So basically title, it seems if I don’t open a project for like a month or so compiled shaders get deleted and they need to be compiled again. Looked through inis etc and didn’t find any setting responsible for this behaviour, how to stop this?
Hey there @mighty_ganesh! Welcome back to the community! Changes in GPU drivers or updates to the engine can cause shader recompilation to be necessary. So if this was between a couple months, it’s possible your GPU drivers or a hotfix to the engine had occurred in the meantime.
As a note, cached data of all types in most software engineering disciplines tends to have a time frame where it is set to be invalidated anyway. I don’t believe that is what’s occurring here, but without a deep dive into the source, it’s just conjecture.
