Shader Compilation?

[Zyppeler]

I was interested in buying this game on release day but due to heavy shader stutter (thanks unreal engine) and no shader compilation I changed my mind in th end. Now I'm curios if they added shader compilation with a patch or is it still a stutter mess?

I never had any shader stutter issues with the game. So, the cause for your stutterd must be something different.

The first time you start the game there´s a long(ish) -depends on your hardware - shader compilation. After that´s done, the shaders compile only for a few seconds after every new start of the game.
No issues for me here.

It's a unreal engine game and if there is no shader compilation there will be shader stutter. I saw that it had no shader compilation on the demo and had the classic shader stutter, I also saw many videos that showed exactly this; shader stutter. Digital Foundry for example talks about this problem also: https://youtu.be/CCEYFUrErAk

That you experienced no shader stutter must be one of the following reasons:
1. You play with a rather weak PC that has never good performance to begin with such as a constant framerate so your brain is kinda used to stutters
2. You played it after they patched (?) shader compilation.
3. You simply lie.

Well that anwesers my question. There is a shader compilation, nice.

See, you are bullshitting yourself with your reply towards me. You can check my specs in my profile and as I stated, I had no issues with shader stuttering. Finished the whole game with all achievements.
So, I played it since the day one patch.

Yes i got hard stutters in the first few hours, from 150fps down to 70 and back again, that only went away when i limited the fps to 60 and used Lossless Scaling framegeneration x 2 to lock the framerate to 120fps. I noticed no input lag, but it was likely there.
