Doesn't really affect my point, because I was talking about the standard procedure that should have been done since forever by GPU vendors, how can something as obvious and frequent as this get past their internal testing, yes shader cache glitches don't happen only to dolphin, it's the big industry that's lacking in some areas and it's sort of their responsibility and they should have explained through the developer channels it would also reach wider familiarity and thus into dolphin. I did mean for all such (shader) caches, the dolphins and the drivers. I do this every time, oh, I just happen to not update the driver every week, I do it manually a couple of times a year, zero problems. Unless someone's trying to purposelly beta-test the newest and latest, which is what this thread is not about, it looks like a standard user support question.
So if it was Dolphin's cache fault this time, a simple driver version check could be implemented at boot, if it's different than last boot, cleans out all the shaders.
What you suggest should NEVER happen. I'm going to say it once more: You have 0 idea what you are talking about. I have never had any issue with Shadercaches.... ever... My gaming laptop hasn't been reinstalled since 2013 and my desktop since I got it last year and I keep them both completely up to date.
You seem to like very radical solutions to relative small problems, before you say anything again please find out if it can be done in a simpler way. OR if Dolphin is already doing what you are suggesting, since you seem to have some very rudimentary understanding of coding, it might become time to actually read the source code, and if you see something that can be improved, MAKE A PR AND CHANGE IT.
Dolphin already invalidates the shader cache every update of drivers anyway since the UID's will be different (or at least used to) and it used to do it every update of Dolphin as well but that got changed because Dolphin now has a transferable shadercache.
