Steam Connection lost.

[Kermit]

Heya, So lately i've had alot of Steam connection losses, but only on this specific laptop. Steam starts out letting me play master sword for around an hour, afterwise I begin getting alot of steam connection losses. And they arent dissapearing.
Is there any way to fix this, It's making it no fun at all to play MS:C On this laptop.
I hope for help, thanks

It happens to me sometimes :| Once I restart Steam then the problem seems to go away, so try that.

Does that laptop have a single core processor firaza? There's been some problems in the steam client and the overlay that can cause it to freeze on single core processors, when playing a game, causing those disconnect errors and other problems.

well Its not only occuring now. It happens each time i'm playing on this laptop, so I dont think restarting steam would help.

Yeah, Its not the most powerfull laptop, it got a single core processor. So is it possible to fix it?

Try running steam and the overlay at a higher priority then the game, eg. above normal for the steam client and overlay and normal for the game, works usually for me, I have a single core too. only downside is that the client and overlay can make your game a tad laggy from time to time, especially if you have a lot of stuff open in the overlay.

If you don't use the in-game community, right click Steam Icon->Settings->[In-Game Tab] and uncheck "Enable Community In-Game."

You can also bump the priority of steam.exe to "above normal" via task manager - that'll make sure steam.exe doesn't get killed by the MASSIVE CPUZ MSC eats.

Steam and the overlay have a tendency to freeze for a little bit, 5-10 seconds or more, when it has no free cpu cycles to work with, the bug is present mostly in the new steam ui, didn't really get in the previous ui. usually setting steam to a higher priority will help to some degree, but might not get rid of all of the freezing.
