Many Marvel Rivals players are experiencing extended shader compilation times on launch. This guide offers a solution to significantly reduce this wait time.

Addressing Slow Shader Compilation in Marvel Rivals

Game launches, particularly online titles, often involve a period of loading. However, Marvel Rivals PC players are encountering unusually long shader compilation delays, sometimes lasting several minutes.

Shaders are crucial programs managing lighting and color in 3D environments. Incorrect shader installation can lead to various problems. Even with correct installation, many Marvel Rivals players are experiencing this issue. Fortunately, a community-discovered workaround exists.

The Solution:

A user on the Marvel Rivals subreddit proposed a fix that appears effective for many players. The steps are as follows:

1. Access your Nvidia Control Panel.
2. Navigate to the global settings.
3. Adjust the Shader Cache Size to a value less than or equal to your VRAM. (Note: Options are limited to 5 GB, 10 GB, and 100 GB; select the closest appropriate value.)

This method has reportedly reduced shader compilation times to mere seconds and resolved "Out of VRAM memory" errors for many users.

While a permanent fix from NetEase Games is awaited, this workaround offers a practical solution to avoid lengthy loading times.

Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
