The game crashes while compiling shaders—what should I do?

If this happens, try the following steps:

• Update your graphics driver to the latest version.
• Clear your GPU shader cache.
• For NVIDIA GPUs:
  • Method: Clear via NVIDIA Control Panel
    1. Right-click on the desktop → Open NVIDIA Control Panel
    2. Go to Manage 3D Settings → Find Shader Cache Size
    3. Set it to Unlimited or Disabled, then apply the settings.
• For AMD GPUs:
  • Method: Clear via AMD Software
    1. Right-click on the desktop → Open AMD Radeon Settings (Adrenalin Edition)
    2. Go to Settings → Graphics → Reset Shader Cache
    3. 3. Confirm to clear

• During shader pre-compilation, avoid switching windows or running other operations—wait for the process to complete.
• If you are using an Intel CPU, certain models from the 13th or 14th generation may experience crashes, especially during shader compilation. It is recommended to refer to Intel or your motherboard manufacturer's documentation and update to the latest BIOS. If you continue to experience instability, please contact your system manufacturer (OEM/system integrator), Intel customer support (for boxed CPUs), or your point of purchase (for tray CPUs) for further assistance.
