SCSKiller Tool Eliminates Shader Compilation Stutter in Unreal Engine 5 Games

A free open-source tool called SCSKiller compiles a game's shaders into the GPU driver cache before launch, removing shader compilation stutter. In Silent Hill: Townfall stutters dropped from 24 to 0 and the worst frame time from 347 ms to 8 ms. It supports UE4/UE5, Unity, RE Engine and FromSoftware titles, but cannot fix traversal stutter.
