Title: Disappearing Favorites List
Post by: GreenGround on October 15, 2004, 04:30:27 PM: Just currently, actually ever since the latest steam update evertime i start up steam my favorites list is empty, which never happened before, and when ever it refresh the server list i cant find lunixmonster so i have to go to the fourms to get the IP addrress, no bigge but it is starting to become a bitch, i was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix it?

I also just noticed that i put "on one have this?" in the description
Dont bother replying if your gonna mention that.

I think steam saves your changes when you turn it off, and if you just shut your PC down normally, it doesn't do this. Chalk up another wise programming decision to valve.

In favourites > Change Filters > Remove NS and just have all games, should work.

I use HLSW now anyway.

Funneh, mal

Aye, I had this problem some time ago as well. All it took to fix it was to run steam, add my favorites, and then quit steam. From then on, I was good to go.

Post by: BobTheJanitor on October 19, 2004, 02:10:33 PM: Agh... I want to remove that sig, and yet I can't. Being a mod on the ns forums is starting to bleed into everything else. :help: (btw, your sig is too big!)

Post by: EmperorPenguin on October 19, 2004, 10:48:56 PM: I've found that the Favourites list for Steam (with your favourites for all your games) doesn't delete itself, but if I launch NS first and go use that favourites screen, it deletes them!

So I've taken to using the general Favourites list now.

Post by: GreenGround on October 23, 2004, 06:31:54 PM: Thanks emperor i did what you said and there it was, right when i did that i remebered that i had the same problem the first time with steam, so i guess my fave list was never gone, it was just the stupid nub at the computer.

Post by: Grimm on October 23, 2004, 09:05:08 PM: I havn't had any problems with my Favorites list in Steam, but one thing that has been bugging me recently is how my filter is automatically switched to Counterstrike: Source if I leave it on normal Counterstrike when I close the program. I'm sure they do this so people with CS:S don't think they got ripped off when they go to play 'CS', but I've yet to buy any of the deals yet. Nothing major, but annoying enough to mention.

I think it's just extremely subtle (yet persistent) marketing.

Post by: Grimm on October 26, 2004, 10:28:32 PM: I kind of figured as much, but either way I don't care to deal with it. There should be an option I can check somewhere that says "I'm already planning on buying a package that comes with this game, stop pestering me about it".
