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?

I dunno about you update issues, But one thing I have to point out is the Linux native version of BL2 is an outdated build so if you want to play co-op with Windows players you have to run it through proton.
So it’s an outdated build, yet it gets frequent updates. That just makes it even weirder?
It’s not an issue as such, it only takes a few seconds, it just seems weird. Since nothing is fixed. The latest updates mentioned on the steam page are more than a year old.
I used the proton version earlier, that’s how I found out about the graphics issue. But for some reason my proton version began to stutter? So I went back to native Linux.
Yeah this is shadercache
Yes it is shadercache as you wrote.
But just to prove I’m not totally crazy, I included an image showing it only says “Updating” above the progress bar. Which is why I thought it was the game that was updating.
But hovering the (i) it says “shader pre-caching update.”
Then there’s the question why it needs to update shader cache nearly every time I’ve played the game?
What is the purpose of the numerous updates, that as far as I can tell do nothing?
Native borderlands 2 looks and runs like ass in my experience. The game was basically unrecognizable until I ran it in proton.
Funny, it always ran fine here? I just used the Proton version to get shift keys.
If it wasn’t for the Proton stuttering I would have stayed on that, IDK what causes this, but it’s not just Borderlands 2, I think it’s a problem in Steam, maybe because of my about 12 year old backed up steam folder that has somehow folded to old age? I’m planning on installing a new system soon, and when I do, I’ll only be copying over saved games data, and reinstall everything.
