No real progress shown on (first) start of the Squad SDK

in UE 4.16.3 when I launch Squad SDK, the progress bar is stuck on 83% for many many minutes, even with my 16 thread Ryzen 5 1600X all at 100% load, I cannot follow the progress of the shader compilers’ work. I need an estimate on how much longer it will take.

Hello FHDanielNL,

Unfortunately, Squad SDK is a third party resource that uses the Unreal Engine, and therefore not created by Epic Games. Because of this, we do not provide support for any issues regarding their product. You can find Squad SDK support here: Squad SDK - Official Squad Wiki

If you are still experiencing the issue outside of the Squad SDK, please let us know so that we can help you further.
