I tried this fix and it worked so far. Might have to go through the load once after trying it.

Every time I start the game I get a "loading and compiling shaders" message and it takes a long time to load. I followed these instructions, which consist in re-installing the graphics card driver and disabling and re-enablin "shader cache", and the problem got fixed:
When I start the game the loading is speeded up alot or the message doesn't even show.
The problem is, the game is not running well and I get constant freezes. In combat, it gets worse. I have friends complaining about the same issue. I recorded a video showing it:
I followed this instruction to solve the freezing screen, which consists in using a tool to completely remove the graphics card driver and re-install it:

I've installed nVidia GeForce Experience and used it to install the graphics card driver to its latest version. It not only didn't solve the problem, but also got back to the "loading and compiling shaders" when opening the game.
I just bought a new motherboard, processor and ram memory. Also changed my coolers. The graphics card is less than a year old, the whole system is new. Specs:
Asus EX-B460M-V5
Intel i5 10400F
nVidia GTX 1650
8 GB RAM DDR4
"loading and compiling shaders" when opening the game. the same for me after s10 update
Please fix this issue it is driving me crazy
I dunno if you tried this yet but it worked for me. If you have an Nvidia GPU -
1. Install LATEST drivers for GPU
2. Open Nvidia Control Panel - 3d Options - turn shader cache OFF, click apply
3. Turn shader cache BACK ON, click apply
4. Restart cpu - run apex, let it compile the shaders one last time.
I did that and haven't had any problems at all - the game runs better than ever before, I couldn't believe it was a driver issue.
Yea i've done these steps like 10 times now, since 2 days ago, it fixes it temporarily then randomly boom back to the same screen. Honestly does my head in
