ISP issue clearly. Get a better ISP!

Yes, it's only slow on Steam.

I suspect that some ISPs oversell for the actual bandwidth they have available. To get around this, they might identify certain higher-impact traffic they think they can get away with throttling, and they'll throttle it. So if they've seen that traffic coming from Steam servers is using a lot of bandwidth, they may slow that traffic down so everyone else can watch their Tiktok videos uninterrupted. They'll leave speed test websites completely unthrottled so when you do a check, it appears that your Internet speeds are good.

To test this, try turning on a VPN. If your speed improves, then you know your ISP is artificially slowing down your Steam data. You might also try forcing a better DNS, as the one your ISP uses might be slow or even filtered.

Seems everyone has magic internet. On a 2 Gigabit internet connected to PC via Cat7 Ethernet cable, 4090, 9800X3D and the Steam client as a whole is a little choppy. Always has been across my various machines I've had through the years.

Steam needs to fix their servers. I'm in a 1st world country, surely the servers can be better here.

No, using standard "run-of-the-mill" local LAN ISP here. Nothing magical.

(They did move to optics instead of direct, lamp post dangling LAN wires/cables recently though.)

Strange. Do you have 2000 games present or something?

Why did you hide your Profile stas all of a sudden!?

This is not right. Do not know about you but I do not want to communicate with random, unknown persons on this forum or any other Internet forum for that matter.

Please have the courtesy to at least show us your nickname! If not, kindly GTFOH.
(You can hide the rest - do not know if it is possible?)

There's something happening while browsing screenshots from games in store.
When I click screenshot the current screenshot loads, but at the same time next screenshot is being loaded in the background, but when I go to the next screenshot it's not showing up immediately.
Also those screenshots take up to 8 seconds to load or just get stuck at pending (dev tools->network).
They are hosted on some CDN service called Fastly.

Is GPU accelerated rendering in web views (in Steam, under Settings, then Interface) on or off?

I would not ever do that. :)

No, actually you do not. This is a public forum, not a private one.
If you cannot disclose your nickname, you do not belong here.
You are not welcome here!!

if you have another, more private place where random people post without disclosing anything, kindly go there and take part there, not here.

People are allowed to make their profile name nothing. It isn't relevant to anything at all.

:nkCool:

Really?! OKay, I will bite. :)

Can you quote the nicknames of 3-4 regulars that post here with Private profile ON? :)
No? Thought so. :)

I do not know you, dear sir! Who are you?

Sorry but I dare not talk to strangers. :)

Right, but your nickname is all there, it was not removed. :)
So, not the same case.

Profile privacy has nothing to do with a blank name as a profile name.

Third world connection here: Servers works fine for me... also no problems on my good ol' Core i5

Do you have like 2000+ games present or something?

That would probably explain why Steam is "choppy" for you.

EDIT: Good riddance. :) Nice work, mods - thanks, but still I believe a little too extreme measures here - you guys deleted ALL posts of that random noname person in this thread?

Definitely unexpected!
I guess he/she brutally "crossed the line" in another forum section or sections?

Upgrade servers/hosting?
Every sale we get same picture - site is slow as tortoise and images are missing

The images and videos in store load slowly, it's been like that for a while already, so it's not only the sale.

if you want it faster. donate or purchase them a new server to your liking.
