Delete GPU Related Files So They Can Rebuild - What Files And Where Are They?

[idahosurge]

I have an issue where EDO crashes to desktop all they time when I am in a station accessing the mission board through the terminal UI.

Since I have no other issues with EDO I doubt that this is the problem, but where are the GPU files so I can delete them and force the game to rebuild them? What files do I need to delete?

Usually the game just crashes, but the last two times the mission board got a bunch of little black squares before the game crashed. Looked just like graphic artifacts so I thought I would try this and also update my GPU drivers.

Updating your GPU drivers will usually get rid of the files you are referring to...directly for the driver shader cache and indirectly for the game's GPUWorkTable, which is rebuilt when there is a new update or new driver version detected.

Anyway, if you want to do it manually:

• Delete GPUWorkTable.xml from the game's product directory (whatever directory EliteDangerous64.exe is in).
• Reset your graphic driver's shader cache. For AMD drivers this can be done from Radeon Software -> Settings -> Graphics -> Advanced -> Reset Shader Cache. For NVIDIA drivers, you need to delete the contents of "C:\\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\NV_Cache".
• Clear Windows 10's DirectX Shader Cache files via Disk Cleanup.
