Difference between revisions of "Sackboy: A Big Adventure"

From PCGamingWiki, the wiki about fixing PC games
(Undo revision 1296281 by Mygod (talk) Unconfirmed, source is from an old leak from an even older build. Also, leak only suggests Raytraced patcle effects shadows... so don't know where the RT AO and lighting comes from...)

==Issues unresolved==
 +
===Shader compilation stutter===
 +
The game suffers from noticeable regular shader compilation (CPU compiling GPU code) related stuttering whenever anything new appears on screen during gameplay. This issue is exacerbate by there being no pre-compilation of shaders at the main menu as shaders are only compiled during gameplay whenever needed.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/1599660/discussions/0/3464983493942329211/|title=Shader Compilation Stutter!! #Stutterstruggle - Steam Discussion Forum|date=2022-10-28}}</ref><ref>{{Refcheck|user=Mrtnptrs|date=2022-10-28|comment=Encountered quite severe shader compilation stuttering in the few first minutes of the game. After that, as most initial shaders of most common effects on-screen were compiled, it became less noticeable}}</ref> This is an issue that happens often as of late particularly with Unreal Engine 4 games.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2022-df-direct-weekly-talks-state-of-play-and-horizon-forbidden-west-post-patch-image-quality|title=DF Direct Weekly: stuttering problems in PC games is getting out of control - Eurogamer|date=2022-10-28}}</ref>

Issues unresolved

Shader compilation stutter

The game suffers from noticeable regular shader compilation (CPU compiling GPU code) related stuttering whenever anything new appears on screen during gameplay. This issue is exacerbate by there being no pre-compilation of shaders at the main menu as shaders are only compiled during gameplay whenever needed.[8][9] This is an issue that happens often as of late particularly with Unreal Engine 4 games.[10]
