Fortress Forever naming problem on Steam

FreaK367 · 05-01-2011, 09:19 PM

Not sure if everyone has this problem, but in the steam community, Fortress Forever is called Source SDK Base 2006 without a picture or anything. I like to leave detailed recommendations to others on my friends list, and I was going to for Fortress Forever, but people aren't going to know what Source SDK Base 2006 is...

Is there any way to fix this?, and is it just me, or others. In my game library, the name Fortress Forever does show up, but unlike other mods, it does not show any information on how many friends play this game etc... and steam considers it a non-steam mod.

Exact copy from my recently played games in the Steam community page.

Yeah, there's nothing we can do about that as far as I know. All mods (except those on Steamworks, I believe) get shown as Source SDK Base, sadly.

I wish there was a way that could be fixed, I have 7 mods installed currently on Steam, and only 3 of them are accepted by steam as proper mods, and have the recent news, friends playing, achievements etc... and those 3 games have quite big communities, well, one of them is similar to FF's community, the other two often have 100+ players on at one time, usually more. Just checked the 2 popular steam mods, one currently has around 170 players on, and the other about 190 players. And this time is considered a fairly dead time for those games, like FF, more players are on games at night.

And the other 4 non steam mods, one is Fortress Forever, and the other 3 are currently dead, with 0 players... but used to have communities. Which sucks.

And, I've noticed when I add a shortcut to desktop, all of the non steam mods don't have an icon..

It would be awesome if Fortress Forever had the proper steam mod status

, it's like a badge of approval, and tends to get a lot more players playing games. Or so it seems. This is currently the only non steam mod I play with any kind of community.
