I have come to hate the term Building Shaders

You mean when you log in and it's loading the map?

I suppose it depends on your rig and video settings how long this takes. I had an issue a couple of times that my audio card's software was tripping so it ate up all my cpu power...took forever to load those shaders then but usually it doesn't take that long.

Could it be that your computer specs are maybe not that strong or could there be somethign eating your cpu power away?

I wouldn't think so.  It happens sporadically.  One session I have loading sliders galore, most sessions no issues at all.

Well the shaders are part of the graphics. Not sure why you hate it so much if it rarely is an issue.

This is absolutely true. However, it may not be random. For me this occurs if I play the game, then close it but leave Origin running, then start the game again later.

That's when loading turns slow and I am able to see the "Building Shaders" message and the numbers counting up with a naked eye.

In contrast, if I sign out of Origin after closing the game and then do a fresh sign in before starting MEA again, all loading is lightning fast.

If it is some sort of caching, then why would leaving the client running make things slower and not the other way round? Mystery 😕

well, currently it beats the loading screens from earlier versions of andromeda, now most i the time i wait like 30 seconds or so. in earlier versions i could watch myself grow old waiting for a save game to load.
