Having problems to start playing FF8 remaster with family sharing. Getting a “config.txt” error. Any help please?

I have been reading that you need to rename some file with your steamID64 number or something like that because the game creates one with the number of the original owner.
Not sure which file should I rename tho or where is located, any help is appreciated since I really want to start playing this game 😔
The message I am getting is:

“error: 3889861889:337”
“can’t open configuration file: ‘config.txt’”

It's a folder.
My Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY VIII REMASTERED\Steam\[STEAM ID]
IDK about the Steam Deck but I assume it works similarly.

I would dupe the folder, rename the copy to your other Steam ID and sync it back up to Steam Cloud then back down to Steam deck. (Open and close the game on your PC after creating the other folder).
