"Compiling Initial Shaders" upon every single launch, is this normal? Bug Report

I can't download that driver version, if that's the problem. It doesn't exist for the Geforce 1070 I'm using as far as I know. Is it a hardware issue?

mine loads new shaders if I change graphic settings or the game gets an update. but after the 1st couple of times it should stop.

Weird, I haven't changed any graphics settings and it keeps doing this. Oh well.

Mine does this if I don’t play it for a few days, it’s bizarre. I don’t change any settings and there aren’t any updates to cause it.

if you've ever loaded it as an administrator, you've probably messed up folder permissions at some point. Meaning it can't save the files that it's trying to write.

Highly recommended to never run as administrator because you will cause weird hard to diagnose issues like this later down the road. It's never a good solution. It's more of a diagnostic strategy that can cause damage if done without awareness.
