Really? No offense meant, honestly, but you saw the tutorial for Chrome, I'm assuming, yet couldn't figure out how to substitute Chrome with Firefox? Tools, (if you have the menu bar visible) - Options - Privacy - Remove Individual Cookies - Type in "steamcommunity" in the search box. After that, just scroll down until you see sessionid and steamLogin.

I like to pretend I'm a bit of a dumbass, (I actually have an IQ of 157, but when you're a dumbass, people expect less of you and don't ask you for help all the time), and even I, in my dumbass mode, figured it out. Every browser has cookies that can be enabled, (most sites these days seem to require they be enabled, not like the good old days when privacy wasn't a currency that was overbalanced and you could still use every website without having cookies enabled, although admittedly you had to log in to any membership site each and every time you went to it), and you need to get to the cookies, (the names of the specific cookies are entitled the same), so;

Different Browser - Firefox/Waterfox, just for an example,

Firstly, copy the settings.txt file in the folder where you extracted all the files for Idle Master, For example mine is C:-Games-Idle Master - Steam, (The coding on this board doesn't like using backslashes, used to address somewhere on your PC, so I've used hyphens (-) in their place), apparently so obviously the settings.txt file is in there

Now PASTE the file into the SAME folder, yeah, I know it sounds dumb, but trust me, (This is so you have an EXACT copy of the settings.txt file in the state it was when you first downloaded it, handy in case you screw something up)
After pasting the file, either leave the name of the file as is, which should be "settings_2" or rename it, I renamed mine "settings-BACKUP", so I know exactly which file is the one needed. Like I said, in case you screw things up.
Go to the Options (Under the Tools tab on this browser but Options should be easily accessible with any browser),and look for Privacy or History.

Look at the options and see if you can either search the cookies, (ideally this option would be better), or, again, in the case of Water/Firefox, click "Remove Individual Cookies"

Search for steamcommunity

Copy and paste the details for sessionid and steamLogin to the "settings" file of Idle Master. (You can usually leave steamparental = "" sort = "" clear, unless you have "Family View" enabled on your account)

Save the file

Double-click "start.exe"

Ta-daaaaaa!!!

Done. Easy, wasn't it?``

no damn time to download and idle manually

How about ignore if u dun liek?

I might be wrong but it looks like it can't find a dll file, there should be a CSteamworks.dll and a Steam api.dll, (it doesn't like the underscore there in between steam and api, for some reason), in the folder. If one is missing, I'm putting odds on that it's steam api.dll. If that's true, then your antivirus has quarantined/deleted the file. Disable your AV, restore the file, if you can, or download the whole thing again, if needed, and copy the files to the folder again. Open your AV and make an entry in the Exclusion/Ignore/Whitelist for steam api.dll in that folder and then re-enable your AV. If you did it right, it should be fine now

Clear your cookies, cache, temp internet files, etc. Then reboot your PC. When you go on Chrome, log in with your details, remembering to tick "Remember me" and try it again.

It's possible it's just a corrupt cookie, it happens once in a while, or maybe even just a bad sector on your HDD but your cookie just happens to be seated on it, (that would be REALLY unlucky, though), If clearing internet files and privacy doesn't work, next time you reboot your PC, before shutting down, go to your C drive, right-click and go to Properties, then Tools and choose Error-checking. When that box pops up tick BOTH boxes, then next time you get the chance, and you don't need your PC for an hour or so, reboot the PC, then instead of pressing any key to skip disk checking, let it run and see what pops up.....But, like I say, that would REALLY, REALLY, REALLY unlucky and you probably have a better chance of winning a mid to high 5-number win on the Lotto

I meant what I said before, I can connect to you and try to sort it that way. Now you have it in proof of writing here, so if I do screw around with your system or go looking at personal files that I have no reason to look at, you can get me blacklisted by pretty much everybody on this site.

If we do this, with the program I suggested, I swear to you, in front of all the people on this forum, that all I will do is get the right info and sort it out with your firewall. That's it, nothing more, I double check your settings file and sort out your firewall, you have my word. And don't forget, if you see me doing anything suspicious, you can just turn off the connection on your end, which will boot me from the program.

Step by step. As long as you have the Idle Master folder on the desktop:

1. I connect using the User ID and Password that the program gives you and you give me

2. I open Firefox, go to the options and look at your cookies.

3. I open the settings.txt file in the Idle Master folder

4. I copy across the sessionid and steamLogin details.

5. I go to your Firewall through the advanced option in Network and Sharing Centre, (either go through Control Panel or click on the internet icon next to the time).

6. I create rules for the files that need it and save it.

7. We run Idle Master and see if it's working.

There's really no reason to think you'd get banned for this. There's really no way for them to know you're even using it.

If you have to close, just close it.

Idle Master don't generate cards on it's own, Steam does. IM just checks which games still have drops and turns them on.

I was doing the exact same thing using the exact same game. SPAZ was great for this because it was a small install and does not launch full screen. I have since switched to idle master because it switches between games automatically and I don't have to lookup app ids. SPAZ is still useful if you want to idle a specific game for something like Playfire.
