How To Skip Shader Compilation in Stalker 2

Today we bring you an explanatory guide with all the information you need to know about How To Skip Shader Compilation in Stalker 2.

The entrance logos and shader compilation process make Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl launch slowly. An integral part of creating a seamless gaming experience is the shader cache, which is pre-built during shader compilation. Nonetheless, whereas this only occurs occasionally in other games, it occurs with each startup of Stalker 2.

The Shader Compilation doesn't have to occur every time you run Stalker 2 because players have already finished it the first time they launched the game. On top of that, if you want to run the app faster, you can disable the intro splash screens that display different logos. To rephrase, following this tutorial will make Stalker 2 launch on your PC go more smoothly.

How To Skip Shader Compilation

On a personal computer, Stalker2: Heart of Chornobyl's Shader Compilation process takes around 1 minute and 30 seconds to finish. Just getting to the game's main menu takes an eternity. So, to skip the Shader Compilation instalment in Stalker 2, here's how to do it.

• To open Run, press the Windows key plus G. Then, type "AppData" and press Enter.
• Go to the following path: Local > Stalker2 > Saved > Config.
• The Steam client requires access to the Windows folder. Navigate to the WinGDK directory for Xbox Game Pass users, accordingly.
• A new text file should be created and renamed to "Engine.ini" at this point.
• After pasting the lines below into the file, save it and then close it.
• [System Preferences]

Heatup Materials (r.PSOWarmup) is set to zero.

Launching Stalker 2 now will bypass the Shader Compilation procedure, allowing it to launch faster. While the procedure is significantly speedier, it is suggested that you re-enable it after installing a title update or an update to your GPU drivers.

The lines in the Engine.ini file can be deleted or the WarmupMaterials value can be set to 1.

Getting Rid of the Stalker 2 Opening Title Sequences

Disabling the intro logo movies would cause Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl to launch even faster, skipping them every time and going straight to the main menu. Here's a way to turn off the Stalker 2 entrance logo movies.

• In order to access the configuration file, navigate to this GitHub repository and grab the one that corresponds to your game client—Steam or Xbox, for example.
• After the download is finished, copy the "Stalker 2" folder from the extracted files and put it into the Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl installation directory. Navigate to Steam, right-click on Stalker 2, go to Manage, and then choose "Browse Local Files" to access the directory.
• The game can be started after the files have been pasted.

Upon starting the game, you will normally get the health warning message. However, following that, the game will briefly go black and quickly let you access the main menu. These features in Stalker 2 are also enabled or fixed while using this mod.

• Turn on the developer workspace.
• Fix the X/Y sensitivity mismatch and disable mouse smoothing.
• Modify the field of view of the viewmodel.
• Make cutscenes not use pillarboxing or letterboxing.
• Correct the vertical field of view (FOV) issue on an ultrawide monitor.
