Why does Steam patching take so long?

Steam patching might take forever because of your internet connection, buddy. Slow internet = slow download. Also, Steam's servers could be overloaded, especially during big sales or when a popular game drops a massive update. And don't forget, if your PC's running a marathon in the background (think updates, scans, or other downloads), Steam's gonna feel more like a snail.

Honestly, it once took ages for me to download a patch, then I realized Steam was set to download at a snail's pace in the settings. A quick tweak, and I was back in game in no time. Always check your Steam settings folks!
