While I've seen variations of this bug in this past, this is the worst, as you don't even get to the character selection screen.

I have DX12 turned off BTW, so not sure why its even optimizing shaders, as it used to only do that when DX12 was turned on.

    Thanks for asking. Yes, the bug I reported got fixed somewhere along the way.

    While you can open a separate bug with your issue, it is unlikely to get fixed given where the game is in its lifecycle (i.e. no more updates).

    So everyone can at least try this.......I got this fixed as of a few mins ago on 12/12/19. I was here on this forum post looking and was messing with settings.

    I am running an evga rtx 2060 sc ultra 6gb through the alienware graphics amp. I just reinstalled SWBF2 a few weeks ago after 4 months or so not playing. And I have been getting this Optimizing Shaders on start up and between maps. I know dx12 makes it worse after testing, so I'm using dx11.

    With that said. This seems to bee a graphics setting issue, from what I just found.

    I run the game at ultra setting, no blur, no filmic, no grain and no lens distortion @1080 120refresh. (setting at the bottom)

    So what I did was after the Optimizing Shader finished (which is usually less than a min, but still annoying), I got to the main screen and went to graphics, and set to default and restarted...thinking it might help. It did not, so I turned it back to Ultra, tuned off blur, filmic, chromatic, film grain. Of course there is no apply button...so I hit Reset to default again and set to Ultra and turned off those mentioned items....restarted..

    And now NO optimizing shaders at the start...restarted 4 times and its gone. Just tried it again as I'm writing for 5th restart, no shader optimizing on startup at all now. Restart 6, and still gone.

    I mean it's worth a try. I believe it has something to do with default and custom, something must be hanging up.

    My settings for the game, starting from top of graphics men

    50% brightness

    fullscreen/or windowed

    monitor # is user choice/default

    1920x1080

    119.98hz

    auto dynamic range

    dynamic res is greyed out but says yes

    OFF dx12

    vsync ON

    fov 70 /user choice

    blur 0

    filmic effects OFF

    grain OFF

    lens distortion OFF

    res scale 100%

    Ultra quality

    6 restarts and no Optimizing Shader on start up.  Must be something in the Reset to Default graphics button restarting then setting to your choice.

    Hope this helps someone else. This has been bugging me since reinstalled last few weeks.

    This was a great help. I was having the same issue and now no longer have to optimize shaders after 1st reboot using your solution. Thanks!
