Throne and Liberty Shader Optimization Fix

The best way to fix the shader optimization not downloading in Throne and Liberty is to completely uninstall and reinstall the game.

This will no doubt be a pain, but players on Reddit have reported this as the only way to get the best visuals and textures. If you’ve got a speedy internet connection it should be no trouble, but those with slower speeds may want to try hard resetting the game and loading back in before taking the drastic measure of reinstalling.

Fortunately, if you’re playing on Steam or console that’s quite easy to do. Just head to your storage management and delete Throne and Liberty, then go through the download process again. Steam users more specifically can also try clearing their cache and verifying the game files.
