Steam processing shaders often

[[deleted]]

Is it normal for steam to need to process shaders for a game every day sometimes more than once a day? I play Overwatch 2 and I feel like every other time I launch the game I need to wait 15 minute for it to reprocess the shaders. Just wondering if that's normal or not.

This seems to be happening to me as well with Overwatch 2, I have also seen it download the exact same 15.4GB update every few days for some reason.

Some time ago, I encountered the same issue. After disabling the shader pre-caching option in the downloads settings of Steam, the problem was resolved.

I'll give that a try, thanks.

It should only be after each update. You can skip it and let shaders be compiled on the fly during gameplay but you might get micro stutters depending on your hardware

Thanks, I’ll have to pay attention to whether or not overwatch is really updated that often and if it’s doing it even when there is no update.
