I can CONFIRM this not being fixed. I just played (restarted steam client to make sure the new update hit me) and it still happened to me.
Yeah, I don't think it's fixed, people are just saying it's occurring less frequently now.
It'd be nice if someone could get cooperation from Valve and maybe see a diff between the Steam versions before and after the Engie update, I imagine that would help pinpoint the issue. We know that this affects all Steam games, not just TF2.
This issue _did_ exist before, but it would just slow down for three or four seconds at a time and come right back, so it was negligible. Perhaps Valve has greatly increased the aggressiveness of the scan?
