Season start Shader Preloading program for POE2
|
I wanted to drop a suggestion related to load time issues that alot of people have !!!"ESPECIALLY"!!! on new season launches when the old shaders get removed.
I am many other people on this game have huge load screen issues with this game due to shaders, sometimes sitting on a load screen for up to 5 minutes. Other that the load screen times most of us have no problem running the game full tilt. It would be nice if a option was introduced into the game that allowed you to preload all shaders required to play the entirety of the game all at once. Basically a shader installation process that starts and does not stop until all shaders have been loaded and processed. The worst thing about a new season in my opinion is the extreme lag and load times of a fresh new season going live, it would be very nice if a bit of that could be midagated preseason start so everyones game can run smoothly. Just for the record also its not just about the power of my computer, I know plenty of people with monster computers that have the same shader cache loading issue at the beginning of the season, perhaps its not as severe but it is noticable even on very powerful machines. Thanks, please do consider adding a preshader option to the game so people can click preload shaders and walk away and come back to a fully functional game and not a constant load screen nightmare.

" While I would like this too, this isn't entirely on GGG. I can see why they don't do it. What a lot of people don't realise is that shaders are wiped whenever you do a driver update. That's completely outside of GGGs control. How many people would get upset to download 20GBs of shaders day one... NVIDIA comes out with an update and suddenly they are forced to redownload. Those people are probably going to blame GGG or Steam. blaming them for a "broken" solution. Yer it would be great to have the option, but I feel due to peoples ignorance it's not worth the complaints. |
