darrowlykos: So never got a prompt for an update. Game was working okay. I took a small break and next time I go to start it, it will not get past 1/3 of shader compilation. I see there is supposed to be a patch for this but it does not seem to have rolled out for all of us. It is also not listed in Galaxy nor the website downloads. Starting to feel really cold these days for us Goggers.

Doyle_138: Got it to work without hotfix by removing every shader cache I could find (including some weird directx cache through the free space tool included by windows) and then restarting the game every time it hung up as often as needed. You should see it progressing via the loading bar every time you restart.
