Only games that have been installed are part of "Games" instead of "My Games" "Such and Such's Games", etc.

Can't install any of the shared games as they don't appear anymore, except they are still shared. Uninstalling any shared game permanently removes it from my library.

If I hover over "Library" it still has the tabs for their games, only the installed ones though.

Tried both beta and non-beta patches. Help please!

You probably have your Library set to show only Installed games.

Sorry, I'm not under installed games, I'm under All Games, and the shared libraries are not appearing (unless they were previously installed).

So someone is sharing games with you or you're the one that share the game? As from what I knew of, if someone is sharing games with you, only the INSTALLED games of the person who shared the game will be display on your games tab. As back when its still in beta, all games include both installed or uninstalled games will all be showing up in the games tab.

So how would I go about installing the non-installed ones? It was fine yesterday :\

you can ask the person who shared the games with you install it on his machine and see if you get the game he just installed to appear your library. As I'm sharing my library with my sister and only the games that I installed appears in her library too.

Thing is, I checked the other computer, they're all installed, and it can see all the games that I have that are not installed. So the other comp is working fine and normal, but mine ain't showing what their's is showing.
