Under what conditions the "servers" event is triggered? #474

Please indicate in the readme that the "servers" event is triggered after successful execution of the "logOn" method. this information would have saved me time.

What were you doing that the specific timing of the 'servers' event made a difference?

dmetree01 commented 4 years ago

I just needed a list of active steam server addresses. I expected this event to fire immediately after the "connected" event. In any case, I ended up with this list, only it was a bit non-obvious. Thanks :)

It's emitted when Steam sends you a server list. That seems to happen upon logging in, but it could change. Either way you shouldn't rely on this event to be emitted at all.
