Hello. I figured out shader compile on my pc is too slow.
I added just one vector3 parameter and compiled it.
It took over 10sec.
So I tried on other coworker’s pc.
It finished in 3sec.
I checked task manager.
when shader compiler is running, only 1 ShaderCompileWork.exe is working
and it enable 1sec, disable 1sec, enable 1sec, disable 1sec, repeat until compile finish.
coworker’s is running 3 ShaderCompileWork.exe and work continue until compile finish.
I dont know why it happened even my pc’s spec is higher than my coworker’s pc.
I’m using SSD and coworker is using HDD.
both windows 10 and UE4 version is 4.21.
please help to fix this problem.
thank you.
I checked my log when compile is running.

I found a solution.
I uninstalled incredible build and it fixed.
Thanks man! Incredibuild was the problem for me too! My shaders compile faster than ever thanks to your suggestion!
For me, it is the opposite haha. It’s much faster with Incredibuild. I guess you need to try out and find out for yourself.
You can try to delete the “\UnrealEngine\Engine\Plugins\XGEController” plugin.
