💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 didn't know I'm not the only one who saw that game
I just put rn this game to farm hours before seeing your comment... 💀💀
thats crazy 💀
I dont really like to subscribe to people ,but you my friend really deserve it ,thanks :)
Thanks for being a legend
Thank you so much, this is perfect. Even the .bat looks dope with the pic of the game lmao
Thanks for the straight to the point tutorial, much appreciated!
straight to the point man, appreciated
Very good and quick video, love that its easy, keep up the work :)
Thank you now I can have 50k hours on soundpad
yessir ;)
@KawzReal yes
@KawzReal yeah it only take like 3% of the cpu tho :edit so don’t worry
@KawzReal Unfortunately yes. :( but the time flies if you just leave the games idling forever xD
how find you soundpad id
You are a true hero. Thank youu so much
dang this worked. youve earned a new sub
A little tip: I opened my games tab in the browser and copied the html element that represents all the games (it has a search bar so you can group games). I made a python script that removes all the trash from the html and returns me the ordered list in bat in the right format with all the correct ids
Not sure how this is a tip if we would have to make a python script LMAO
thanks barry i can't smile without you...
Thanks brotha
i subbed. i hope this works such a good tutorial
super helpful bro, much appreciated.
Quick and easy, thanks!
Thank you SO MUCH
best vid thank you sm dude
thank you so much man it worked
thank you so much, now i can brag my hours on cs2 to my friends! (my pc cant even run cs2 lol)
Thank you so much! :)
Quick and easy, thx for the guide.
Hey barry, this helped me tons, none of the other tutorials showed how to properly set it up to idle, only how to farm cards. I'd like to say thanks for the help and I'd like to buy you a new mic.
How did you get it to work? My bat just closes instanly
@@augishim before you made the bat, did you type ' start - steamidle.exe' followed by the game number and then edit the filename to say .bat instead of .txt?
@@TwistedTebben Yes
@@augishim you put the bat file in the same folder as the stream idle exe?
@@TwistedTebben yes
It works, thx bro :3
my pc is asking me what to open the file with? notepad, opra etc.
what do i do ?
This doesn’t work after I open the bat and it just closes immediately any fix found?
good shi bro fr we should play cs2 sum time
Insane thx bro
do u have to have wifi to get h in games like if my wifi disconets will it still count hours ?
Damn bro an actual life saver. I'm migrating from Xbox and I am not throwing away 1,500+ hours in Monster Hunter. I'll just leave this running while at work.
I was actually trying to use cookies to get it to run lmfao. Guess that's what I get for not reading the "READ ME" files 🐐
just double checking, did it work for you?
@@legandarynoob1023 it works very well, just not when the pc is turned off
Thank you so much it works
Thanks man
So what iv'e been wondering is that if you use many idles for the same game will it give you hours faster?
Unfortunately no... :(
Hey bro, does the game have to be downloaded on your computer for it to work? Or can you do it as long as its in your library?
Nope! No download required you can do any game as long as you own it. :D
nice bro thanks
Hello, quick question. Does the pc need to be online for it to work? Example: My wifi is shit and my router crashes multiple times a day, sometimes for a few hours (ordered a new one already). So, will it still work if i have no wifi?
No
@@bacaninhagames8995 This. ^ Thanks. :)
If you turn off your pc is it going to still farm hours love your vids❤❤❤
Hello
Is there a way to make Idle stop running at a specified time?
Example: I'm running idle and I want it to stop automatically in 2 hours. What commands are available in Command Prompt?
Thank you!
That's out of my field haha I have no idea
Late, but the following batch script might be helpful.
(Create a new .bat file called timer.bat or something and run it after setting up your idling process).
@echo off
setlocal
set /p hours="Enter the number of hours to wait: "
for /f "delims=0123456789" %%a in ("%hours%") do (
echo Invalid input. Please enter a valid number of hours.
exit /b 1
)
set /a seconds=%hours% * 3600
echo Waiting for %hours% hour(s)...
timeout /t %seconds% /nobreak >nul
echo Time's up! Terminating idled games...
taskkill /f /im steam-idle.exe
echo Idling complete! :)
endlocal
pause
THX BRO
When running the bat file i get this error: Windows cannot find 'steam-idle.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
Sorry for the late reply, make sure the .bat you saved is in the same folder as the steam-idle that you downloaded and it will work. :)
if I put my pc on rest mode, would it work still? or does it have to be on the whole time
I don't believe it will work, but I'm not entirely sure as I haven't tested that out.
i love you king
can i be playing other games while this is running? im worried about game detecting this and getting me banned or something
Yes you can play other games. :) I keep it running 24/7 as I play games and I've not encountered an issue with anti-cheat in the past 3 or 4 years that I've used this. This tool is a simple script that simply tells steam that you're running each game when in reality you're not. It doesn't inject anything or try to interfere with game code at all.
