  1. Download and extract the release to some folder from here if you have not already:
    https://github.com/Ne3tCode/SteamItemDropIdler/releases
  2. Make sure Steam is not running. SteamItemDropIdler may not work properly without this step
  3. If you have Steam installed, rename your Steam folder to something else. For example, if your Steam installation is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam", rename it to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam123". SteamItemDropIdler may not work properly without this step
  4. If you don't have Mobile Authenticator enabled on your account - skip this step. If you don't have Steam Desktop Authenticator - skip this step also. Find the file in your SDA folder, in maFiles subdirectory, named {UserID}.maFile (where userID is your Steam Account User ID, which begins with 7656...). Open it and copy shared_secret parameter from it without brackets (i.e. AvKmZ7l0KtkWsS11EnkLfR3jhE8=). Create a file in your SIDI root folder named username.secret (if you want an example - just look into test.secret file from released version), where username is your username which you use to login to Steam. Put previously extracted string there and save the file.
  5. Run SteamItemDropIdler
  6. Enter your Steam information, the AppID of the game and the Drop List Definition that you want to idle for. You can find those here: https://github.com/Ne3tCode/SteamItemDropIdler/wiki/Drop-List-Definitions . If you have Mobile Authenticator enabled and you've skipped the 4th step - enter it in the respective field. If you have Family Access PIN-code on your account - enter it in the respective field.
  7. Wait for it to say "Item drop idling is now in progress"
  8. Keep SteamItemDropIdler open and wait till you get items! To stop, press Ctrl+C and then Enter (or just close the window)

Note: Do not worry if you get "BeginAuthSession callback failed (5)" when idling TF2, everything is working correctly.
