You'll have to erase the defective file(s) causing this, that's why reinstall isn't fixing it. They'll be in the appdata "Idlemaster" folder, which you need to erase (I just kill the whole folder, easier than filtering).

It should be under C/Users/yourname/appdata/local. Appdata is a hidden folder so you'll need that revealed.

This is in the FAQ, but I'll continue.

Cards are not infinite. Idlemaster does not making cards, just making Steam give you the cards it naturally would by running the games nonstop. Once Steam has no more cards to give you, Idlemaster goes "Idling complete". This is the signal that it has run out of stuff to give you. The fuel tank is empty. Nothing left.

The solution to fix this is simple and you're not going to like it: Feed your idlemaster more games.

Buy them, trade for them, get from giveaways...doesn't matter. As long as the game has cards, idlemaster will run them for you.

To answer a common question in advance: "What about free-to-play games with cards?"
These have cards, but you only "unlock" 1 card per $15 (US dollars, I have no idea the convert rate in other currencies) spent in-game. Until then you will idle 0 cards because steam does not give you any.

I've been using it for over a year now. I think that if valve was gonna hit me with the ban hammer they'd have done so by now.

There has been multiple people who accidentally logged onto vac servers while using this and got away safely. It's simply advised to avoid that level of crazy since it's all risk for little reward. Using it while not playing any other steam game is unlikely to yield any sort of problem and is indeed considered safe.

So I have to let Steam Idle Master idle all of my games for 2 hours each, then it'll idle each game individually until I get all the cards from that game?

Correct

dutch.wafel lähetti viestin:

i have idle master but i don't have games that gives cards so can u send me some good games that gives cards :)

If I had a stockpile of card-giving games conveniently stashed where I could hand them out on a whim I'd be a much higher level than I am right now.

Or in TL;DR version: PFFT NOPE.

Use the link in the post you quoted.

If that's not what you meant then I don't understand your question.

but the program work with free games if they have trade cards ?

Sort-of. If you unlock those cards from the games then yes it will. Having said this you WILL have to pay about $9 per card to unlock it (you'll also get whatever you bought in-game so it's not $9 per card, but the card unlock is a "bonus" for spending that money. This is to stop people from using free games to get cards infinitely with extra steam accounts).

But i buy "who your dady" and i dont get cards from this game , but the program doesnt starting

"Who your Daddy" has no cards. Idlemaster can't make cards if they're not available on steam.

No you're meant to buy games with MONEY. That will allow you to get more cards, since every game with cards will give you 50% of the cards that game's set needs for 1 level of badge.
