why is it every time i launch the game it “optimizes” before loading in? also, every time i launch the game i get a warning about my drivers not being up to date. the game runs fine when i ignore the message and launch it anyway. and yes, btw all my drivers are up to date. i updated them just a few days ago and when i check them i am informed they are the latest versions.
Normally “optimizing” should only happen after each graphics card driver update, or some cleaner-apps can remove shader-cache, but it shouldnt happen all the time at every launch.
I remember i saw a few other topics about this message, some got driver version “-1.-1” and some can ignore it, some crash even tho they had proper drivers installed.
I don’t know exactly what the solution is, maybe try DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), and try to install gfx drivers again?
or try to run the game as administrator, try a clean boot of windows using “msconfig”

funny enough i’ve been running the game as administrator since early release. it was the only way i could get the game to run. as the game runs as it is, i am hesitant to do anything to my drivers. i have other games on this rig that i play as well.
I’m on PC. The game only optimizes for me every time the game receives an update.
Game will optimize very time it gets a patch or when you update drivers.
