It did that for me too at the start but then i idled all the games to 2 hours simultaneously and tried again. After that it started working again for the rest of the cards and i got a new card each time i changed a game. Ended up getting 200 cards in a couple of hours.
Can confirm that it still works. I usually have a game or two with cards left to check if the glitch is still there in another day.
Tested two hours ago and got a card after few seconds idling.
Now idling next 30 games, going to idle 120 games today before I start doing the card drop part
Those who have to wait 2 hours are usually those who have refunded before
Reposting Wok's script for lazy clickers. Edit the line with sleep to change the idle time in milliseconds. In this case I have set to 1500, which is 1.5 seconds idle time
The script requires AutoHotKey
Code:
#NoEnv
SendMode Input
$F6::
loop {
sleep, 1500
ControlClick, x284 y166, Idle Master,,,, Pos
}
$F7::pauseNot necessarily. Several people in here mentioned they have to wait despite never having refunded, myself included.
Is that an arbitrary example or does it literally stop at 100 cards? It did for me and I don't know if that's a coincidence.
edit:
Ah, I missed that. Interesting.
Looks like the refund theory can be scrapped then
jshackles mentioned something about that
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=215106606&postcount=9597
Do you actually have any cards left to drop? Because if you don't then there is nothing you can get from the glitch
Did you ever ask for a refund? If not I think that's the reason.
I hace 1060 cards left to idle. I'll try to figure out the issue in a bit.
Anyways how do I do this, "idle games simultaneously up to 2 hrs, then individually" - or "idle games with more than 2 hrs individually, and then simultaneously".
Just boot Idlemaster.
That's up to you, if you want to do 30 game at a time then choose the second one.

the load times aren't that bad if you have an SSD
¯\_(ツ
I was going to complain that it still takes forever to load for me, despite being installed on an SDD, and then I realised that I probably installed it on my HDD and not on my SDD. Derp. On the bright side, that's an easy fix.
The steam card glitch is like the worst pokemon ever, it never does what you want
I used to only get 30 cards because only new games would drop a card, but yesterday I just waited a sec before I skipped a game and it would drop them no matter if it dropped a card before so try that.

Playing The Witcher III: Blood & Wine now, and I get a lot of weird graphical glitches, with characters and horses that are missing parts, people carrying boxes that looks like they're trying to dance with them, and some characters with polygons that seems to spill all over the screen.
I don't have any glitches in any other games I'm playing now also, like Fallout 4 and Overwatch, so it seems to be the game and not my hardware.
Anyone else who has encountered this?

Hello, I wrote a FAQ. Maybe it can be included somewhere. Dunno. I am going to link this post every time someone asks about the glitch. Someone wanna make a badass banner for the FAQ?

Steam Trading Card Glitch - STCG
Do you want all the cards today? Wanna try a glitch? Read my short FAQ and get rich
!
I am shortening this glitch to STCG
FAQ:
Q: What is this glitch I have been hearing about?
A: TLDR Answer: It's an exploit where cards drop quickly when switching games quickly
Long Answer: In reality it has nothing to do with switching games quickly. Currently there is a glitch in Steam's system where card drops after a few seconds play time. You can start a game and close it directly. There is a chance that a card will drop after a few seconds. Since this is a glitch there is no guarantee that it will always works.
Q: Do I have to idle my games for two hours before cards start to drop?
A: Yes and no. Some users have reported that the haven't idled 2 hours before they can exploit the glitch. Best is that you use Idle Master and idle all games before switching games, the chance to get card drops is somewhat, in theory, higher.
NEW: I can confirm that you don't need to idle for 2 hours before you can exploit the glitch. I played a few games with cards left and got cards after the game is closed. I have yet to test if cards drop when switching games.
Q: I cannot get it to work, help me please!
A: It's a glitch, it will not always work. Restart Idle Master and try again
Q: I got all the cards, now what?
A: If you feel generous, add me and send me all the cards
Or use Steam Market and get filthy rich
Q: Clicking next through all games is tiresome, is there any better way to do this?
A: Wok has created a script for this. It requires that you have AutoHotKey installed
Copy below and save as a idle.ahk. Start the script and press F6 to start auto clicking. F7 to pause auto clicking. You can change wait time after each click by changing the number after sleep. The wait time is in milliseconds. 5000 milliseconds is 5 second
Q: I have gotten 100 cards, no new cards will drop anymore
A: jshackles reported you can only get 100 cards without vising your inventory. So go there after 100 cards to "clear" new item queue
Q: I still cannot get it to work. Please, help me!
A: Here is a video of the glitch in action. It will give you an idea on how it works.
Q: Will this method work forever?
A: There is no guarantee that this will work forever. The glitch was discovered 2nd September 2016 and still work as of today. If you want cards now you better exploit the glitch now. The glitch might be fixed today
Q: Will I get banned for this?
A: Many have used this method to get cards quickly and so far none have reported being banned. Use the method at your own risk.
Q: My Steam friends are getting annoyed by my game switching, what can I do?
A: Set your online status to offline, (not offline mode)
Q: I read your damn FAQ, how do I get started?
A: I am sorry that you have to read my stupid FAQ
Start by downloading Idle Master. Set up the program to use your Steam info.
You can decide if you want to "Idle games simultaneously up to 2 hrs, then individually" or "Idle games with more than 2 hrs individually, and then simultaneously", it doesn't matter what you choose. The optimum would be that you idle all games first then switch games.
When you have idled the games restart Idle Master. Now you have to click next through all the games, wait between 5-10 second between each skip. It might not always happen but a card might drop.
You have to restart Idle Master when you have clicked next through all the games.

