Dragon Age Veilguard Verifying Shaders

Your CPU is quite weak hence why it takes so long. The better the CPU the faster it will verify shaders. 

Ok Guys After a couple sleepless nightsç I found out that this is the problem of EA.

If you can find the v.build.16179329 and install that evertyhing works just perfect.

But dont ask how I got that build:)

Hey Everyone,  Just wanted to update you that our team has released a new patch 1.0.0 you can find more information here.

Let us know if this has changed anything for you, Cheers!

Rename the folder named shader_cache (Not 100% sure I got the naming right) in the game directory. It resolved this issue among others in my case. :) 

That is not a solution, that might solve the startup issue, but it then causes the game to sutter as it does not have the cached shaders

compiling the shaders in this game is the longest i have ever experienced with any game. It is way too long....it shouldn't take this long when other "aaa" games takes way less time.

Do you have the game installed on a HDD or an SSD? I initially installed it on a HDD and the shader loading was sloooooooow. I shifted it to my SSD and now it just zips through it.
