Development of the program ceased a while back. Consequently some games aren't detected and you'll have to use another method to idle them (unless you're a coder and can fix idlemaster, which a surprising number of people HAVE done)

You need to be logged on. Try Archi's steam farm if you want a program which doesn't need to be logged on the PC to farm.

Same problem, but I have other games that still have cards to be caught

Idlemaster's ceasation of development means this may happen sometimes. You'll have to idle them the old fashioned way or look for another program which idles.

Shadok, would you know the answer to: Steam is not running? I've tried to run them both as admin, didn't work.

Yeah that's a glitch in installation. You have to uninstall the program, then go to C/users/YOURNAME/appdata/local and delete the "Idlemaster" folder left there (it's leftovers which the uninstall doesn't remove and will cause the same error to come up again and again until removed).

At this point re-download the installer or pocket-edition of Idlemaster and reload it. This should repair the program.

Please screenshot your badges list showing the games with unclaimed cards. They're the games with "X card drops remaining". All others should say "No drops remaining" or similar.

Do you have any games that drop cards and have not yet dropped all the cards? You can check on your badges page. If all of the cards have already dropped, Idle Master cannot get any more cards for you.

Idlemaster is not some card-giving hack-program. What it does is scan your profile for any unclaimed cards FROM STEAM/Valve and then fakes you "playing" that game to allow you to claim them with minimum effort.

Thus the solution is "Buy more games which have cards". Or else join giveaway groups and grab any free games they give away.

And this is all in the FAQ. Read the FAQ, it has helpful information.

You need to buy more games to idle cards from them.

This. Idlemaster isn't some hacking program. It just gives you the cards Valve is already offering you.

Buy more games which are flagged as having trading cards. Or find giveaways for these games. Either way will get you results.

This is not error with Idlemaster.

Idlemaster does not "give" you cards. Steam gives you the cards. Idlemaster just checks what Steam has "waiting" and speeds it up. You need to buy more games with cards.

It's like a car. You can't drive your car without fuel. Your idlemaster has no fuel left.
