Valve has a new feature aimed at users with bandwidth caps. The update downloading behavior of Steam can now be configured on a game-by-game basis.
Valve is back with another feature update for its PC gaming store and client Steam. This time, It is adding granular settings for users to choose when and how exactly can games download updates. This is part of the brand-new Steam Client Beta update that went live today.
Currently in the live build, Steam will measure users’ previous interactions with games to judge whether a brand-new updates needs immediate downloading, or keep it for later. There are existing options to set download times and speed limits, but Valve says these have not been deemed enough:
«While this default behavior works in most cases, there are times when you need more control of when updates are applied.
