Launcher freezing after building shader cache

Issue Description:
whenever I try launching the game, there is a window saying “building shader caches”. when the window closes and presumably finishes building said caches, nothing else seems to happen. The system says the program is running in the background, but nothing visible seems to come out of it. There are no error messages, nor crash reports, and waiting for the program to finish has not shown any progress (the longest I’ve let it run has been five hours)
