I know your pain; it was, unfortunately, the very first thing I ran into when I started playing. Thankfully, fixing this strange issue is relatively easy and only takes a few steps. How to fix the compiling shader screen not loading in\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2 You can\u00a0fix the compiling shader screen\u00a0not loading in\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2\u00a0by following these three steps: Close\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2\u00a0completely, including the\u00a0Steam app. Re-open the app, which should trigger a\u00a0151MB update. If you don't see this update, you can manually update\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2\u00a0by going to your Library, selecting\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2, Properties, Updates, and ensuring you're \"Always keeping this game updated.\" Once it's downloaded,\u00a0press play\u00a0and you'll load into\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2's\u00a0start page. You bypass this compiling shader screen altogether. If the compiling shader screen is still stuck while loading, you may need to uninstall and reinstall\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2 completely. As I said, when I was excitedly loading into\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2, I got stuck on this very same compiling shader screen\u2014and no, it doesn't eventually load. I waited at least 10 minutes \"just in case\" it progressed, but sadly, it never went anywhere. So, if you're experiencing this issue, follow the steps above if it's stuck. As I was playing on the Steam Deck, all I did was shut down my device, and as soon as I powered on the Steam Deck, the update was already downloading because I had my device set to update automatically. Because it's only 151MB, it doesn't take long. Once it downloaded, I went to play\u00a0Dragon's Dogma\u00a02, skipped the compiling shader screen, and went straight to the start page and could get on with my adventure. If you're experiencing the issue where the compiling shader screen isn't loading in\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2,\u00a0this is everything you can do to get playing.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DD2-Magick-Archer.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1173257"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2158"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1173257"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1173257\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1173300,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1173257\/revisions\/1173300"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1171752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1173257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1173257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1173257"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1173257"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1173257"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1173257"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1173257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

I know your pain; it was, unfortunately, the very first thing I ran into when I started playing. Thankfully, fixing this strange issue is relatively easy and only takes a few steps. How to fix the compiling shader screen not loading in\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2 You can\u00a0fix the compiling shader screen\u00a0not loading in\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2\u00a0by following these three steps: Close\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2\u00a0completely, including the\u00a0Steam app. Re-open the app, which should trigger a\u00a0151MB update. If you don't see this update, you can manually update\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2\u00a0by going to your Library, selecting\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2, Properties, Updates, and ensuring you're \"Always keeping this game updated.\" Once it's downloaded,\u00a0press play\u00a0and you'll load into\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2's\u00a0start page. You bypass this compiling shader screen altogether. If the compiling shader screen is still stuck while loading, you may need to uninstall and reinstall\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2 completely. As I said, when I was excitedly loading into\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2, I got stuck on this very same compiling shader screen\u2014and no, it doesn't eventually load. I waited at least 10 minutes \"just in case\" it progressed, but sadly, it never went anywhere. So, if you're experiencing this issue, follow the steps above if it's stuck. As I was playing on the Steam Deck, all I did was shut down my device, and as soon as I powered on the Steam Deck, the update was already downloading because I had my device set to update automatically. Because it's only 151MB, it doesn't take long. Once it downloaded, I went to play\u00a0Dragon's Dogma\u00a02, skipped the compiling shader screen, and went straight to the start page and could get on with my adventure. If you're experiencing the issue where the compiling shader screen isn't loading in\u00a0Dragon's Dogma 2,\u00a0this is everything you can do to get playing.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DD2-Magick-Archer.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1173257"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2158"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1173257"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1173257\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1173300,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1173257\/revisions\/1173300"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1171752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1173257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1173257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1173257"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1173257"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1173257"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1173257"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1173257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
