Question How to stop long build times due to compiling shader variants?

Hi,

I don't know what has happened but recently my build times have become such an issue for me, it's time draining and costly, especially since my game is multiplayer to where I need to create builds for me to test.

Originally, my first-time export was SIX HOURS long, SIX HOURS. That is madness.

Ever since then, my what was once 2-3 minutes export have become around 7-10 minutes of exporting.
My game isn't that big, and I don't even think I've installed a lot of shaders.



This is where it hangs, I'm on 2021.3 version.

Is there really not a way of going about this, or do I have to actually wait for the 2023 supposed fix for this?
