I found that setting it back to normal again along with the Windows delivery optimisations jumped my speed up from 30 to 300 MBps again. I don’t recall changing mine from default but it appears I had got this set to disabled. In this suggestion it mentions disabling a certain parameter.

I’m assuming this works a bit like torrents with portions of the files being downloaded from a multitude of PC’s on the net.Īlso in one of the official MS posts on download problems it mentions a command prompt command that might help. Since MSFS is a Windows app it seems to benefit from the Windows delivery optimisation settings being enabled.
Steam store running slow full#
I googled some previous suggestions on slow speeds and with a bit of tweaking I got my connection back up to full speed.
I started the download and it was pretty slow at between 5 and 30Mbps, left it running while I cooked my dinner and checked again about an hour later to find it had only managed about 4%. I just assumed it was either the servers being overloaded or maybe my ISP was throttling certain types of traffic, I did contact them and they denied any throttling.įor SU5 I decided to see what I was getting and if it was still slow see if I could do anything about it. It’s been like that on all the updates (world and sim) since then. However sometime around SU3 I was suddenly getting around 10-30 MBps even though my speed was testing out ok on several different test sites. Subsequent updates all downloaded very quickly and in line with my expectations of a 300MBps connection. I managed to download the whole installation in about 2 hours with the max speed shown on some of the larger files at over 250MBps. I originally downloaded the game on the first day of it’s release in August 2020. I live in the UK and am lucky enough to have a Virgin Media cable connection of 300MBps Down/ 30Mbps Up. I’ve posted some of this this in a few threads since the SU5 update.
Steam store running slow install#
Install your most frequently played games to the SSD for maximum speed and your less frequently played ones to the slower drive to save SSD space.I have a few suggestions for people to try that will hopefully at least help some people to get download speeds improved. This means that you can set up a Steam library folder on an SSD and one on your larger regular drive. Steam also allows you to configure multiple game library folders.
You can then launch the Steam.exe program as if you had never moved Steam’s files. Just move it like you would any other folder. Steam allows you to move your Steam folder-which is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam by default-to another hard drive. One way to speed up all your games-and Steam itself-is by getting a solid-state drive (SSD) and installing Steam to it. RELATED: What Is a Solid State Drive (SSD), and Do I Need One? Steam still provides a page that shows you the amount of download activity happening in different regions, including statistics about the difference in download speeds in different US states, but this information isn’t as useful.
Steam once provided information about content server load, which allowed you to select a regional server that wasn’t under high-load, but this information is no longer available.
