The account ID is always used to get the latest IP:port combo. If that account ID isn’t being used anymore, clients will continue to check for a game server at the last known IP and port, but the favorites list entry will never be updated. Clients never update the account ID in the favorites list once it’s set.

Hmm, if cutting down on servers, that can be a tactic to get all ppl to 1 server. Question is, if a server is logged into a account, and then sometime later gets another account on the same IP, does that get the entry to be updated on the client, or will if another IP logs in (later/after that same IP gets populated with a new server) it be moved to that new IP? ________________________________ From: Tony Paloma <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: 'Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list' <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Tuesday, 11 March 2014, 23:26 Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 servers disappearing from favorites and losing Steam connection 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. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Setup1337 ?

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? ________________________________ Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2014 13:56:21 -0700 From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 servers disappearing from favorites and losing Steam connection Tony can you add the sv_registration_message and sv_registration_successful counterparts for steam accounts? It would be useful to debug these issues.

Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2014 10:18 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [hlds] TF2 servers disappearing from favorites and losing Steam connection 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? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
