Hi all!

Is there any way to idle a game without showing it and just appear as connected in steam?

I've tested

client.gamesPlayed([0, apptoidle]);

client.gamesPlayed([apptoidle, 0]);

client.gamesPlayed(['', apptoidle]);

client.gamesPlayed([apptoidle, '']);

All of them show that I'm playing ${apptoidle} or non-steam game. I need this to change apptoidle periodically without sending notifications that I'm playing any game.

 

Thanks in advance for any help

Put your "client.setPersona" as offline (0), and play whatever game you're idling

 

client.setPersona(0);      //"0": "Offline", "1": "Online", "2": "Busy", "3": "Away", "4": "Snooze", "5": "LookingToTrade", "6": "LookingToPlay"
client.gamesPlayed(753);   //playing app 753

I didn't think on that xD. But will it show me as connected on steam? I need to handle chat messages too

Nope, you will show up as "Offline" and still idling the game.

If you decided to do that, you can't use chat messages.

 

There's other way. You can 'Offline' in client, but Online chat via web browser, it will show up as 'Online via web browser' and still idling the game

 

Use steamcommunity 'chatLogon();'
