A pinned thread won't help. There is already a pinned FAQ that answeres questions and people STILL ask those same questions here over and over.

you can use Idle-Master-helper, go to here https://github.com/jshackles/idle_master_py
and download as zip here https://github.com/jshackles/idle_master_py/archive/master.zip

follow the instruction in documentation and run idle-to-ready to idle up to 25 games at once for 2 hours

This was not anyting that the OP was interested in.

you can't ..

You need to read what the OP is asking....

He wants a feature where he can pick ANY game in his library and add time to it by idling it. He want's to use IM to pad his playtime not just idle for cards.

IM is running the game so of course it is going to add playtime to the game.

If you have it dowloaded already yeah.


If not then IM and SAM help because you do not have to download the game saving some bandwith. Also using IM or SAM will save on system resources as the game is not actually running. This way if you are doing other things on your PC it won't slow them down.

If the game does not have VAC you can not get a VAC ban.

I do not suggest using SAM or IM on any games that have VAC enabled. Your account is not worth the risk of a ban to idle for cards or pad your playtime.

As far as I know you can use SAM to run/idle games esentially adding time to your games.

IM can also be used to do this as well but requires some work on your part as this is something it was not really designed to do (and as far as I know will not be added as an actual feature).

I posted how to do this on page 2 of this thread .. http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/groups/idlemastery/discussions/0/610573009247516421/

Right at the top of this very discussion group there is a sticky (pinned) topic called IDLE MASTER FAQ.

The VERY FIRST quesation is exactly what you just asked.

You just have to be patient.

IM has no control over how or when the cards drop. That's all up to Valve nad the games publisher.

Just keep IM running if you have cards let to get from playing / idling cards you will get them.

Because you need to spend approx. $9 USD in either in-game purchase or DLC for each game to be eligable for card drops.

Free games does not equal free card drops and free money.
