- Download and extract the release to some folder from here if you have not already:
https://github.com/Ne3tCode/SteamItemDropIdler/releases - Make sure Steam is not running. SteamItemDropIdler may not work properly without this step
- 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
- 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.
- Run SteamItemDropIdler
- 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.
- Wait for it to say "Item drop idling is now in progress"
- 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.
