# Eden Switch Emulator: Shader Compilation Stutter and Cache Setup Fix

When playing Switch games in Eden for the first time, or after updating Eden or clearing the cache, you experience heavy stutter or brief freezes every few seconds — especially in 3D areas, cutscenes, and transitions. This is shader compilation stutter: Eden is building a shader cache for each new scene in real time. The fix is enabling asynchronous shader compilation and managing the shader cache correctly.
