Idling without cards?

Closed
finanso

So I have weird situation,

On SteamTrade i decided to idle few games. I received 15 keys all were working and I started to dling them. After ~1h I checked progress and I saw that I'm idling only 14 games. 1 game had already over 3h of "idling" and I don't have cards from it. Any suggestions?:/ To keep it fair I will probably have to buy 3 cards for this person. I rechecked that game was added by me today (today I received all 15 keys) and I also rechecked all my trades and community market, unfortunetly I even didn't sell them or trade. Does any1 of you had similar problem?

problem solved: game was added some time ago it was idled and it desapeared so I could redeemed the key now:)

btw if you want to help charity:)!!!

Check if the game is released on Steam yet, if it's not Idlemaster will just stand an roll at the same game..

Doesn't affect ASF, ASF automatically skips unreleased games since a few versions.

I see, heard some people whine about being stuck before.. But cool that it's fixed then :)
Personally I stick with Idlemaster, no offense... It's doing the job for me, If I can avoid other stuff id gladly do so aslong as I can :D

It's your choice what you want to use, I just find it pain in the ass to manually blacklist or skip unreleased games, so I also recommend solving that problem to others.

I know what you mean, but one have to do some work manually :D
I mean Idlemaster can work 24/7 for me, gotta show that I take care of my baby! ;)

You know what, are you sure you didn't get this game before when the dev made a fuck up and added it to all that owned Sleeping Valley?
Then removed it, maybe you already idled it for cards.. Check the badge page if you have any remaining. :)

It's possible you hit the daily drop wall, which apparently still exists. Just leave ASF running and check back tomorrow. Consider switching your idle to "complex" by marking the account as restricted in it's ASF setting file, just in case.

Card drop is dynamic like stated on the wiki, there is no proper time for dropping - you could be idling one game even for 6-7h, or longer if needed.

It's best to set CardDropsRestricted to true if you're unsure if your account is restricted or not - that can speed up things greatly. It's default since a few versions.

(And like stated in FAQ, there is no any other suggestion, apart from abusing Steam network that I do not support)

You don't have to have it - that list is not being updated in real-time. Why do you care that much about the playtime? There is crapload of things that can screw it up, and ASF is the least of the problems here, Steam fuckups are more common than idling.

this game was added to people's library if they owned Sleeping Valley, then later it got removed. so my guess is that you've already idled it before and didn't even notice^^

Oh, I was way off. Sorry. That's odd. I've never had that happen. Does anyone have access to your account? It could just be a Steam glitch though.
