How often does steam save your non-steam-games in the list? Seriously!? I was so excited about this feature when i saw it in beta and couldn't wait to try the beta! When i finally got it I thought it was awesome that the steam community worked on top of most games. However in beta it would save the non-steam games in my games list very often, i figured it would be fixed before the beta ended. Disappointment- I still get this problem, Im tired of re-adding the games to the list so now, for me, its a useless feature. How many other got this as well?

Just put them on your desktop, they will run a whole lot easier without steam running in the background anyway.

I run steam in the background with every game and it doesnt budge it a bit, hell i ran the crysis demo out of steam and it ran just fine on high settings, so its really not an issue. I've had to put a lot of stuff back on the desk top because this feature is so faulty.

some try closing steam, deleting their clientregistry.blog and restarting it and see if they stay then. I think that might be what got rid of mine ( however automatic updates will get rid of mine as well )

I'd have figured it'd be more annoying to even bother using steam for other games. Just don't use the feature, I can't fathom why anyone would want to bother with it.

Same, although I don't use this feature very often.

For some reason it doesn't show that I'm playing the non-steam game when I'm in chat. It shows for a split second, but when it runs it tells I'm not playing a game. :(, That also means the overlay doesn't work ingame.

I dont use the feature any more, it was a nice thought... if it worked for me. The only time I'll use it now is if Im talking to some one over steam and i want to play a game and still talk to them then I'll browse it and run it, but it never stays for long.
