Something is terribly wrong with Shaders since 3.27

bump!

I think I've solved my long loading times in Path of Exile.

I'm using two SSDs:
Slower one (C:) has Windows
Faster one (D:) has POE and caches

First, I moved the game cache by adding this under [GENERAL] in production_Config.ini:
cache_directory=D:\cache

But NVIDIA cache(Bigger file size than poe cache) was still writing to the slow C: drive at C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\NVIDIA.

So I did this:

Created D:\NVIDIA folder on the fast drive

Booted into Safe Mode

Deleted the NVIDIA folder from C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\ (or you can move it to D: first instead of deleting. I suggest deleting it.)

While still in Safe Mode, opened Command Prompt as Administrator and ran:

mklink /J "C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\NVIDIA" "D:\NVIDIA"

Restarted normally

Important: Replace "YourUsername" with your actual Windows username.

Loading times got way shorter after this. Might not work for everyone but worth trying.

something is terribly wrong with shaders for several years now i am still loading the same shader assets every time i restart my game it keeps loading the same aassets so my green bar is always full and my fps tanks hard i have tried milion solutions and nothing has helped
