- In my last video, I showed you how Steam Families worked; but the times they are a'changing and suddenly people aren't allowed to accept invitations to a Steam Family.
We'll talk about what happened and give you three ideas on how to possibly get around this new restriction.
#steam #steamfamilies #sharing - Hry
"Steam: Families & Friends Branch, the Library Sharing Update" would be a great headline to be honest
thanks man, haven't seen the thread on reddit and your videos helps a lot! cheers!
Do you think one of these work-arounds will be necessary if two PCs are on the same home network, but one uses a VPN and the other does not? Or each uses a different VPN?
I believe it would be necessary, yes. IP != VPN IP ... so yeah, it would think one person in the house is at the home IP and the other person is in Abu Dhabi or wherever the VPN is routing you to.
@@Darkuni hi we discord screenshared to do the sign in and used the qr code to login from phones.
@@masonfpsrts And it worked?
the second one got change fast
Bro, cannot my actually family (cousin) that lives next block but a friend living at the other side of the world can?? steam???? bs man, having to share my account data cause they cannot do their shit right is infuriating
They change the rules frequently during this beta. Let me guess - the friend on the other side of the world is a pretty old share, while your cousin that lives close is a recent attempt to add? My ENTIRE share list are people from out of state - I got it BEFORE the crack down. If I removed one of them and tried to readd them? I'm 100% sure I'd be denied. :(
my friend logged in with my account and it still had the same error message 🙃
Damn, it's getting brutal out there ...
Yeah I'm living in Turkey and my friend in Turkey couldn't join but my friend that lives in Germany came to group without any errors.
@@KaderiBerbatMerdo That's crazy. Who the hell knows what Steam is up to with this ...
@@Darkuni can't even login into my accounts on the same computer, only thing that they don't got in common is different country stores, so i guess valves is doing that one on purpose 😅
@@highfe :( Dayom. Look at Valve going all draconian ...
thanks man, i speak spanish but understand english and this video helps me so much :)
I logged in with my friends credentials but it still gives me rhe error message. Any idea why?
Maybe it takes a bit of time for it to sync? I don't know. They don't publish how they test these things - so we're all sort of guessing.
Can u explain how make houshold the same because I opened it in my other account and it doesn't work
They are constantly shifting the requirements. If you're not actually behind the same router, I think you're going to have issues. :( People are reporting these tricks aren't working anymore.
@@Darkuniis there a new solution
@@bones.24 Not as of yet :(
Nice explanation man it’s not like people aren’t buying the games on steam or you can share with the entire world 😭 Dey wilding wit dis lmao wha if my cousin live across the Atlantic Ocean fr lmao
awesome!
Can i use remote play?
I think so. That isn't "family" bound - that is bound by your friend's list.
awesome
Why TF is it named steam families if i can't have my actual close fam share games? Me, my brother and two cousins have been borrowing games on each other's accounts.
Why should it work just like so? Because we also do this for f***ing consoles! We share f***ing discs! F*** valve
The naming is the issue. It should be called HOUSEHOLD SHARING - and it would be being truthful, and accurate.
Hmm, would hamachi work?
Hmmmm.. maybe if both parties were VPNed into the exact same location ... Maybe??? If you try it, let us know.
It didn't work for me
The second method didn’t work for me tho
@@Fuegoaries they keep changing the rules....
If I use a VPN, will it work?
I don't think so.
