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?
None of that ever happened
It was so fucking obvious, how he was paid by companies to do some arbitrary shit, and later there would be a stellar review of their products.
You had to be blind to not see it. It was hidden advertising, and it’s even illegal! But I think he changed his approach to make it BARELY legal now.
He has since apologized, made the victim whole (or as whole as can be)
Yeah after it became a scandal that hurt his business and reputation.
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.
Oh, does he still exist? I’ve blocked his channels, because he is simply not trustworthy. Everything he makes is at best infomercials. He’s a sellout.
Edit:
To those who downvote, really?
It’s been so obvious already years ago, that his reviews depend heavily on who advertises with him. He was also called out on it, and even ADMITTED it! (Apologized) Then said he would be more open in the future. Note he didn’t say he would change, only that he would hide it less! Fool me once…
Also the incident where he was a total asshole to a small cooler developer, and used the prototype wrongly, then wouldn’t deliver it back, despite that was the agreement, and it was a pretty expensive prototype to make for a small company, and then he auctioned it away!
He was revealed to have behaved like an asshole all the way. But go ahead and support him if you want.
So it’s an outdated build, yet it gets frequent updates.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.
What is the purpose of the numerous updates, that as far as I can tell do nothing?
With Skyrim you just use Steam to install SKSE, then go to the workshop and download the mods you want. and Steam will do the rest for you.
It’s nice to see that Linux is doing well on Steam.
But with Steam deck being pretty successful, and showing that gaming on Linux is viable now, I kind of hoped for more.
But as the AMD numbers showed for years after Ryzen came out, the inertia in the market is huge. And change takes time.
Nope, it only helps to not increase it further.
