Valve fixes Steam local network game transfers

adrenaline.com.br (Portuguese)

Valve has fixed Steam's local network game transfer feature, ensuring it no longer connects to the internet when transferring files between devices on the same network. The patch was released on August 3. Previously, a bug caused transfers to download from the internet instead, which was slower. This update complements changes made on April 28, but community feedback showed those fixes were insufficient, prompting the new patch. Local transfers allow users to move games between two machines on the same network, saving bandwidth. The update also fixed login screens, and Valve recently revamped its gifting and wishlist systems.
