obsolete shaders delaying loader?

[bilbous]

It always seems to take a long time to load the login screen. These two lines seem to indicate the hangup:
  Unable to open shader file ‘/shader/terrain_fixed_base.xml’!
  Unable to open shader file ‘/shader/terrain_fixed_splatting.xml’!
after it stops looking for these files the progress bar appears at 3/4 complete and rapidly finish.

Is there any way to tell the app to stop looking for these to lessen the load time? Are they even used anymore?

I suppose I ought to look in the cache directory before asking, or delete it, would that help?



deleting the shadercache did not help

that's not related to those specific shaders.
however it's the step at which all the shaders get loaded, etc. - you only see those 2 messages because those happen to not be present (successful loads don't throw any message)

the reason the progress bar "hangs" at this point is that some things are loaded blockingly and therefore prevent the window from updating during that time.

Thank you for the reply
