Idling Hours

[xandry]

I have finished all the card drops but want to idle games on my secondary account so as to increase hours.
I tried to look through the FAQ and the content on github but couldnt understand much.
If you could tell me how to idle hours on a game I would be really grateful.
Game: Counter strike Global Offensive
App Id: 730

Also, is it possible to idle hours of multiple games at once? In a single account i mean

Insert the games you want to farm in the GamesPlayedWhileIdle.

You can farm hours with up to 32 IDs at a time.

what do i add in the games played while idle? i added the app id but it still doesnt start. it shows we dont have anything to farm on this account

[Felipe]

You should insert it in GamesPlayedWhileIdle, not on custom games played while idle.

still the same. added 2 vales, 730 and 470 for csgo and dota2, but still nothing. any screenshot of the setup i need to do? or any link?

Is your ShutdownWhenFinished enabled? If you can, post a screenshot of your config

I wouldn't advise you to you use this on vac games.

Also if you FarmOffline then obviously it won't show on your status, while still showing on your profile.

Best way to check if ASF is indeed farming hours is to try launch the game when it states that there is nothing to farm. You should get usual information about account being occupied.

And remember to use ConfigGenerator if you for some reason decided to edit configs by hand.

In general review your config, GamesPlayedWhileIdle should have all appIDs you plan to play, while avoiding ShutdownOnFarmingFinished. Optionally you can also switch FarmOffline to false, to see status update, but that's not mandatory. IIRC there is no other option affecting this. If you're still having troubles, make a screenshot of ConfigGenerator page with your bot (together with GamesPlayedWhileIdle), and somebody should find out what's wrong.
