Hello, I wanted to ask a question, perhaps, a similar question was asked many times, but I badly speak english to find it quickly.
Three days ago, I won Evil Maze Game Gallery DLC, but the creator of GA sent the key of the original game, unfortunately, he don't want to remove GA, and later I have to mark Not Received.
Question: This mark somehow affect the account passed the requirements?
Comment has been collapsed.
No. If you mark "not received" it will not affect you.
Comment has been collapsed.
No, that mark as not received won't affect you in any way.
I suggest to tell support about it thought, they can change the giveaway's associated game to the correct one.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the advice.
I often seek the help of SleepyCat.
I'll ask him about it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I asked him about it. Rename GA is impossible, because base game (Evil Maze) removed from the list of GA (Mass Random Giveaway)
And another question: If in the future I will win the same DLC (Evil Maze Game Gallery DLC ) - will it be considered as a multiple win?
In part, this is question for support
Comment has been collapsed.
Suggestion: apply the "Games that cannot be verified as 'Marked as Received' by the winner" list to multiple-win checks as well.
As the diagram below, the user has won the same game twice (one is the bulk group giveaway, while the other is some other guy's regift win) and then regifted one of the copies. I can access the group giveaway and see the person marked as received on it. This, however, is not reflected by sgtools since the bot doesn't have access to any non-public giveaways ('group and/or whitelist', 'invite-only', 'region-restricted').
An improvement could be adding the "can't verify mark as received" in the non-activation checks into multi-win checks too. Also during activation check if someone only has "Games that cannot be verified as 'Marked as Received' by the winner" listed, then there is still a banner showing they activated all the games when it's not supposed to be there.
Comment has been collapsed.
Added to the todo list. The whole "cannot be verified as marked as received" thing it's a clear design fault from sgv2 and I thought it'd be corrected rather quickly. But I guess it'll stay like this for the time being, so it's not a bad idea to extend it to multiple-wins too.

DLCs Wins that appears as not activated
Steam API has problems identifying some owned DLCs, so the following ones are probably activated!
&
Games no longer in steamAPI to check
This category is similar to previous one, but the dlc (most probable case) or game (rare case) is no longer in steam API database.
Don't worry about those, as the text explains is a matter of steam api reporting it wrongly, they are not taken into account for rules.

SGTools shows Duke Nukem 3D as not activated, but I've it in my library as Duke Numkem 3D: Megaton Edition. There's something I should do or activate?
Comment has been collapsed.
The giveaway was for Duke Nukem 3D, but your key is for Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition.
These are different entries in your steam library with different steam-ids. Basically your gifter has send you a different key than their giveaway promised.
Since this looks like just a simple mistake done by the gifter; the best thing would be to contact your gifter, tell them about this and tell them (your gifter) to contact support, so that a support-member can change the giveaway to the right one. (Support -> Create New Ticket -> Change Giveaway Game)
Mark the giveaway as not received until the issue is resolved.
Comment has been collapsed.
Done, but I cannot select Duke Nukem 3D from giveaway select box, so I've created a basic ticket exaplaining the issue
Comment has been collapsed.
Sadly, that won't work.
Your gifter will have to create a ticket. They can also choose the right giveaway from their select box.
You should close your ticket, as support can't answer that one, anyway.
I apologize, if my previous post was confusing, writing in english is tough for me. :/
Edit: edited it a bit. hope it's clearer now :O

Oh.. ok ok.. I'll contact gifter. My english is really bad, sorry =(

I am trying to create a GA, but when I finalize my rules the game doesn't show up on my list of managed GAs.
Also when I check my Real CV sent, it colors every entry green and counts it as a non-bundle GA.
I synched my account. That didn't fix anything.
Comment has been collapsed.
SG changed things today, maybe it is related. Some of my scripts stopped working. Changelog: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/e9zDo/change-log

CG changes on the site broke it, I'll fix it when I get some time today
Comment has been collapsed.
Apparently there are no bundled games anymore :o
Your page returns for CV sent that every game given away is unbundled! lvl10 for almost anybody \o/

I wish i was actually lvl 9 like the CV checker said

New update are flagging valid users as invalid, when I know there not :/

I expected that, thanks for the concrete cases where I'll be able to check :)
I was waiting for someone to report invalid entries to manually check them and compare ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm having the same problem. Shows no valid entries since the update, dates show up as 1/1/1970 9:00:00 AM, and I got a bunch of invalid entries (which I am guessing are probably not actually):

Huh, seems like you fixed it literally just as I posted the above?

It's close to being fixed, but not fully fixed :)
PS: Fixed!

Thank you for the fast fix Knsys! ^^
I see on the SG discussions that script makers also have to fix their scipts after the recent SG update. :3

Sorry for not replying earlier, I appreciate the fast fix!
I noticed I seem to have one invalid entry, however: 2f6ac967-9927-11e6-9621-04019cc0dc01

That invalid entry is a real invalid entry, I just manually checked it.
If you want to report it just tell me and I'll apply the infraction.

