which kind of web server do i need for 24 hours online idle?
this needs .net framework right?
will i get problems with linux?

No web server will satisfy ASF needs - you need Linux VPS with Mono framework installed.

I followed the steps, but does not work for me it shows Global config could not be loaded, please make sure config\ASF.json exists and is valid!
ASF - Config generator says no directory found.

Then you didn't follow the steps and you don't have config directory with ASF.json next to ASF.exe.

Because one of your maFiles is invalid - ASF clearly states that in the log.

You can't fix it manually, you need to export properly, like stated in the wiki. You did it properly with one account, so now repeat with another one, or do the same for both of those and compare resulting files.

So i deleted both maFiles from config and copied and pasted new ones in config and now it does not show anything else but only farming. Sorry if annoying.

If your bot already has ASF 2FA enabled, then it won't pick up new file, you must delete appropriate bot.db to force re-add.

Ok done.Thanks for your patience and kindness.You were very helpful.Just wanted to know if you can make a software that automatically makes booster packs of games we feed in it?
Comment has been collapsed.
No problem, glad you solved your issue.
I can, but that's out of scope of ASF as I'm being paid for doing such requests, and usually I don't offer such things on SG either as I have my prices which are probably out of budget for majority of people (I have too many projects to do cheap coding these days). Unless you want to pay like 30$ for having such feature in your own private ASF version, then we can talk further.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sorry but one more question, when I send trade offer I do not receive any confirmation message on SDA what should I do? and you code all of this on c++?
Comment has been collapsed.
ASF is coded fully in C#, not C++. And it's normal that you won't receive confirmations if ASF is handling particular case - that's why you added ASF 2FA in the first place.

Hi, Archi, I just found a small issue, regarding the game Dungeon Defenders:
ASF stopped farming it after 2 card drops, but the set has 7, so there're 2 more left.
My badge page: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198126971055/gamecards/65800 (with a screenshot below as further proof)
Steam Card Exchange page: http://www.steamcardexchange.net/index.php?gamepage-appid-65800
By the way, the game got cards added just a month ago, and the store page hasn't been updated to reflect it yet, so the issue might be on the dev's part. I don't know if you were already aware about it, so just ignore this comment in that case.
Weeb :3
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess there's no way to retrieve the log after it's been overwritten, am I right? But I'm way under MaxFarmingTime (it's set to 10h).
To be honest, I just discovered the "missing card drops" today, after checking my badges page.
The (partial) farming was done the day cards were added, as I left ASF running overnight to farm some cheap bundle games.
Anyway, I think I might have solved the issue: I added the game to the blacklist, I farmed other games, then I removed it.
ASF is currently farming Dungeon Defenders, although I'm sure I'll need to raise MaxFarmingTime, as the first 2 cards took almost 5 hours to drop.
Comment has been collapsed.
There should be no need to raise MaxFarmingTime, default value should be enough even for longer games, plus it's still only "per session", if you restart ASF then MaxFarmingTime is counted from beginning, so ASF will eventually farm that title, in worst case - in two runs.

Update your Windows 7 to SP1 first, then install .NET 4.6.1 or 4.6.2, as stated in the wiki.
If you're running ASF with unsupported version of .NET framework then you're risking issues plus you're out of support.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey Archi,
I''ve been getting this strange behaviour for a while now:
when it's farming card and I launch a game I get a Steam window with the message "Completing installation... %" (see pic attached) which never disappear, thus not starting the game.
Closing this window and re-launching the game, manually stop the farm, or shutting down ASF do not work, the only solution is to restart Steam.
I have ASF running on a different computer than the one where I play (this one), don't know if this can be the reason..
NEW: I was trying to be as more detailed as possible and just got this hunch (while writing this comment) that it could be something caused by putting my main laptop on stand-by (I recall a similar behaviour with Telegram, where it wouldn't record vocal message after stand-by if not restarted). I'll do a couple more tries and let you know if it's affected by this.
Do you think it's a general ASF problem or just a problem of my hw/sw?
Comment has been collapsed.
Not connected with ASF in any way. ASF does not interfere with your steam client.
Comment has been collapsed.
i think this happens when the steam servers are overloaded, and you somehow remain stuck in a game(in this case the one you are farming via asf)....after some time it will work again normaly
Comment has been collapsed.
nothing to do with ASF I have it running on a different computer to the one I use day to day - the item in your image is associated with the steam installer program only - you may want to uninstall and reinstall steam - otherwise it is something to do with the game requireing something that is missing on your system - such as an old game requiring an earlier dx version and steam failing to find or install said required components or the installer failing to terminate the installer program correctly

I'm receiving the next error: Unable to login to Steam: InvalidPassword / InvalidPassword

the obvious one is that you have not put the correct password into the steam config - and/or failed to put the steam auth key in from steamguard - if you are using steam authenticator app

I'm using the same config since more than 10 months.

best I can say is to uninstall, download the latest version and reinstall all over again - just in case - try that first :) - also just check in windows firewall and/or your own firewall to check, if for some reson, it is now blocked (although a reinstall might solve all)

I really want to use this program but I have a Mac and have no idea how to work Mono. I downloaded it but am getting very confused with Terminal which I have only used a few times in the past. If anyone could offer some step by step advice I would appreciate it greatly!
Comment has been collapsed.
- Do everything as it's stated in the wiki and setting up.
- Once you're asked to launch ConfigGenerator, open terminal, navigate to the directory where ASF is located (with
cdcommand), then start ConfigGenerator withmono ASF-ConfigGenerator.execommand. - Once you're asked to launch ASF, open terminal, navigate to the directory where ASF is located, then start ASF with
mono ASF.exe.
Everything else is platform-independent, and above instructions are same for Linux users.

