Steam is a cloud-based service at its heart, and as such, it operates multiple servers across the world. Steam lets you pick a server of your choice for playing games, but by default, it allocates your connection to the server that is closest to your geographical location. However, a slow connection might come from connecting to a server that is far from your current location, resulting in slower downloads. The best way forward is to manually change the server for game assets to download at a quicker pace. You can do so by following these steps:
- Open the Steam app on your PC.
- In the top right corner of the window, click on Steam.
- In the Steam dropdown, select Settings.
- On the Settings page, click on the arrow corresponding to the “Download Region” option.
- In the dropdown, pick a server that is nearest to your current location.
Changing the Steam server may, or may not, immediately solve the slow download — it also depends on traffic levels on each server. Depending on the congestion levels, you may have to try a few other servers in your proximity to find the one that offers the best download speeds. Once the download is finished, you can change the server location to find a suitable player pool for grinding in multiplayer games.
