Since i'm on Linux, shaders created by the game should just be a waste of processing power, as they would be incompatible with Vullkan. If this is the case, and shaders are no longer cached, shouldn't each start up be painfully slow? Yet only the first one is, they have to be stored somewhere, I just dunno where.Įdit: A bit of testing has concluded a few things. There is nothing you can do to change it on your machine, except asking the devs to revert back to the old (also imperfect) caching system. It's the same for everyone and has been reported countless times on this forum. Originally posted by Ryusennin:The shaders are NOT stored any more since the last couple updates. For some reason the shaders are building up each time I restart the game.didnt happen before with the same update.in between the exit and launch the exe the storage where the game is installed changes dynamically.I get lets say 2 GB more for storage.and when I get back in game after a few minutes.the game 'eats' the GB's back In my case game's shaders use ~650-680Mb, not 'a few GB'. But why it's clearing itself after a reboot I can't say. Also you can start the game right after main menu is loaded and this skips optimization with no negative impact, as long as you have precompiled shaders in your GPU cache.Īre you sure the space gets allocted as long as the game is running? Then just minimize it and inspect the game folder, maybe the file is there just as long as the process is running.Īnother question: is your system installed on the same ssd? If yes, then maybe it's your GPU shader cache. My guess is that they've just pushed all the caching work to your own GPU cache, instead of doing it twice. After the initial compilation the shaders are loaded from there, it takes about a minute at most. I don't know about AMD, but Nvidia have their own local shader cache. When killed, squirrels will drop common items such as various types of meat but sometimes they will drop items that are useful for upgrading or trading with merchants. In Zero Dawn they will drop Squirrel Skin or Squirrel Bone, while they will drop Squirrel Bone or Squirrel Hide in Forbidden West.Originally posted by GoulactiX:Does anyone know where they were relocated? It seems devs just stopped using local cache file and the shaders are loaded directly into the memory as long as the game is starting the process of optimization. Sometimes squirrels will try to evade enemies by climbing trees, at which point they will eventually vanish into the leaves and disappear entirely. Their small size and speed make them difficult to hit with an arrow when fleeing, however they can be chased on foot. Rather, they will flee when Aloy gets close unless undetected. Squirrels will not attack or cause any harm to Aloy. Squirrels can be found anywhere in the Cut or the Forbidden West but usually prefer heavily forested or areas or areas with tall grass that provide protection from predators. When killed, they drop loot vital for several crafting recipes.
