Update every day? (discuss.tchncs.de)

After starting Steam, every day it starts a Update for Satisfactory for near 120 - 170MB. Are there really every day new updates?

Are you on Linux? There’s constant shader pre caching updates on my steam deck. I ended up turning it off, it was taking way too much space on my deck.

As far as I can tell that space never got refilled. Probably because I have 40+ games installed but usually only play 5 or so. I haven’t noticed a performance impact and it’s saved me tons of bandwidth (my ISP sucks).

Since currently I'm only playing Satisfactory, and I have downloaded the shader's, it should not come back the next day? Or is that wrong?

I mean, it's not the download which annoy me, its the time before I can start the game. It takes ages to download this 170MB from steam server's. Normally 170MB is transferred really fast for other things, but the update takes 5 minutes and longer from steam server's.

If it is shader pre caching, yes it will continue to give you updates almost daily. My deck was constantly downloading them when I had them enabled.

Yes. Arch Linux, but on a laptop. Nice combination. I thought the pre-caching is displayed as a separate dialog for Vulkan, which I can interrupt, if I want.

But I have every day a message directly right nearby the play button which reads something about "Download Update..." and the play button is grayed out.

Many thx at all. Disabling pre-cache solved the issue for me.
