Shared Library issue with a game we both own

[cleli]

Hello dear Forum!

I face an issue regarding the Game Among Us. I installed it from a shared library, so I don't own it. Today I bought Among Us, so it technically needs to be my own now. But when I see the game via Steam, it says under the ,,Play" button: From Shared library.

My question:
Is there an option I can tell Steam I do not want to the shared Among us from my friend, but from my own gallery?

I needed it bought, because I can't install mods this way, since it says I don't own the game.

Thanks for your help!

Your account game data is private so i can't see if it looks like you own the game to me or not. But.. your "Game Collector badge"

Suggests the last game you successfully bought on Steam was on November 20th. So not today.

If you look at your purchase history does it say the purchase of Among Us today "failed" or is "pending"?

Well, the game collector badge has changed its timestamp by now, so I'm assuming the purchase went through and Steam is now using your own license?

Just in case...

The system picks the library that is shared and that leads to headaches, even if both accounts own the game in question.

Only other way around it is SFS Select...

You should all use it when multiple people are using sharing for multiple accounts and own the same game that is being shared on multiple accounts.

Thanks guys, indeed something went wrong with the purchase in the first place. I left the shared library in order to make Steam realize I own it by now, and Among Us Challenger succesfully installed this time and is playable. :)
