FF VII Rebirth doesn't open, wants me to use Steam client (which I'm obviously using)

[shishimaru1000]

Hi all.

When I open the game, a game's window appears saying that I should use the Steam client but of course I'm using it. Any suggestions? The game closes after this window.

You do know your owned games list is public, right? Looking at it you don't have this in your library. I can imagine the bug fix would be in whatever your local currency is...

bro wants to publicly announce his piracy activity.

Nope, not pirated it. If I did, it would make sense that it gives me the "use the steam client" error. As far as I know, I'm still allowed to write here with the account on my personal laptop if at home we have another account.

Before being clowns assigning me the "clown reward", learn to live in this world and to not incriminate people.

That error comes up for anyone trying to launch the executable directly. Which you would have to be doing, because the game isn't in your library or even recently played games list. Though if you absolutely insist you own the game perhaps you should reach out to Steam support over it not existing in your account. That'll totally fix it.

Like the other guy said. We can literally see you own 152 games on Steam and Final Fantasy 7 rebirth is not one of them. Meaning you pirated it or you got it from another store like Epic games and you are on the wrong forum.

Except it's not, I had the same issue with FF VII Remake (but it was purchased on Epic) and I resolved it easily. I'll move to Steam support then. Eventually we'll get refunded.

That'll be a neat trick since you disn't buy the game on Steam.

Non-sense answers. You guys are real ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ incriminating me for nothing and zero proof (and seeing my library isn't proof, I am still *allowed* to come with my account and ask here). Beside this, I'm not this dumb - as you peeps clearly are instead - to pirate a game and come here.

Triple dumb, we clearly purchase game in family. And you have proof this time.

No wonder the world is going this bad, people are assuming and taking action out of nothing.

Anyways, I can easily resolve this as I said, as Steam will provide a refund at the account I use home with family. I'm done here with you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

If you were telling the truth, you wouldn't have had to set your profile to private. If you can't afford the game, don't come complaining that it doesn't work to people who did.

You can try adding it in the GAMES menu.
There is an ACTIVATE a product on Steam and ADD a NON STEAM game to my library option.

If you got it through Steam family play I'm not too familiar with that, but heres a vid on how to use family sharing.
