Valve has fixed an issue affecting Steam’s local network game transfers, a feature designed to let users copy installed games between nearby PCs without downloading them again from the internet. The change matters for people with limited broadband capacity, data caps or slow connections, as local transfers can reduce reliance on external downloads.

The article reports that the fix should make these transfers more dependable when moving games across a home or local network. Steam’s local transfer system is intended to use an existing installation on another device, potentially saving time and internet data when setting up or updating games.
