Building shaders WTF?

Playing on a toaster?

Short version, shaders are related to graphic stuff. Gotta build graphic stuff if you want to play with graphics, which is probably a good idea.
For a longer version you'll have to find someone more knowledgable .

As for the time it takes it's related to your GPU (and the CPU too I think, though I'm pretty sure the bottleneck is the GPU),  mine is a potato so I tend to join the game 5-10 seconds late

Nah my GPU is 2 years old and still runs every game. Cant be it, impossible.
My rig is fine. Im not even gonna think about the issue being on my side, since this game is fucked up in every possible way.

Your Pentium III and 8400gs rig has reached its limit.

I´ve had this issue too since the patch. When it occurs even loading the main menu takes minutes. I repaired the game and the loading times went back to normal.....

until it happened again just today. Repairing fixed it again though. Curious what would cause this suddenly.

Is that what it says? It goes by so fast I can't even read it, I assumed they messed up the tips they put on the loading screen.

Don't act like it then. Problem solved.

Have you tried smacking the side of your PC tower?

Get those shader building juices flowin'.

theres a post about it for NVidia cards on the ea answers forum and how to fix the issue and speed things back up again

been trying to find something similar for amd.

apparently something isn't drawing the shader files in the right place so instead of being created once and being stored for future use there being drawn in the temp file area every time you try to do anything and the nbeign overwriten by the next batch....

and yes its caused by the 1.05 patch and it affected a lot of folks (likely down to updating graphics controller after patching the game)

I have the same problem since the last patch, and my "toaster" is a GTX1080 so I don't think it's a performance issue

Yes, the year before last' model. Time to get something new and shiny.
