• TF2Idle - An easier way to idle
    1,935 replies, posted
Moussekateer, i have another suggestion to improve the application. Could you make status icon's on each account button that displays if either steam or TF2 is running for that account? Right now i use Sandboxie to check that but it would be nice to have it all in one interface.
When i turn on 16 TF2 accounts in idle textmode then turn on 16 more on my other computer on the same DSL line the first 16 on computer 1 only get like 1-3 weapon drops over 14 hrs while the 16 on computer 2 got 12-14. Can you only idle a certain amount on one dsl line?

I started idling last night after the drop reset time and for some accounts i got 2-4 items while others got 8 max items. I don't understand..... Last week it was the same. Maybe for some reason the drop rate method is changed? Next week i'll try to idle in a reversed order of accounts compared to what i normally do.

Idle #1 got 7 drops and the other 2 I've tried so far have gotten nothing.

they are saying you only get 5 weapons per week? i remember years ago we used to get 12 items per week and usually within 12 hrs. What happened did they nerf it?
idled with 70 accounts during yesterday, no problem here, most of accounts had 8 - 9 drops
Been trying for 3 days to set this up, I can't figure it out. If anyone wants to help me [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/victormartelle/[/url]

auto trade from all the accounts into one would be amazing and soo much less hassle.. guessng its not possible

i don't know this is a bug or not, but you can't change "account launch delay" if you has already started idling. more precisely you can change it, but in fact nothing will change.

You don't need all that drive space, you can use symbolic links as is explained in this thread and also the page where you download TF2Idle. You can even make symbolic links to the team fortress 2 folder so the size of each accounts folder will be minimal too. Here are the commands i use: [QUOTE]mklink /d "D:/Sandboxie/Steam/account1/Steamapps" "D:/Sandboxie/Steam/Steamapps" mklink /d "D:/Sandboxie/Steam/steamapps/%youraccount1name%/team fortress 2" "D:/Sandboxie/Steam/team fortress 2"[/QUOTE] Also for crafting i personally use this: [url]http://www.jengerer.com/item_manager/[/url] @Boben - if you could share those scripts here we will love you. PS: I have accounts that are getting 7-8 drops and some got 2-4 drops. There is something not right since pyromania ended.
this 1-2 weapon and a crate stuff is retarded...why are the servers so broke can't even give weapons each week...
If anyone wants to add me and help me out it'd be great. I can't figure out how to set this up. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/victormartelle/[/url]
Great program, thanks! However sometimes when I try to launch TF2 for idling, it won't launch automatically after clicking 'Start idling', instead it shows the 'Ready to play' screen and I manually have to click Play Game. What could be causing this? I didn't have this problem before and it only seems to happen on some accounts.
please fix, my idle launch settings no effect then i press "start tf2". He connect to server 50.30.43.210 =(. but when I press "start idling" it all runs fine and connects to my server
Its impossible to even idle, I don't understand how you people do this... I've been trying this for days and reading guides, watching vids, but it never works. I post on these forums and rarly someone replies speaking computer talk which I don't understand at all. Feel free to add me. [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/victormartelle/[/url]
Just post step by step what you did and which parts you don't understand or which errors you get. If you want personal help you have to be prepared to pay for it either in money or items/games.
