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.

Try adding it, then closing steam, then restarting steam. Sometimes it just won't stick if you don't do this. 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.

I am having the same problem. Favorites are wiped every time steam is shut down. Using the history list works about as well though.

Thanks for the fix lolfighter, I check the steam fourms and a small handful of people have this problem and also there sadly is still no solution, constanly readding my fav severs is starting to annoy me now i really hope this gets fixed soon.

Yea i've had this for a while now.
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.

Sorry, but while the dimensions on your sig are just right, it's a little big. See if you can compress it a little to get below the 22kb limit. -lolfighter

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!)

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.

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.

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.
