The script runs for 2 hours (7200 seconds) and sets priority of each worker process to High. $i=0 while ($i -lt 3600) # Source: Letoric from ARK Modding Discord It makes more sense to automatize the task with a script, like the Powershell one below: Your system may be unresponsive until the tasks are done.Ĭhanging priority of a worker from within the Task Manager is not going to have much effect, as the workers are short-lived and will end once their task is done. Beware that increasing the priority of a process will cause the operating system to schedule them more often, leaving less time for other processes like window manager. However, you can increase the scheduling priority of Shader Compile Workers, which start with value of Below Normal by default. There is not much you can do to speed up asset loading without buying a faster disk. If a shader is not compiled yet, default grid material will be used. Shader compilation is a CPU-bound task, and data exchanges between the compiler workers and Dev Kit will cause similar, shorter freezes. For example, loading a Material for the first time or modifying it will cause its generated shader to be compiled.

This is a synchronous process heavy on disk I/O, and the editor will appear frozen for its duration.Ĭertain assets need to be also built for your platform before they can be utilized.
