Shader error

Hello,

Can you tell me what is to be done when CF crashes with the following message: Could not load legacyshader.fxo
The game was reinstalled and the problem still persists.

Many thanks.

  • Usual fix that work for me:

    1. Delete DirectX shader cache : right click on c:\ (where windows is installed) - properties - disk cleanup (check directx shader cache) - delete files - ok

    2. GPU Driver options : disable Shader cache ( this options is available for all nvidia and some of amd GPU )

    3. If you are using Nvidia experience - disable ingame overlay option ( also for any other aplication running )

    4. Run game as an administrator and don't use any compatibility mode.

    5. Update windows and GPU driver is are any update available.

    Thanks for the note. The issue was solved once ran in compatibility mode.
