Many Marvel Rivals players are experiencing frustratingly long shader compilation times on launch. This guide offers a workaround to significantly reduce this delay.

Addressing Slow Shader Compilation in Marvel Rivals

Game loading times can vary, but Marvel Rivals’ PC players are facing unusually long shader compilation periods, sometimes lasting several minutes. Shaders are crucial programs that manage lighting and color in 3D environments. Incorrect shader installation can lead to various issues. Even with correct installation, this problem persists for some.

A community-discovered solution effectively addresses this issue:

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 Lower Value: Select a value less than or equal to your VRAM. Options typically include 5 GB, 10 GB, and 100 GB; choose the most appropriate size for your system.

This method reportedly reduces shader compilation time to mere seconds and resolves "Out of VRAM memory" errors.

While a permanent fix from NetEase is pending, this workaround offers an immediate solution to avoid lengthy loading times. Until an official patch is released, this adjustment is recommended.

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