Hello, I have translation problem - just a mess of unread text. Here screen https://imgur.com/a/KumxufH I am using version 3.4.2.2, Windows 7 in russian language and setup "CurrentCulture" as "ru". How to fix it?

Похоже на проблемы с кодировкой. Проверьте что в Панель управления -> Региональные настройки -> Дополнительно -> Язык программ не использующих Юникод стоит русский язык. Названия пунктов писал по памяти, возможно немного не так называются, но думаю найдёте.

If your OS is already in Russian then I have no clue why you changed CurrentCulture in the first place, just remove it.
If your OS isn't in Russian then very likely you're missing extra console fonts to display cyrilic characters properly, you can probably find some pack on google regarding this.
In any case this is nothing to fix in ASF, it's your OS not being capable to display characters in the culture you're using properly.

Tried already remove CurrentCulture - dont work. I installed some extra fonts - still dont work. But I found fix: need right click on ASF window in top, select properties, go to fonts tab and change default font. In my case was needed just change font (btw, its called Terminal) size.

Thank you for the great work
i'm just wondering if we can idle many games in the same time
(idle master was running each 30 games in the same time)
also i have noticed that i only get card drop after i close the game (close ASF in this way)
so is there any way to make the bot changes the game it idle each 5-10 minutes?
Thanks again

Why is ASF recommending max. 10 bots? Have there been recently any issues with Valve?
Comment has been collapsed.
Not actual issues, it's just Archi had a chance to read some internal Valve docs, where clearly stated that users allowed up to 10 accounts. It does not means that now all users who have more than 10 accs will be banned, nothing actually changed, but to be on the safe side it's recommended to follow this limit.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, as long as they are "internal" rules, I think no one should worry as there is no such ToS that says how many accounts a user can have.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's up to you after all. ASF not limits you in any way, just warns you that this limit exist.
Comment has been collapsed.
Admit to the support that you have a 1k steam cards idling botnet and then argue that it's fine. The guideline is very important for a lot of people that never knew what is a safe amount, whether you're going to follow it or not is your choice.

The old method of adding a game CD key in message to bot isn't working. How to add CD keys?

Hi there, Archi!
I thought Matching actively would only match dupes, keeping a minimum of 1 of each emoticon / background!
I got a auto-trade from a bot that I felt scammed (I know it isn't your fault).
The trade were made of MANY copies of the same Backgrounds AND emoticons, and it CLEANED my Steam 2018 emoticons and backgrounds! I have NOTHING left of those!
here a PDF of the printed trade
I disabled it and I'm unsure what should I do to recover the emoticons and backgrounds I wanted to keep!
Is there an option to keep the trade active but less agressive?
Thank you in advance!
PS: Now I have 30 copies of :2018bestcoffee: and 25 copies of :2018bestaward: and no copy of :cozybrawlhalla1:, :cozybrawlhalla2:, :cozybrawlhalla3:, :cozybrawlhalla4:, :cozybrawlhalla5:, :cozybrawlhalla6: and :cozybrawlhalla7:, that I used on my profile!
Comment has been collapsed.
Did you GET or SEND that trade? Since this looks like you recieved the trade.
I would guess you have MatchEverything included in TradingPreferences. If that is the case then MatchActively is deactivated anyways but you will accept all incoming trades (with same amount on both sides) as described in the wiki.
What is your value for TradingPreferences?
Comment has been collapsed.
You set MatchEverything yourself (since otherwise MatchActively bots would not match you to begin with), and it's clearly stated on the wiki that this can and will happen:
By default ASF will reject bad trades - this is almost always what you want as an user. However, you can optionally enable MatchEverything in your TradingPreferences in order to make ASF accept all dupe trades, including bad ones. This is useful only if you want to run a 1:1 trade bot under your account, as you understand that ASF will no longer help you progress towards badge completion, and make you prone to losing entire finished set for N dupes of the same card. Unless you intentionally want to run a trade bot that is never supposed to finish any set, you don't want to enable this option.
So no, it doesn't keep a minimum of 1 of each emoticon / background, because you clearly configured your ASF not to.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks, Archii and KlappPc!
This was exactly what happened, I mistakenly added Match Everything using the UI! Now I removed it and trying to argue with the bots that sent me that offer. The one of the file I posted said he would try to undo the trade!
Thanks for the support!

