Valve has announced a tightening of Steam measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So, users will receive game updates later than before.
To distribute the peak load, the operation of the automatic updates system has been changed. Steam is now scheduling updates for games you haven't played in a few days for a "quiet" local time period. Updates will be installed immediately only for those games that have been launched in the last three days. As before, the product will be updated if you choose to launch it. You can also download the update manually in the "Download Management" section.
In addition, Valve recalled that Steam users themselves manage many functions. For example, create a list of auto-updates or stop updates for certain games, limit the download speed.
In addition to this, it turned out that in the last 48 hours, the record of Steam users has been broken again. Recall that Steam had over 22 million players online at one time. Now the maximum 23 users.
