Many Marvel Rivals players are experiencing extended shader compilation times on launch. This guide offers a solution to expedite this process.

Addressing Slow Shader Compilation in Marvel Rivals

Game launches, especially online titles, often involve extended loading times. However, Marvel Rivals PC players are encountering unusually long shader compilation periods, sometimes lasting several minutes. Shaders are crucial programs managing lighting and color in 3D environments. Incorrect shader installation can lead to various issues.

A community-sourced solution effectively addresses this problem:

1. Access Nvidia Control Panel: Locate and open your Nvidia control panel.
2. Adjust Shader Cache Size: Navigate to the global settings and find the Shader Cache Size option.
3. Set a Lower Value: Set this value to a size less than or equal to your VRAM. The available options are limited (5GB, 10GB, 100GB), so select the closest appropriate value.

This adjustment significantly reduces shader compilation time, often to just a few seconds, and also resolves "Out of VRAM memory" errors.

While this workaround is effective, players may prefer to await an official patch from NetEase. Currently, the developer hasn't publicly acknowledged the issue. To avoid lengthy loading times, consider implementing this solution.

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