For anything that does this, or just Borderlands 4?

Better games just pre-compile them so you don't even have to wait for anything.

You can preload any games shaders in steam, as far as I know. Mainly it helps with loading times.

I'm fairly sure downloading/preloading shaders is a thing only for steamdeck, as the compilation result is different based on hardware & driver versions. Only "fixed" target valve has is steamdeck.

edit: actually, I might be combining two different things in my mind. Steam has downloading precompiled shaders for games for steamdeck, but has the preload/precompiling option for other systems?

Linux has that for vulkan shaders but like, you still get compiling shaders when loading in bl4 even after that.

I don't recall satisfactory having that issue and it's ue5 afaik, hits a solid fps too even with global illumination on.
