NO SHADER HSL FOLDER FOUND error at startup

Featured Replies

Good afternoon,

All was working fine this morning, then this afternoon, when launching P3DV4.5, as usual, I had the NO SHADER HSL FOLDER FOUND.

by searching over the net I have found a procedure here, https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=123246 but what is the generated files? which files am supposed to delete knowing that I have literally zillion of addons, sceneries and of course all my PMDG QW FSLABS AEROSOFT aircraft.

5) Remove your generated files.

Delete the files in these locations, Copy the TEXT below and paste them into the windows search bar

Delete the following generated folders/files. This will result in any add-ons being removed/disabled.
  • %PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5
  • %LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5
  • %APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5

Thanks for help and if any one have a shorter way to solve this, I am delighted to learn.
