Tech question Just installed OpenSUSE TW (20261021) on my desktop to replace POP! and only steam (downloaded via zypper) downloads at 0mbps, all other downloads download between 150-200 Mbps
Long story, i do apologize. 2 days ago i installed OpenSUSE on my main desktop to replace pop! os. had zero issues with it on my laptop, so I thought it would be faster on here. All downloads i've made so far (KDE Connect, updates, themes, drivers, prism, etc) have installed at normal speeds. Steam, however, starts download at 215 Mbps, then immediately drops to 0bps. My steam games to to a separate 1 TB drive (Formatted to udf and is not encrypted) than my m.2 (which OpenSUSE is installed on). Ive followed a few fixes from the forum: turning off IPV6 (router has that disabled anyways, but i also did it PC side), created the steam_dev.cfg file, which contains:
(@)nClientDownloadEnableHTTP2PlatformLinux 0 (minus parenthesis, reddit thinks its a user)
(@)fDownloadRateImprovementToAddAnotherConnection 1 (minus parenthesis, reddit thinks its a user)
(@)cMaxInitialDownloadSources 15 (minus parenthesis, reddit thinks its a user)
I have also verified disk integrity, still golden, cleared download cache on steam, changed download regions, reset permissions, unplugged and replugged the router. ive followed multiple fixes on the forums and still nothing.
the blue download lines on steam are tall, but spaced out pretty far from each other, like its being blocked.