@@darkmagician9 alright, thanks for the quick response !
If I start farming in several games at the same time or even in just one game, won't I get banned by the developers?
Absolutely not... this isn't injecting anything into a game this is simply telling steam that you have started the app and logs it as so. People have been doing this for like 10 years now and no recorded bans due to this... I've used it for a few years on and off and no issues. :)
is there a limit how long you can farm until it like disconnects or smt?
Nope, no limit. :)
ty so much
If I turn off the computer, does the clock stop ticking?
Nope! Also if you unplug your PC it will count the hours faster
Hello i have a small problem when i double click the bat file it says " windows ccannot find "steam idle.exe"
make sure theres a "-" after steam
How this works with games with easy anty cheat or others? It works flawlessly too or it doesn't?
It doesn't hook anything into the game process and doesn't interact with the game at all other than telling steam that you're running the .EXE so it's practically impossible to be banned. :) It's just running a script. There are some games that look for autohotkey running scripts but those games are pretty rare and they typically won't ban you rather just force close your game until you end the process, but this won't do that.
Do games drop items with this method? I'll give you an example: with Egg every hour we will make eggs to sell, with this method will we still make them?
no
Any idea if it works for future versions? Like 1.9.0?
Yep it works!
@@darkmagician9 Sweet. :)
if you put the same game multiple x does the gametime multiply or does it count for one
no
uh what abt the games doesn't have a store page likee bf2 how do I idle it
the game id if you hover over the icon on your desktop it says it
what if i do it on 2 separate devices?
works on vps. Thx dude
Slight issue, maybe I just shut it down wrong but when I started the program I had 687 hours, 10 hours later I had 697 then when I closed the program my steam hours back to 687, tldr my hours reverted back
Yeah I've been reading a few others have had this issue as well and I'm not entirely sure how to fix that or what not
@@darkmagician9 turns out you just can't use it with PC on sleep. Working fine for me now
yo where did you get photoshop from?
yo everytime i open the bat file its just closes?? do you know how to fix???
The bat file is supposed to close, but then the apps are supposed to open, double check the lines of code and make sure you aren't missing anything.
@Militias its happening for me😢.did you fix it?
@@AmirAli_Hz did you put .bat
@@Itznova16 yes.some tims its working but sometimes not
Will it work if I shut down my laptop?
can it stack if I idle 30 same games at the same time
Unfortunately no
thanks man, guessing you just need to leave your pc on in order to farm the hours, does having it in sleep mode work? i am truly a dumbass when it comes to tech so sorry in advance lmao
Yeah you do unfortunately haha if there was a way to otherwise I'd figure it out and let ya'll know. :)
@@darkmagician9 if i open the idle master multiple times does this make the hours even more, say opening the idle master 3 times = 3 x amount of hours?
@@darkmagician9 hey been working good, sometimes it messes up and have to close and reopen steam + program. But figured out u can copy the thing and do it as many times as possible. say 5 programs but of 30 games. Only doing 37 games atm. One program running 30 & other one is at 7 lol.
can i play the games i wanna idle on a diffrent pc?
Yes of course as long as it's the same steam account
how long thoes it take to get 5k hours and thoes it farm when the pc i closed
It will take 5k hours to log 5k hours, unless you have a time machine, and no it won't run while your PC is off
Can this work in gta and will this get me banned on steam ?
No, farming hours on games and unlocking achievements via the steam achievement manager are perfectly safe, dw bro.
can I open more than one of the same game and gain more hours over time??
Unfortunately no. :(
how do you check if the program is running?
Look at your taskbar and you should see the steam IDLE icon open with little windows of whatever games you are idling... if not check the task manager and it will say it in there.
