Updates every day

[Naemen]

I've had SOMA installed for a couple of months now, and it updates itself EVERY SINGLE DAY ever since the "Simplified Chinese" update came. The update is about 76kb big and it doesn't say what kind of update it is. I've set the game to "Update on launch" but the game downloads it anyway.

Workshop related.
Check your subscribed mods.

I had same thing in few games that have Steam Workshop support. It 100% always was caused by at least one of my subscribed mods.

Subscribed mods where? I don't know anything about Workshop and I've never used it :s

I didn't follow any mods from SOMA, couldn't find any on my list anyhow. Those I (unintentionally) followed have all been deleted, and yet the game updates..

perhaps try steam -> settings -> downloads -> clean download cache

might also try running steam with admin permission - maybe does not have permission to write to disk

Could also be Shader cache updates, if you have Shader Pre-Caching enabled.

I also constantly see smaller updates - mostly only a few kb in size.
That just had 5 kb - and I don't have any mods installed.
But that also happens with other games - so it doesn't seem like anything unusual...

When I hovered over the update today it said "shader-something" and "game content" :S

Cleaning the download cache didn't work, the game keeps updating anyway.

That's exactly what it's doing. Shaders. Your pc must be deleting them for them to be recached constantly.

I managed to find what it was installing and it was partially shaders, but also mods. Every update was a different size, just random size, not escalating with time so if that was the case, my computer would be very specific with what it deleted. I'm still not following anyone or anything on Workshop.
I've finished the game now and uninstalled it, so problem solved temporarily. Let's just hope no-one else has experience this. Very good game otherwise! :)
