⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community-approved with 284 endorsements and over 73k downloads—clearly works for a lot of people
- Targets the exact caches that cause stutters and black textures, so it's a direct fix for common issues
- Lightweight utility that does one job well—no bloat, just clears the cache
👎 Cons
- No install instructions provided by the author—you're on your own for setup
- Last updated April 2026—might not cover future game updates that add new cache types
- Clearing shader cache means the game will rebuild it, so expect a one-time performance hit after running
