Hello, it looks like that Idle Master Extended is unable to start steam-idle.exe
to run the game process on your system (you can see that the application prints ... 0 idle now
as the status).
error.log
file right next to IdleMasterExtended.exe
that you are running?IdleMasterExtended
for steam-idle
when looking under Windows Task Manager? (see image below)I have not been able to reproduce the issue myself yet:
Same issue here.
It was working fine like always and I didn't do any changes to the setup.
edit: it fixed itself some days later. I didn't change anything, it just worked.
Same issue here, been trying on and off for weeks to tinker with settings and nothing seems to trigger the idling.
This is all the window tells me:
The cutoff on the bottom of the image is actually where the window ends.
This error log is present in the installation directory.
had same issue openning 2 idlemasterextended.exe and some spam on steam-idle.exe worked for me
Despite the official instructions specifying that idlemaster shouldn't run elevated, running the program as an administrator seems to have fixed the issue in my case.
I noted the following line in the error.log:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\steam_api.dll' is denied.
I figured this was an access rights issue, and, sure enough, running idlemaster elevated fixed it.
I'm not running Steam as an administrator (as far as I can tell, anyway, as it isn't asking for elevation on launch), so I'm not sure what else could be causing this.
Describe the bug
I have started using this for a day now. When I came back from turning my PC off for the night, it said Steam was not connected. Me being confused I went to the Wiki, and I made sure it was not running as an administrator, then I tried the ignore client status method. I thought that worked, but when I started it up, it was not running the game.
