Compiler Booster

Speed up your light and shader compile time.

Tired of wasting hours of your daily work in lights and shader compile time?

This asset set the CPU priority of the compilers higher than by default.

• Speed up the shader compiling time up to 72%!
• Speed up the lights compiling time up to 43%!

Watch the video in the description to see it working!

Tested on a Intel core I5-6500 @3.20 GHz (this plugin can work with Intel or AMD)

Important note:

• Changing the priority of the processes affects the performances of the engine, please save your work BEFORE boosting.
• Be aware that all processes on your computer can be affected. I recommend closing any program outside the engine that consumes a lot of CPU while boosting (like Chrome for example).
• This asset can only work with UE4 for windows.
• The performance of the compiler booster on the landscape compilation cannot be guaranteed because of the multiple processes involved.
• This asset is not designed to work with task distribution systems like Unreal Swarm.
• This plugin is an editor plugin, the editor needs to be fully launched for it to work (it won't work while the editor is launching).
• If you want to speed up the editor launching time, check the documentation for a workaround.
