IMHO, currently it is not really annoying and is NOT causing any problems at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling them. I think there might be a 5th one that creeps into the list. Amnesia, Doom Eternal, Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition and Tales of Maj'eyal. I have around 4 games that seem to have these updates once a day when Steam starts. Digging into the Steam logs it does seem like it is shader updates, but it's not reporting it in the UI properly. I would say it's Shader Cache, but I've seen other games that have shader cache updates actuall put a notification icon saying it's exactly that, these don't. I posted about it in the general steam forum. But, until or if I hear what it really is, I'll stick to my pigs swill guess! Doesn't bother me in the slightest. Of course, I could be talking pigs swill and my guess work is totally wrong. It's harmless - at least it has been so far.!!! Mostly guess work, but that's all I can think of. to be instantly recognized, but a few don't have that? (I mean some kind of hidden index for every file) Or each file should have some code on it from the dev. Clearly Steam have added some kind of "file checker," on start up, but it's so fast it makes a few mistakes. Pure speculation.īottom line is it all happens in a matter of just 2 or 3 seconds and causes no harm. However I don't know if it cancels for all, or a few. My internet is fast, but not THAT fast! I suppose it begins then notices the file is in fact NOT missing so cancels. The downloads page shows as downloaded xx MB for each game, but there is no way it could down load roughly 2 or 4 MB per game, including the initial flash check in 2 seconds. Not sure if it actually does download and over write the files because it is so quick, I mean just a few seconds for 10 games. I said the bit about very fast file verification on some games (or all?) because when I start up my Steam client, anything between 3 to over 10 game titles (just text of game title on right hand side) quickly flashes, one after the other, in the same color as when a game is installing, or downloading DLC. Some of those games indicate (for whatever reason) that a file or two is missing so it appears to redownload. I think, well I guess it's because of the update to Steam it quickly does a file check, a very basic one on installed games. Valheim "updates," the same 2MB everyday.
