thought this would be it. I had to wait about 10 minutes for the
shaders to load, which I thought was ridiculous. Normally that alone is enough for me to get a refund. I still don't know if that's a one-time thing, or every time you play a game. I've never played a game more
than once that had to load shaders. I have an 11900K and a 4080Super.
Shaders are calculated once per installation. It generates a local database with the shaders, and re uses that with every run. Some games re calculate shaders upon hardware change or driver update. Still, 10 minutes seems a sever impact in load time to wait for the game to become playable. Most games generate a "base" amount of shaders and progressively calculate more as you move through the world...
Anyway, that would be deviating the conversation towards shaders calculations and Bethesdas proficiency with game engine design.
