Patch share with 2 windows users

[erre-kappa]

Hi all.
I used to play game in the primary user and now i created a second user where I want to use same games. There is a way to share same documents folders with same users with steam?
My problem is that when I run the game on the secondary user I cannot use the patches that are located in the first user's document folder. There is a way to make it works without make 2 folders with same files inside?
Thanks in advance

Why are your patches in the documents folder instead of the game folder where they belong?
Anyway, actually sharing document folders is a horrible idea. But you can use hardlinks/folder junctions to make one file/folder appear @ different places. Do that. The mklink command line tool is the way to go.

Patches are in that folder because the game is set that way, I don't know the reason.
thank you very much, I'll try this way

i think you mean mods, plenty of ppl can confirm same windows login and diffrent steam user login, is stlll same games, where diffrent owner per game is there, and update to newest game version, this can only be mods issue per diffrent user.

im not sure if there is a files in steam you can copy to other user ( lets say you can copy workshop content .ini files with you ) that dont fix other nexus mods.

and what prevent you from assign same mods, problem is save game per cloud, again you need to copy it over, not all games has free save game, some use Slot save 4-8 locked entrys.
and you dont want that. ( and 2 diffrent windows login users cant see eachother doc so NO, again you need a cloud save app to let it do it per game, as i said works with few games )

i will say NO not possible, you need to do it, sure a batch file might can do it, but it will be a hell then more and more games has need for this, unless you made 1 per game, to simplfy it.

and that why i said NO, sure will be nice if a app did this. ( to avoid the administation of this )
try scale this up tp 100 of games, then you see the my no part , you will screw this up sooner or later. ( but its doable in few games so its a YES )

i know it can work, but you need to understand why its complicated and yet so simple to do.
but not then you scale it up.
