HeadlessCommands in ASF.json are not executing on startup (v6.2.1.2)

[krytishka20-max]

Hello,

I have an issue where HeadlessCommands from ASF.json are not being executed on ASF startup. The program starts, bots log in successfully, but the commands are silently ignored. There are no errors in the log file.

If I enter the exact same commands manually into the ASF console after startup, they work perfectly. The issue is only with the automatic execution from the ASF.json file.

Environment:

• ASF Version: 6.2.1.2
• OS: Windows 10/11

Troubleshooting steps I have already performed:

• Confirmed the global config file is named exactly ASF.json (not ASF.json.txt).
• Confirmed the file is saved with UTF-8 encoding.
• Confirmed the ASF.json syntax is valid, including the HeadlessCommands array and a correctly set SteamOwnerID.
• Moved the entire ASF folder to a simple path (C:\ASF) to rule out issues with special characters.
• Removed all plugins (including ASFEnhance) and tested with a basic core ASF command (version). The command still did not execute.
• Tested with a full global config and a minimal one.
• Tried running ArchiSteamFarm.exe as an Administrator.
• Added the entire ASF folder to my antivirus (Windows Defender) exceptions list.

Even after all these steps, the HeadlessCommands are still being ignored on startup.

I am attaching the log.txt and ASF.json files from my final test (running from C:\ASF with all plugins removed and only the "version" command).

Thank you for your help.

WTF is HeadlessCommands? Did some bullshit like chatGPT told you that's a thing, or something?

yes bro its gemini/ asf so hard for me and i started learning and using thanks to gemeni

[krytishka20-max]

all that remains for me is to make a global configuration file where the list of ASFEnhance extension commands will be listed by type.
"!ADVNICKNAME nvsunusaat deepvoicemail756",
"!EDITREALNAME nvsunusaat "single liquor"",
"!EDITCUSTOMURL nvsunusaat deepvoicemail",
"!SETAVATAR nvsunusaat https://i.imgur.com/7q8r9s2.png",

can you help pls /:

[Rudokhvist]

Well there is your answer - gemini lied to you. There is no such thing. We have comprehensive documentation in our wiki, maybe you could try reading it? It's much more reliable than some AI slop.

[krytishka20-max]

i read wiki
and I found the configuration of the main asf/ not exactly what I needed, I couldn't figure out how to apply it." Cancel

[krytishka20-max]

apparently my brain is too small for this, if you could briefly tell me how to make asf.json so that it reads commands, I would be VERY
grateful

[Rudokhvist]

Yes, sure I can tell you this pretty brief. You can't. There is no such function in ASF.

[krytishka20-max]

I have already realized that there is no such function HeadlessCommands. But I know from the wiki that there is Headless and you can set true false/ If you're so smart, can you tell a beginner which command to use instead?
