Also, you can use the "Friends"-Tab in your Server Browser to see where your friends are playing.

Thanks for the feedback! I tried to reproduce the issue, and I couldn't think of why the Steam Profiles of your Friends were not being downloaded to the server.

I emptied the cache and tried again, seems to be fine for me. Would you be able to confirm if my emptying the cache did the trick?

I see the "Friends" tab does provide this information, but it is limited to Players currently playing. This tool is designed to show information of Friends who may be offline as well.

That's very helpful, I didn't realize it would fail for everybody whose profile was private. I will have to revise the logic here. Thank you very much for this!

What is wrong with setting a Nickname on them manually (I haven't tried it so I don't exactly know what it does) or Viewing previous Aliases? What does your site bring that Steam doesn't already contain?

The error shouldn't appear, it should degrade gracefully with an error message prompting users to make their profiles public. I will work on a way for users who wish to keep their profiles private to have the option to enter their own STEAM API Key (which I will not store on the server, it will be kept as a Cookie), and thus have the benefit of accessing their Friends' information without having to expose their profile.

The Steam Community website or the Steam Client doesn't produce a view of your Friends in terms of which game you also own, that they are currently playing most often.

This tool is meant to produce information about your Friends, to help you better leverage the Tag-As and Nickname capabilities of the Steam Client.

You can obtain both of those through the Steam Interface easily.

To view who owns the game, view the game in the Store.
To view who has recently played the game, view the game in your Library.

Ah! Superb! I had not realized it was that simple :-) I was dinking around on the steamcommunity.com website for this information and didn't realize it was right there in the client! Thanks
