I agree i think the point is they sold me a game and at no point did they tell me "we are selling you this game for 6 months"

I don't have the game 'cos I never played Fallout except Fallout 1, but that gotta hurt some people who use mods for this game, which I guess are many. I also guess there are mods on consoles for Fallout, like in Skyrim....

Enshrouded uses Vulkan, so yes, Steam will download shader pre-caching updates for it when there are some. It's nothing new. Steam simply added/improved their UI to show what game updates consist of.. since now Steam Deck is a thing.
Is there a reason it can't work with direct x or is it just the works already done with vulkan because of steam deck/proton? Be nice if they could push it out for windows/dx if there's no other technical reason.
The work they've done with Fossilize and for Proton and the Steam Deck is a large part of why they're doing it. However it also works on Windows with certain games which use Vulkan or OpenGL. They're able to more easily do this with how the APIs handle support for plugins. DirectX has no such layering support built into it by default and would need to be hacked, triggering anti cheat systems.. so that's why they haven't implemented any support for DX12 shader pre-caching as far as I can tell. Microsoft would have to (and they could) build the functionality into the API.. but I've asked the DX team about it and outside of stating that they're aware of it and are working on ways to fix PSO stuttering for the future.. they've got nothing to announce at the moment.. so we basically just have to wait.
This will likely exacerbate the problem of some developers choosing to keep their games in Early Access indefinitely. If a game is sufficiently feature-complete and content-complete to be a minimum viable product, and does not have excessive bugs or performance issues, then developers should declare it to have reached 1.0.0 and end Early Access. If it doesn't meet that criteria, then it's effectively a paid demo and there should be no restrictions on refunds.new refund policy update. Many users played early access games, which didnt have the 2 hours of gameplay limitation, and then asked for a refund when they completed a certain early access game.

This is about "Advanced Access", not "Early Access". Advanced Access is game that aren't presented as EA but which are available to play before the official launch date. If a game launches on the 1st May, and you buy it on or after the 1st of May, you have a two hour window to decide if you want a refund or not. However, AA allows you to access that game a few days before hand. Now you can play the game from maybe the 27th April, play if for 100 hours, then one hour after it releases on 1st of May, ask for a refund. That's ludicrous! This moves the measure of the two hour refund window from two hours play after release time to two hours play ever.
There should be the two hour refunds window, as there is. If you buy an EA game, you know what you are getting. You've two hours play time, 14 days installation time, to decide if it's going anywhere. If you accept the game after that, if it doesn't ever finish, that's on you. This change in policy doesn't affect Early Access at all.
