Let me compile my thoughts and anger.
The real last boss in most PC games, compileting Shaders, joined the fight Borderlands 4.
This annoying message, which appears seemingly everywhere in the contemporary PC game, harassed some players in a fresh booty shooter. Here’s what we know about it so far and what you can do to alleviate the problem.
Borderlands 4 Composing shaders, explained

“Compiling Shaders” is an unfortunate trend in the last few years when it comes to playing PC. Due to the growing complexity of game graphic designers, shaders are constantly compiled and last a little longer than in the past with graphics, which are not as intense for the computer.
Usually, chasers are compiled when the game is charging. In the case of Borderlands 4It happens when you open the game for the first time, but sometimes it also happens when traveling between Kairos areas.
Traditionally, the Shader compilation should be a one -off operation, but with YR4, It seems that this happens more often than it should. This may result from changing the graphic settings.
“It should be remembered that every time you change any graphic settings, your shaders will have to compile again,” Gearbox he said. “Please play for at least 15 minutes to see how your computer’s performance has changed.”
This and general general performance of the title may be the reason why “shaders compilation” happens so often in YR4,with which many are struggling, regardless of the quality of their compilations. But because of the continuous compilation of shaders, it seems that having a sturdy processor is very critical to run YR4.
For reference, here are the minimum and recommended game specifications:
- Minimum requirements
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11
- Processor: Intel Core i7-9700 / AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
- Memory: 16 GB of RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 / AMD RADEON RX 5700 XT / Intel Arc A580
- Storage: 100 GB available space
- Additional comments: requires a 64-bit processor and operating system. Requires 8 processor cores for the processor. It requires 8 GB VRAM for graphics. SSD storage required
- Recommended requirements
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11
- Processor: Intel Core i7-12700 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
- Memory: 32 GB RAM
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 / AMD RADEON RX 6800 XT / Intel Arc B580
- Storage: 100 GB available space
- Additional comments: requires a 64-bit processor and operating system. SSD storage required
For now, “Shader Compilation” can be a problem with the processor or the optimization of the game itself, but remember to change any settings can make this happen often. Be up to date with Gearbox Communications to see if there is an update in the work. Otherwise, take a snack during composes and composes.
