What do the icons on the screen even mean?

[Sir Gigachad of Thundercock]

I keep getting bad performance and network icons pop on my screen and I can't find anywhere what the meaning is.

Cube with dots is shaders compiling

Tachometer is latency/ping

The rectangle thing is VRAM running out.

What about the tachometer with 2 Hs or Rs or whatever they are (It doesn't even have the appropriate size for me to tell)

Also why are shaders compiling so often

Check my edit for details of the icons.

As for shaders. You cache the majority of them on the main menu. It will show in the top left if they're still compiling and it's recommended you wait til they're done before joinig a server.

Additional shaders are cached as you enter new areas but these are much smaller batches.

Also, shaders will need to recompile after every game update or driver update.

Where do I report these compilations causing my game to crash? When I enter not-so-new areas sometimes the shaders will compile again and make the game crash

What are your specs? Once the huge shader compilation is done at the start, the small ones should not cause an issue and be done in seconds.

But to report issues, use:

https://support.madfingergames.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

You can get to this link from the main menu where it says to report bugs or submit issues (can't remember the wording).
