Issue When Changing GPUs

Hello, I had a PC with a Ryzen 5 5600X and an RX 6700-XT. I played many hours of Veilguard with this setup. I purchased a new GPU (RTX 4070 Ti Super) and played some Veilguard with that with a few m...

    Please clear your temp files:

    • Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time
    • Into the new window, type or copy & paste:  "%temp%"   (Without the quotes.) > hit "ENTER"
    • Now your Windows Explorer should have brought you to the "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Local\Temp" folder. > Delete all files and folders in it.
      (If some files or folders can't be deleted, reboot and try again.)

    Then:

    • Go here and download "Revo Uninstaller". (The freeware version, Portable version works too.)
    • Run "Revo Uninstaller" > Uninstall DATV.
    • At the end of the main uninstall, Revo will ask you which cleaning method you want to use. > Select "Advanced" > Browse
    • If "Remaining registration content found" is displayed > Select All > Delete > Next
    • When "Remaining Data and Folders" is displayed > Select All > Delete
    • Reinstall DATV.
    • Reset the driver shader cache.
    • Reboot and test.

I'm not 100% certain that it ever did the shader compilation step after the last round of driver deletion and replacement. What I am sure of is that 1) the contents of shader_cache were deleted manually, but they exist again now with a "Date modified" from yesterday afternoon 2) The game is NOT doing shader verification on every bootup (unless its doing it silently now for some reason).

Is there a way to force a shader recompile?

    @holger1405 Thank you! Veilguard is now playable after clearing out the temp files, clearing out that cache, and revo uninstalling Veilguard.

    There is still something weird happening (it stutters like hell in fullscreen mode in a way that I don't think it used to) but it's playable again. Thank you for the help!!
