Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): 1751405894
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Arch
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
  • Steam Logs: N/A
  • GPU: AMD

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

You can temporarily add more than 25 friends to your favorites list. Restarting Steam resets your favorites list back down to the first 25.

If 25 is the backend limit, as a user I would expect the client to show some kind of error or notification when trying to add more. Silently modifying the list on restart is confusing.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Add more than 25 friends to your favorites
  2. Restart Steam
  3. Favorites after the 25th get cleared
