Valve, please, update/upgrade 'Update' and 'Dowload Manager'

[Geff Luca]

Please, Valve, with all money and people you have, give an upgrade/update to the Steam Download and Updater managers. Everything sucks. How it can take 3 days to update games on a SSD? Hours after finishing the download, installing gets stuck, and then it starts to download again? Please, there are a lot of packages out there that could help with data transfer....

Sounds like an issue either on your end. Or in the way the dev/pub designed the update.
Also they just upgraded it a few months ago.

I can't replicate this. I got a new laptop a few weeks ago, downloaded and installed around 250 games without issue. Heck, I just downloaded and installed a 30GB game without issue.

You might want to check what is interfering on your computer. Or reset your router. Or check whether the ISP is having issues.

An 'update' does not mean that it is for better. It is common that software updates are actually downgrades. Changes were made are more fancy than optimisations. I use different operational systems, and these problems happens in them. Also, issues are randomly in time, but not in some games, though , like Apex Legends, Splitgate, CS:GO, MGSV, etc.

Now, I understand that having a new OS or computer, everything should work fine during install. But that is not fair, I do not want to erase everything to install all games again, so that I will not have problems, it is just an upgrade/update to the game that I want.... I really do not known...

Optimizations for what? To what end?

Which says its more about how the dev set up the update.

I haven't done a reset since like 2018 and my system is doing fine. So age of the system has little to do with it.

This is so true, even with Steam itself. Its update two years back introduced a bunch of bloat.

To make things run more efficiently. By definition, lol.
