I think one general FAQ to be added is "Is this 100% Allowed?/break any steam TOS, etc." Because of course people will look out for VAC bans but in general.. does this break any steam TOS? etc.

I think in general that running games with this isn't seen as a violation of TOS, but if you login to a game online in MP, or another game with online MP while this is running you run the risk of it being seen as a 3rd party software program/script and a potential VAC Ban.

So...basically don't run it if you actually are going to be in an online game with VAC/anti-cheat even if it isn't being used for that game specificially. Like trying to get drops on other games while playing TF2, or something. Turn this off when you login to those game, or there is a very small posibility it could get read as soemthing worthy of a ban.

Just running this is no big deal because it isn't doing anything except running the game. It just tells STeam that this game is running. Trying to run another game and this a t the same time will look like you are running 2, or more games at once. You could change some code in this to make it run longer than for just card drops so you can boost your playtime hours, but I doubt any games are going to ban you for that. (ie. using it for Universe Sandbox to get the Achievement of playing 365 days total play time.)

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

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?

Simultaneous idling was mainly for the 2 hour wait time for the refund policy. It made it so you can idle 30 games at once for those 2 hours rather than have to do it over 60 hours individually. Idling multiple games at the same time always took way longer for drops than doing it one at a time because it doens't run them all separately like you are running 20 different versions of Steam at once. They are all fighting each other for card drop time.

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?

Yeah...this wouldn't be a bad idea. Currently though you can have it idle the games with the cards that have the highest value in the market, or the fewest/most cards if that is what you want to do as well. ''If you only want to idle a couple games and you will be around your PC you can just hit the next arrow until it gets to the game you want to idle too and then hit it again for the next game when it is done.

Whitelist would deifnitley be easier, but for now those are the only options I know of.

If the game you are running doens't have drops too it should work fine. If it does have drops it will take much longer for the drops of the Idled game and the one you are playing.

Same. I have to enter my login stuff every time I open Idle Master. I also need a code from Steam every time too.

Started last few days for me too. Actually, started after I used the Mobile Authenticator. >_>

BTW...any of you guys that have the Mobile Authenticator done you can go to your

Account>Manage Steam Guard

and you can have it give you a list of 30 of those login codes now so you can put it in a notebook file, or print it out and don't have to get them sent every time you need one.

Recently I think if you have never requested a refund they have dropped the 2 hour policy of having to wait before you get drops. It is pretty much confirmed by a big thread on Idle MAster groups that this is the case. Now they should drop pretty fast, which your ALT account would have since I doubt you ever got a refund on that. Before last week no matter where you got a game it had a 2 hour wait period before you got a card drop to disqualify it from a refund if you got the cards. Now if you don't request refunds you don't have to wait.

There is no other way to do it to discourage abusers unless they set up some other system for how many refunds, or how often you get them. There are people that would buy games, idle it for cards, and return it immediately over and over again if Valve would let them. I assume they may already do some system, or will eventually for legit refunders and it might be like a 30 day lock if you get a refund, or more than 3 in a month for instance.

People that have a pattern of refunds I see no problem with making them work a little harder to get their cards to try and hold back on refunds. It's not like they are legit refund reasons. They will be gettign refunds most of the time for games they don't even install, so they have no legit bef with the game.

well then, that makes sense (if they're abusing the refund thingo just to idle)
That's why we can't have nice things :(

The biggest issue is that if they let everyone get refunds the market economy would be destroyed. All trading cards would be sold for $0.04 since nobody would have to keep any of the games. You could buy $60 games for cards without a thought if you had a floating $60 worth of credit and then get a refund so even those cards would go down to nothing. Emoticons and backgrounds would be in much larger supply due to the amount of card holders too.So they would all be worth much less. It would be like everythign on the market was from a "Free" game, or one of those $95% off games.
