The problem: when I am downloading anything with Steam, no matter where I am or what I am connected to, it pauses the download after a few seconds.

Behavior:

May 09, 2017  PC runs games smoothly, then frame rate drops drastically. The CPU usage will vary from anywhere between 20% to 90% and it keeps jumping back and forth.

Speed tests are a very rough estimate - they mean very little with regards to streaming Just because a speed test says you have 5Mb/s upload doesn't mean you can upload to anything at a stable 5Mb/s. That's just not how the internet works unfortunately. Solved My FPS keeps dropping to 10 when playing/using heavy games/software on battery solution Solved Lenovo Y510p FPS drops/CPU usage spikes.

  • Select item to download
  • Navigate to library -> downloads
  • [probz] Game is displayed 'downloading', network speed listed, etc (normal behavior)
  • [see Picture 1 below]
  • After a few seconds, game stops downloading
  • Game is now listed as 'update required (not queued)'
  • [see Picture 2 below]
  • Click 'move to top of queue'
  • goto [probz]

Picture 2

I can workaround this by babysitting the 'move to top of queue' button but for large games this isn't practical.

Things I have tried:

  • Wired connection
  • Using a different network (many, many different networks)
  • Changing Steam download server/location
  • Reinstalling Steam
  • Deleting tons of Steam files and redownloading them
  • Freeing up disk space
  • Changing download speed/limit on Steam
  • Stopping background programs/other internet accessors
  • Adding '-tcp' flag to Steam launch options
  • Running as administrator
  • Crying

This is a problem I've been having for some time and have tried many solutions (see above). I'd love to see a definitive solution to it, especially since I pretty much can't play any game > 1 gb.

OS: Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit

System: Lenovo T420 (laptop), Intel i7-2620M, 8gb ram, NVIDIA NVS 4200M

Connection: Up to 45 mpbs AT&T UVerse (usually clocks in at around 30-something)

EDIT: I would like to note that I used to work in CS (see my Stack Overflow profile), so I do know how to do things like 'make sure your internet connection works', 'don't let other programs hog bandwidth', and 'disable background processes'. Because my internet connection works perfectly for everything else I do, including high-bandwith activities (gaming, netflix, other downloading) I would guess that it is not the problem. Especially since I can workaround through queue babysitting (see above). The ONLY problem I have is with Steam, and ONLY when downloading new games.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

Try disabling ANY processes that might interfere with your downloading (I fixed mine by disabling Skype). You can find the processes here: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9828-SFLZ-9289 Let me know if this helped!

Have you tried changing the download restrictions Steam asks you for when changing the download region?

You can get there by clicking Steam --> Settings --> Downloads

PatchDownload

When you change your region, you should be prompted to change your download speed (Modem towards faster speed, Dial-Up towards slower.

Could be the issue you're having. I have had this issue previously, but by changing my download speed to No limit (despite having an average 2mb/s), it helped fix it.

I would daresay this though; it seems plenty of others are having the same issues as you have as well, albeit for different reasons.

Hey guys,

I have had this FPS issue for about a month (up until then, I would get 200 FPS constantly). I'm wondering if anyone here can shed some light - It's stopping me from playing the game.

I load games up and they start with 180-200 FPS. When minions spawn, it drops to 130 FPS, then keeps dropping each teamfight until it's about 15 FPS late-game and is completely unplayable.

I have done research and apparently it's something to do with either my CPU throttling itself, or assets not loading and the game having to download them from the server. But I have no idea how to fix it. My temps don't look off when looking at CPU-Z while running the game, and the system monitor shows that only 15% of the CPU is being used during the game anyway...

I've tried:

  • turning all graphics to lowest (zero effect)

  • disabling sound

  • setting core affinity to a single core

  • setting priority to high

  • reinstalling LoL (including reinstalling a version of LoL without Pando Media Booster)

  • updating graphics and chipset drivers

  • rolling back drivers to multiple different old versions

  • changing all setting in AMD Radeon Global settings

  • overclocking my CPU

  • playing borderless, windowed, or fullscreen at all different resolutions

  • using integrated graphics

  • following all other steps in Riot's FPS Troubleshooting guide

I even reinstalled Windows, to no effect. I still get good frames in CSGO and Overwatch so it's a LoL-specific problem. It's driving me crazy, please help! Thank you.
