For the past 6 days, I’ve received 5 updates of more than a Gigabyte!
What are these updates? Although the game has very few issues, they are never fixed!

Edit:
Apparently it’s not updates, but downloads of undermined purpose?

    Acording to SteamDB, there has been no updates. I didn’t manually check all of the 355 depots though. I’d guess it’s either shader cache, corrupted game files, or a bug in Steam.

      OK I didn’t know you could do that, this is very strange? Is there a way I can see a log of my steam downloads?
      https://steamdb.info/sub/46441/
      Says here May 2024 was latest update.
      But it’s not just me, my wife also get these updates downloads?

        Are you sure it’s not just validating? Like, do you actually lose a GB of space on your drive every day?

          IDK, it actually just says “downloading 1 of 1 items”,
          But AFAIK it doesn’t need to download to validate.
          It just did it with Borderlaqnds GOTY Enhanced while I was playing Borderlands 2?
          It only says downloaded and completed, nothing about why there was a download.
          I started it by mistake, just before playing Borderlands 2, and skipped it before it was finished with shaders?

            If you hover over the (i) symbol next to the title, you’ll see that’s a shader cache update.

              OK Thanks, the notification is gone now, but I’ll try next time.
              But I thought shader cache was generated locally?
