Weird Shaders issue, weird solution .. (vids)

Over the last couple of weeks I used an EncShade profile and it worked perfectly on both of my pc’s.

Yesterday my left view pc looked like it had returned to the default Shaders. The ShadersHLSL folder existed of the modified shader files which were exactly the same as the one on my server.

So I deleted the Shaders cache and un-reinstalled the P3D Client. Started up P3D on both  pc’s and there were the default Shaders.

So, this was my starting point. I installed EnvDir + EnvShade on my left view pc too. Then I installed the same profile on both pc’s

Again the client looked like default shaders. I deleted the Shaders cache on the client and copied the Shaders cache folder from my server to client. So extra beside the copied ShadersHLSL folder.

Restarted P3D on the client and :

 

Now they look the same. 

The weird thing is why, with a modified ShadersHLSL folder on the client ( same as the server ) and a deleted Shaders cache folder, the client builds a default Shaders cache folder instead of a modified cache folder ?

It only started working when I copied the servers Shaders cache folder to the client.

And both ShadersHLSL folders are exactly the same on both pc’s..

And what caused this as it worked normally for several weeks ?
