SHADER CACHE

The Shader Cache is the collection of compiled shaders which replace the vanilla shaders at runtime. Clearing the shader cache will mean that shaders are recompiled only when the game re-encounters them. This is only needed for hot-loading shaders for development purposes.


DISK CACHE

The Disk Cache is a collection of compiled shaders on disk, which are automatically created when shaders are added to the Shader Cache. If you do not have a Disk Cache, or it is outdated or invalid, you will see "Compiling Shaders" in the upper-left corner. The window will not freeze but you will be unable to interact with the game until this completes. After it has completed upon reloading the game you will not see this again, and there should be no delay.

This Disk Cache is located in Data/ShaderCache. Delete this folder to wipe it.



CONTRIBUTING

This project lives and dies by community contributions. The overarching goal is to bridge reverse engineering with graphics programming. This can only be done through a unified effort due to numerous complexities related to such mods.

This is a community project, which means any (well, most) contributions are welcome. User interface improvements and translation support would be very useful, or just some cool colours and improved styling. If you really want to add some easter eggs, go for it. 


REQUIREMENTS
d3dcompiler_47.dll REMOVED from the root folder OF SKYRIM ONLY if you have it (otherwise some shaders may not be able to compile).

An AVX CPU. Basically any processor.

An NVIDIA GPU which supports DirectX 11.3. Other GPU vendors may work with some features but are not officially supported at this time.
We try to do as much as we can to support other vendors, but we need an AMD and Intel Arc maintainer to be able to provide reliable support.

SE/AE
Address Library for SKSE Plugins

VR
VR Address Library for SKSEVR


COMPATIBILITY

Compatible with 1.5.97, 1.6.1130 and VR only. (Other versions may work but are unsupported)
Not compatible with ENB. This mod disables all features if ENB is present, otherwise the game will crash. It can be used as a replacement for ENB for mods that require ENB/Particle Lights.
Not compatible with Shader Tools (Parallax Fix, ShaderTools Updated). Delete SSEShaderTools.dll and ShaderTools.dll. This mod includes Shader Tools functionality.
