Steam Rate Minder is a simple application to change your Steam rate without changing your game rate.
Rate Minder works by monitoring your in-game rate and the Steam rate, and whenever Steam Rate gets changed (by your game rate settings) it updates the game rate and the Steam rate as well.
You can set the Steam rate manually, and it will also update the game rate, or you can lock the game rate at the value of the Steam rate, and it will update the game rate.
The latter is useful because it allows you to adjust the Steam rate before the server has a chance to change it back.
To run the program, make sure you have Steam and Rate Minder installed.
- Launch Rate Minder
- In the Settings window select Edit current rate, and set the new rate.
- Select Lock current rate, and this will hold your new Steam Rate while you're playing.
- You can hover over the icon to tell you the current rate.
- Rate Minder is a simple program so it's easy to configure.
- Some common problems and potential solutions are listed in the Help section.
Rate Minder History:
In early 2014, I created a little experiment to use to measure the effect of the Steam Rate setting.
I set my Steam Rate to something that was way too high (I think it was set to 5MBit which is only 256kb/s) and I set my game rate to 10Mbit, and then I played a bunch of games.
The problem was I was watching my Game list in the Steam client and I noticed that the server listings in the Steam client looked like they were choked at the rate I set in Steam (which was far higher than what they were actually running at). So I switched to some low rate games, and I'd connect and disconnect.
The only problem was that after I stopped playing that game, and went back to the Steam Client, the server listing on Steam was much, much faster.
I was pretty amazed at this, so I decided to look into the cause of this oddity.
After a while I figured out what was going on, so I wrote up a little experiment to measure this, and made it into an application.
I decided to make it into an application, and to make it easy to use, because I was going to play it every night while watching my Internet Connection (which is why I have the problem in the first place) a77f14ba26 javawen
