2025 D3D Error & Black/White Launch Screen Fix

I was having issues with simply launching the game where I would get frozen on a black screen and then the hammer & anvil cinematic would be a white screen with sound. The game would crash and I would get a d3d error message.

I have discovered that the simplest fix for this is:

BROWSE LOCAL FILES - SHADERS - D3D11

and deleting the "COMPRESSED_SHADER_CACHE.SACK" found within.

Great. That is one of the suggestions in the self help topics above to fix that issue. People should look there before reporting these common issues.

I noticed when looking for the solution myself that the Steam discussions are a mess. There were dozens with possibly the same issue (unclear) but of those who had been replied to some had been told to completely reinstall, some were told they had a support ticket, some were being questioned about sending a log, but none of them actually seemed to say what a working solution was.

Hopefully I can get this to the top of the pile so people don't have to search here there and everywhere for such a simple fix.

(As an aside I just want to ask Steam to work on their Discussions page. Especially the tech support!! It's chaos and a hundred different posts could all be talking about exactly the same thing with none of them helping anyone!)
