Some other FAQ answers
[This FAQ is actively being updated, feel free to ask a question and aside answering i will maybe even add it to the official questions!]

(Yes, there is another FAQ but these are questions i have seen lately, therefore i wanted to answer them)

Okay, so reading through these threads i realized that the the questions are always the same, and since we found answers to all of those, i collected them here:

It just doesnt work, i cant login (etc.)!
Please uninstall Idle Master, then update Java and reinstall Idle Master when done. also, make sure Steam is running!

It says "Idling complete", but it hasn't actually idled anything?!
Yes, that is because you have no games to idle left. Idle Master checks for remaining Card drops, those can be seen on your badges page. Basically, to get more avaiable card drops, buy new games which include cards or buy things ingame and fill the "bar" to get eligible for one card.

What about the "use cookies to login" thingy they mention?
Apparently, it is a safer(?) way to login. But using your cookies is litterally the same thing, since they include all used passwords. Since IM is an open-source program, you can be assured it wont actually take anything but your steam password, but its overall too much work compared to just entering your pw.

Will i need to have the games installed i want to idle?
No, but you need to have them atleast in you library.

May i use a steam-crack in which i can get all steam games for free?
1. Dont use those, they are illegal!
2. No, since they are not actually getting you any legit cards, it would be useless idling for free stuff.

May i run IM on a different account than the one i am logged into steam with?
Sadly, that does not work (Found out after Testing by "TITIMOSQUITO187" and me)

The playtime stays on zero hours. Why?
For some unknown reason, the counter sometimes stays on zero during an idle session. It can be ignored, aslong as you still collect cards. (If not, try to fix the issue using the answers above!)

I played on a VAC protected sever (Tf2/CSGO/...)! Will i be banned?
I actually took the risk of trying it out some time ago (about 2 months ago to be exact)
And - as you can see - i'm not vac banned! If i would be, i could just ask the support because the IM doesnt break any 'rules' set by steam.
Maybe you dont want to idle TF2 while actually playing it, but as it seems idling while playing on VAC servers doesnt get you a game or vac ban.
You might want to google "Vac banned for using idle master" and you will see there are no confirmed vac bans. Thanks to multiple users for this idea.

Can i run IM without the Steam client?
No. No steam game can run without the client, except games which have their own run file in the game folder. But for IM to see your badges (to idle the specific games), Steam must be running.

Any other questions?
Just ask the devs (or me, i am not an official admin or something), they will be able to help.
Keep in mind that spamming someone will not make them answer faster!

Have a nice day and have fun idling,
^Henni

Will this work?

for instance say I am playing a game with my one Steam Account, but would like to idle games from my ALT account while i play it. Will IM actually drop the cards that way as if I am logged into that account, or will playing a game on my other account stop it from doing so?

In this instance IM is logged into ALTAcct1, and Steam itself is logged into my SteamMain account. Will IM get drops for the ALTAcct1 Idling if I am still running a game on SteamMain?

Is it possible to run IM and get drops on both ALTAcct1 with IM and from a game with drops on SteamMain if the Steam client is running and logged into that account at the same time?

Sorry, dont think so. Steam itself needs to be running and probably logged into the correct account.
However, just give it a shot! Maybe it will :)

I ran it for 1 hour with IM logged into my ALT account while Steam was running logged into my Main account and it seems you are correct.

IM will run logged into my ALT account while Steam is logged into my Main Account, and even show all the games that have card drops on that ALT account, BUT it will continue to show 0 hours played for the entire time it is running. :(

So...Steam absolutley has to be logged into the same account as IM is, or it won't drop the cards, or count hours of running those game. Basically, IM can't force Steam to think it is running those games unless Steam itself is running and logged into that account even though IM itself is logged into that account. IM is logged into a "browser" account and not the actual client I suppose, but it seems like we could trick it to do that somehow can't we?

I just wanted to point out that updating Java won't actually do anything in regards to Idle Master. Idle Master isn't written in nor uses Java.

I think IM is still connected to the steam program. (Check source code, perhaps)
Updated the questions after testing it by myself. And no, i didnt recieve any cards aswell (3 hrs)

I noticed that it actually showed all the games that were supposedly running on my ALT account on my profile page for my main account as being played recently too. xD

It didn't add hours played to it, however because IM didn't actually consider it running. I happen to have all those games on my mian account too, as jsut about anyone else would, but It was interesting. :P

Yes, that is because you have no games to idle left. Idle Master checks for remaining Card drops, those can be seen on your badges page. Basically, to get more avaiable card drops, buy new games which include cards or buy things ingame and fill the "bar" to get eligible for one card.

What about the "use cookies to login" thingy they mention?
Apparently, it is a safer(?) way to login. But using your cookies is litterally the same thing, since they include all used passwords. Since IM is an open-source program, you can be assured it wont actually take anything but your steam password, but its overall too much work compared to just entering your pw.

Will i need to have the games installed i want to idle?
No, but you need to have them atleast in you library.

May i use a steam-crack in which i can get all steam games for free?
1. Dont use those, they are illegal!
2. No, since they are not actually getting you any legit cards, it would be useless idling for free stuff.

May i run IM on a different account than the one i am logged into steam with?
Sadly, that does not work (Found out after Testing by "TITIMOSQUITO187" and me)

The playtime stays on zero hours. Why?
For some unknown reason, the counter sometimes stays on zero during an idle session. It can be ignored, aslong as you still collect cards. (If not, try to fix the issue using the answers above!)

Any other questions?
Just ask the devs (or me, i am not an official admin or something), they will be able to help.
Keep in mind that spamming someone will not make them answer faster!

like I had said before in a previous thread, after I click login it says steam is running, a white screen pops up saying "Please login to steam" then it closes, a box pops up and says "saving your information" and closes. And nothing happens
