Complaint about STEAM

I used to be able to play both COD games. WAW and MW. Not now. The ping is so high it is rediculus. I have gotten the latest patch for WAW and STEAM says it is not a mod they would handle. They don't "handle" anything below that either. They don't seem to be handling anything.

Dont say anything bad about steam on these forums, or any dislikes for pc gaming, pc gaming is only to be worshiped here. You will be flamed.

COD WAW And MW (the first not the second)do not use the steam servers (VAC), so steam has nothing to do with the games ping. Maybe its your connection and you have to dl the patchs through steam, and they should be set to auto-update.

If you manually patched WaW that is probably your problem. MW2 on the other hand is just inherently laggy. try reinstalling.

It's probably a problem on your end if your ping so suddenly got worse. Also do not try patching your games, Steam does all of that automatically for 99.9% of the games.

Thanks to all for your advice. I knew in the end it would be construed as being my fault.............Before I ever downloaded the patch the game went "high ping" on me. STEAM did not prevent that by keeping up the updates. I will dig up the game and use it to play multiplayer instead of STEAM. Sad though. STEAM should keep it's promises.
