Fatal error encountered while waiting for shader

If you are still struggling to inject after following the initial guide, follow the steps below:

1

Pre-Injection

• Restart your computer before injecting, it fixes a lot of things.

• Close unimportant apps.

2

Injecting

• Start the Cryo loading process, and press "ok" on the popup like normal.

• Click Play in the BSG Launcher, then immediately remove your hands from your keyboard and mouse.

3

Waiting For EFT

• Wait for the EFT icon to appear in the taskbar (may be blank).

• As soon as you see it, move your mouse and click the icon, but do not press anything on your keyboard before this.

4

Key Pressing

• Right after clicking the taskbar icon, begin pressing a single key (e.g. F).

• At the same time, click inside the game window as soon as it appears. Continue pressing/spamming a key while doing so.

5

Done

• If the game does not crash by the time the loading screen appears, you likely did everything correctly.

General Notes:

• If there’s no success notification, but the game opened first try, you might have pressed keys too late.

• If the game crashes/closes or never opens, you may have pressed keys too early.

• If the game closes immediately after clicking Play, ensure you do not touch any keys or the mouse too soon.

• If the game still closes after pressing Play, you can also try minimizing the BSG launcher after clicking Play.
