Is respawn mining bitcoins on our computers?

@Srksii  From my understanding, game shaders are written in a code not understood by your GPU, so the shaders have to be recompiled to a code the GPU can understand.

"But why doesn't it just compile once and be done with it?"

- Because there's a cache limit on some hardware. When the game compiles the shaders, it usually stores it. For most systems, this is kept on the system and the game can later access the compiled shaders and load the game. But, if the cache is cleared, (saved, but then deleted), is partly missing, or it wasn't kept, (wasn't saved), the game will have to recompile the shaders when launched again.

I've had shaders recompile on my Switch and on my friend's Xbox and PlayStations. Sometimes my PC recompiles the shaders, but that's only after I've cleared the cache through programs like Disk Cleanup, as my system is able to store the shader cache.
