Steam Connection Info

If you are regularly playing multiplayer P2P games on Steam, then chances are that you may want to know a bit more about other players, especially if their behavior is rather abnormal. Simply put, if you suspect that someone is cheating or their connection is detrimental to your team's victory, knowing more about their connection, can help you make informed decisions about how to handle the situation.

Steam Connection Info is a lightweight tool that can provide you with extra information about your teammates and opponents.

The application doesn’t require installation, so just launch and access the options from the System Tray. You can adjust the amount of data to be displayed about players, as well as set a position for the app window that will be displayed while gaming. On a side note, you can make the inside game window as transparent as you want so that it doesn’t distract or inconvenience you.

The information that can be displayed about other players includes IP, ping, relay, country along with the name and the data is displayed in a column. Simply mark any of the aforementioned info from the Columns setting.

The program include a Miscellaneous setting tab that enables you to save the data as well as set up a country or ping filter. You can eliminate various players that may have a negative impact on your gaming experience.

Although the app doesn’t allow you to configure hotkeys, the developer mentions some shortcuts that you may find useful. Pressing the Home key shows and hides the window, whereas pressing the Insert key locks it and makes it transparent for all input.

Steam Connection Info is a handy tool that provides you with extra player information so that you can have a more immersive gaming experience and communicate better with other players.
