That's not a malfunction. Idlemaster does not give you any cards, it just encourages steam to give you the cards it would normally wish to. Once steam hits 0 cards for a game, it will skip over to prevent an artificial inflation of your hours pointlessly.

so its still working ? but why steam says i am not in game ?

Because the program by design does not trigger for games with no cards remaining. Most users don't want hours and hours on a game for no reason at all.

As Logic said, we have multiple threads on how to fix this, have you followed all those steps before posting?

I got Vac kick and i cant get back :( In game

If im not mistaken i think you get banned for like a week for being VAC kicked
And if you're still getting VAC'd you have to kill idle master's process to join a match

Incorrect. Simply close CSGO, close idlemaster and reboot steam client, in that order. From there, open your CSGO and do your thing.

I usually do 30 minute idle on all games, then skip every few seconds then do 5 minutes per game for another round. You can go offline steam on a different PC and play games there.

I left it on overnight, got 12 cards. Does that sound right? Also, I heard of an exploit. Do you know anything about that?

That's what eotws stated, the "click spam for several seconds" method. There used to be other things, but eotws is the only one still working.

idle master is like leaving you game on
so no you can't get a VAC ban

I mean, i played 5 min on a VAC secured servers while having IM opened.
Im afraid VAC may detect it as a malicious software or something

It won't. You're not the first to do this. All previous cases just scared themselves out of their mind and months later are still unbanned.

Ursprungligen skrivet av Rocko:

If they ever decide to make idle master banable, will i be affected even though i stop using it since today?

Who knows? Probably not.

Also this program has been out for...four years I think? Been a while.

Nobody has been. You can get a VAC kick (which basically crashes your CSGO) but no ban has ever been issued from Idle master.

In summary:

THANKS VALVE (to the tune of "thanks obama")

Ursprungligen skrivet av eotws:

He applied the fix that I created as a kindness, not to continue development.

This. He literally just took the version eotws made, checked it for anything bad, confirmed eotws had simply fixed it then put it up for all to use. It's not updating. It's discontinued.

Not looking for you to get me on another card farm. And he did update recently, so it is not completely discontinued.

I'm kind of surprised you come on here and tell a MOD "No your wrong" when given information you asked for...
