LAG Bombed: Mixing of Steam Players and Origin Players (can't tell who's who)

I was in a session earlier, hosted by someone using Steam. Let's just say, I couldn't move much.

There needs to be a way to identify who's using what Client, especially as not everyone can sit in a Steam Player Lobby.

I was playing a session with a Steam Client Host, and everything I was doing took forever. In the time it took to get my Power Plant down, the person I was playing against was already able to build units and was already sending attack units before I could do anything.

I came out of said lobby after the inevitable happened (Lost due to LAG), and exited the game, only to find my Router trying to notify my computer of a 'FLAG_STATE=TRUE' warning.

Error Message:

'INBOUND_IP identified as FLAG_STATE=TRUE Unable to terminate connection, please reset gateway manually.'

I get this message when a connection is made to a Blacklisted IP address and the connection is unable to be broken because the application using that connection can't be terminated. Steam Client is on that list of Blacklisted IP addresses (Blacklisted by my ISP). As the game is so new, my ISP doesn't know it yet, so doesn't have a command that is optimised for it.

I don't know why, but they send a 'TASKKILL' command when a connection is made to a Blacklisted IP address, and that command is generally able to crash most anything I use. When I'm on Battlefield 4, the TASKKILL command crashes the game when I'm in a lobby with someone using Steam. Yes, this gets annoying when I'm trying to do something specific on that game. In this case, the CnC Remaster didn't crash, but it got extremely slow to the point of unresponsive most of the time (I didn't last long).

Can we have some way of identifying who's using what in the Lobby's please, because I'm not having any Win/Loss ratio being destroyed by this type of thing happening.

For everyone wondering, how does my ISP know what and who is using Steam and attempt to block them, I have no idea. I'm just glad that they just disconnect me, and don't go postal on every incoming Steam IP address, otherwise I'd have a lot of angry Steam players wondering why they're getting issues. At least it's me getting the problems and not them. No, I don't how my ISP knows who's using Steam. As for why they take such action to actually crash my games, it's because Steam got Blacklisted years ago. Steam got Blacklisted by my ISP due to some hacking incident that happened back in 2010 (changing router doesn't reset the Blacklist, any new router gets updated with that Blacklist). Long story. Let's just say, I had my identity stolen and someone else using my connection was to blame as they were not careful when playing online using Steam. Combine this with a virus that used an exploit in the Steam Client, and hey presto, one dead PC and a set of IP addresses that get blocked permanently (the list is kept up to date, and is extremely long now).

So yes, I can't play with people using the Steam Client, meaning, I'm most likely never going to be able to get custom maps via the game by joining other people's lobbies as they are almost guarantied to be players using the Steam Client. Hence, I need to be able to identify, and when Hosting, prevent them from connecting to my lobbies. I'm sure once my ISP updates the TASKKILL list, that I will be crashing a lot more.

FAQ:

Q1- Why does my ISP have a TASKKILL list in the first place?

A1- It's not for me, but it applies to everyone who uses my router.

Q2- How sharp is that TASKKILL list?

A2- Very, and it triggers before a session loads properly, and in the case of BF4, the application closes down and spits out the 'This program has stopped working correctly' message.

Q3- Why is the Blacklist still in effect, even though it started back in 2010?

A3- I've never phoned them up to remove it, and the amount of times it's saved me from problems is uncountable, since that Blacklist is updated to block other things such as Social Media sites (people have sent E-Mails containing links to malicious Social Media Posts before).

Q4- Just how long is the Blacklist in my case?

A4- It's a very large file that is installed onto any computer that connects to that router (auto-installs and can't be deleted). A friend of mine tried to delete the file once, the router kicked him off the connection, and when it reconnected, the file was reinstalled.

Q5- Would I get rid of such functionality given the choice?

A5- No, as it keeps people using my router from needing to worry too much about what they click on.

Q6- How do I get anything done online, especially on a Browser?

A6- I have to use OperaGX, as it has a built in Ad-Blocker, alternatively I use Google Chrome, but it has an extension that my ISP made, but it slows the Chrome Browser down a lot.

Strange for most people to understand, and believe, but that's how it is for me.
