Every day NMS has to update. Is this because I run it on Linux or is it just how NMS is? Today it was a 4,6 GB update
Since I’ve switched to linux, a lot of games have been starting doing shader pre-caching updates regularly. Might be that.
For me, the Vulcan shader pre-caching is different. It is a pop up with a percentage indicator. This is a regular steam update like it used to be on windows.
I get those popups too at times, but they are not what I am referring to. The shader pre-chaching updates I mentioned work in the same way you described your phenomenon, through the regular update menu.
Interesting. I get the vulcan shader render popups every single time, on all games. But only NMS will dowonload updates like this through steam
Sometimes you see a little (i) icon besides the download item. If you hover over it you can see what Steam downloads
Welcome to Linux. Where you’ll spend more time monitoring and updating your dependencies than actually using the software.