I'm super curious. Is anyone willing to post what the accounting looks like for their successful bot farm? I'm thinking things like size of botnet, average profit per bot per day, total profits, time spent per day managing bots, and how you transfer profits from a bot account to a primary account.
On the flip side, I'm also interested in hearing about burnout, bans, and other generally negative experiences.
Comment has been collapsed.
"size of botnet"
Most people that go over 10 or say 50 will most likely not speak english well and be not active here
"average profit per bot per day"
That requires a constant flow of farmable games, which valve put and end to. Can not really imagine a profitable botnetwork (except holiday events) anymore.
"how you transfer profits from a bot account to a primary account"
Well you get items which you can transfer using the steam trade system.?

Just wondering - is this happening to "normal" Steam users too, or just trading card idlers? What if there's nothing to fix, and this time it's not a bug?
I mean, if Valve asked people to stop idling a few might get the hint and stop, but what if instead of asking, someone at Valve is experimenting with ideas to make it unprofitable?
A person with only 1 account might be willing to find a workaround (like you see people switching games for faster drops via that whatever-it-is bug, somebody's got time for that...) but profitz guys with 100 bots aren't going to babysit those things by hand, they'd give up and get a job... Mission accomplished? :)
An unrelated (?) question... Apparently if you add 50 cheap garbage keys to blabla.keys, even if you yourself know those games don't have trading cards, the asf thing still needs to check all of blabla's badge pages, 50 different times. Is there a way to temporarily postpone badge-checking for the duration of the key-redeeming? Thank you! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd just find a workaround if this was "intended", but it's not, it happens to everybody, and some card idlers are not affected. The bug has something to do with owning lunar badge + having multiple badge pages.
If they wanted to just remove badge page then they'd do so as opposed to leaving broken link that redirects to profile.
Comment has been collapsed.
I assume you've been hearing from a lot of unhappy idlers, so you'll have all sorts of interesting data... All I know is what I can see myself.
I see no correlation with owning/not owning a lunar badge, or having single/multiple badge pages. I could imagine a mystery resource usage limit, and trying to serve up those affected accounts' badge page(s) goes "over budget" and gets redirected to their profile instead. Or maybe it is just a bug, who knows? :)
Speaking about Valve's actions here, most days I don't think the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. And sometimes I don't think even the right hand knows what the right hand is doing... So I wouldn't want to assume X is done because obviously they would have done Y instead if they really meant to blablabla. :)
I can't remember, are boobie games allowed on Steam? No. Yes. No. Yes. Umm, I dunno... :)
Thank you! :)

So I wouldn't want to assume X is done because obviously they would have done Y instead if they really meant to blablabla. :)
Me neither, I'm operating on one fact that is more than enough - some people are not affected by this bug at all, and everything works as supposed to for them, and those are ASF users. I also have signals from people that are not idling and actually never did, neither through program nor manually, that the bug affects them as well.
So either Valve tried to shutdown idlers and failed so hard that it's beyond any acceptable range of mistake (very unlikely), or it's unintended flaw that is triggered by one reason or another and not related to some particular user actions. And I'm 99.9% sure that it's not the first case, you can't screw up so hard, even Valve.

the asf thing still needs to check all of blabla's badge pages, 50 different times.
That's false, ASF needs to check badge page and not game pages, and not 50 different times but one final time after all games are redeemed. The fact that this triggers as soon as one game gets redeemed is positive, since it allows ASF to start farming earlier if conditions allow, and not configurable.
Comment has been collapsed.
Umm, there's no mention of game pages in what I wrote, not sure where you're reading that...
I was just wondering if there's a way to tell the program hey, I'm about to redeem a bunch of keys, so please wait until you've redeemed the whole batch before you start checking all my badge pages. But if it's not actually checking all your badge pages with each key redeemed then I don't need any such feature, and must have been imagining things, so never mind... :)
Thank you! :)

