Restart Shader Preload

You can restart the Shader Preload by going to the settings button on the top right of the screen of the game. Head t🔥o the graphics menu and click on the Restart Shader Preload option. Once you do it, it will delete the existing shader cache and preload the new shader.

Update your graphics driver

First things first, you want to make sure that you ha♋ve updated the graphics drivers, as outdated drivers can hinder the shader preloading process. You can get the latest drivers on the NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel website, depending o𒀰n your GPU.

Remove background apps

In c꧂ase you are on a PC, make sure to end the background processes of apps such as Chrome, Discord, etc. that can suck up the CPU memory.

Reinstall the game

If the issue still persists, you might have to reinstall the Bo6. Also, in case you are reinstalling the game, you don’t have to install other ti♓tles like Call of Duty like Warzone, Modern Warfare, etc. since installing the Bo6 is sufficient.
