Easy way to add a BF:BC2 Server to favorites?

Post by IcEWoLF »

It seems like a living hell, is there a way to link your server so I can just post the link on our website and people will be able to automatically join the server via steam by clicking the link?

Unfortunately there isn't, no =\. This is also how it worked in the beta, and they didn't change it.

I type in the name of the server into the search bar and it shows up, then add it to favorites.

The way I found to make it work is to play on the server then leave without it DCing you and it should then hopefully show up in your "History" from there it seems to take adding to favorites.. Worked for me anyways.

I made a guide on my website, which you can copy and edit if you want:

I made a post just telling people what to add to their game settings file.
- Open the file \My Documents\BFBC2\GameSettings.ini
- Find FavoriteGames=
- Replace line with FavoriteGames=4281237092,e32162ab-3aa6-4f0c-ba29-a459d9df8e26,Hassle Free Gaming;
The above is obviously specific to my server, you'd have to find out what the line contains for your own servers once you add them. it works quite well if people are having a hard time finding your server. Many of my members have gone this route.

Cheers,
