Fletcher gave me a heads-up yesterday before announcing it (thanks!). Here are the values that I found:
Quickplay, use # : "quickplay_#" Quickplay Beta/MvM Quickplay : "matchmaking" Server Browser - Internet Tab : "serverbrowser_internet" Server Browser - Favorites Tab : "serverbrowser_favorites" Server Browser - History Tab : "serverbrowser_history" Server Browser - LAN Tab : "serverbrowser_lan" Server Browser - Friends Tab : "serverbrowser_friends" Console : "" steam://connect URL : "steam" Join Off of Friend : "steam" Redirect Prompt : "redirect" I will be releasing a full-feature analytics plugin in the coming days which displays detailed information on a number of factors of connecting players, including connection method.
