Explanation

My game is getting stuck on "Initializing Shaders". Before the last update it used to do that aswell but after one or two restarts it worked fine. Now it gets stuck on "Initializing Shaders" every time I start. I tried verifying files, checked that drivers are up to date, waited 15mins on the "Initializing Shaders" screen, restarted after that again, nothing worked. Tried to start it 10 times today and gave up after that.
