Valve P2P networking broken for more than 2 months
Key takeaways
- Since around the 13/03, there is a major systemic problem in every game that uses Steam Networking for P2P games.
- Since Street Fighter 6 supports cross-play we have tried playing PC to PS5 and the ping is a flawless 5-10ms.
- We are currently don't know what we can do with this issue since nothing we have done have helped and 120ms is too high for it to be playable in any P2P game.

Since around the 13/03, there is a major systemic problem in every game that uses Steam Networking for P2P games.
For example, in the game Street Fighter 6, when playing with one Israeli or another with PC to PC the ping between players are ~120ms. when playing with European players the ping is around 60-80ms which means it works well, it currently affects only Israeli players when playing PC to PC. Since Street Fighter 6 supports cross-play we have tried playing PC to PS5 and the ping is a flawless 5-10ms.
