Shader Compilation Fix: Help Us Test It!

Hello, Mercenaries!

We have an important announcement for a part of our community. Some players have experienced shader compilation issues, which are frequently related to AMD graphics cards. We have been working to resolve this and have deployed a fix to the Unstable branch.

If you have encountered issues during shader compilation, please switch to the Unstable branch. We would highly appreciate your help in testing this fix! Please report your test results to oursupport team.

How to switch to the Unstable branch?

Open Warhounds in your Steam library, then follow these steps:

  1. Click the gear icon on the right
  2. Select Properties
  3. Select the Game Versions & Betas tab
  4. Enable the shaders_warmup_fix branch

After that, download the small update and launch the game as usual.

Thank you for helping us improve Warhounds!
