1 card yeah.

$9 in microtransactions to clarify.

Tf2 counts as a free to play game since you can play it free. You need to spend $9 usd or equivalent to get a drop. 1 drop per $9.

In other terms, you've used up all the fuel in your idlemaster tank. You need to obtain more games which have cards. Either buy em up cheap during the upcoming winter sale or start stalking giveaway sites for free games. Then you'll have more fuel!

Hey man,

Don't worry, your idlemaster is working! This is a legacy from when Valve implemented a 2-hour wait before your first card-drop. To get around it, Idlemaster would idle all your games at once for 2 hours, then switch to 1-by-1 to get your cards.

If you go to File ---> Options, there's a setting which says "Idling behaviour". Switch it to the top option (Idle each game individually) to switch this off, since it's not needed anymore.

As for how long per card, it varies from game-to-game, but most games will spit out about 1 card per 30 minutes. Of course, there's also a few which do not do this (and I once idled a game which took a whopping 4 hours per card) so ultimately the only solution is patience.

Just remember not to play or run multiple games at once, as Steam will make the time go up exponentially per game running (about 2x the time per game running. So running 10 games means a 1-hour drop becomes 20...and so on!)

Doesn't work. Idlemaster is pretending your account is playing the game it's idling. So if you do that, it just says "steam is offline" error and idlemaster goes to sleep mode.

but comodo antivirus saing that and cant run it

White list it or use a less cruddy antivirus program.

Yeah we figured that out after a lot of trial and error over a private chat...

Stop typing the incorrect code? Not sure what else to say, idlemaster just opens the steam login page.

False positive due to it being an indie program.
