It's been well demonstrated that steam does cause lowered fps in the multi-player (game server) environment. Once you get more than about 30-40 players in a MP server-game the fps begins to slow dramatically. This is becuase MP connects to steam as a client & not as a dedicated server. The issue has been reported to the devs & we hope it wil be corrected.
