Is regular steam usage working? or is only when you try this idle_master_py?

Steam works fine alone, Idle master accesses steam account and emulates a running game to drop cards automatically, when using firejail my steam doesn't mention that im in the game selected by idle master as it should, so I think idle master isn't working

Sorry, I guess my question is can you play a regular steam game in firejail?

Something else you can try: when you start idle master use "firejail --noprofile". This disables the profile and you get just a basic sandbox. If it is working, we know there is something in the profile that disables it.

The thing is with noprofile, normal profile or no firejail it seems to work but my steam account doesn't change to "ingame" and green so I think it doesn't work

I have no idea what's going on. Anyway, as long as the game is sandboxed, Firejail does its job. Some programs just don't work in a sandbox.

I also have problems with Stream on a Ubuntu 16.04. They changed something in the December release. For me it doesn't start at all.
