Didn't get Steam Cards by Playing ?

[-LaMeR.]

Just checked i had some games " Resident evil resistance " and road redemption "
I see in my medal page that i can earn 3 and 5 cards by playing them.
I played both games for over than 1 hour but i didn't received any steam trading card. Why?

Play for longer? Nothing states you get them after just 1 hour playing. Could be 1 hour 1 minute or 3 hours

Played 2.5h on RE Resistance and didn't get nothing

Some games take 5+ hours to drop the first card. These are set by the developer and for many games, it's usually 2 hours before any drop eligibility begins.

Honestly I would stop worrying about it.

If you get to 10+ hours played and you still have nothing thats one thing but plenty of games don't drop cards within the first 3 hours.

refunded something? account shadow-flagged for possible refund exploit.
drops start after 3 hours of playtime and then to their setup drop timer.

you can easily test for this.
take any game you have drops left and no playtime on.
run it 5 minutes, stop it.
if your account is not flagged, you will receive a drop.
if there is no drop, try 3 hours of playtime later, it will drop then.

cheers.

devs can only set a general drop timer per card, no initial time or something else. everything else is undocumented and done by the system in general, there are no other per-game settings.

Sorry it's been years, but do you know if this goes away eventually? I recently refunded 2 new games I hadn't even played and now this is happening. I don't really refund many games either, this was just necessary. It would be annoying to not get any cards 2 hours after playing any game when I used to pretty much get them all in that time frame. I also would like to point out that the games I refunded didn't even have trading cards lmao

There are other conditions at play anyway. I've never refunded a game and I've always had to wait out the 2 hours, so whether you've refunded anything or not might be a possible condition, but certainly not the only one.
