Hi, I'm experiencing an issue where Steam sometimes disconnects unexpectedly during my Dota 2 sessions. This hasn't happened with any other games I've played. When I try to close the app and log back in, it keeps saying it can't connect to the Steam network after several attempts. After a while, it reconnects automatically, but then it disconnects again and shows "No Steam connecting." Normally, it reconnects on its own after a short delay, but when I try to jump back in, it lags significantly—10 to 15 seconds—and drops to around 2 to 5 frames per second, making it nearly impossible to play. The good news is my internet connection is stable otherwise, except for Steam and Dota 2. This problem started a few months ago and seems to appear and disappear randomly. I'm looking for someone who might have some advice on resolving this.

Are you connected via cable or Wi-Fi? How fast is your internet connection?

I’m connected and the speed is as shown on the test site. The router is a Pirelli PRG AV4202N2 from my ISP, but I don’t think it affects the internet since other apps like Skype, Spotify and Chrome are working properly except for Steam/Dota.
