Ability to download games at full speed.

[Smiley]

I think this problem is 7 years old, so happy birthday to it. Steam always has been pressing on the download speed for some reason. No, it's not my connection issue. No, it's not my disk or hardware issue. I've tried downloading other games on other platform and it works perfectly. Meanwhile, the downloading on Steam is so much slower than waiting for my grandma walking from Michigan to Texas alone. So, please remove this feature of yours, it's kinda useles, you know.

Good for you, this problem only occur on some people. Mine can barely run 5Mbps at stable speed on Steam but 100 Mbps on other platform xd

Try disabling write cache.

I don't know what "write cache" is. I don't know where it is located in Win10.

Edit: I found it

Doesn't work. But do you normally keep it disabled?

Then that would indicate it's a problem on your end, and not a Steam problem that could be resolved by Valve. Likewise, I have no issues with Steam downloads, and in fact, I have had Steam download faster than other sites on occasion.

If its slow its something on your end or somewhere between you and and your ISP. Valve is pretty much a city water main, while the connection you have to your ISP is a garden hose. Valve can saturate a multi gigabit fiber connection no problem.

Valve is not the one slowing things down. It could easily be your ISP or some where else in the pipeline. If you are downloading/watching streaming shows/youtube on your connection, it can show things down for Steam. If someone else on your connection is downloading/watching streaming shows/youtube.

I can download at over 40 megabytes per second. I can get that speed on Steam or from websites, if I try to download full speed from Steam and from some website that I know I can get that speed from, the 2 connections fight each other for that speed causing both to be slowed.

No idea how fast your connection is, but as I have said, I have seen Steam download to a persons PC at over 1 gigabyte a second. Most home connections are nothing for Steam to flood.

That sucks. But that might not actually be a Steam issue, mind.

Correlation does not imply causation.

Personally I reach full DL speed on Steam. The only service where it's wonky is PSN, but that's always been one that sucks.

ISP problem is actually interesting, but still, some of my acquaintances that use the same internet provider don't have this kind of problem. My end is out of question, because I recently replaced my SSD and the download speed doesn't change a bit.

It's been 3 years straight I have this problem. So, you should appreciate every moment you download your game with full speed. I'm very jealous of that.

3 years? Since the covid periods, basically?

Some ISPs back then throttled Steam and the like. Some never changed that. Might want to check in on that to be sure as well.

Not sure why I should appreciate something I pay for, though. ;)

It's not only me that have this kind of problem.

Well, you should be appreciate that because this problem is not fixable unless Steam would actually step up and fix this, but of course, I'm just complaining about a problem that I've had for a few years. The solution with these "solved" discussions are like "Welp, it's fixed now for some reason" . Guess I'm not so lucky like them lol

Edit: I mean, you'll never knew how some people feel when you're not on their spot.

Yes, people having issues with computer things isn't odd. Cause that's part of the PC market. All the different hardware/software configurations can cause issues now and then. Doesn't mean the issues are actually with Steam, usually that's just a symptom.

Most of such problems are related to OS, drivers, security programs and others causing small interferences, or ISPs being wonky. Which sucks because they're hard to troubleshoot because of it.

Correlation does not imply causation. People often forget that.

The way I see it is that people having problem with Steam is pretty normal. I mean, what happens on Steam stays on Steam. There's tons of issues that they just keep ignoring. This kind of mindset is like; If you get hit by a car in your house, it's your fault for sitting on your couch. I think people these days tend to think that anything is nonsense just because you never experienced it.

Funny, personally to me it looks like these days people don't take effort to find root problems and just blame whatever they can blame. Which is also why certain issues remain unsolved, cause they're looking in the wrong direction.

Every service has people experiencing issues. That's indeed nowadays just as normal as it was 30 years ago. But that still doesn't mean the issue is with the service.

As said, such issues stem from incompatibilities and interference and the like. Which is something people tend to overlook.

The few times I had connectivity issues to services in the past, for me they always got fixed by troubleshooting the networking drivers, security programs and the like.

Then again, when people start using analogies that make no sense, there is little to do to help people. So good luck, traveller.