Good work, Deques!
Only thing I think could be added is a word on the legality of all this, but we obviously don't know Valve's stance. Maybe mention that many people used the glitch for hundreds of cards and still have their accounts

Nope. This was a vertical shooter with a ship of some kind. Atlus may have published it.

Where is the cheapest to get dishonord 2 from? Besides cdkeys
Jasec post if you are ok
Would make sense. Easy way to make loads of money for Rockstar.
Too late, already deep into Mexico part playing the PS3 version. I ain't replaying all that from the beginning. But good news if true - the game is awesome, everyone should play this.
Nope, they're gone for good.
And yeah, it's really addicting. And when you're done with it, you can continue with the GOTY 2016 which is even better than its predecessor
RDR coming to PC? Well... I accepted that that'd never happen so I watched a full Let's Play months ago. Great.

I only played this a little bit on a friends xbox when it came out but I liked what I played. I am quietly hoping this comes true.
To clarify, I probably should have said that I was only talking about 'end up at 35k once SteamSpy stabilizes' as ~week 1 sales. I have no doubt that those numbers should mean quite a nice profit for Namco that will only continue to grow over time
But you raise some very good points. I hadn't really thought about what it truly means for games to have 'life-spans' on consoles and not on Steam.
GMG, I think. Sign-in and you should see a price that's just over CDKeys price. I see £31.29 on GMG, as compared to £29.99 on CDKeys.

Yeah, to clarify myself, I wasn't picking on anyone in particular, it's just a weird thing to see... Go back 3 or 4 years and one of the arguments for PC (and Steam) was the long-tail on sales. It's one of the things we (like, industry and armchair analyst) have lost sight of, with all the "oh may gawd, it's not hit GTA numbers!" talk. DE:MD is another one - first-week sales are below HR's, but considering the number of games available, the release-window (I'm sure HR came out near Christmas), and the market for sneaky games, it's not done too badly, I'm sure.
how can anybody say Arcanum is awful? How?
I think steamgaf is no friend of mine, like there is at least one person here that hates every game on my GOAT list with the exception of Civ2 (awaiting for Civ2 is awful post any minute now) and
Arcanum is one of the best PC games ever, just so you know.

Thanks hope it stays that way til rlease
You never know when they pull another deus ex md misprice
There were patches that targeted the performance issues, so I'd expect it to be better now. Can't really comment on it since I only ever started getting issues after playing for >6 hours at a time.

It seems that you are right about the idle time. 1500 milliseconds are sufficient to get the cards.
Regarding games, I have tried SinaRun for the achievements, and got nauseated to a point...
And Half Minute Hero, which was praised a bit here in the past, and is kind of fun. I thought it was a platformer because I mistook it for 10 seconds Ninja.
Not in euro zone though, GMG is really expensive most of the time as is every store that uses euros and has 60€ price tags as regular. Dishonored 2 is nearly 47 euros discounted. Even Gamesplanet is cheaper, CDKeys is cheaper by 12.5 euros.
It's better but still a bit choppy for me.
Yeah, I actually hesitated in posting, because I was wondering if it would be different in the Euro-Zone. :/ That sucks.
