Only thing that someone pointed out to me earlier today was that Valve can see that the client does not say "Installed" for the game.

But I highly doubt that type of info is sent back to Valve though as it would serve no purpose in the past.

At the end of the day if Valve wanted to stop it they would have by now. Look at SAM that does this as well as allow you to mark achieves as done and THAT is still around with no issues.

Understandlable ... But just imagine how much longer without Idle Master :P

Maybe have it that when only 1 card is left the time to check drops to 5 or 10 mins.

I don't see the reasoning really.

So a game has 3 cards to drop. A card drops and Idle Master sees the new item notification. Then what? What happens if that new items is something else like a new coupon from Steam?

Only benefit this will possibly have would be to update how many cards are left. But it does that anyway when the timer reaches 0.

This feature would have zero effect on how fast you get your cards other than saving a minute or two in between game switches.

It can take quite a while sometimes for cards to drop.

I have noticed a few things.

1) Idling a game and playing a game greatly affects the drop rate.
2) The more cards a game has the faster drops can happen. Example: A game with 12 cards will drop a card every 20 mins or so where a game with 5 cards will take 30+ mins to drop a card.
3) On average it takes upwards of 2 hours to drop all cards.
4) On some occasions I have noticed a card can take an hour to drop.

Try shutting down IdleMaster and restarting it. It may be coincidence but sometimes I feel like that has helped me in the past.

Not to sure how long you have had to wait but all that all you can do is wait. Hope that eventually the card drops.

Where was this post?

NVM I saw it .. http://www.steamgifts.com/forum/NMXTu/idle-master-get-your-steam-trading-cards-the-easy-way/page/6 ..

I thnk we need more proof other than a random internet person.

No problem. I'm sure any major releases will have new features listed when it is posted here. Be nice to have a "What's New" button or something in the About window (suggested by another user here) that shows latest features and updates on major releases.

The timer is just a check to see how many cards you have left. More than one card can drop withing that 15 min timer.

If you are watching it then you can hit the Next button if you know that all cards have actually dropped.

The 15 min check is also I belive designed so that Steams servers are not being spammed by Idle Master trying to check peoples card drop status.

The only real wasted time is when after the last card drops. Then it just takes that remaining time before it sees that and cycles to the next game. And like I said in that scenario you can just hit the next button.

Google Chrome downloaded just fine for me.
You sure you got it from the "Download ZIP" button here https://github.com/jshackles/idle_master.

Windows 8.1 does pop up a red (Windows Smartscreen) warning saying it "Protected My PC". If you click More Info you can run it anyway.

EDIT .. Just checked the official website download from http://www.steamidlemaster.com/ and it does indeed get flagged by Chrome as unsafe. You can just click the little arrow on the right of the download and select "Keep"

Idle Master is still at version 0.7.

What you are seeing in those updates are just little bug fixes that jshackles is pushing out.

You can see some of what the changes are here .. https://github.com/jshackles/idle_master/commits/master

Because you already got the cards.
Looking at you inventory you have cards for Black Ops II, Don't Starve, Garry's Mod and Tomb Raider.

You also have more than enough hours into those games to have dropped those cards LONG ago.

You can Check on your Badges page ( http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/profiles/76561198065037494/badges/ ) and it will tell you how many more FREE card drops you have remaining in a game.

Once it say "No card drops remaining" you can no longer get cards from idling/playing a game.
Only way to get more cards for a game would be through trading, buying them on the market and booster packs.
