How to open SHADERCACHE file?

The most common problem when using Space Marine Shader Cache is that a specific SHADERCACHE is not associated with the program. This causes the file SHADERCACHE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SHADERCACHE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

The first step is to check if the computer has the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SHADERCACHE files.

Programs to open SHADERCACHE file

Remember to download programs supporting SHADERCACHE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine with SHADERCACHE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SHADERCACHE file still does not use the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SHADERCACHE file with the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine application.

Step 3. Update Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine program, it is possible that Space Marine Shader Cache requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Relic Entertainment Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SHADERCACHE file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The SHADERCACHE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SHADERCACHE file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SHADERCACHE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SHADERCACHE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SHADERCACHE file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SHADERCACHE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Relic Entertainment Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SHADERCACHE files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SHADERCACHE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SHADERCACHE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
