Can anyone post a step by step of how to clear the shader cache if you're using Steam to launch the game? I'm having some graphics related crashes since I get a new GPU, and I'm thinking this is a good place to start troubleshooting.

Haven't actually tried this, but check out:

Hope that helps man

I believe that is only for the stand alone launcher. I did find barricade.pak in the steam folder, but I'm not sure that's the right thing to be deleting.

Is there any error message showing up when the crashes happen ?

Also: Shaders cache is here: C:\Users\YourWindowsUsername\Saved Games\MechWarrior Online\Shaders
Just delete it and see if it helps.

So I meant to say I found shadercache.park. auto correct got me. Is that cache the same one that the steam launcher uses? I knew how to delete that, but I didn't think that was the same one that steam used.

Yes, it is the same one. Tried it out myself.

According to Russ Steam don't need the repair tool because steam has validate game files..
