Family sharing issue
Hello,

I want to share 2 of my games (Torchlight II and Ark Survival Ascended) with my daughter.
She has her own steam account.
But after activating family sharing for these games, they appear as "to purchase" when logged with her account.
All is fine with my account.
We are using the same PC, not in same time, with our own user sessions. The files are installed in a subdirectory in /opt (Linux OS).

Any idea of what I am doing wrong ?

Looks like you're setting up Family View. Family Share can't be set for singular games, only for all of them. If you get checkboxes for games, that's not Share.

Also, you have to select a specific account for sharing.

Family sharing is the whole library rather than standalone games. Also not every game can be share either. Read about it here along with the FAQ https://store.steampowered.com/promotion/familysharing
