Ok, I’ve done it and it seems that it’s working. No more infinite shaders compile. Thank you!!! Hoping this will be the only problem I will find xD
I’ve uncommented it and changed from = 1 to = 0
Guys a quick speed up Tip. If u guys are only building many materials have only textures (I.e no material nodes ).
U can create a sample material with all texture types and create instances of it . For each version just change the texture part. If u do not understand what I meant comment below.
I really didn´t see diference
I was able to successfully compile an exe out of the code using VS 2017 and double-clicking the sln
The shadercompileworker is run with below normal priority, you can fix this by changing one line in the engine, but a much easier way is to just modify the shadercompileworker program to raise its own priority level on launch.
for example in ShaderCompilerWorker.cpp add this in the GuardedMainWrapper:
#if PLATFORM_WINDOWS
DWORD new_level = NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS;
/*or ... */
//DWORD new_level = ABOVE_NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS;
HANDLE hproc = GetCurrentProcess();
SetPriorityClass(hproc, new_level);
#endifHi, I’m new to the engine. Can you tell me how to do this in more detail? I can’t seem to find ShaderCompilerWorker.cpp. I’m running it on my Macbook Pro and the shader compilation seriously prevents anything from loading. Thanks!
Unreal Engine now has a [config option][1] for that, no need to recompile…
Engine/Config/BaseEngine.ini
[DevOptions.Shaders]
WorkerProcessPriority=-1 // change to 1
