knsys, there's an issue with guns of icarus.
the beta was given away and later the full game, but both use the same ID so it shows up in multiple wins.
beta: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Jc46L/
full game: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/WcDZ1/
example (let me know if you need the real name to test it)
Comment has been collapsed.
Interesting... how come they have the same ID? That is really strange :\
I'll add an exception to beta's once I have time :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I made a quick change to ignore Beta games from Multiple Wins checker.
Could you check the problematic user again?

I cant see the type box where you type the username. I'm n an ipad if that helps.
Comment has been collapsed.
Which ipad and which iOS version? I can see it fine with my ipad2 and ipad air 2.
When you say "can't see the type box" what do you mean exactly? It's not there?

I've give away 8 games, but the calculator sees only 7 , why ?? Is taking more time to refresh ? http://www.sgtools.info/sent/LightManIs

Extracted from Contribution Levels FAQ:
If a giveaway is invite only, or for a whitelist or Steam group, it will only add value towards your level if it receives 5 or more entries.
You can read the rest here. Btw a private giveaway with only 1 entry seems kind of... strange

Probably not a false positive, but I had a winner who has Dishonored GOTY (http://store.steampowered.com/sub/31292/) showing as unactivated, while he has Dishonored (RU) (http://steamcommunity.com/app/217980) in his library.
Comment has been collapsed.
That is... problematic.
It was a region restricted giveaway?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think so. There's nothing in the giveaway the marked it as such.
Comment has been collapsed.
My guess would be that Steam simply transformed the ROW key into an RHCP one (RU if you like it that way) due to Beth being an arse. And since, similarly to Fallout NV, Dishonored has 2 store pages (RU and ROW), the tool shows the ROW version as unactivated.
Comment has been collapsed.
Steam does convert the gifts? That's a really bad move on their part.
The whole problem is that he/she won a Row game, the tool looks at the package (it's actually a package) and checks one by one the elements of the package against the user's own games. Since the package was RoW, it looks for the RoW version of Dishonored, that's why it can't find it.
The question is, that user really activated the RoW gift? Or he just had the RU version an used that to avoid activating that gift in particular?
Comment has been collapsed.
As I said, it's based on the assumption that the winner activated his won copy. I'm not gonna hurl accusations without knowing the case, but it is a fact that the RHCP lock on Beth games is a bit more complicated than the average one (long story short: Beth one said fcuk central and eastern Europe, some small Russian company came and offered to distribute TES, FO and Dishonored, Beth agreed but forced a region lock, separate store page and community hub and of course same price as for ROW).
Comment has been collapsed.
Let's see if we get more reports about more bethesda games changing from RoW to RU on redeem.
Since it's a "Goty" edition and people always look at those for false positives we can leave it like it's now until we get proper intel.
Comment has been collapsed.
I just encountered a similar issue with another Bethesda game. I see a user who has "Fallout: New Vegas" shown as not activated, but he/she does have it in their library.
The version marked by sgtools as unactivated: https://steamdb.info/app/22380/
The version in this user's library: https://steamdb.info/app/22490/
Comment has been collapsed.
So it seems that it's a real problem for Bethesda games.
The problem is that if we want to solve it in a nice way, we should create an appid equivalence table for all problematic games manually.
I'll do the implementation part when I get some free time, so if you know more cases just write them here to add them later.
Thanks for the report :)

