In-game editor with Steam family sharing
Hi

Can i use DLC in-game editor if my brother who bought FM19 with editor is sharing his library with me?

Normally DLC's are also shared but for some reason i dont see editor button in FM19.

Anybody is using family sharing on steam and have In-game editor?
Kopuz's 2nd Aug 13, 2019 @ 4:52pm 
I have 2 steam accounts and the computer I am playing on is in a family share with my main account. Anyway on the 2nd account the in game editor is not working. I am going to switch to main account and I bet it works.

I don't believe the DLC item can be used over family sharing I'm afraid.

According to this DLC's are also shared:
https://store.steampowered.com/promotion/familysharing?l=english
"Who owns and can access the DLC and in-game content associated with a shared title?
A guest will have access to the lender's DLC, but only if the guest doesn't also own the base game. Guests may not purchase DLC for a base game they don't own. Any player may purchase, trade, earn, or otherwise acquire in-game content while playing a game, but in-game items cannot be shared between accounts. These items remain the property of the account that purchased or acquired them, whether borrowing or lending the base game."

Okay please email help@sega.co.uk and it can be investigated further. Thanks.

I already created request here https://support.sega.co.uk/hc/en-us/requests/304492 but as far no clear answer why it is not working.

Should I also send email?
Neil Brock  [developer] Aug 20, 2019 @ 2:11pm 
That's the same area as the email, so someone will get back to you. Thanks.

Sorry to write this but my ticket is closed and no clear answer.
"It is not possible to download/access the ingame editor on another user account with the family sharing method.

In this case, Steam does not let you install DLC's for games that you don't own."

And in next:
"As mentioned before, the ingame editor cannot be used through family sharing."

Now i reopened this request for a second time.
Neil Brock  [developer] Sep 2, 2019 @ 4:20am 
Please let me know the new ticket number so I can investigate from our end. Thanks.

Hello again

I reopened old ticket with nr 304492 but with same result. Ticket is again closed without any new answer from Sega.
https://support.sega.co.uk/hc/en-us/requests/304492

Sorry but if all support from Sega looks like this we will not buy any Sega product anymore.

Thank You

Any news from You Neil Brock?
Neil Brock  [developer] Sep 27, 2019 @ 7:18am 
From what I can see from Steam's information:

"but in-game items cannot be shared between accounts. These items remain the property of the account that purchased or acquired them, whether borrowing or lending the base game."

As stated, with Football Manager DLC will not work with family sharing.
Jordan Sep 28, 2019 @ 3:26am 
Maybe I'm stupid but i understand "in-game items" in different way, for example in-game equipment or goods.

There is clear info about DLC's https://store.steampowered.com/promotion/familysharing?l=english

"Who owns and can access the DLC and in-game content associated with a shared title?
A guest will have access to the lender's DLC, but only if the guest doesn't also own the base game. Guests may not purchase DLC for a base game they don't own. Any player may purchase, trade, earn, or otherwise acquire in-game content while playing a game, but in-game items cannot be shared between accounts. These items remain the property of the account that purchased or acquired them, whether borrowing or lending the base game."

You mean your brother won't buy any Sega products anymore?.. It's been clear for a while now but your pretending like you have rights to make use of the editor while u don't own it. Your seeing it as DLC but u need to look at it as a in-game item.

(Guests may not purchase DLC for a base game they don't own. Any player may purchase, trade, earn, or otherwise acquire in-game content while playing a game,but in-game items cannot be shared between accounts )

So to come back on your latest post, yeah you are.

BTW to the rest: Sell your shares of Sega, Jordan and his brother are not buying Sega products anymore so the company probably will go bankrupt now.
Jordan Sep 29, 2019 @ 12:13pm 
Yes, im sure You are right.
Especially because in-game editor is visible on Steam as a DLC...

"Every little helps"
Thats all what i want to say.
