Preload Shaders is a trap

[Sean]

You might have heard prior to purchase this game runs well. This is a half truth. Yes, you can run this game, but you must use the option "preload shaders". Why is this a problem?

Well...using preload shaders makes the loading times so long you will be dropped from a game before you can start. If you don't use it, you'll suffer from horrendous starting lag, and in some maps, lag the whole game.

Inb4 your pc is bad. It's not. Most people experiencing performance issues have average computers that can run most modern games in max no problem. If you are having performance issues now give this option a try. Maybe you can load the maps fast enough with this on. Otherwise....welcome back to CoD ghosts.

I can confirm, if you enable shader preload you get disconnected from the game.

It really sucks. I use the option for offline play and the game runs like a dream, but since you get dropped for long load times I'm stuck in lagsville.
