bruh, you compile shaders for how long again?

[Knig]

I am on a ryzen 5 3600, compiling the shaders have cost me more than any other software I have compiled including linux kernel and some big Rust (programming language that takes a lot of time to compile) projects. My first CPU upgrade in 6 years is because of a game which should be graphically intensive?
Well, yes, ofc, shaders here we are talking about, but that s a bit too much don't you think? Now I have to upgrade my CPU, too? If the official release and then every shader update still takes 20 minutes to compile...... Gosh this hurts me...................................................

The longer the better. Means that they might have caught all the shader mutations and you won't have stutters when they compile.

This exactly this. I laughed my ass off at FF7 Rebirth 20 sec shader compile that didn't do ♥♥♥♥, UE stutterfest as usual.

Longer the better 100%

Every single GPU driver update and game update requires shaders to recompile. And being that this is a new release there will likely be a LOT of updates.

You are using a 6 core CPU from 2019 that is slower than the current consoles CPUs. If devs were pushing current gen consoles you would likely not be able to get more than ~30fps.

I recommend a 5700X3D if you can find one for ~$200 new or less used. Just make sure to do a BIOS update for support.

dude relax the shader compilation is only the first time u boot it up or if they do some updates to the shaders , it's 10 mins, u can watch some youtube while u wait.

Something must be ‘wrong’ or the beta just dumps the shaders to trash after you close out.


I’m on an I9 and the ♥♥♥♥ taking ten minutes in EVERY launch is not it lmao

That should obviously not happen. They should compile once, or when you update GPU driver.

[Misery1ndex]

People actually sit around and wait for the shaders to compile? Like, if only there was 10 trillion other things to do in REAL LIFE. Go take shower, grab a snack, watch a youtube video, or in your case come onto the steam forums and ♥♥♥♥♥ about it lol

dont wait for the shaders to compile, use that time to be productive

[Touk26]

It took me 1 hour 20 minutes the both times I opened it...
Welp, different pains.

[D. Flame]

Compile shaders in Kena: Bridge of Spirits (full game that looks worlds better than Wilds) less than 3 seconds one time

Compile shaders in MHWds benchmark, 30 minutes+, every time I open the benchmark.

[Kitty_NPC]

takes me like 2 minutes on a 9700x

[RakataEpsilon]

Gonna be honest if it takes 20 minutes to do a shader pre comp step you might want to drop in another AM4 CPU before you buy MHW

[BEEP!]

I think it was like 30-40mins maybe 20-30 I don't know lol.

[Cadaver]

It doesn't take too long for me and the time makes sense comparing it to how long compiling en masse my own shadervariants takes

Its traversal stutter not a shader compilation stutter so even compiling the shaders in front doesn't help in that case

[Cuddle_Rat]

YAY pretty cursor time again!
