What's wrong with steam?

I get home today update steam as it does frequently and now it's laggy the pages of anything take forever to load and to type my problem is like I'm on an old computer built 20 years ago the lag is so bad. If I go to launch a game with workshop content like arma 3 and such the game will not launch and they crash out on me but everything else runs superb on my machine but steam is just broke for some reason on my end with really bad lag.

After the most recent update, Steam is very slow, even to start. Most of my games are classics like Bioshock, Duke Nukem 3d 20th, Dead Effect and as of today half of them will not even launch anymore. Everything worked fine before the update.

To make matters worse, today (specifically any time now or if it has already happened), Steam goes down for maintenance on Tuesdays.

So now is maybe not the most ideal time to be troubleshooting Steam issues. I suggest waiting a bit.

Delete the Web Browser Cache also.

Steam then settings then Web Browser. Allow the page to refresh. Then, test it again.

Issue's fixed on my end. All I did was wait it out. Went back online on my other computer and it's good, too.

Also, it was not an assumption based on 'no real data'; it was common bloody sense.
Everything but the Steam client was working perfectly on both of my computers, internet included. The Steam client did was lagging until I went offline with it, and did not lag until I allowed it to update. Games ran fine even during the laggy period as long as I was in Offline Mode.
Conclusion: The Steam client's connection to the internet was faulty, most likely caused by said update.
So while I might not understand what the exact issue was, don't assume that the conclusion was baseless.

Personally, I didn't see a reason to go into safe mode. The problem arose from the update on both of the computers, but didn't effect the performance of the computers, themselves, or even the games in my library after I went offline. It sounded like an issue that another update would be released to fix, so I was waiting for that. But if safe mode provides a fix for others, that's gravy.

Please understand, that we see that said here all the time. "Nothing has changed on my computer and my internet is fine". And in the end, that proved to be totally irrelevant in many/most cases.

Feel free to use the forum search and you can see for yourself if you wish. You It was asked "what's wrong with Steam" in the OP. I was attempting to try to help you figure that out and safe mode with networking was a method to do just that. But you refused to try that method, so that is what made me not understand why ask for help apparently, but not follow suggestions or methods that are given to provide such help.

At any rate, glad you seem all fixed up there and good luck to you always.

May I ask why you replied without providing the information that I requested above ?

No, that is irrelevant, how many games you have on your account.

Because, as I said, my system didn't change. I have always used the same setup (Windows 7 64bit + MSI B85-G43 GAMING). I did find the problem though. My "userdata" folder had huge files, amounting to 1.9GB. Now that I removed the "config" folder inside userdata, Steam uses just 60MB of RAM.

And I was talking about INSTALLED games, not how many games I have on my account. It seems it was somehow related to it. These huge files seem to have originated from those game pre-configuration Steam runs before executing them for the first time.

We see that said all the time here. And in many cases or most cases, something did change or there was no change and nothing changing is irrelevant. If it was the Steam update, then that new updated Steam can still be conflicting on the user's end with software possibly. New conflicts can come up and we see it here in this forum all the time.

I see one possible issue. ...

Do you have the Killer Network Access Manager software installed on the PC, since it is an MSI with a Killer device ?

Do you have all of these drivers fully up to date with the latest versions ? (click "driver" there and then select your Windows 7 64 bit in the drop menu)

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B85-G43-GAMING.html#down-driver

If you have the Killer Network Access Manager installed there, that process/program is a known issue with Steam. If you have it, it is recommended to have the latest Killer Driver ONLY and not the manager software installed.

Seen it many times and can link you the proof.

EDIT..Some of those device drivers are quite new. The Killer and the Chipset being from early this year even, which is very important given the age of that board.

EDIT 2...And even after all this information above, there are still other possibilities that we can explore to troubleshoot the problem. The most important thing is to not make any assumptions and just use a process of elimination to perhaps track down where any problems may be happening.

No, I don't have it installed.
Motherboard drivers are not updated, but the problem is fixed for now.
Thank you for making yourself available for help ;)

Sure, and I hope nothing I said seemed rude, but I was just trying to strongly make a point.

I highly suggest you look into making sure all drivers are up to date. You are ok now, but other issues can come up later relevant to this, and in any future cases, your system may not have changed either, but without updated drivers, that can possibly be the problem.

Just as an example. Good luck to you and if you need Steam help, we will try to assist here if we can. Thanks.
