Scan your project and pre-warm shaders, materials, and passes with off-screen Forward & Deferred cameras. Kill first-use stutter on DX12, smooth spikes on DX11.Eliminate first-use stutter in the Built-in Render Pipeline.StutterShield scans only the assets you actually ship and pre-warms them behind your splash or menu, so gameplay runs smoothly from the very first frame.Key FeaturesSmart scanning – Collects materials from active Build Profile scenes and user-selected prefab folders.Broad material coverage – Supports Renderer.sharedMaterials, ParticleSystemRenderer, LineRenderer, TrailRenderer, and optional Unity UI (TextMeshPro skipped by default).Dual-path warmup – Off-screen Forward and Deferred cameras ensure both menus and gameplay are primed.Pass pre-rolls – Seeds G-Buffers, depth/normal, motion vectors, and shadow maps before play.Runtime control – Adjustable materials-per-frame, progress UI hooks, and completion event for gating scene loads.Optional preview – Show a visible warmup on a chosen renderer or keep it hidden off-screen.Safe & clean – Skips nulls, avoids build bloat, and cleans up all temporary cameras, lights, and render textures.Platform BenefitsDirectX 12 (DX12) – Eliminates shader PSO (Pipeline State Object) compilation hitches by priming all used variants before gameplay.DirectX 11 (DX11) – Reduces first-use spikes from material/texture binding, shadowmap allocation, and other heavy passes.Steam Deck / Proton – Gains the DX12 benefits automatically when running through Proton.Technical DetailsSupports Unity 2020.3 LTS → 6.2 (latest).Supported pipelines: Built-in Render Pipeline (Forward + Deferred)Platforms tested: Windows DX11, Windows DX12, Steam Deck via Proton (DX12 path)Not currently supported: URP / HDRP (planned roadmap)Some elements of this package were created or refined with the assistance of AI tools.– Used OpenAI ChatGPT to rewrite and optimize several functions for improved performance and readability.– Used OpenAI ChatGPT for text editing and comment improvements, with all content manually reviewed and adjusted by the author.– The package logo image was generated using an AI image generation tool and subsequently edited and finalized by the author.All scripts, functionality, and implementation logic were designed, tested, and verified by the author.
