Shaders constantly re-loading

Even in my own hideout, when I KNOW that the game has already loaded everything, all the armor my character is wearing etc. it still takes some time and the Shader bar is full for some reason? Why?

Fix it please. Its unbearable along with how laggy the league mechanic is. Not playing until this game is properly optimized.

I full-cleared a map and did all the mechanics in it, and then I missclicked my portal and went back in and the Shader bar was full again, loading stuff for no reason. Even though I was just in that map and it had loaded everything. This is just unacceptable lol

My game is on an SSD. So its 100% an optimization problem/some kind of bad coding with Shaders.

did same map 20+ times, each time i enter i see drive and shader bars being active for ~2 minutes, even when char stands still at the portal.

tried both vulcan and dx12, identical behavior.

Yep, same for me. Takes minutes to load shaders even when I exit and enter a fully cleared map where I did all mechanics with 0 monsters remaining. There's 100% something wrong with how the game does Shader loading. It even loads shaders in my hideout when I've been in that hideout many times already and it should have loaded everything by now.

I'm on directx12 too, good to know that changing to Vulkan would be the exact same lol

Bump, this needs to be looked into. Many people are having horrible performance with constantly full Shader bar since this patch. And long loading times.

Same for me, but not so often, just 1-2 time per map.

Windows -> System -> Display -> Graphics -> Custom
check if PoE is listed if not add the .EXE and set to High Performance.

have you tried this one?

It worked for me

Doesn't do anything, neither does increasing shader cache size from nvidia control panel. Its on GGG's end, something is wrong with how shaders are loading.

On Linux, I had to set the launch command for larger shader cache

"

__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SIZE=100000000000 %command%

If you're on windows and with an nvidia card, there's a setting in NVidia Control Panel, change it to a higher value or unlimited maybe.

Tried changing it to 10 GB, it was exactly the same. Can't make it unlimited or 100 because with PoE installed on my ssd where Windows is, I only have 47,9 GB of free space. Last patch this problem didn't exist, its 100% something wrong with how the game loads shaders and GGG need to fix it.
