Shader compilation every time ?

[Gurincrivel]

Every time I open the game, it starts compiling the shaders, yesterday I had to wait 3 times, and when I opened it today I had to wait again. Does this happen every time or is there something wrong with my game?

No problem here

[Websteroni]

No, you aren't the only one. Don't get me wrong, it's much quicker than the first-time shader compilation, but it does go through a similar process every time I start the game.

I have the same thing happen but it's around 30 seconds

Same here but it usually takes a few seconds for me, loading into the game is fine as it continues to load shaders

where is the shader? I want delete it.

Do you have shadercache enabled on a Gcard level? i personally do all my shaders through shadercache (ON) Gcard level, not through steam shaders. and i haven't had an issue.

I've not seen it do a shader compilation even once unless I missed it the first time.

It's super quick, you can spot it in the bottom right corner of the main menu, but you'll miss it if you blink.

It seems to be slower to the point of being noticeable for some people though.

Got this for the first time as of right now. The game has done it the odd once or twice but very quickly.. I logged in like 5mins ago and it started and is crawling along now.
Just hit 40%, can't play the game as its so stuttery during so have to wait now..

Jesus this is a total mess of a launch

Mine does it every single time. A few times it was less than 30 seconds, but today it was closer to 10 minutes...Very annoying. Also occasional audio distortions, sounds robotic. Atreus's voice is super quiet even when right next to him. Game has crashed multiple times. File size is ridiculously large. This game needs some serious corrections, no doubt about that.

Linux here. Performance is good, except some rare circumstances, not a single crash after 24h, so not a general or Hardware compatibility Problem.
But Shader compilation happens EVERY TIME and it takes 15-20min.
No differences between first and subsequent launches.
Only if I close it and open it RIGHT AFTER I had it not compiling shaders and properly caching.

Also monitoring with mangohud, in the main menu as playing while the compilation runs massively decreases performance and it hangs all the time, GPU is 60% and CPU 80% so it is not really pushing the hardware to get through the compilation faster.

With other games / steam shader caching earlier my machine was fully utilized, to make the compilation go as fast as possible.

I have this issue, every time I launch it has 10 mins of shader comp on the ROG ally. Also when you quit the game steam thinks its still running so has to be manually stopped...

Same problem with the Legion Go, you find yourself a fix yet?

For NVIDIA cards, go into your NVIDIA control panel --> Manage 3D Settings --> Global settings tab. Then scroll down to Shader Cache Size and set it higher. I set mine to 100 GB. That should handle current games you're playing. I imagine AMD cards have a similar setting somewhere in their control menu. Hope this helps.
