I still wonder why you can't use a dns instead of an IP... We should have a cvar like sv_favname...
Lets say its blank by default -> favorites menu memorizes the IP of the server When server admin sets something in like sv_favname "host.domain.com", then favorites memorizes the dns name... On the same kind of issue I still wonder why VALVe still uses their out of date server listing stuff... I have to wait 5 mins to see half of the servers of my country... I really think VALVe should geolocalize the player's IP and send the server list depending on the players country... I've been using goelocalization databases for quite a while now, thats really easy to implement... Too bad its not done already.. Do you really think UK players will play on Italian servers? Man they have 1000+ decent servers in their country, they won't event think about connecting to one...
