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

Addressing Slow Shader Compilation in Marvel Rivals

Game loading times can vary, especially for online titles. However, the lengthy shader compilation in Marvel Rivals on PC is causing frustration for many. Shaders are crucial for rendering 3D graphics correctly, and improper installation can lead to various problems. While the issue isn't directly related to user error, a community-discovered workaround effectively resolves it.

The Solution:

A suggested fix involves adjusting Nvidia control panel settings:

1. Access your Nvidia Control Panel.
2. Navigate to the global settings.
3. Locate the Shader Cache Size setting.
4. Set the Shader Cache Size to a value less than or equal to your VRAM. Note: The options are limited to 5GB, 10GB, and 100GB; select the closest value to your VRAM.

This adjustment not only speeds up shader compilation (often reducing it to seconds), but also eliminates the "Out of VRAM memory" error reported by some users.

While a permanent fix from NetEase Games is pending, this method provides a practical solution to avoid lengthy loading times.

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