More than two years after Russia’s full-scale invasion delayed its release and upended its developers’ lives, Ukraine’s "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2" — one of the most anticipated video games of the year — was released on Nov. 20.

Hey fellow Linux gamer, does the game compile your shaders from scratch every time it starts, or it’s just me? Started it 3 times so far, 45 minute compilation each time… Absolute PITA.
Edit: forgot to mention I have the GOG version, you may play in Steam with its fancy shader cache updates…?
I am on steam yes. Good shout about getting it on gog though. I do get a fair chunk of shader pre compilation. But not 45 minutes, maybe like 5? And then there is some once the game has launched in a loading screen as well.
