If you've reset steam between your last use of idlemaster and your loading of CSGO then it's no-longer a case of Idle doing anything. The flag it sets which Valve detects ends the moment that Steam reboots (although you may need to exit steam and close it with task manager to ensue it's COMPLETELY gone).

Might I suggest verifying your game cache? It sounds like you have a problem in your CS:GO files.

Sadly idlemaster cannot cope with multiple accounts at once, barring the use of sandboxie (and even then it's just running multiple idle-masters+ accounts, not truly idlemaster multitasking).

Using the newest version? Known bug if you're using an older, un-updated version of idlemaster.

If you mean one by one, yeah we've not yet had any issues from someone idling upward of hundreds of games. So there's no risk there.

If you mean simultaneous, we're not entirely sure. We've never had an issue of up to 30 games simultaneous idling, but we've never had someone dedicated to trying a higher number either. The program will cap you by default at 30 because of this, but you can override it if you decide that you want to trailblaze. Just we'll not hold any accountability for what comes as a result.

If you're using the same computer for both then no, since idlemaster seems to false-flag on VAC and cause an error because of Valve's stupidly tight scanning system.

But if you mean on 2 different computers you can go hog wild.

Might not apply to steam sale, IDK.

Nope, excluding them obtaining cards via paying the $5 to become not-limited. If they pay $10 in that way they'll get 1 card like a normal account.

Granted that's because at that point they're a normal account...

You only get 50% of a single badge for free. Once you got that drop, you get nothing further. Ever. At 638 hours, you got your 3 drops a looooooooooooong time ago.

Also we have answered this so many times that it's more effort to do so again than for you to look into other threads about vac and see these previous replies. Your attitude isn't all that nice considering we are volunteers who get nothing for helping you.

But to answer, short version is that idle.master doesn't link to the vac server by itself. So unless you play a vac game while idling, the risk is zero.

Yes it'll do it, but it'll not connect to the VAC server, so it doesn't even show up as a blip on Valve's ban-dar.

Short answer: No. But don't go antagonising Valve.
