Every day NMS has to update. Is this because I run it on Linux or is it just how NMS is? Today it was a 4,6 GB update

Since I've switched to linux, a lot of games have been starting doing shader pre-caching updates regularly. Might be that.

For me, the Vulcan shader pre-caching is different. It is a pop up with a percentage indicator. This is a regular steam update like it used to be on windows.

I get those popups too at times, but they are not what I am referring to. The shader pre-chaching updates I mentioned work in the same way you described your phenomenon, through the regular update menu.

Interesting. I get the vulcan shader render popups every single time, on all games. But only NMS will dowonload updates like this through steam

Sometimes you see a little (i) icon besides the download item. If you hover over it you can see what Steam downloads