Seems to me that the issue is exclusive to accounts with large badge pages, as ASF has no issue loading my bots' badge pages but gets hung up with my main account. Hopefully things sort themselves out fairly soon.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, how long will it take for volvo to fix this. It took them nearly a month to fix the non dropping of Geneshift.
I"ve a few thousands games to idle, ASF is a lifesaver for this matter.
Three days of shutdown and still counting.
Let's see if they act fast, thats not a good point for them during this growing launcher war.
Comment has been collapsed.
Posting here won't speed things up, if you truly want to make them fix it faster then contacting Steam support about the issue is a good idea, when more people post it's also more likely that they put it on high priority. There is nothing to fix in ASF if the badge page doesn't load at all, neither through program, nor through normal means.

got Answer from Support on Steam side is every thing OK they can open my badges without any issue
opend my badge Page with Internet Explorer works !!!(was not logged in )
only Chrome (works after logging out) and Steam client did not wtf :(
tested IdleMaster did not work :(
If i not logged in on Steam i can view my Badges Page in the Browser..............????
So it must have to do with the log in maybe!
write again the Support that i also can view the Badgepage when i not Logged in .
Comment has been collapsed.
maybe it have to do with this steamaccountlogin Number 765611979826xxxxxx in an old Threat for Idlemaster they fixed a similar Problem
with the Badgepage changing the login from the Number to Accountname it worked but think that should not work anymore.
Comment has been collapsed.
It has to be caused by the display of overall badge progress. The list can be shown if you use the completed filter (works just as logged out or other user's badge lists) or rarity sort. But sort by progress and A-Z (which includes badges in progress) don't work. You can get to a single game's badge page as well, even incomplete.
This might also explain why users with few games or bots have less issues. If they don't have incomplete badges due to trading/selling, they aren't affected yet.

Looks like Steam just recently pushed a fix. The badge pages and ASF are both working again for me.

Bump because ASF is awesome - Took a while to configure, but the drop results are worth it, and I look forward to the autotrader kicking after my drops are complete! Highly recommend the ASF-UI on top of ASF. When entering commands the syntax help is great. Also, commands like addlicense is great for acquiring limited run free content like this and redeem is useful for getting key activation details if something unexpected happens.

After i updated to 4.0.1.4 asf couldn't farm, (WARN about couldn't read something)
I restarted asf and everything was fine.
Can you make a log folder? my log file was overwritten and i can't give you more details
Comment has been collapsed.
well, no log for you then, maybe next time
the auto-update failed to restart properly and asf was unable to farm (and was changing the game every 3 seconds, disconnecting every try)

Just noticed there's a command mode now. Thanks Archi, very well implemented (:

(Linux ARM, i.e. Raspberry Pi)
I have a problem with the new version of ASF, which is from May 1st I think.
The new version was downloaded automatically, but is not executable (executable doesn't have bit x)
When I did a chmod, I obtained an error message "An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (ArchiSteamFarm.deps.json) was not found:
package: 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Server.Abstractions', version: '2.2.0'
path: 'lib/netstandard2.0/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.Server.Abstractions.dll'
"
I assume this is a new dependency ?
(and I didn't see anything in the changelog)
EDIT: it seems most dlls were not downloaded by ASF (?!)

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.
Core features
Interesting features
For comparison with other similar programs and further read about the most interesting exclusive ASF features, I recommend to visit appropriate FAQ entry that explains everything in detail. It's also a very good starting point if you want to have a glimpse on what ASF can do, besides the obvious.
Setting up
Detailed guide regarding setting up and using ASF is available in the setting up article on our wiki. It's user-friendly tutorial with helpful screenshots that compacts the whole basic knowledge about ASF into a single document.