SGTools thinks i didn't activate it can that be fixed or something??
do you guys need anything else?
Comment has been collapsed.
You didn't activate it, well kinda.
You were given a different game from the giveaway creator, the classic edition not the revised edition the giveaway says.
Comment has been collapsed.
So what should i do? or can you guys fix that to reflect the proper game?
Comment has been collapsed.
contact the GA creator in the comment section of the GA and tell them its the wrong game & they should fill out a support ticket for "Change Giveaway Game" to the classic version (since it too is gift-able). there's nothing knsys can really do on sgtools end though.
Comment has been collapsed.
^ He is wise, follow his advice.
I can't do anything on sgtools part, because is working as intended.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've just checked my real CV and noticed a most probably rarely occuring issue at the calculation:
My last giveaway was about 10 copies of one game, but only 5 users entered it. Therefore only 5 copies were given away, but SGTools counts all 10 towards the real CV.
So the calculation for giveaways with more than one copy should imho check if the entries have a smaller amount than the copy amount and if so, only count entries amount.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1
in my case it's so minuscule it won't make a difference in actual calculations (something like 0.00386 diff between 46 n' 50copies bundled game), but still i can see in a non-bundled game case (example: hb monthly) causing a significant calculation difference.

Hello, you all.
I just checked a winner at SGTools, and the profile is private.
So far so good. But part of the message at SGtools reads...
"(If it's private ask a Support Member to check it for you)."
Wait, you mean, ask a Support Member at Steamgifts? By creating a New Ticket? Or asking someone at SGTools? Or did I read this wrong?
Cheers, and thanks!

One invalid entry. Thanks for your work!

Your account is flagged as having some unactivated Wins or your profile is Private
I'm getting this message this morning. I cheked with the rule checker of the page and I don't have any unactivated win,and my profile is public. is this happening just to me?
Comment has been collapsed.
OK I syncro and its ok now, but my profile isnever private and I never had an unactivated win.. strange.
Comment has been collapsed.
Steam was down when you synchronized the first time, reporting no owned games.
With a resync when steam is up, as you have seen, it solves itself.
Comment has been collapsed.
is this sgtools not from steamgifts?
i thought its the same created from the same people
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not related to steamgifts.
If it was from the same owner, it would be integrated on the site, not on another domain.
Comment has been collapsed.
damn son
i donated there because i tought i would help steamgifts because i am here every day
damn, i donated a site i never used....
Comment has been collapsed.
I can refund your donation if you want.
Currently there is no way to donate to steamgifts, it has been asked several times but CG doesn't want it.
Comment has been collapsed.
nah its ok, i will try to look what sgtools is doing and than i will try to use it
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not showing as not activated right now. The game is released today, so SGT expects it to be activated, but most likely steam didn't display it as activated until some hours later and that is why it was flagging it.

Hey, I need help with your tool.
I want to create a private giveaway with a custom filtrer:
My game is a region restricted, forbiden for germany. (it's region free but can't be activated in germany).
How I set this custom filtrer?
Thanks.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hello, can you add in lists won/sended info with date of ending the giveaways? It would be helpful. Thanks.
Comment has been collapsed.
Did something change in the last day or so? I was not being flagged for unactivated wins when going through Sgtools, but today I am.
Comment has been collapsed.
you checkout fine to me, probably just a API hiccup.
Comment has been collapsed.
I know there's often trouble with dlc, just was wondering if a change happened due to it coming up now
Comment has been collapsed.
what i mean was during that check that flagged you it probably was glitchy (common due to steams shotty API), because on my end you show everything activated just fine. if it's still flagging you on checks on your end, i'd probably try re-syncing sgtools and see if that helps though.
as far as updates though, knsys will probably still reply later on that, i wouldn't know there though xD
Comment has been collapsed.
Alright it's fixed now, thanks d3m4n for your help
Comment has been collapsed.
As d3m4n already informed you, it's a bug on steam api, where it returns an empty or sometimes partial list of owned games when steam is down or is having one of it's typical fuckups.
The solution is as simple as to resync :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hello! :3.
I was just wondering can you add some filter options for owned & wishlist games on steam and also number of entered giveaways? I would like to create some giveaways and not want games collectors (or anyone who just enter anything) to win them. Don't know if discussed before, but did a quick search, couldn't find anything.
Comment has been collapsed.
It has been asked before at least once, since it's already on the todo list :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Oops. Didn't see a to-do list. Still can't see though.
Btw, I just dreamed about this you're answering me you would not implement that for some reason I don't remember. Was awkward.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh the to-do list is not public, that's why you can't find it :P
I'm not that mean, but this feature will require a little more power on server's part, so I will be able to start looking at it when I get the server upgraded (most probably next month).
Comment has been collapsed.
A "wishlisted before [date]" rule would be awesome! I would use it all the time :D
Thanks.
Comment has been collapsed.
I just implemented it, you'll have to wait 24 hours for everybody to refresh their caches and populate their wishlists on database cache.
I'll update the main post tomorrow with the new keyword for this and number of owned games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yup, I (and presumably others) asked for the "number of games on Steam" filter. I was told it was pretty low priority.
