[QUOTE=Siberian;35955317]In Russia and some other countries, there're QIWI terminals. From there you can put any custom amount of money on your Steam account.[/QUOTE] that'd be awesome to get 10 idle accounts for the price of one. but of course with 2 keys the idle account really only ends up costing like, 2 bucks if you sell the keys. still though, just buying a shitton of 50 cent weapons for idle accounts (which is essentially a refined per account) you'd be making profit within 2 weeks.
[QUOTE=gambler;35959011]I want to see you beat 2 hats and 1 nametag. On a single account.[/QUOTE] Crate #30 and a hat on the same account, same week. T'was a good week.
[QUOTE=gambler;35959011]I want to see you beat 2 hats and 1 nametag. On a single account.[/QUOTE] 2 desc tags, gold paint and meet the medic taunt (on a single account). but I suppose it doesn't count because it was double drop week :wink: also, I love doing bogus trades between accounts on pub/trade servers
Hey everyone, now that steam has got gift cards, is this the solution to our payment problems? can we add funds to multiple accounts from one steam gift card? Also, is there a way to change the country to make these foreign payment options open so us Amuricans dont have to pay 5 bucks per account? I tried and came up with nothing but a russian translation of steam.
I fixed the "TF2 inventory not appearing" in the two new premium accounts. I just gave one random weapon to each account by trading, and seems it "enabled" the TF2 inventory in both Steam Community and Steam Trading. Pretty much derp and weird.
Gambler, if you use sandboxie to trade between accounts, you don't need to trade an item for the TF2 inventory to appear. You just have to delete sandboxie content, relog, trade normally, voila. Moreover, this also fixes any item_manager errors that might appear.

Last time I deleted the sandboxie content I had to reactivate each account by email.
As i know you can't change your region. In which country you created your acc will be main all the time.
When I am doing the idle, it never opens the text mode for tf2. It says "Preparing to launch Team Fortress 2...." but it never starts the text mode. What am I doing wrong?
[QUOTE=angry_worms;35970570]When I am doing the idle, it never opens the text mode for tf2. It says "Preparing to launch Team Fortress 2...." but it never starts the text mode. What am I doing wrong?[/QUOTE] Maybe i'm wrong but there are Sandboxie settings where you need to do Resource Access -> File Access -> Full Control. And you need to choose Steam folder. Works at least for me.
[QUOTE=Manulthecat;35970674]Maybe i'm wrong but there are Sandboxie settings where you need to do Resource Access -> File Access -> Full Control. And you need to choose Steam folder. Works at least for me.[/QUOTE] I did that for both full access and direct access and it didn't work.
[QUOTE=angry_worms;35971053]I did that for both full access and direct access and it didn't work.[/QUOTE] Delete team fortress or the .gcf files, and download it again. Or if tf2 from the main steam folder is running normally, just copy the gcfs again.
I get a problem, too. It's different but at the same time similar? When I idle on my main account, I get the CMD textmode window like normal, but on the alts I don't. It says I'm in-game but not on any server. TF2 doesn't show up in the taskbar either. I've tried idling like this but it obviously doesn't work.

Anyone have that kind of problem? I have many accounts, and they have drop e.t.c. But i have the one strange account. It dropped me just 2 items 2 weeks ago. Fast Learner and #40 crate. It's nice but... Why it doesen't drop anything just like other accounts? I have no idea.

[QUOTE=gambler;35976457]There was a problem with the drop system that weekend, it was discussed here.[/QUOTE] No no no no no. I mean it lasts for 2 months for now. Not about now.
Contact support or idle on that account on a different day, like after the weekend. I had this problem once and fixed by doing this.

had now 10 accounts running, on 4 each hats dropped 8)

I know it doesn't seem like much of a fix but it works 90% of the time. To reinstall Steam for the account go to the folder and delete everything but Steam.exe and steamapps. After this just run Steam.exe and let it download the client again. Once this is done go to the mklinked steamapps folder and delete the account folder from there. Try idling again and report your results. This has fixed my problems on more than one occasion. So hopefully it works for you. Also 4 hat drops this week. And two crate #40's :D

Added The Sneaky Spats of Sneaking Added new promotional items Added koth_badlands to eligible quickplay maps Added changelevel_next server command which changes to the next map in the map cycle Added mp_restartgame_immediate ConVar which has the same effect as mp_restartgame without a delay Fixed The Manmelter using the wrong muzzle flash effect Fixed The Frying Pan not being positioned correctly for some classes Pans are fixed. God help us all.
If anyone was wondering, steam gift cards dont work with buying idling accounts. the entire amount of the card is added the the selected account. still trying to find something more practical than buying several (and expensive) visa gift cards. if anyone can help me out with this, I'd appreciate it. and fuck pans
Oh my god. Strange Sticky and s Rocket Launcher in new crates. Economy fails a little.
