Whenever I open the game it says 'loading and compiling shaders' which takes about 5-7 minutes.
Back in S9 I had the same issue but it didn't say 'loading and compiling shaders', it gave me a black loading screen for the same 5-7 minutes. This started with the Genesis update.
Please fix ASAP otherwise I'm sitting out S10 and the BP.

I tried this fix and it worked so far. Might have to go through the load once after trying it.

I've been having the same issue since the Season 10 started. I tried the graphics card driver update and the disable and re-enable shader cache. It speeded up the loading process, but I got major frame freezes during the entire game, in multiple servers and graphics set to minimum.
I followed this suggestion to completely remove the graphics card driver and re-installed GeForce Experience and the driver:

I not only have the same frame freezes but also got the "Loading and compiling shaders" message again every time I start the game. What's bothering me the most is the frame freeze, it's becoming impossible to play the game, especially because it gets worse in combat. This is one of the recordings I made of the issue:

It's BACK, yes, months of this crapola and still the coders can't get it right.

One of the mods posted here before saying that they passed it into the technical support team but it seems they deleted their post.
This is absolutely ridiculous because the reddit post has over 250 comments and some of us have spent money behind this game...
