I have a question regarding games sharing:

I have 2 STEAM account. According to the FAQ, only one account can login to use the library even if they are playing different games. Ex: If one account is playing Sonic, the other account can't play Sleeping dogs.

However, i have tested yesterday and it seems to work. I have one account playing the shared library SONIC game and another running Valkria Chronicles.

So what gives? Is it suppose to be can or cannot?? rclxub.gif

Both account running from same location (from Home) via same Fibre internet.

I can't understand this....rclxub.gif

Pls advice!

that rule is for 1 account.
not one owner...
even if both account has the same game also got no problem both games run at the same time.

i think what your situation is family sharing...
example...
account A have HL3 game...
account B doesnt have HL3...
but account B can play HL3 using his own account playing HL3 owned by account A...
provided account A gave permission to account B to play his/her library.
but cannot play the same game at the same time.

I don't think that is how it's suppose to work according to the FAQ i read in STEAM.

There's also discussions here:

QUOTE
I want to play my own shared games, but they're in use. What do I do?
As the account holder, you may always access and play your games at any time. If you decide to start playing when another user is already playing one of your games, he/she will be given five minutes to either purchase the game or quit playing.

Can I share specific games, or do I have to share my whole library?
Libraries are shared in their entirety.

Can all Steam games be shared?
No, due to technical limitations, some Steam games may be unavailable for sharing. For example, titles that require an additional third-party key, account, or a subscription in order to play cannot be shared between accounts. Additionally, if you are VAC banned, you will be unable to share any VAC protected games.

Can two users share a library and both play at the same time?
No, a shared library may only be accessed by one user at a time.

Is there a limit to the number of devices or friends I can authorize to share my Library?
Yes. You may authorize Family Library Sharing on up to 10 devices at a given time, and for up to 5 accounts that may then use your game library on any of your authorized computers.

I share a computer with another Steam user and want to request access to their games. What do I do?
If another Steam user has installed a game on your shared computer, you can log into Steam on this device using your own account and send a sharing request. To do this, visit your library, where you'll see your friend's installed games. Select the Play button to launch a request form. Once sent, this will send an email request to the account holder.
i think what happened was the last portion, i have already installed SONIC in that PC using Account A, then I use Account B, i can see that game, when i click PLAY, it pops up windows to send request to Account A. I approve the request on another PC from Account A.

What i have tested so far is i have started one game using Account A, then start another game (belonging to Account A and shared) using Account B. However, i haven't try it more than 5 minutes, the statement above seems to show there is a 5 minutes grace period, maybe that's why. Will do more testing tonight.

If cannot really jalat....sad.gif

This is not what is written, if you read the complains on the web and the STEAM faq itself

Oh lawd, Refund really works well. Bought a game last saturday, and now it's on flash sale. Refunded because of the price is lower now. And Steam really refunded that, just like they said they would.

i think they e-mail me refund on 13th (i request on 11th i think), but till now...NO MONEY IN MY WALLET!!! STILL PENDING!!! vmad.gif Have to spend more to buy games instead of using those fund. Next time, i refund straight back into my Credit card!!! mad.gif

Still need to wait for the money to be credited back no matter what option. I got my money around 3-4 days last time when I refunded a few games

Nope, the difference is, I can continue to buy using credit card if i refund to credit card...later 3-4 days, money revert back to me, no extra charge. If revert to steam wallet, those money i have to pay and leave it there if nothing to buy or forced to look for something to buy after the Sales is over. Very big difference. Money in my pocket, better than money in STEAM's wallet.

Tested and confirmed. Sharing is by library. If one account using, the other guy will be kicked out in 5 minutes. It's not by game, it's by LIBRARY. This "sharing" is senseless and not real sharing at all. I think many people complained previously and STEAM burn the thread in the forums. mad.gif

ill pass la....if no 75% MINIMUM no buy...rule of thumb ma keekekekeke

My rule of thumb, if < RM10, and i like, buy. If <RM10, i don't like or know, KIV. Anything > RM10, dun buy (unless it's 4 player pack, per unit still < RM10)...haha.

Playing Last Remnant yesterday...i think it was over RM10 a bit, but ok lah, hardly any good JRPG on PC. This one not bad, seems to be better port than FF series. But it has horrible screen tearing issues and NO OPTION to set in the game...luckily can forced VSYNC via the NVIDIA control panel for this game. Problem fixed.
