chrisj1968 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) If you are like me you enjoy gaming. However, starting a few days ago, I was getting error messages that said Steam could not connect and check my internet yadda yadda right? here's a fix. Steam by default uses UDP so go to properties on your steam shortcut and put -tcp in the TARGET box so mine looks like: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -tcp restart Steam and you should be oolay goolay (sorry an old military term from my days meaning "good to go!")

Astra.Xtreme Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Good to know. I get those annoying error messages occasionally. Is there any trade-off of not using UDP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisj1968 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Doesn't seem to be. however, on system bootup, it gives me that error. I might have to see if I can add that -tcp part at startup or just shutdown the option to boot steam on system startup. But yes it definitely works just as well. Added: I couldn't find a way to mess with the bootup of my system so I just deactivated the start when system boots up, forcing me to start steam by my shortcut Edited February 25, 2015 by chrisj1968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
