Is there a way to split a steam account somehow?

[Stim Addict]

Me and my brother share a steam account, but the problem is that if one of us is playing on steam, the other can't play even though we're on different computers. Neither of us want to start a new steam account because we don't want to lose our games and our saves. I know family sharing can let different steam accounts share games but that wouldn't transfer game saves as far as I know. What should we do?

Nope.

Sharing the same account is not allowed.

You each need to have one and you should just use steam families and in many games you should be able to transfer save files if they are stored on your pc.

Make 2 account, sooner the better, also open up for later can play same game together, and no more issue on who is play what game, also end the debat who is who's account then you might have both bought games on same account or parent's did it.

And make games on wish list on new account so you can buy what other need, i will not call iot split account but best ways to solve future issue among you guys later in life.

And family share actual dont solve play same game afaik.

Also raise a issue steam use a personal account per user, so technicaly someday you will brake steam own rules on share the same account.

ps.
and be happy some bother to tell you this, this is maybe not here and now, just wait to both are adult and dont live at home, gl figure who is that account then both have games on it.

steam is not going to solve this for your family.
so stop share same account and get help from parents now. ( you do not want to argur with your brother about it. ) this is learn from other steam users that got into trouble later in life.

also ask yoursefl this how will you have steam to fix it, then games bought is bound to a account forever ( also why parrents need to make 2 account and make the effort in the solve over time and get games to other account ) then they go on sales.

gl with it.

Like Iceria suggested ealier ... Both you and your brother need to make new accounts and family share with the original account.

Going forward, put all new games on your seperate accounts.

The good news is, the big summer sale isn't too far away!

Still, you must be first person to WANT to share saves between accounts. Usually, people are p*ssed when they notice that, as an example, they use the same save as the other guy on the same computer on the same Windows user, even though they are using a different Steam account...

And yes, Steam does not support this. Saves are only shared "by accident" because the game just happens to use the same location for both users; however, if a one-time copy is enough you can certainly do that. Otherwise, you might be able to use some (non-Steam) cloud utility with synchronization capabilities to synchronize the save across multiple computers, regardless of Steam accounts (because those other cloud utilities only see files, they don't know about Steam accounts).

You can manually manage most save games. There's usually not bound to the Steam account. Although depending on the game they could be bound to the game's user account if it has one. Hard to say you made a pretty general claim and I have no idea what games you're playing. Although most of the games I've played for the last 25 years years you can easily grab and move saves around, between systems and installations without issue. My experience would seem to be in opposition to your claim, generally speaking.
