The precreating shaders error in Space Marine 2 is sometimes accompanied by the game crashing, but if the issue is solely related to the shaders taking a long time to load, you should try the following steps.

  1. Update your Graphics Drivers.
  2. Verify the game files by following these steps:
    – Right click Space Marine 2 on Steam.
    – Select Properties.
    – Select Local Files.
    – Select Verify Integrity of Game Files.
  3. Restart Space Marine 2.

If the above solutions do not fix the error, unfortunately, the only thing to do is to wait for the game to load. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to 15 minutes, but hopefully, a patch will be released to fix the issue.
Should you continue to encounter the precreating shaders error, the best course of action is to contact Saber Interactive support. You can also use social media platforms like Discord and Reddit to discuss the problem with other players and find potential solutions.
