First of all, calling this a "Major Design Flaw" is a bit disingenuous at best.

I understand that some people are frustrated with this behavior. Most people who use Idle Master aren't adding multiple games to their account everyday to even encounter the scenario you are describing.

While changes to this behavior ARE being looked into, please understand that changes like this typically take time to implement correctly and to thoroughly test.

I agree, this is not a major flaw. Its a noticeable issue for some, sure, but it does not prevent Idle Master from working, and as such I dont think that anyone is saying you should immediately drop everything you are doing to fix it. Rosey was just pointing out (perhaps a bit dramatically) that he found a problem with the program. (The same one I had reported without any response about a month ago.) Its great to hear that you are actually aware of the issue though!

I think our ultimate goal is simply to alert you to the problem and hope that you will acknowledge that an issue exists and that you will take a fix under consideration when you have time to make changes. Its because we use and enjoy the program that we provide detailed feed back, even if sometimes we tend to overstate the problem.

Those of us in the community who have paid any attention at all know that you have more than one rather demanding programming project going on, and as such know that we need to be patient and wait for you to get the time to tackle such issues and add features.

Thanks for the all the great services you have provided the Steam community through your programs and tools. :)

I made a thread about this awhile back, and was informed that someone else had mentioned this behavior before: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/groups/idlemastery/discussions/0/517142892071896087/

EDIT: With regards to what you said blood_demon: Telling each game to idle separately will sometimes idle games with zero hours in them before games with 2+ hours in them. Its only a half-measure at best, and if it idles even a single zero-hour game anywhere in your list using that method, then you've already wasted more time than if you had just continued to use the simultaneous idle method instead (since only one game would get idled up to two hours, instead of all the others that needed it at that point.)

the games it not working for are: Batman Arkham City, Bediege, Counter-Strike Global Offrnsive, FTL, Garry's Mod, Space Engineers, Watch_Dogs.
Some of these may not have card drops availble but if they do i dont have them and it doesnt work.

Go to your badges page and see which ones have card drops available. If none of them have card drops available, then you've already gotten them and theres nothing more that Idle Master can do. If they show card drops remaining and Idle Master does not idle them, then theres a problem with Idle Master.

If you have more than 4-6 hours of play time in each of those games, then you've probably already gotten every card drop possible.

Time for everyone to read the Trading Card FAQ again.
http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/tradingcards/faq/

Idle Master works for every game in which you are eligible to receive card drops for.
IE: Only games that you own which have trading cards that have not been fully collected. If a game on your Badges page says that you have card drops remaining, Idle Master will idle that game.

Which version of Idle Master are you using?
Can you give specific examples of which games its not giving card drops for?
Have you tried rebooting your computer / logging back into Steam and restarting Idle Master?

When using "Idle games simultaneously up to 2 hours." Would it be possible to prioritize games with 2+ hours of playtime above those with less than 2? (Start with games that are ready to drop cards.)

The problem:
You idle all of your games for 2 hours so that card drops are enabled, but you dont have time to finish idling everything. You come back the next day but have added a new game since then. Instead of idling the games which have already been played before for 2 hours and getting card drops, Idle Master starts idling the games with zero hours first. This makes it difficult to achieve forward progress if you often add new games, or if a game releases cards since the last time you started Idle Master. You end up idling zero-hour games for 2 hours each day rather than checking games off the list.

Suggestion Details:
New option / replace default behavior for "Idle games simultaneously up to 2 hours."

New Option / Replacement Behavior:
"Idle individual games with with greater than two hours first, then simultaneously up to 2 hours, then individually again."

Order of operations:
1: If played time is greater than 2 hours, idle these by [Idling Order]
2: If no games are greater than 2 hours, idle games under 2 hours simultaneously*

*Possible logic issue: If one game reaches 2 hour status before the others, have to decide if it should finish idling the rest of the games up to 2 hours, or if it should stop all other idles and satisfy condition #1. (This might occur if one game starts at 1 hour of idle, and another has 1.5 hours of idle and they both idle simultaneously.)

This seems like by design according to one of the recent announcements. IdleMaster will idle each game for 2 hours, and then go back later and idle them to get the card drops. From my understanding. Im still using an old version myself till the new one is stable.

Steam changed card drops to not drop before the 2 hour mark to combat people buying games, idling the cards, and then returning the game and keeping the cards. What IM seems to be doing is getting you past the period of non-drops (2 hours) and then doing a one-at-a-time idle.

From the first line of the update:

"Idle Master now has an option to either idle games individually or idle games simultaneously up to two hours, then individually. While simultaneous idling in this case is more effective, some people wanted the option of idling games individually."

Installing .net framework 4 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851) seemed to resolve the issue, so it appears that there is a dependency. Might be valuable to put that into the readme / documentation / FAQ.

steam-idle.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135).

Am getting this error when trying to run Idle Master in a Virtual Machine clone of WinXP 32 bit. Steam and steam games seem to run fine in it for the most part.

Does Idle Master have any dependencies like .net framework or some such? I didnt see any mention of this in the readme and thats about the only thing i can think of that might cause it to fail. (Dont have .net framework installed in my VM.)
