Stuttering at the match start is worse, shadercache broken on AMD cards
Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug We had this issue since the game launched, but only the first time we loaded that map until the cache was created. This maxes out the CPU which causes the stuttering. Now with the latest patch it doesn't matter if I played a map already the game simply doesn't create the shadercache, even when I select ON for the SWBF2 profile in the driver - so the result is stutter in every match. I know this for sure, because checked "AppData\Local\AMD\DxCache" after resetting the shadercache in the driver and launching multiple matches, there are only a few KB files there while it should be around 130 MB or larger - like it was before the patch.
