Performance is still trash

[Dark Tesla]

Game ran great yesterday Ultra 60fps, only today to be a complete unplayable slideshow and I don't understand it. I thought they fixed performance in the last patch like WTF!?!?!?

nothing changed since yesterday

Your shader cache may be wonky and in need of clearing. If you don't know how to do so, I'll help you out.

If you're using an NVIDIA card, open the NVIDIA Control Panel and navigate to Manage 3D settings > Global Settings > Shader Cache Size, and change it to Disabled.

Restart your PC, open File Explorer, navigate to this path:

"C:\Users\YourUserNameHere\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\GLCache"

Delete the folder with all the numbers and letters. In NVIDIA Control Panel, change the shader cache back to its original value or just 5GB to be safe, and reboot once more. When you launch The First Descendant, it should rebuild its shader cache and hopefully fix your performance.

If you're using an AMD graphics card, open AMD Radeon Software, click the gear icon in the top-right, click Graphics, scroll down and expand Advanced section, and hit "Reset Shader Cache".

Hopefully this should fix it for you. I limited my FPS to 10 when I walked away from my machine before when the game was building the shader cache and when I came back and put my FPS back to normal my game ran at 20-30FPS constantly. I relaunched the game to see if it was just a fluke and it stayed. I had to clear my shader cache and leave my FPS uncapped while the shader cache was building and it played smooth.

Same thing was happening with UE4, take DBD for example, it was barely playable for a year until Epic Games rolled out an engine update. Give it time.

Hey man I have a question if you don't mind: I followed your guide for NVIDIA gpu but I retarted the game it didn't do any shader compiling (like it usually does during loading screens)... Did I do something wrong? Or maybe they moved shaders to another folder? Thank you.
