No, there's no way to revert the damage caused by the mistake.

Say a user has two of your game servers on their favorites list. One with IP 
1.1.1.1 and another with IP 2.2.2.2. What happens is the Steam client initially 
sees the server at IP 1.1.1.1 has game server account 1 set, so it records 
that. It also sees 2.2.2.2 is not logged in with a game server account, so it 
makes no change to that entry. Then after some time your game server at IP 
2.2.2.2 restarts and logs in to account 1, stealing it from IP 1.1.1.1. 
Eventually, Steam clients will see this and update the 1.1.1.1 entry to 2.2.2.2 
which means they lose the 1.1.1.1 entry. This is the intended behavior of the 
current design. Essentially you can only have one entry in your favorites list 
per game server account.

OK, now that the sv_setsteamaccount is properly configured on all our servers, 
disappearing has stopped.

However, it still requires me and anyone else to manually re-add the servers 
that disappeared. That has had a huge popularity hit.

Did this faulty configuration really cause every single player who entered the 
server to get the server permanently deleted from their favorites? Is there any 
way to revert that?

Tony can you add the sv_registration_message and sv_registration_successful 
counterparts for steam accounts? It would be useful to debug these issues.

Ever since we enabled sv_setsteamaccount in our servers, they have been 
randomly disappearing from the favorites list of our regulars (including mine).

Also, servers are losing connection to the registered Steam account after only 
like 30 minutes or so. Connected clients also get dropped at random with error 
code 6.

Is anyone else having this issue?
