Right or wrong I have to say that there has been so much trouble with the games the last few months.High pings, etc.It really doesn't seem worth it to have STEAM. I can get much better gaming by just buying the game and going with it's multiplayer, etc. What is STEAM but some leach with ADS? Join me, brothers. Cut the cord. Make the market perform.

Now while I have saved alot of money on steam sales and specials, It infuriates me to no end that I have to have an interent connection to access downloaded content,IE Maseffect,Dragon Age in a game that I own and that it can turn into a gamestopper. But that's just me whining. I havn't noticed any lag as of late and am on Steam just about every day. I still have games I havn't played yet that I purchased months ago as part of those MASSIVE specials they had. Dammit I'm rambling,,,,need more wine!

Why do you make another thread about this issue? (This is like the 5th IIRC) And every time everyone tries to explain to you that Steam has absolutely no impact on the performance on a game's multiplayer. Einstein once said that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result. And by that definition I would call you insane. By the way don't you think there would be more threads about this issue if Steam was really at fault, I guarantee everyone on this forum uses it.

I swear, a good majority of complaints I see people have about Steam, are user error.

Steam takes the same amount of memory as Internet Explorer running in the background. If that causes high ping you have problems.

They should do an evaluation on people before they are allowed to use Steam, that would stop most of this nonsense.

Can somebody explain to me exactly how a matchmaking service affects the performance of a game running on a dedicated server?

I was about to say the same thing.... When anybody tries to help him, he just ignores and keeps on blaming STEAM. As for the poster: have you tried installing Steam at a friends house? on another completely different PC? so you can finally see it's ur PC/house with the issue?