Can I shutdown my pc while doing it or does my pc need to be on for it to idle
Your PC needs to be on
will this method also find the cards for your games
Yeah actually it will... I've gotten a few card drops while idling
do i have to leave my pc running all the time ?
Yes
I need Have 250+ Hours in RPG Titles and 150+ Hours in RPG Games
In-game mission
how to? please help
This isn't going to help with in game missions, however it will count the hours towards your RPG titles. :)
bro, 2 questions. Question 1: Can I play another game while leaving other games to farm for hours? Question 2: Can I use the hour farm in Valve games? cs for example. because they say that it is not recommended to use these programs in Valve games and that they have vac ban
try it ur self bruh
You can, this program has never been linked to any game ban or VAC ban... would suggest you do more research on the topic though until you're comfortable running it. This script simply tells steam that you're running each game independently, it doesn't inject anything, hook any process or mess with any game code.
thanks for the tutorial.
Now lets farm some hours so I can get clapped with 1k+ hours
Its still run when i turn off my pc?
It won't run due to the computer being off, what you can try is putting it in sleep mode or just turning off the monitor to help reduce the temperature. The PC must be on for it to work
If I do this will i still get trading cards?
You can yes
If i use it for cs2 can i get vac ban?
no
Hey man good tutorial but if I want to remove them, how do I do this? And what happens if I open the game?
You can just right click on the .bat file you created and edit it from there, or you can simply delete the .bat file and open the txt file (whatever you named it) and save it as a .bat again after you finished editing it.
Works
will i dile hours faster if i put the same game 30 times into the bat?
Unfortunately no. :(
Can you just type the same game id 30 times to farm the hours faster?
No, even if you do it 30 times it is only detected as if you were running it 1
can i play in orther game on steam when its running
Yes :D
I got the app running but nothing is happening still sitting at same number of hours.
The same thing happens to me, did you manage to solve it?
This is cool man, I can farm card with this method. Btw can I do this trick without opening steam, cuz my office pc prevent me from installing apps 😢
Unfortunately that isn't possible as it requires steam.
Can you idle 30 games and also play 1 game at the same time? Or does it have to be idle 29 games and play 1 game?
It's 30 max, however you can still have 30 games in the .bat file you create and run it, and then run another game it just won't count those hours unless they've changed it ofc
have had the script running for 12 ish hours and run time hasnt gone up a single minute lol not sure what i did wrong (game windows still pop up btw)
I know this may sound stupid but are you still having this issue and did you refresh your steam page? If you are and you did then honestly I'm not sure what the issue could be.
Do i got cards achievement after i use that?
Yes :)
what wallpaper do u use
I don't even remember haha it's on wallpaper engine though
and how to stop it when u are done using it ?
You can simply hover over the tab on your taskbar and click the X :)
i have question if i can get banned on steam when using it on cs2
Negative my good sir.
i have a question how many hours can i get in 2 weeks?
If you're idling all 30 games 24/7 then 10,080 hours.
Every time I try to log in, it sends me to the create account page.
Huh? You shouldn't have to login anywhere lol
@@darkmagician9alright well uhh it didn’t work but thanks for informing me about the program
@@eeboiee Your doing it wrong. It worked for me. Just follow the tutorial correctly.
can i play another game whilst i have one idle?
Yes! :)
Can i idle the same game 30 times to get insane hours?
Unfortunately not. :(
just did all of this but will you get band or blocked??
Nope! :)
can i play other games on that steam account while idling?
Yes. :)
If you type 3 times the same game is it gonna boost the gain of your hours?
nop
@@DanteDNLB This
@@darkmagician9 i have been using it for the past couple of days now but is there a way to make the hours go faster,and my second question is:can i like play games/do stuff on the computer while the program is going
@@DanteDNLB Unfortunately there isn't a way to make it count hours faster.
Yes you can play games and do everything while it's running.
so am i able to do the same game 30 times
or no
Unfortunately no.
Works in vm too, thx
will it still idle if i put the pc in sleep?
I have not tested that, I don't believe so.
for some reason when i start the bat file the windows don't pop up :(
sounds redundant but double check all the lines of code and make sure you saved the .BAT under all files
@@darkmagician9 i did, when i double click, something pops up for a second but instantly closes
@@Alastor_MSfound a fix?
@@vs0h738 nope
thx
