Does Anyone Else Skip Processing Vulkan Shaders? (aussie.zone)

Title. I always skip them and don't notice any detrimental effects at all. I used to let them run every time, but I don't want to wait 5 minutes for every patch update bug fix anymore

I've never seen shaders take so long to process as in enshrouded. Normally it ticks up every few seconds, but in enshrouded it just sat there at 0% for longer than was reasonable. So I just skipped it a few times when launching the game. By the time I got through the game settings and set up my character the game loaded enough that I didn't even notice a shader issue.
