Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Some Proton game shaders keep being re-downloaded eventually (even without updates to kernel or graphic drivers). I've noticed this issue in titles such as Mortal Kombat 11 and Spyro Reignted Trilogy

Hello @ranplayer, this issue is already being tracked at #6299. In particular to that issue report, if the size of the shader cache download is changing each time, then this is the current, expected behavior for Steam's shader pre-cache. Shader pre-cache updates (server-side) are independent from (local) video driver updates.

Closing in favor of the older issue report.
