They said after they have queued many games for downloading and installing in the downloads, it does not show any progress of the game status. This makes them very frustrating and unsure of what can be done further. Others also got this unusual problem where the Download button was missing on their Steam app.

Why does my Steam download not show progress?

Many gamers who play various games on Steam notice that the progress status of any game download is not shown, and it is probably caused by one of these reasons:

Outdated Steam client app – When the Steam app is not updated, it might cause many problems, and the game download not showing progress might be one of them. Corrupted game files – When the game files get corrupted, it might create some problems while using the Steam app. So verifying the integrity of game files could be the solution. Download cache – These problems occur when Steam’s cache memory gets corrupted. So, clearing the download cache on Steam can fix this issue. Internet connection – If the internet connection on your system is weak or not stable, this problem might appear on Steam. Steam server issue – Sometimes, the server gets too many requests from gamers, and this causes the server to shut down for a while. Also, Steam shuts down its server for routine maintenance.

How do I fix Steam if downloads are not showing progress?

1. Verify the integrity of game files in the Steam app

2. Update the Steam app

3. Steam server issues

When there are loads of requests received by Steam’s server from many gamers worldwide, it starts getting slower and slower. After it exceeds its threshold, the server shuts down, and such problems tend to occur on the Steam client app. This happens quite rarely, but there is a chance of this happening.

So if this is the case, users can wait for a few hours and then check Steam’s server status again.

Does Steam have a download manager?

Well, there is a download manager inside the Steam app which handles all the download requests from the users, tracks the status of the download progress, etc. There is no separate download manager profile application for this purpose. You can easily access the download manager of the Steam app by clicking the Downloads link at the bottom of the Steam app or by navigating through Library > Downloads on the top sub-menu. To keep track of your achievements while playing games on Steam, you need to download and install the Steam Achievement Manager on your system. Did you find this article interesting and informative?
