Extreme lag on every game?

Closed
Moondra

It's been really weird lately,when I'm playing ANY online Steam game,it has major lag like it would be frozen for like 30 seconds,work fine for a few more seconds,and then it freezes again. I also frequently go offline but only when I'm playing a game,when I'm not playing anything its fine the whole time. This is really starting to bug me,can anyone help?

Edit: Here is my SpeedTest,it says it's fine but still whenever I join a game,regardless of what it says in the server browser,the ping always goes up to a thousand.

Did you install the new Steam update by chance?

Yeah,I actually just got a new update. I just restarted Steam for it to take effect and I'm hoping that works

The new update caused something similar for me.
On one system I could not login since according to Steam there is no network connection.
On my main desktop nothing worked in Steam except the library and I kept getting disconnected when I tried to play Painkiller H&D in Co-Op and T2. In Left4Dead 2 I was unable to see any servers/games due to "Unknown Network Error".
I deleted the Steam firewall entry and re-added it and now I can check my profile and Store from within the client but I still have problems playing online games - small lag/network errors/disconnected etc.
