[2022] Is something wrong with the network?

Hmm, so we haven’t made any recent network changes.

These are our usual ‘go to’ suggestions for high ping/latency:

• Ensure your ‘Download Region’ in the Steam client is set appropriately to a nearby location by:

1. Open the Steam client
2. Select ‘Steam’ in the upper left-hand corner
3. Select ‘Settings’
4. Select ‘Downloads’ within the sidebar
5. Set your ‘Download Region’ to an appropriate nearby location and save the changes

• Please check you have the latest updates to the Steam client installed.

• Are you playing with mods enabled? If so, see if your issues persist with mods disabled.

• Within the ‘Network’ panel, enable the ‘Small Network Packets’ option and see if there’s any improvement.

• Within the ‘Network’ panel, ensure your ‘Max Upload Speed’ is set appropriately to reflect your actual upload speed