Fallout 4 is another Bethesda game that gives false positives, but I think the reason is that it's not out yet, so users can't have it in their library even if they won the game. They need to wait for it to be publicly available. In the last few days I encountered several profiles of good members who have this issue.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes this is a problem with all pre-released games, nobody owns them because they are not public but they have and appid. So at the end the tool sees that you won a game with XXXX appid and you don't have it in your owned list, so it marks it as not received.
Common sense tells you that this game in particular is not for sale yet, so I don't think anybody will miss a name like FO4. I can temporally whitelist it like Mighty number 9, but FO4 release is near the corner, right?
Comment has been collapsed.
You're right. It's best that people would use common sense, only problem is that it's not common enough ;-)
I assume there's no API that allows you to identify games that are in pre-release state?
Comment has been collapsed.
There is a release date in FO4 json, I'll look if it's something just for pre-released games or if it's general.
Right now I cache apps, so if it's something that is shared across all games, I'll add a field in the db for it.
Comment has been collapsed.
New pre-releases games entries in db will work automatically (not showing as not activated untill it's release date).
Old ones have to be marked by hand until I have time to think and write a decent cron-job to auto-update them in batches without interfering with sgtools service (yes, server's hardware is that tight and it has a 6k appid's cache right now).
Comment has been collapsed.
Valve couldn't solve it in a nice way, and this thing actually causes massive issues in the client.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can have both editions active, but it causes the client to completely go bonkers, and all users who experience this issue (people from our region getting a ROW key or someone buying from Russians) MUST get one of them removed. And Valve usually removes the one not for your region, no matter what you ask.
Comment has been collapsed.
Valve never stops to amuse me, how can they be that incompetent? I mean they are a huge and extremely successful business...
Their API is a mess, but what's outside of the API is not much better. Yesterday looking at the tool's logs I found that several packages include the same game more than once!
Comment has been collapsed.
It's because their system is built so one can game have several repositories for regional differences, but they never calculated that two games can have the exact same name because a publisher demands this way. I mean look at Capcom, they have two rather different versions on the RE games in the store, but they never asked for separate appIDs, Steam itself does all the work based on geolocation and credit card region.
But no, Bethesda was adamant on this, because this was the only way to delay the release of the games in the CIS region (which, according to their rather strange map, encompasses several EU countries…).

Thanks to Yirg pointing it out.
Its me having false showing not activated "Fallout: New Vegas" would appreciate if it would get fixed :)

Can there be added checkbox for not counting won GAs if it had less than required number of entries for "real won CV"? after all total real won CV of everyone should be equal to total real sent CV. Not mentioning the "5+ copies", that would be a bit problematic in this.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've been putting this off, but I feel like I should mention it now before I get blacklisted by more people. ;)
Mighty No. 9 keeps getting delayed, so even though I have activated it, it shows up as a false positive. While it does show up in my own library, it does not show up when you try to look for whether or not I own it in my list of games.
Not sure what can be done about it since it seems like it's more of a Steam problem, but still worth mentioning. :)

Added to the whitelist, can you please remind me to remove it once it gets released on steam? :)

Looks like I'm flagged again as having a non-activated win.

Done! I extended the release date until end of the year, since they don't put a fixed release date on steam and let's assume it, HL3 will be released before Mighty Number 9 :P

The tooltip report on total value split doesn't seem to be working for me any more. For instance, when I hover over my total, I get an alt text of "1,545.35#321.86#105.00#299.00" instead of the nice table I used to get. Have I messed something up?
The Chrome console shows:
Uncaught TypeError: $(...).tooltip is not a function tooltipbd.js:20
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for a great tool, much appreciated...
Can you please add a description on "Non Activated" page, explaining other reasons that can give false positive like:
Steam downtime: https://steamstat.us/ and
Private profiles: http://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/qlRXQHX
While I was checking some profiles lately I've come to those and checking manually differed from listed. Adding that reasons might save tickets for the ones who could not think those might be why the profile they checked gives false non-activated wins.
Thanks again.
Comment has been collapsed.
I checked my username and the OP username and got many false positives so it seems to me it's broken right now.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's broken for me too. Right now all of my won gifts show up as false positives there.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, same here. I just took a look at my own profile on there a few minutes ago, and it showed that I had a bunch of non-activated wins, which made me go "Wait, what? All of these are activated on my account, wtf?!?"
Hopefully they are able to figure out the cause of this and get it fixed. Also, hopefully people using it do some due diligence and don't haul off blacklisting and reporting people because the tool is currently slightly bugged.

The problem is on Steam API end :\
Steam is failing to give proper service those last days and that affects the tool (gives partial info or no info at all).

Unfortunately it's not a problem on sgtools end, steam api is responding badly to request (partial info or no info at all).

