Okay... So use google, translate the words to your native language or use a dictionary (your english-[Insert your language] ) #6 LEOdf View Profile View Posts 21 Mar, 2014 @ 3:39am Can anyone give me an answer along the lines. For exampleAway = no activity within Steam for 5 min.Snooze = no activity within Steam for 1 hour or more.Busy = activity within Steam of the type xxxxx #7 Acey View Profile View Posts 21 Mar, 2014 @ 3:43am

You can pretty much change them yourself. If you saw TirithRR post, you can change your status. So there is not an ammount of time, I know that if Away usually means their computer is on standby or afk #8 TENT View Profile View Posts 21 Mar, 2014 @ 3:45am Away: Either set by the person himself, or a few min afk.Snooze: The persons PC is on snooze mode.Busy: Can only be set by the person himself #9 LEOdf View Profile View Posts 21 Mar, 2014 @ 3:45am I would like to know how/when Steam triggers them automatically. Or are they all manually set? #10 LEOdf View Profile View Posts 21 Mar, 2014 @ 3:46am

Thanks. So Snooze is when the PC has gone into sleep mode? #11 TENT View Profile View Posts 21 Mar, 2014 @ 3:47am Again, snooze triggers when your steam app registers that your pc is snoozing.Away can be set by yourself or that you have been inactive on your pc for some minutes.Busy is only set by yourself.Edit; Yes, snooze is only when your pc is in sleep mode and can be woken up by the click of the mouse or something.

No Snooze is activated when u are away for more then 2 or 3 hours. Snooze may also be activated when your computer is on sleep/snooze mode but not sure. I know this for a fact because i have been away from my computer with it fully powered up for multiple hours and have come back with my screen on and my friends list pulled up showing my status as Snooze #13 Mudd View Profile View Posts 8 Apr, 2015 @ 9:01pm Wow some of you are either total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ or total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ or both. Because you know I came here to ask what the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ work "Busy"means. ♥♥♥♥ You #14 [AU] Tabris:DarkPeace View Profile View Posts 8 Apr, 2015 @ 9:33pm They mean what they say, they're set by the user manually. #15 < > Showing 1-15 of 19 comments Per page: 1530 50 All Discussions > Steam Forums > Help and Tips > Topic Details Date Posted: 21 Mar, 2014 @ 3:10amPosts: 19 Start a New Discussion Discussions Rules and Guidelines
