Frequent Downloads
Does anyone know why Valheim is doing fairly frequent downloads, with no information? They are usually in the 2-5 MB size, have no description, no update notes, etc. I'm probably getting them several times a week, when other games download updates (but theirs have notes about what it is, or say that it's Workshop content).

We know it is annoying. The downloads are caused by a Steam setting called 'Shader Pre-Caching' and this has nothing to do with Iron Gate or Valheim in general.
Please refrain from creating new threads on the topic matter!
These small updates are pre-compiled GPU Shader downloads. Shaders help Vulkan and OpenGL games to load faster and improve framerate stability during gameplay.
If you wish to disable this option, just disable Shader Pre-Caching here:
Steam > Settings > Shader Pre-Caching
