Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

CS2 gets shader pre-caching updates daily, sometimes even more than once per day. The updates are around 2.5GB most times. I find it hard to believe that there are actual shader updates being pushed out more than once per day, especially ones of this size. This has been happening for months.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Download the game
  2. Run the game
  3. A shader pre-caching update starts
