Hello,
I recognized since a couple of days that my X4 installation on Steam receives a patch on a daily basis.
There are no new patch notes since the Linux patch, so is that something wrong in Steam or what is getting patched there?

Steam: Patching X4 daily

Re: Steam: Patching X4 daily
The "updates" are coming from Steam itself, not from us. They are apparently compiled "swarm" shader cache files, which we have no control over. We have asked them to look into not listing these files as updates to the game, because it's misleading.

Glad it's investigated - it's kinda irritating to see "update" every day or two.

So the Khaak are returning as Steam-Swarm
Thanks for the quick answers and the clarification!

Go to Settings down the bottom of the list is Shader Pre-Caching, untick the Enable options.
One of the things states on the Pre caching option is Steam downloads shader cache based on my computer capabilities. Is this the reason why I get worse image quality (AMD) even with all settings maxed out compared to some Nvidia GPUs? That is something discusses several times over the past year in the forums.
