Troubleshooting Network Connectivity Issues. Please follow the steps below to diagnose network connectivity issues within Steam: Check Steam Server Status.

If you encounter any timeout errors when attempting to access Steam sites, it is very likely that there is a system-wide issue and Steam will not be accessible until the issue is resolved.

Beyond speed tests: Steam performance | SamKnows Our Steam client mimics the behaviour of the real Steam client, by logging into the Steam network, retrieving its local Cell ID, and then looking up a list of available servers and chunks for the cell the user resides in.
