Shader Caches basically reduce the loading times of items within games, in this case it compiled the flags for the first time and the cache stores the data from that first compiling, why it's so big who can say, but they help most of the time. Doesn't affect quality, just loading time.

Hahah no, I'm just curious if it worked because damn it's really adding to my upload times. If there's no downside to getting rid of it, why is it even there, I wonder?

@Synthorange
As far as I can tell, no problems, I basically just deleted the cache from the SDK file which it chooses to upload, it doesn't even need it to run and it reduces the files size for all who download the mod. Are you having problems?

Heya did deleting that 87 meg shader cache file really work without any problems?

Rock on bro!

Holy Imperial shit, it worked! Thanks for helping me out mate, I can go on now lol. :D

hmmm.. that could be it, let me give it a try. Because I know it can work even without the shadercache because I've deleted it from the main steam game directory but haven't tried deleting the one from the SDK. Get back to you in a sec.

Dude I think I worked it out after you build go to your xcom2sdk mod folder and delete the ShaderCache, Not the project folder but the one you get if you browse local files on the sdk my path is(H:\SteamLibrary1\steamapps\common\XCOM 2 SDK\XComGame\Mods\JuggaloFacepaint\Content) just checked mine in game and it is working

@!DD! Dtgnoome
Thankyou

I feel your pain

Well you know how you would build the solution/test the code and it boots up the game, it's at that point which the SDK creates that stupidly large shadercache so I just skipped that step and went straight to upload, it worked for this mod so I tried to go back and do it for another Chaos Flag that I have ready... no such luck I'm afraid.

Hence why I'm scared to update the Compilation because I don't wanna make those people who are already subbed to it download >100mb just for flags.

Feel free to test it out and let me know how it goes for you, because this has brought my flag making to a halt lol, not fun.

Dude you mentioned a workaround. Details Please!
