Awful download speed.[SOLVED]

[Han]

Hi there everyone, recently i bought Ffxiv on Steam and now i'm trying to download it, but the thing is, it's painfully slow. I'm downloading with 0.63mb/s ;-; , do you have any solution?

After a day later i found the solution on Reddit by "McNammys"

In command prompt as administrator, type in: netsh interface tcp show global

See if it's disabled, and then if it is, type: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

my speed is full now!

Its still an issue on their side :) , 99% ISP thats some genius talk.

Ah yes, because you editing settings in your computer accesses the server and alters the client somehow.

i mean it does...... the client didnt like the OG settings so you have to change them in most cases.... imagine not knowing anything basic about computers... but trying to be smart on steam....

From my research, it's OS related. Older routers or older firewall software might have some issues with it enabled, but they would have to pretty old i am guessing.

Leave it at normal unless you experience issues.

The Receive Window Auto-Tuning feature lets the operating system continually monitor routing conditions such as bandwidth, network delay, and application delay. Therefore, the operating system can configure connections by scaling the TCP receive window to maximize the network performance. To determine the optimal receive window size, the Receive Window Auto-Tuning feature measures the products that delay bandwidth and the application retrieve rates. Then, the Receive Window Auto-Tuning feature adapts the receive window size of the ongoing transmission to take advantage of any unused bandwidth.

Didn't work for me. Mine was already set to normal.

TCP Global Parameters

Receive-Side Scaling State : enabled
Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level : normal
Add-On Congestion Control Provider : default
ECN Capability : disabled

Proportional Rate Reduction : enabled
Pacing Profile : off

It's not unique to this though and not unique to Steam. BNet downloaded WoW at the same speed.

My speed test is much higher. It can't be a bottleneck with hardware. Otherwise, the speedtest would be low as well. Somewhere on my PC, the download speeds from these clients is throttled.

Probably not even allowed to mention it. but the *other* launcher that is possibly provided by the community may possibly provide significantly faster downloads if one was to -hypothetically- download it. which you *shouldn't*

I wonder if it works on other games .__. This is lit as fk

CONFIRMED: Still works! Be sure to close out Launcher and relog.

what exactly does this do though? it definitely fixed the issue, but what is it lol

[HandyGold75]

For once it wasn't DNS
