Bug Synchronous Shader Compilation slow / bugged in 2022?

Why is synchronous shader compilation so slow and distracting in 2022? There didn't use to be a pop up and the editor would maybe miss a frame or two and then it'd be done. Now there are a bunch of pop ups and the whole process takes like 10x more time and is super distracting.

The video is with the first LTS but the issue hasn't changed as of .7.

 

Built in.

 

I did, a couple of months ago, but I didn't want to upload the whole project, so I submitted without a repro and apparently the video and the logs weren't enough and the bug was closed.

I'm using all custom vert frag shaders, haven't had this issue with 2021. When 2021 loads the shaders, it maybe hitches for 1 frame, if that (and there's no pop up) so the experience is much smoother.

I'll see if I can find the time on the weekend to do a minimal repro.

 

I just submitted a bug report, it's IN-53978

Here is a comparison video 2021 vs 2022 in a minimal repro scene:

I guess we can work around this one by enabling async shader compilation, but I find the cyan color the objects have while loading far more distracting than the minimal hitch 2021 has (and also the hitch behaviour is closer to what happens when built on a device, so I don't know what I'm gaining by async shader compilation in the editor).

In any case, I fully expect QA will not be able to reproduce, which is fine, we are probably going to skip 2022, it would be nice if some of these issues were fixed for 2023 though.

 

I'm starting to think this is an "if" and not a "when"...

 

This was successfully repro-ed by QA a while ago, I'm posting the issuetracker link here as well: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...up-when-compiling-many-shaders-simultaneously

 

So I am playing around with the URP sample scene and moving around makes things hang and stutter, I feel like shader compilation has become many times slower in 2022 (and 2023). I thought it had to do with my own shaders somehow, but it seems even worse with URP stuff.

 

I mean, is this how it is for everyone? This makes using and testing in the editor very frustrating.

 

This is driving me nuts - on Windows 10 some of the shaders compile every time I play the game in the 2022 editor and then again when I stop play. Models go blue, FPS tanks. TLS errors in the console. It's a mess and really makes testing in the editor a nightmare.

2021 was just fine, it seemed to cache the shaders, but in 2022 it just keep recompiling them all the time.
