I have been on the hunt for what exact shortcut the controller hides from us. But there is a steam menu (controllers, advance, show more, at the button) that shows them!

Quickly want to change your volume? Try steam key + left joystick!

Sadly you can not change anything here, altought the menu shows you you can, nothing will be saved after you leave a menu. (I'm not a fan to put the left mouse button on the right button)

A few of them I manually found before written out, also for the people without images:

hold A + R1 + Steam
To use Puck wireless mode right

hold A + L1 + Steam
Start Puck wireless mode left

hold B + R1 + Steam Start Bluetooth mode

When on (solid white)

Steam+Y Turn off quickly

Hol steam (10s) Turn off

Steam + left joystick up/down Change volume level

R4 + R5 + L4 + L5 + Steam Backpack mode (ignore buttons until this combo is used again or USB)

Steam + Right trackpad/joystick Mouse movement

Steam + X On screen keyboard

Steam + R1 Take screenshot

Steam + Menu ALT+TAB

Steam + D-pad right Enter key

I'm not really a gamer, so I'm just curious. I bought Borderlands 4 a few days ago and have been playing it on my Linux desktop every day since then, and every day I run it, it downloads another 2GB patch. Every. Day. I have to make sure I don't start it when anyone else wants to use the WAN, and I have to start it a half-hour before I want to play, and I'm just curious if this is normal? Is it Linux? Is it Borderlands? Is it Steam? I've read that you can't fully disable these updates under Steam, but you can if you buy through Gog; perhaps I made the wrong choice of platform.

I'm just a bit baffled at the idea that Borderlands is releasing a new 2GB patch (and it's never less than 2GB) every 8 hours, or that every patch is necessary. I also know that Borderlands 3 did not have updates this frequently on the PS3. But I accept that, perhaps, I have something set up wrong. As I said, I'm not really a gamer.

Is this par for the course, now?

Edit

It seems disabling the shader caching fixed it. The first time I ran it, it took a long time to get through "resurrecting", which is where it compiles shaders, but after that first time it doesn't take much longer to get to playable, and I haven't had it force download assets yet.

I see a couple of comments about the game itself being buggy. I'm several hours into the campaign (level 15) and haven't had any issues. I have problem with the Linux bluetooth stack glitching on the PS4 controller (kernel CRC errors from the driver) but I haven't had any crashes. I did encounter a glitch where a creature wasn't being rendered, but moving around brought it back and nothing yet has affected gameplay. I don't know if the creature glitch was related to disabling the cache, but... FWIW, the game seems to run as well as BL3 on my PS4.
