Game constantly crashing when startup [solved]
After the update I played well. But just now when I launch the game I can get to the descendant screen, when I press start the preparing shader loads to 30% then it crashes. Restarted and everything.

[Solution:
1. At the Start screen, set all to ultra and turn Additional option to off, then it will load fine. Then go set everything back in setting.
2. Do like this guy here

this fixed it & greatly sped up the loading screens on everything

C:\Users\YourUserFolder\AppData\Local\M1\Saved\Config\Windows
open Engine.ini


add this at the very bottom of the Engine.ini

[SystemSettings]
r.ShaderPipelines=1
r.ShaderPipelineCache.Enabled=0
r.D3D.ForceDXC=1

Method (1) is completely normal and the game looks the same. Method (2) would make the game look worse. Choose one that solves your error.

incredibly frustrating hearing all my guild mates playing and enjoying the game and Im stuck with this shaders loading crash crap. They need to deploy a hotfix immediately. And the longer it take the more impressive the compensation needs to be for affected indifiduals.

Reset shader cache.

Shaders are totally wonky after patch. After every disconnect during gameplay, I have to clear my GC's shader cache. It's a pain. Disconnects are bad too.

I thought I was the only one with this issue. Every time I try to load in after I press start the game starts to load into Albion, but then the game crashes around 25%-46% of the shaders loading in. It's happened at least 20 times now so I just uninstalled it and am reinstalling it in hopes that will fix the problem. It was the first thing Google recommended for it.