Thanks so much! I tried a few more things and it seems to be working now. Mono had a bit of an issue during the tutorial but it's still working. Is there a way to watch the rest of the tutorial if it was cut off? I only got to the part where it was talking about enabling the account and I would like to read the rest of the tutorial. Particularly in relation to trading since I have 2 accounts and would like to automatically trade cards from one account to the other. Thanks again!

Issue found, not sure if it has been posted yet or if there is a fix already (short of removing everything and redoing the configs from scratch). I was farming cards for three games when I noticed that the farming restriction seems to be over on my account (got some after only an hour), so I went to use the Config Generator to update the settings. Was told the version I had didn't match and was sent to this page to get up to date files. After replacing all my files and updating the configs, I now get this when trying to use the software, despite having cards available.

Did I miss a new feature where foils aren't sent automatically? I was wondering about a shortage of cards some time ago, but now unlazied enough to start checking accounts. Found 1 foil on one which ASF isn't sending and !loot says Nothing to send.
Nvm, I did, time for morning coffee before wondering about things.
Could ASF edit the config files to add new options with the default choice, making it easier to notice and edit when something changes?
Comment has been collapsed.
not sure if in the last version of second last version, but foils are sent only if the account is set to bot

Yeah, read the changelogs after whining and upgraded configs. I guess I should punish Archi for this by giving cards to Archibot instead of him!

Could ASF edit the config files to add new options with the default choice, making it easier to notice and edit when something changes?
Nope, by design all ASF configs are read-only and ASF never touches them. This is especially to ensure extra security and make sure nobody edits them, as it's possible to chmod them 400 on Linux (or even chattr +i).
Comment has been collapsed.
Not a real issue on single-user Windows tho. But I guess I can manage complaining, figuring it out and using Notepad++ to add lines to all config files since this isn't happening too often. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You can do that or do the same with ConfigGenerator, it regenerates file structure once you change something. But bat script or mass edit in Notepad++ will be always faster if you have many bots, regardless of how I make it in GUI.

No offence intended or wanting to start a fight or polemic, but I aways fear a bit that the more "tricks" apear to people farm cards and stuff in less or more genuine ways, more people will be doing it till someone start noticing it and steam have to do something about.
I can see the tempting of making fake accounts to farm cards with those extra keys we aways get from bundles, and will not lie to say I never thought about that myself.
And Archi is just being helpful making easier something people are already doing, so not blaming him on anything for that. (To be helpful is hardly a bad thing)
Still I can't avoid to see and fear that someday giving trouble, both to people genuinely trying to get their cards on their single accounts because new mechanics to avoid people doing "tricks" (like the extra 4 hours or farming after people started getting games to sell cards and them asking refund) and for the people who create bundles who will be a focus both of the "trickers" and from the regulators.
Of course on those fake accounts money is still going on to devs, steam, and bundle makers as games are purchased and cards tax are still there when sold, but as happens with every business that is just just border legal, sometimes soon or later it become a issue.
Again, really not trying to start fights or polemics, just throwing a penny about the auto farming multiple accounts for cards thing.
Comment has been collapsed.
that is just just border legal.
Which part exactly is border legal? Because from what I know owning multiple steam accounts is officially permitted by Steam ToS and Valve, while owning a game makes you eligible for card drops by definition, so I'd really like to see official points in ToS that specify such illegal activity.
Comment has been collapsed.
I never said illegal, but still I don't believe making multiple "unused" accounts for cards farming was on the plan when valve developed the cards idea. Of couse could be that was on their original idea and I'm just wrong here too.
As I said, the money is flowing, and that make it good for the business, but may or may not happens of someday someone get "Hmm that's wasn't how we planed it to run, maybe we should do something about that", and I can't avoid to worry a little bit about that making life of everyone a bit harder.
I believe never was anything on ToS about getting cards and after it asking refund on games, but here we are with 4 extra hours.
And for other issues now we have the almost obligatory mobile authenticator that make life of everyone that don't have a Android/iOS a bit harder for trading and marketing. (Yeah there's "other ways" of doing mobile authentification for those, but it's still harder than was before when wasn't needed at all)
Again, never said to be against the rules or ToS, but if we would list every "trick" people did that wasn't against the rules and ToS and later everyone had to pay when companies did something to end the "tricks", we would have a long long long list.
And once more, not blaming you on doing a software that help people do what they were already doing anyway, just ranting about what they are doing and I worry that soon or later may make their and other people lives harder.
A tool is a tool, the issue is just what people do with the tools.

