Neverending shader compilation!

Hi, i got a little problem when compiling ubershaders in OpenGL, for every three seconds, the remaining timer delays 3 minutes.

Example

Compiling shaders

Elapsed time: 00:15 Elapsed time: 00:18
>>
Remaining time: 15:00 Remaining time: 18:00

Direct3D works okay, only lasts around 15 seconds.

Tested on New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Using latest revision, 5.0-4992.

Hardware info on my profile (It's kind of low end).

Is the problem that the timer shows the wrong time, or does it actually take that long?

3 minutes, timer shows around 2:45 hours... The loading bar is around 3%

Intel's windows OpenGL driver is notoriously bad. I suspect this is a driver bug. Just use DX11, as it's nearly always better for Intel's driver.

If you must use OpenGL - you can try to make sure you have the latest drivers from intel.com - but I wouldn't hold out much hope for the lowest end part of the (now) 5-year old IVB architecture. Disabling ubershaders may be your only option.
