Alienware arena quests

[marcodallagatta]

Hello everyone. Alienare arena (https://eu.alienwarearena.com/) has a "quest" section where one has to play a game for usually 1 hour, to redeem some points. Would it be possible to achieve this using ASF? At the moment I don't have a gaming PC, so I can't even run most of the games they say I should play.

I tried setting up a separate bot with the "GamesPlayedWhileIdle" IDs of these games and leave ASF on for a while. The actual time played is displayed on Steam, but never on the Alienware Arena. The last one I tried is the Halo Infinite multiplayer, ID 1240440, but previously I also tried Star Trek Online and Path of Exile with the same method.

I'm just wondering if it's just not possible or if I'm doing something wrong.

Yes, it's possible. Just make sure to start the quest on AWA before starting actual game. It may require more then one hour though, but it's the same with actual games too. Also, it might be more convenient to use play command instead of changing config every time.

I don't really know what I'm doing wrong then... these are screenshots from AWA and Steam: https://imgur.com/a/epfk4XG I ran the game hours and hours ago, so it's very unlikely that it still needs to update.

Are you sure you have connected this steam account to AWA and that playtime information is set to public on this account?

Everything was set to public, but there's an option I've never noticed: "Always keep my total playtime private even if users can see my game details." that was checked, so that's probably it... Thanks for the help on this ultimately unrelated issue!

edit: working now!
