Not activated gifts – What to do?

Closed
rurnhani

I used Steamgift Tools to check some data from my account (I was just curious, I had never heard of this tool) and I do not know if I understood the part of "not activated gifts."

• In "Games that cannot be verified as 'Marked as Received' by the winner" I have two listed games: "Rise of the Ancients" (it's in my Steam library) and "Its your last chance in new school" (I tried to play, but I found it annoying and deleted from my account... and now I can not recover to may library because the game does not appear in the support tab).

• In "Games that are well-known false positives and have been whitelisted in the tool" I have the game "Piximalism" (it's in my Steam library). Why does it appear on this list? Is it any problem with this game?

• In "DLCs Wins that appears as not activated" the list of games is great, but here it says "Steam API has problems identifying some owned DLCs, so the following ones are probably activated" so I think everything is fine.

My question: how do I prevent these games from appearing as "not activated"?

You cannot.

EDIT: Okay, there is one way, delete these games from your account.

  • games that cannot be verified... the games cannot be verified. They don't show as not activated, but as cannot be checked
  • false positives... these don't count, because it's a known issue that they get flagged
  • DLC cannot be checked

there's nothing wrong with those results

I checked with sgtools and you appeared green and fine for me. Those results are from "problems" with the checking system and not with you so there's nothing to worry about.

Your account is fine. Don't worry about it unless something comes up in red when you check.

It seems you are lucky as far as SGTOOLS go as "Its your last chance in new school" is a group/whitelist giveaway with multiple copies so it can't check if you received the game or not.
But you should try getting a key for the game or find a way to reactivate if you want to completely clean your account.

It can't check that one because it was removed from the Steam store.
edit: But yes, he should try to get a copy from somewhere and re-activate it, just for the sake of honesty.

But even removed games still show on your game list, no? But even then the other reason also applies since the giveaway is a group/whitelist sgtools can only see the 3 names that are reported by steamgifts but has no way of checking the rest of the winners.

Hmm yeah, you're probably right.
I'm not into SGTools enough to know how all that works.

Neither am I, but that was the message sgtools gives where that game is listed. :)

that game you removed may not be flagged by sgtools, but it's probably detectable by support.

if it was a single-copy ga you could ask the creator to delete it (with a bribe =3), but you still have 3 options:
- wait and see if you get suspended,
- get a copy and activate it, as suggested,
- contact the ga creator and ask to delete your win, but it may get ignored by support or take a long time.
