(The cache file name tends to change patch version to patch version, so make sure you change the 'transferable' file to the correct name after the first post-patch boot creates a from scratch cache with the new name. This meaning you need to delete the 1.4.0 file from the 'precompiled' folder after you update the game, and let it compile it from the 'transferable' file again while running the new patch. Something to note - It's important to re-compile the cache from the 'transferable' file anytime a game has been updated, even if the older shader cache still works/is supported. Aka not only is the 1.4.0 cache essentially complete, but it also works with 1.4.1 with absolutely no changes needed beyond the steps listed below, and making sure to change the 'transferable' file's name to match the one the new patch uses.

In hours of gameplay it's worked nothing but perfect, and just like on 1.4.0, in all those hours I didn't find a single additional shader that hadn't already been cached.

Update - After EXTENSIVE personal testing of the most up to date 1.4.0 built cache (9439 shaders) on 1.4.1, I can say without any doubt that any crashing problems are being caused by something else entirely.

That leads me to believe the problems are rooted elsewhere (likely a not totally supported graphics pack imo). According to u/anondiscorduser it's completely stutter free, and the currently most complete cache atm (9439 shaders - ) isn't expanding any faster on 1.4.1 than it was on 1.4.0. This avoids tearing and reduces input latency compared to previous methods.That shouldn't cause crashes though (unless you are running out of RAM), but the normal 'new shaders being cached stuttering'. Vulkan also allows us to use a new experimental VSync technique which allows Cemu to use the game's built-in frame-pacing instead. Shader caches work on each game regardless of its region, while pipeline caches are locked to the region of the game that they were generated on. If you're using Vulkan, you will need to download both the shader cache and pipeline cache. If you're using OpenGL, you will only need to download the shader cache. If another user has previously compiled the shaders, they can upload them for other users to import into Cemu.

# Importing shader cachesĪsynchronous shader compilation goes a long way to speed up running games for the first time, however we can also simply download the shaders needed to run each game from the internet. More recent builds can do this in under 1/10th of a second, depending on the CPU. Currently, this feature does not work on macOS at all.Īsynchronous shader compilation in an older, slower Cemu version. You may need to update your graphics drivers to use this feature.
