"Stubbs the Zombie" - not able to farm?

[Chemischer Kuckuck]

Sorry if there was already a topic about this, but the search did not come up with anything. ASF seems not to be able to farm cards for "Stubbs the Zombie", it always gives me an error message. Other games work perfectly. Any solution for this?

First, did you check if it has cards available to it on the badges page for your account?

Yes, 3 cards available to collect. ASF always says "Sammeln 7800 (Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse) ist vorübergehend deaktiviert, da ASF momentan nicht in der Lage ist dieses Spiel zu spielen" - meaning "...is temporarily disabled, because ASF is not able to play this game right now"

It's the first time something like this happened. Did collect Resident Evil 8, Bloodrayne Terminal Cut 1&2 today without a problem

This brings us to the second, did you check if you have more than one license for that game? If so, the fix is pretty straightforward.

"Temporary disaled" may mean one of two things - either game is not playable now (like pre-purchase or such) or... steam being shit and ASF unable to get required data, resulting in timeout. We can't fix steam being shit, and there is no workaround for this steam issue at this moment. What you can do is forcibly start this game with !play command, wait for cards to drop and then "!resume" asf back to farming mode.

If you suspect ASF issue, then you can delete ASF.db file where ASF keeps its cache in order to force a refresh of that and all other games you own. That might help, if it doesn't then follow Ryzhe advice above.

Well the game should be playable - it's in my library since 2007 and just recently got a remaster/overhaul and Steam cards got added.

I'll try your suggestions tomorrow, maybe I have some luck

How can I have more than one license? Either you have it in your Steam library, or you don't, but how can I have it twice?

Sometimes it's possible when steam gives away some game for free and you get a free license (without card drops), and then you buy game as a key and get a paid license (with card drops). But this is clearly not one of those cases, since when this happens ASF don't show message about "temporarily disabled" game, but instead tries to farm, but does not get card drops, so it farms to the maximum timeout, then tries to farm other games, then farm again... In result user gets a lot of "time in game" for such game, but no cards. In this case, indeed, user can remove one of the licenses (free one) with steam support automatic "wizard". But, once again, I don't think this case applies to you.

Deleting ASF.db did the trick, works now. Thanks a lot!
