Compiling Shaders doesn't work (stuck with no progress)

After searching for hours on google and the forums; I found the solution.

  1. Open the file “C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.XX\Engine\Config\ConsoleVariables.ini” in any text editor.
  2. Find the line “; r.XGEShaderCompile = 0” and remove the “;” at the beginning of the line and delete it.
  3. Then just restart the editor.

After restarting the editor “Compiling Shaders” starts working properly again.