Btw my phrase was "but as happens with every business that is just just border legal" (with a extra just there, I was sleep or something XD) that short version kinda make it sound as I was accusing someone for something.
As I said before, not trying to start fights, polemics or accusing anyone from nothing.

As said just above, never said to be illegal, and only if something being illegal or not would be the only reason (or something needed) to companies change stuff for worse for people. ^^'

Why should steam care? Thats way better for them, than everyone needing to download the games to farm. And devs don't care as well.
If you go the "right" way, meaning downloading and letting the game run, steam only pays traffic and devs get less money, because less people would do it.
Only if you were actually forced to play the game, devs would be helped a bit. But again. Then so many less people would farm cards and even with higher card prices, devs would get less money.
So basically most devs and steam are happy if as many as possible people farm cards.
And you always talk about fake account... My first alt, was because I wanted to sort my gift inventory and steam didn't let me ;->
In addition you need to pay 5$ to even farm cards on new accounts.
Comment has been collapsed.
Again, as long the money if flowing to Steam and Dev, probably no one will worry mutch, true and true. And I don't see mutch issue about the part of iddling games not needing to download and run it, for steam is pretty mutch the same as if someone just had downloaded it and run the game so pretty mutch the same indeed. I even like software like iddlemaster or Archi one that iddle for us, is a great tool indeed.
Now the fake accounts, alt accounts, or any kind of multiple accounts, those I'm not sure how ok I feel about, you said your FIRST was to sort your inv, and by so I can guess you now have other ones for other reasons right?
Anyway most of people doing multiple accounts have their own reasons for that, usualy "tricks" to have some kind of advantage on something, "smart" advatages through "tricks" most of time (well even here on SG, someone using multiple accounts to have more chances on every giveaway), those "smart tricks" while not aways against ToS and rules, most of the time is to get some advantage that not everyone would see as regular, and now that is my fear.
Someday someone on Steam or anywere else just decide that should be done something about those people using multiple accounts, and BLAM everyone, multiple accounts or not, start needing to deal with extra problems just to have their simple steam accounts working. Most of them people who never dealed with multiple accounts or did any kind of "smart tricks".
Comment has been collapsed.
Jeha, now I have 4 alts (one still limted). And to be honest. Farming cards is only a sideeffekt.
One to store new cards and sell them (main), one to store cards I want to craft badges (so STM loads faster) one to hold the full sets, one to hold the cards I want to craft, but don't have enough for a full set and one to hold cards I don't want to sell AND don't want to craft (yet).
Steam just gives way to less possibilities to sort your inventory and it loads pretty slow with 1k or 10k+ items.
The games I farm there, are mostly free games I got from entering a "random" key giveaway, where i was missing one of the 5 possible games, but always get one I already have. Since noone wants these games...
Btw. Using multiple accounts on SG is against the rules. People doing that will get banned.
And as I said, downloading a game is traffic = cost for steam.
There are only two reasons for steam to forbid something
- it either costs them money directly
- it makes most people unhappy and costs them money indirectly
Since the whole steamtradingcard thing brings money, we should be fine. I see your fear, but there are way more other "tricks" that will be taken care of first. If devs don't want to be part of this, they don't have to implement cards. But everyone wants to, since it's so much money.

It will be answered, as I'm trying to answer every message - even those without valid log and hiding the information of having unsupported .NET runtime when ASF clearly states that you WILL encounter issues and you're using it at your own risk.

thank you, still wonder why is plain set as default option?

Because you should protect access to your config files as it's done on Linux/OS X OSes and not make it harder for yourself to store the data - that's what chmods are for. Password encryption saves no purpose as ASF still must be able to decrypt it - so attacker can do the same.

What can someone even do if they hack your windows and steal your passwords? Add more games to your alts and farm them? Easier for them to just make their own.

Yeah main accounts ofc need more protection, should probably encrypt mine as well. It's just that if someone ever got access to my PC, they could steal so much more like credit card and online banking info, so losing couple cards wouldn't even matter that much. :)

Comment has been collapsed.
ASF is a C# application that allows you to farm steam cards using multiple steam accounts simultaneously. Unlike Idle Master which works only for one account at given time, requires steam client running in background, and launches additional processes imitating "game playing" status, ASF doesn't require any steam client running in the background, doesn't launch any additional processes and is made to handle unlimited steam accounts at once. In addition to that, it's meant to be run on servers or other desktop-less machines, and features full cross-OS support, which makes it possible to launch on any .NET Core-supported operating system, such as Windows, Linux or OS X. ASF is possible thanks to gigantic amount of work done in marvelous SteamKit2 library.
ASF doesn't require and doesn't interfere in any way with Steam client. In addition to that, it doesn't require exclusive access to given account, which means that you can use your main account in Steam client, and use ASF for idling the same account at the same time. If you decide to launch a game, ASF will get disconnected, and resume idling once you finish playing your game, being as transparent as possible during entire process.
