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?

But aren't those generated locally?

Nope they download some to reduce the time it takes to process the shaders. You only have to generate them locally if they don't have your hardware specs already built in their cache.

Thanks, live and learn. 😋

Shader cache updates usually have an extra icon next to them in the downloads list

Thanks, I'll definitely check for that next time.
