Steam always using all my bandwidth while trying to play.

[your moms ass]

For some reason, At the start of the game or in the middle of a game Steam just decides to use all my bandwidth.

I'm not talking about Steam Client processes, the Steam process itself is using all my bandwidth.

I have broadcasting disabled, I have auto updates for games off including disabling downloads while in-game. Any ideas what could be the cause and or how to fix this?

look at your library and make sure nothing is being updated. Steam client currently has a many years old bug that hasn't been fixed yet where games will still be auto-updated regardless of the setting you have for updates.

I opened Steam and checked after getting disconnected for ping issues, Nothing was downloading.

I checked in Task Manager, Under the network section it showed Steam was using 0.6mbps (which is my entire connection, 3rd world problems amirite).

But anyway that's my entire bandwidth sucked up by Steam itself for no apparent reason.

i use low bandwidth mode, use small view mode not the large one and in the task manager steam uses 0 to 8kb when idle.

I caught it in action while again trying to play.

As you can see, It's completely starving CSGO from getting anything.

Also will look into trying low bandwidth mode and smallview, Thank you.

I would also contact support. That does not look right

I've tried doing so, however I couldn't find where to do this.
Mind giving me their support details? Thanks in advance.

Did you ever have a fix to this i currently have a similar issue and have tried everything i can online but i got nothing

[your moms ass]

I have found a temporary solution, which was to use a freeware that allowed me to limit network of certain apps. In this case I would limit steam to about 25% of my bandwidth and it seemed to fix the issue I had with CSGO specifically. I don't know what situation you're in bit in my case it was a problem where joining a match or being on the home page caused the Steam.exe to download some kind of news data?? And destroy my game session, so I would limit Steam's ability to do this and reserve as much as I could to CSGO. This worked for me, depending on your situation I might recommend something else. Anyway the app I used to do this is called "NetLimiter 4"
