Unable to install Free-to-Play Game remotely
I recently came across Star Conflict and wished to install it remotely so that it would be ready to try out when I got home, however when I navigate to the game in a browser or the mobile app it just says play now and no option to add it to my library to start a remote install. Can anyone help?!

1. Are you logged into Steam on the PC you want to download it on?

2. Where are you going to locate the game? You should go to your "All Games" setcion through your profile.

Thank you for your reply!

1. No, I am on steam from a browser on a different computer logged into my account. I can see my home computer is the one logged into the steam application. I have also tried from the steam mobile app.

2. I can see my games in my library, and I am able to find Star Conflict in the store, but the only option is to "Play Now" which attempts to install the game on the computer I am currently using. However I can remotely install games already in my library remotely.

If I could add the game to my library then I should be able to install it remotely, but since I am not at the computer I want to install it on Steam keeps trying to install it on the PC I am using right now.

Go to your profile on the mobile app. Click "games" and it should be there.

That only shows the games currently in my library, but I cant add the Free-To-Play game to my library remotely so its not listed there :(

No, it has all my other games I've installed previously or currently have installed but not the one I want to add.

Log out/in to the mobile app again and then check.

Its not there. I haven't tried to install it on my gaming PC before, so I don't think Steam has granted me a license for it even though its free-to-play. I just came across it today while I'm away from the house.
