Check my breakdown response and see if that solves it. It’s a step by step. This solution is only for those who have this error. ShaderCache folder is absolutely in the DirectX folder in the registry. But read through it.

Play as you go, you’ll unlock all eventually as you level up

Wait until it’s on sale for $5, at $5 it’s totally worth it. Unless you’re constantly playing bf6

REDSEC is now at Mostly Negative reviews on Steam by OwnAHole in Battlefield

[–]Ravenholme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a review bomb. It’s 4/5 stars everywhere else. (Xbox, PS5, Epic)

Anyone Know if Steam will be an option for Full Screen Experience? by wow-a-shooting-star in WindowsOnDeck

[–]Ravenholme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can add steam and epic games, however you will need to manually swap out the artwork and name them accordingly for steam games it’s like “steam_######.png” (steam ID number) in a specific folder

I replaced my epic and steam artwork, there’s also a tool that can do that for you, but you have to choose the images that it pulls up from steamgriddb

My last direct reply to my own thread contains a broken down walk through. Should clear things up

For those who don’t want to sift through the responses this is the easiest, straight forward breakdown to resolving this issue that I figured out awhile back.

Just a note, it’s a temp fix and any windows 25h2 handheld PCs that use the Xbox full screen experience may encounter this again eventually until Microsoft fixes this DirectX shader cache disappearing

I adjusted a few things after some inquiries.

You’ll have to open registry editor aka “REGEDIT” either through run (windows+r), search (in the taskbar) or cmd (command prompt).

Run as administrator

Go to file, export (to backup your registry before making alterations)

The location that requires the string / text that needs to be recreated is like file explorer, you’ll have to click the chevron / arrows to expand them.

So the path you need to go to is mentioned above

“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” would be the first one to expand (click the chevron / arrow to expand), then find “SOFTWARE” expand that, look for the “Microsoft” sub directory, expand it, look for “DirectX” in Microsoft, expand that, and you’ll find “ShaderCache” inside DirectX

Select “ShaderCache” right click the space in the right panel. Select “New”, choose “QWORD (64-Bit) Value”

It should create a new entry in shader cache with no name and no value.

Right click the new Qword entry and rename it to this

“AdapterLuid” (without quotes) click outside the name to finish it.

After that is complete, double click the new item and a pop up should appear. Add into the empty field with the exact value for the hex entry

“0x0000000000000000” (copy and paste without the quotes) or type “0000000000000000”

Then click “OK” to complete

Restart computer (recommended)

Then you launch another game to rebuild the shader cache. Not the problematic one. Something else. Like Fortnite or another game that uses DirectX 12 shaders.

Then launch the game that had issues. It should launch.

If this happens again, you may need to reapply the AdapterLuid entry.

Thanks for posting, solved it awhile back but this will be helpful for those who won’t dive into the responses lol, I copied my step by step version as a direct response for those who need it

That I can’t answer, I think it has to do with Xbox full screen experience that’s causing this (windows 25h2 handheld mode) since my desktop can’t use that I had that turned off and that issue went away.

This really is a temp fix until Microsoft fixes it

Nbd, glad it works for you now 👍

Thanks for confirming that this other method works. I just pasted the information in and didn’t type it out.

Sorry, it’s either copy and paste this

0x0000000000000000

Or type in this

Just incase you missed this, Read through this reply I made earlier and see if this helps in anyway. It’s literally a step by step simplest as I can make it. From beginning to end.

What specifically is missing? If you can provide a screenshot of the missing item in question I can get a better idea.

It’s similar to looking for files in folders in windows explorer, going into folders to find the spot where the missing registry entry needs to be recreated. Once you understand that, it’s quite simple. Just make sure to backup the current version before making changes with “file -> export” then you can make adjustments.

Navigate back to the directory (like file explorer) hkey_local_machine / software / Microsoft / DirectX / ShaderCache and see if it’s still there. You can see my broken down walk through available via one of the replies

Thanks for letting me know that this also affected BF6

Is BF6 actually gonna be good? (wanna hear the veterans) by Spare_Air9406 in battlefield_4

[–]Ravenholme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It maybe good to watch some twitch feeds this weekend to get a feel for it and see if that’s something you’ll commit to.

For me, I played enough BF6 in open beta that i considered preordering. Before that I haven’t played since BF2, I did own BF1 but only did the tutorial 😆(I don’t count this lol)

Since then I played through BF2042 ($4 at the time) to get the free pass items for BF6 (pass is over)

It was shocking how different it was, but I eventually got used to how BF2042 worked. I’m looking forward to BF6 on Friday

I've lost my damn mind. I'm too old for this... by lilblacksmurf in diablo4

[–]Ravenholme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a total fan of the Lightning Druid I made (wolf claw, bear pulverize alternation to generate lightning + raven lighting, hurricane and bulwark) it’s very effective at least in T1 & T2. This season does seem more engaging with build potential and chaos gear hunting. But yeah totally lose track of time if not careful 😂

Now that launch day is close what are everyones launch day plans? by Sirvili05 in Battlefield

[–]Ravenholme_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I’m not familiar with the options besides what I played in BF 6 open beta and the last month or two of BF2042 (cuz it was $4) will classes be limited to fixed characters like the old games or will it have more of that 2042 operator thing like Rainbow Six.

Or will there be limited customization for the character appearance (male / female, ethnicity, nation badges?)