Something appears off. Currently showing quite a few games (not DLC) under the DLCs Wins that appears as not activated section.

I've changed how packages are checked, so it's possible.
Can you add me to steam and send me some names that trigger the bug?
EDIT: Fixed, thank for the report!

This site uses a whitelist for not showing those games, if you find one please report it in the Official forum thread.
I found a user where your tool says that "Trine 2: Complete Story" isn't activated.
After checking his profile, I found Trine 2 in his games list.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can you link me to the appid the user has and the one that he won? Trine 2 made a strange movement when releasing the Complete Story and I'm quite sure there is a mess with appids. Now on the store I can only find complete story so if you have the appids at hand please post them here.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm not complete sure what you mean. I hope this is the info you seek for:
The game (Trine 2: Complete Story) that sgtools shows as not activated links to:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/35720/
The game from his game list (Trine 2) also redirects to the same page.
(http://store.steampowered.com/app/35720/)
So I guess the answer is 35720 for both.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah this error comes from Goblin Menance and Complete Story "not so complete" sharing the same appid.
I'll add it to the whitelist, thanks for the report

Check vs Mate shows up as a false positive when mapped to Battle vs Chess, but since the names are dissimilar, I thought it really hadn't been activated and asked for a re-roll of the winner of a recent GA of mine.
Is there a way to have the tool look for both if Check vs Mate is supposed to be activated?

It's on the way, a similar thing happens when RU people activate a RoW package from bethesda. They get the RU version of the base game added to their account instead of the corresponding RoW one.
When I have some free time I'll make an equivalence table
Comment has been collapsed.
I love this tool but I feel like there should be the same requirements as the won ratio. For example, if I give away a game and only 4 people enter I don't get CV, but the person that wins it gets full CV for the game they win. I feel this isn't fair on the winner (This has also happened to me). It just makes tracking ratio difficult because I tend to forget about that factor :/

Now won games will only show and count private/group/whitelist giveaways with 5+ entries and all public giveaways (the same as sent games).

A possible false positive for you... I only found out because I was blacklisted by a few people for it.
I won King Arthur Collection which no longer has its own store page.
and it says I don't have:
King Arthur II: The Role-Playing Wargame http://store.steampowered.com/app/24480
I don't have a win for that game.
Thanks for the tool though. It's amazing.
Comment has been collapsed.
It does have a store page here.
As you can see "King Arthur II: The Role-Playing Wargame" is part of the package and that's why the tools tries to find it in your library.
Steamcharts reports activity for the game, so that game should be visible from the API. Can you check that you really have it? Maybe the giveaway owned didn't give you the whole package?
Comment has been collapsed.
That collection has a whole bunch of individual games and DLC. I have one item in my steam account called "King Arthur Collection"

hey, seems like there is an error, i got lvl and sg tools said i am still lvl 3 (probably SG fixed something with bundled games date or fixed change of cv according to change game steam price)

It should be fixed once the bundled cache list auto-updates next time.
Now bundle cache expects changes in bundled date, before it was assuming changes would never happen.

Dawn of Discovery™ is showing up as not activated on SGTools for me because it activates as Anno 1404, and indeed this is what it will show up as on my games list. I believe it's a difference between North America and Europe.
Store pages:
Dawn of Discovery™ - http://store.steampowered.com/app/33210/
Anno 1404 - http://store.steampowered.com/app/33250/ (which is where the store link from my library takes me) (it then seems to redirect to the dawn of discovery store page)
Further info on game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_1404

Hey there, I am getting a false positive in non-activated wins. The game in question is the Pirates of Black Cove which in my library shows as the Pirates of Black Cove Gold. Thank you for your awesome work!
Game on store
The version in my library has no store page.
Comment has been collapsed.
Pirates of the Black Cove Gold is actually a different product that is no longer in the store. If that is the game you received then the giveaway was mis-identified.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, that's annoying but there is not helping it now I guess. Thanks for the info.
Comment has been collapsed.
Since "pirates of the black cove gold" is a super-set of "pirates of the black cove" you are fine.
I'm testing the equivalence function and when it's finished it should be marked as activated.
