Hello @koreanfan, Steam's shader pre-caching system doesn't know in advance what API individual games will use from one run to the next. This is not a bug in Dota 2.

This would fall under the request to control Steam's shader pre-cache on a per-game basis which is being tracked at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/6486. Closing as a duplicate.
