Restart my bot please (Trade offer error 26) - Page 1

The trouble seems to be limited to Dota2 keys. But I need those keeps, if you Yoto could log into the account and send me a trade offer for all dota2 keys, I can just stop accepting them.

Two more days have passed, could you at least look into it or tell me if its on Steam's side?

Joto	June 14, 2014, 5:01 a.m. I cannot assist because I do not know why. Several bot accounts are getting "You are not allowed to trade or receive items in Dota 2". I will write to support and wait for their response.

Just FYI this is still an issue. Sent a ticket to support as well but not sure if it will help much since I am not the owner.

They replied to me. Basically they told me to delete everything in :C\Program Files\Steam except steam.exe and \steamapps and \Userdata\folder.
So it most likely is related to the client install.

If that does not work they told me to verify that the network settings are optimized for Steam, see https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=1456-EUDN-2493

I am not sure how your bots work (I assume some kind of headless linux login) but you could try using them on a windows install and see if you can trade dota2 items there. Feel free to use my bot for experiements as long as you put everything back in afterwards. Actually feel free to keep 2 dota2 keys if you can fix it, as a donation :)

Yeah... My assumption is it isn't running under Windows, nor does it have a "SteamApps" folder, I *highly* doubt (And, honestly, would be a little scared for this site's security and stability) if it was running a full on Steam client. My assumption (At-least, now-er-days, was different before) that it doesn't even utilize the Steam client interface, and, does everything through Steam Community (I.E. Just basic old HTTP requests). For a reference on what the code might look like, take a look at one of the many open source trade offer implementations, notice how none of them actually utilize Steam?

For instance:- https://github.com/Alex7Kom/node-steam-tradeoffers

Getting my inventory? https://github.com/Alex7Kom/node-steam-tradeoffers/blob/master/index.js#L115
Getting their inventory? https://github.com/Alex7Kom/node-steam-tradeoffers/blob/master/index.js#L130
Get current trade offers? https://github.com/Alex7Kom/node-steam-tradeoffers/blob/master/index.js#L184 (Utilizes https://github.com/Alex7Kom/node-steam-tradeoffers/blob/master/index.js#L155)
Get specifics on a trade offer? https://github.com/Alex7Kom/node-steam-tradeoffers/blob/master/index.js#L214
Decline trade offer? https://github.com/Alex7Kom/node-steam-tradeoffers/blob/master/index.js#L232
Cancel trade offer? https://github.com/Alex7Kom/node-steam-tradeoffers/blob/master/index.js#L236
Accept trade offer? https://github.com/Alex7Kom/node-steam-tradeoffers/blob/master/index.js#L246

Etc... etc..., what I want you to notice is that none of these utilize Steam, it's all just HTTP requests, so, they'll be no "Cache to clear" or "Blobs to delete". The most he could do would be to wipe the Steam Guard cookies, but, all that's succeed in doing is locking him out of the account for seven days. You could say "Oh, but, he could sign you out and in again", last I checked, Steam does this automatically every few hours anyway (I.E. it logs you out), maybe they've changed that recently, but, if they haven't (Joto can confirm/deny) then the bot will already be relogging every few hours.

Joto	June 19, 2014, 6:05 p.m. We do not run any Steam client and the error appears on the web interface too so the answer has not answered anything. :\|

I am fully aware that they are not running it on windows but then again launching it in windows once *might* fix something. Maybe the window client transmits something when it is reset, I don't know.
I mean why would me not being able to trade to my bot get fixed by deleting his clientregistry otherwise? I do not even need the bot's "client" to trade trade something to it, that should be done via the Valve interface itself.

Launching the profile once in windows might also give clues as to what is wrong on the bot's side (trade ban or similar). It has been almost 2 weeks now with no fix in sight. This is getting annoying. At least send me a trade offer for my dota2 keys once and i am done with dota2 crap.

Seems to work now after I run Dota2 once with the account.

Yes, it works now, thanks Joto! I hope you took out your two keys for the trouble, otherwise add me and I'll send them your way.

To anyone who will google this error later: check if the items you're trying to move are tradeable.
For some reason, bot shows untradable items just as regular tradable ones.
