fletch Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Using a bot to idle my account while I'm not playing. Whenever the bot logs into my account it makes all my friends appear offline in the steam client (until you relaunch steam client, they update their status or you exit the bot).Is there any way to avoid this?

Dr. McKay Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 That's pretty interesting. I've never seen that before. What happens if you make your bot go online with setPersona? Although that will make you appear in-game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMuffinDK Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) I think this happens because you login elsewhere. This also happens if you login on two computers, using the steam client Edited February 18, 2018 by McMuffinDK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletch Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 What happens if you don't mark the bot online?Just tested. The same thing happens. Have to sign out of steam friends in the client and sign back in to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fletch Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Just noticed it doesn't happen when I use ASF. Must be something I'm doing. Idk I'll keep fiddling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
