I don't know why this happened, but I'll tell you what I did. I set idlemaster to idle my games simultaneously up to 2 hours, then I put my computer to sleep and went to bed. I gave my phone one last check and I had 27 card drops. I decided to get back on my computer to investigate and most of the games only had 30 minutes of idle time. I set it to sleep again and checked my phone. 17 card drops. I rinsed and repeated because I was onto something. 8 more cards.

Fast forward to now I tried doing it again, but its not dropping cards like last night. Has anyone been able to get it to consistently work? Its happened to me once before.

Should Valve add holographic cards that craft a badge with one card instead of a set?

I think it's like achievements, they can pile up and suddenly drop at once.
Probably buggy steam servers.

It can lead to some people getting accused of faking achievements because they all drop at the same time:)

Had a blue screen twice, after restarting the pc, idlemaster is bugging saying currently in game yet it doesn't show any game picture.
And all of the sudden i got 26 cards in my inventory, while before the crash none, somehow there is still something going on here.
Downside even after redownloading it's now bugged that it won't idle anything else.

Not like i do it all the time, but no apparently it's still relevant, thought it was a one time steam server screw up but apparently it might be idlemaster doing this.

Apparently if you idle alot at the same time for 2 hours, ti think those disappeared for me and as oldman82 said they might pile up.

I think is a bug on the server side. Managed to do it with steam itself.
Was playing a game, shutdown the PC.
Entered steam again and bamp! new card.

It happens because Steam as usual. There is no consistency to it or anything you can really do so just switch to ASF and let it idle everything for you.

Goes to try this. Gets no cards despite having drops. Feels depressed.

Not all games do this , and you need to skip the current game . Also 2+ hours per game (Managed to get from 2k drops to 200 drops in a week or so)

I find it amazing that people fail to understand a joke when they hear it.

That happened to me twice... when I was idling ridiculous amount of games at the same time.

You just get the first card drop from the game from all of them for some reason ....not entirely sure why .

But both times it as when I was idling 100+ games
