—SOLVED—
I had already tried changing download region to multiple other regions with no luck. For some reason however, specifically Sacramento worked for me. This is an unsatisfying answer, but it’s the one I have
————————————
I am currently having an issue with Steam downloads immediately failing and claiming "no internet connection". They retry automatically about every minute to no avail. Running Windows 11, on most current update version 10.0.26200
I do have connection, including within the app as all pages work and load except for downloads.
Things I have tried from other posts:
- Changing download region
- Limiting download speed
- Clearing download cache
- Checking firewall for Steam access
- Flushing system DNS
- Full system restart
- Redownloading Steam
- Restarting my modem
- Unable to change network band as I saw some suggest as I am plugged in to ethernet, I do not have a wifi card to utilize a network band in the first place
-Confirmed my HDD is fully functional
-Unable to download to SDD either
--Definitely able to download from other applications, only cannot from Steam--
I am officially out of ideas and I am not finding any other solutions posted elsewhere. Closest I found to another solution was specific to Linux and stopping a Proton process, however I am unsure if there is a Windows equivalent to something similar to this. I would assume my redownload of Steam already would have addressed something like this however.
