Still, it seems like Unreal is leading the charge to fix this problem for players. Hopefully, a permanent solution will make shader stuttering a thing of the past.

Unreal Engine 5 is an absolute marvel—for developers. With tools like Nanite and Lumen, studios can create stunning visuals faster than ever before, using assets with unprecedented fidelity.

Shader compilation stutter afflicts far too many modern PC games, but Hi-Fi Rush's developers went out of their way to avoid it.

Before Unreal Engine 5.2, Epic recommended that developers bundle the most common PSOs into a cache, allowing games to precompile most of the shader code during loading screens.

In short, Epic seems to be saying that it knows shader compilation stuttering is a problem in games that use Unreal Engine, but it's actively working on solutions to it all.
