2 Users?

Is it a way to have two payday 2 accounts on the same steam profile? My little brother wants to play this game too but i dont want him to play on my user

Could have to make a different save for him.. But you will have to swap every time... And achievements will be one for account... Ehhh...

I think steam family share is what your looking for, not sure how it works but give it a try.

There is. You can use the Family Share option. Your brother will have access to the game and all the DLC´s you own, but will not be able to change your saves.

You can register a second steam-profile with family-access for him

yes but not "online" you are going to have to log into ur accont on ur pc then go offline mod then do the same with his then use a LAN cable and both play offline.

Does he have to use his own computer, or could he use mine. Because his cannot run it

Family Sharing lets you link the libraries of two Steam accounts. You do not necessarily need a new PC, and saves for the game are based on or are at least saved in folders related to your Steam ID, so you cannot play someone else's file from your account on the same PC.

he would have the dlc, i use this method myself and i purchase the dlc's on my original steam account and family share my library to to this account.

@OP create a new steam account, login to it. Sign back in to your current account, click steam > Settings > Family > you should see the new steam account in a list, check the box and click authorise this computer, click ok.

Sign back in to the new account and your games library will be shared to the new account.
All achievements will be locked, he will not use your save game.

Any mods that you have installed will be running on his account also as the files are stored in the payday 2 folder and the DLL is set to hook in at launch.

the only thing he will not be able to do is add friends, he can join the steam group but will not be able to enter the chat room as that requires a $5 purchse on steam as does adding friends.

Obviously you will not be able to play online together even if you have 2 computers as when one person is playing the game it blocks out the other person from playing too, for that you would need to buy a 2nd copy of payday 2 from the steam store.

Hope this helps with whatever you wanted to know.

Set up Steam Family Sharing. What you need to do is log in to YOUR Steam account on the computer he wants to use for it, then go under Steam > Settings. Under the Family tab, click "Authorize this Computer" and check his account name. After that, restart Steam and he'll be able to play it.

What's really great about Family Sharing is that it can actually give you promo items that other people have. For example, because my brother owns Hotline Miami 2 (he bought it just for Jacket...), I get access as well.
