Thanks for letting me know, I was unaware of alternatives!

Where can I sign a petition? =)

It seems like there's been some changes on how card drops. For example, I completed 3 out of 4 games I was idling simultaneously before the 2 hours expired. I wish I could idle simultaneously even after the 2 hours.

Also, some people mention a bug in which sometimes when you skip a game or stop/relaunch IM, multiple cards will drop (not what happened in the above paragraph).

I understand jshackles' reasons and if he doesn't want to resume IM, I respect that, because IM is just not that useful to him anymore. But maybe there's someone out there who knows a bit about programming (unfortunately, not me) and can use the source code in order to keep the project alive?

It doesn't hurt to ask.

TIA!

Thanks, it worked. For future reference, I had to wait for a game to start being idled on the first stance of IdleMaster in order to open/close the other one. You can't do it while it's loading the badge pages.

Still a few tests I wanna make, not sure if you know the answers:

* What happens when the game being idled is closed by IM and another one opens?
It will show the new game name, which totally ruins the purpose... =/

* What happens if I run an actual Steam game to play?
It will show the actual game I'm playing while it's open, then return normally to "Idle Master"

I know what I want is just cosmetics, but is there a way to use Idle Master as a non-Steam game and have it show as your "current playing" game during the whole idling process? I managed to add it as a non-Steam game and it shows as "Now playing" while it loads the badge pages, but as soon as it starts idling, it gets replaced by the game being idle.

Is there a way around that?

Read the FAQ. You've probably got all drops already.

Actually, it happened once for me.

It's impossible. IM simulate game launch, but not actually running them.

I thought the same, until it happened. It happened only once, and I'm not sure what were the conditions, or what the game was, but I'm not lying

Actually, it happened once for me. Don't remember what game it was, but it sure did.

"Thank you, Hamstersex" was missing here

Yes, it's here:

psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/my/gamecards/316030

3 drops remaining, currently idling on IM (for 7 hours now)

Got over 7h for Alice in Wonderland, still no drops...

Anyone else with a similar experience?
