Red Tape Recorder says its classed as a tool instead of a weapon.. thats another minor fix im guessing already addressed for next version :)
[QUOTE=Tealc;37835805]I've had this working for a few weeks now. Steam recently started giving me shit to "verify" (updating?) my TF2 files. I've let it happen multiple times and it still makes me do it every time. Why is it making me do this so much? Even on my main account this happens.[/QUOTE] Happens to me and my friend too, annoying as hell. The only way to fix this is to redownload TF2 on every account, and that's only until the next TF2 update comes out, then it'll validate all the time again.
That really sucks. I am not sure if I want to idle anymore if it's this much work! Maybe VALVe is trying to cut down on idlers in order to ramp down TF2 so they can pave the way for TF3 lol.

Hey, so I'm getting Could not connect to Steam network, and Not enough space for the game when trying to log into an account in sandboxie. Drop rights is unchecked. All programs should have access to the internet. At this point both hard drive roots are in the full access category. What more can I troubleshoot here? I also posted in a different thread for [I]only[/I] sandboxie idling, but I would assume that people here aren't reading that actively, and it seems to be a weird problem that many people have EDIT: Fixed by JUST giving sandboxie full rights to the steamapps directory, NOTHING else, as suggested by Gamemaster1379.

[QUOTE=radek;37838680]happens to me when i accidentally update tf2 in a sandbox[/QUOTE] So I should turn off updating via the Steam settings for each account? Will I still receive items while using an out of date game client? Also, backup? I'm not sure how that would work with these types of alt accounts.. Edit: It is not working at all now. It completes validation and restarts again whenever I try to start the game- even on my main account!
[QUOTE=radek;37792399]use your paypal balance, not the money from your cc[/QUOTE] i tried it.. doesnt work for me.. it will give me a error
[QUOTE=Markers;37830089]Can you try using "Defraggler" to defrag complete computer after update? I'm using this program and havent had that problem since.It may take like 12 hours if it's first time use but if you use it daily,doesnt take more than 15-20 minutes.[/QUOTE] Defraggler doesn't defrag GCF's the same way steam does it.
You said about defragmentation, like it helps so much.
Nice work though I might just use this for one account.
Is there any way that you could add an option to change the number of cores each account runs on? Like have 3 accounts on core 1, and another 3 on core 2?
Is there a reason why my drops don't show up in the drop log? I know I'm getting them, but it's not notifying me.
Any chance for a timer/time limit for idlers? Or a queue? Tell it to start idling these 5 accounts, 1 at a time, 8 hours each, that kind of thing. Also [QUOTE=destinyfate;37861252]i tried it.. doesnt work for me.. it will give me a error[/QUOTE] I have a discover card, which has a thing online to generate a 'secure account number' which is basically a new credit card number every time. Other cards and companies offer similar features.
[QUOTE=destinyfate;37788924]anyone knows is there a way for me to upgrade as many tf2 premium account as i can without having the problem of 2 account per one card problem?? i have tried to use paypal that link with my card and it wont let me upgrade more than 2 account... any other way?[/QUOTE] One Card just can do 2 acc per month, don't know why but it's what i find out There another cool way to do massive acc at once is: In my country, there a type of card call GIFT CARD: it have card number, the security number but it's don't have USER NAME!!!,it's cool but it use one times in life,you can fund it one times too and if it out of money mean u ready to get new one, THE BEST IS: it take 5 MINS to register this SUPER COOL card, so 30 mins for ~5 to 10 card :D My methos is: do 5~10 card, fund it 10usd each card and i can get 10~20 acc at once as i want, you can do many as u want,too, very convinient card Try to ask ur bank if they have these type of card.

Not advertising.
Damn Just a few weeks ago i could upgrade how many accounts i wanted using the same card through paypal, but now its not working anymore , i had planned to upgrade many and could only add funds to 2, then the error, ( an unexpected error has occurred ) appears , is there any workaround for this with the same card ?,
the Text idle i keep getting disconnect: kicked dude to inactivity... how to fix this?

That shit's annoying me a lot, I keep getting it on my second alt every time.
[QUOTE=DaWhatTheFox;37919955]That shit's annoying me a lot, I keep getting it on my second alt every time.[/QUOTE] Maybe 18 acc (running 9 acc every week) is not a lot, but still it takes a lot of time to idle on them, with this validating issue :/
[QUOTE=alcblue;37919952]Anyone got a true solution to bypass 'validating steam cache' issue when idling?[/QUOTE] backup tf2 files (make sure client is up to date), remove tf2, restore tf2 from a steam backup files, now you should idle without any problems, next time make sure you don't update tf2 using a sandboxed steam
Does anyone else feel kind of insecure with the way you add accounts? I mean, you have to give them your password and stuff... and when you write in the password field you can actually see the text.. I'm sure with all of you guys downloading it and using it there is no problems whatsoever but I just find it kind of weird..

[QUOTE=Markers;37926512]What you want,Login with steam button? /Sarcasm[/QUOTE] I'm idling with only one account. I can see when you need multiple accounts but with just one account and steam being open to shouldn't it just automatically start tf2 easy peasy? I don't care, I just find it kinda funky (for no real reason since no one has reported stolen accounts on this thread despite there being over a thousand posts) also im liking this so far
I don't understand why someone would use this with just 1 account unless you use it for logs.

Still paranoid? Do not use logging feature and cut connection to internet of the program (use your firewall) and you are golden.
yes! edit: [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1102531&p=37935096&viewfull=1#post37935096"]see this[/URL] perhaps a feature to restart idling when this happens? (not sure about how difficult this would be to implement, but if possible) edit2: Perhaps an option to schedule "start idling" (e.g. Start idling in 2 hours or 2 AM or something)
I have an issue i need help with, i asked about this for a few months ago, but never really got any answear and it solved itself, but now its back and it dosn't seem to go away, so i need help!. The thing is when i start TF2Idle it starts up witout any problem but now for some reason when i try to add a few more accounts , and closing the application, and start it again, i am asked to enter a decryption key, and i never choosed one so i can't start it, to get it to open again i need to head to the txt and restore it a few hours back , then it starts up , so i try again but it wont work, i have tried enter a password but it still dosn't work, Have anyone encounter something like this ?, Do anyone know any fix?, I have also tried from scratch but when i add accounts (that worked before) it still gives me this "error" , Please anyone?, [editline]6th October 2012[/editline] funny enough I solved it myself , ^^ only had to start steam(in sandbox) with the new accounts i added and then it worked, still dont know why i was asked to enter the decryption key though, wierd.
