Steam Game Idler - An all-in-one alternative to ArchiSteamFarm and Steam Achievement Manager

Thank you mate!

Appreciate it mate, thank you!

Awesome. Let me know if you have any feedback.

Unsure what issue you're referring to mate?

Thank you mate, I appreciate it. I've actually just released v2.0.0 which overhauls the UI completely, and (IMO) is much nicer than before. Let me know what you think if you check it out.

Regarding your Steam Credentials, the only thing I can think of is that you're getting the credentials from https://store.steampowered.com/ and not https://steamcommunity.com. They both have sessionid and steamLoginSecure, but we specifically need the ones from https://steamcommunity.com

Double check that, feel free to follow this guide if you haven't already https://steamgameidler.com/docs/steam-credentials

If that still doesn't work, make sure you don't have any Family View enabled https://store.steampowered.com/parental/set and also make sure you have Steam Guard enabled https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/06B0-26E6-2CF8-254C#enableemail

Don't add that game to the achievement unlocker. Achievement unlocker will only work on games you actually add to its list.

If you want to unlock only those 6 achievements, then I would recommend manually unlocking them using the achievement manager instead.

Hey mate, thanks for checking SGI out and leaving your feedback. I appreciate it.

Hmm, so when you are farming cards and then refresh the client by either pressing F5 or right-clicking and selecting "refresh"

May I ask why you're manually refreshing the frontend? I wouldn't recommend doing this while any of the features are running for this exact reason. Refreshing SGI doesn't stop the already idling games, which is why you still see them in idling games after the refresh. But it will stop the card farming feature as its running state is stored temporarily in "session", basically. Refreshing the frontend clears the session and its states. It's worth noting that it isn't actually creating duplicate idling processes for those games though, it's just a frontend thing.

I could probably do some extra checks before card farming starts to prevent this, but I think the more robust option would be to disable the ability to refresh the frontend via those methods instead, as it's almost guaranteed to break something.

It would also be nice to see a list of games with remaining card drops before pressing "start card farming".

I probably won't add this as a feature, as this is already possible via the https://steamcommunity.com/my/badges/ page, which is easy enough to pull up and view. That, and SGI wouldn't be able to provide any more information than what that page can show you anyway.

The the free games section. Nice feature. But ... are the free games I already added to my account going to be hidden at some point?

This should already be the case. Make sure you refresh your games list by going to Your Games > Refresh

SGI checks the Steam store for the current free games, and then checks your locally stored games_list.json to filter out games you already own. So if your games list data is not up to date, free games might show you games you already own.

Thanks again!

Thanks for checking it out mate, glad you've found it useful!

Hey mate, in v2.1.0 I removed the theme switch and made dark theme the default, as it was becoming too much effort having to account for multiple themes when adding new features to SGI.

I may reintroduce themes again in the future when SGI is in more of a "finished" state, and I'm not actively adding new features. But as of now, SGI will only have the one dark theme.

Thanks for giving SGI a try. I'm definitely not in the business of "stealing data" and "shady stuff" lol, so you're safe.

Also: why bet on a new horse when others tried and tested over years are in the race?
