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.

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.
