bDeterministicShaderCodeOrder

With this option off, the shader code will be stored in the library essentially in a random order, squarely the same in which the assets were loaded by the cooker.

Syntax

bool bDeterministicShaderCodeOrder

Remarks

With this option off, the shader code will be stored in the library essentially in a random order, squarely the same in which the assets were loaded by the cooker. Enabling this will sort the shaders by their hash, which makes the shader library more similar between the builds which can help patching, but can adversely affect loading times.
