How do I filter by games I own and with achievements?
Games owned by other accounts keep showing up and there doesn't seem to be a way to block/filter them out.

If I turn off sharing on all accounts will that stop the wrong games from showing up?

LoL, i ask steam to make group with this years ago,

and sense Collection was possible i have made own 2 groups

achievements
and
none-achievements

so then you buy new games it will not be put in same uncategories games as all the game that was not put in none-achievements own group.


ps.
maybe a cleaver script maker can automated this process. in all games, so we dont have to do it manualy.

I play a lot of games and still I find this awful client library interface utterly confusing.
Iceira May 18, 2021 @ 3:51am 
hehe yeah , but after so many years , its like got use to it, and i did not say i accept it. but learn to live with it.

and i have still not sort all but with 750 game i recommend take 1 letter each day, keep in mind with 750+ games its a big task , and i did not make a none steam game collection , so i keep merge with new game this is why i say make 2 group so you dont have to sort thing 2 times on none achivement game.

I have 22 games on this profile, over 3000 in other profiles, which is why I'm trying to stop sharing. It doesn't seem to be working. I went to each account and turned off family sharing and still the library shows the installed games of other accounts.

So, how do I hide other account games?

Even worse, the client refuses to show 'My Games' for this account even though it has this for other accounts. Also the library gives some rubbish uncategorized (24/120) although the account only has the 22 to 24 games so what is this 120 nonsense?

Total buggy incomprehensible mess.

Try ask steam suggestion again, maybe other see your point is vaild with so many games. or share.

ps.
Dont forget then i ask them so many years ago, most did not have 500 games , this surely have change depend on view point and how many you own today.

most get it with 1000+ games then that task is not funny.

You can filter for own games, that will make everything that's not yours disappear.

I can't seem to do that and filter also for the games that have achievements, unless I'm mistaken it's one or the other.

Right, there's no filter for achievements. I suggest you post that in the suggestions forum.

I assume it is because Steam sees ALL the games INSTALLED on your PC, no matter which account you are logged into as Steam cannot differentiate between accounts and know which games belong to each account, it only sees the games installed.

No, it knows exactly which games you own, after I told turned off sharing on all accounts, it still shows the games, both sorted by account and sorted by installed - all accounts. Going 'Home' in the library shows all of the games installed by other accounts, it still offers to let me try to 'borrow; these games whether I want this or not, I don't want this, turning off sharing should disable this but it doesn't.

The client is bugged, instead of 'My Games' this profile's games are instead 'uncategorised' and the number of games is completely wrong.

The worst thing about the library is it is completely unintuitive. I shouldn't have to ask how to use it.

I do not have multiple accounts only a single account hence the use of the word "ASSUME" which you completely ignored.

Secondly I did post and you have confirmed - Steam sees ALL the games INSTALLED on your PC, which translates as it does NOT differentiate between accounts, it ONLY see ALL the games in your library even it it shows other accounts. I did post - no matter which account you are logged into.

As far as I can see Steam is functioning correctly if you have a single Steam install as the library as a whole is seen across all accounts, but you will have to confirm if all games are seen across all accounts you log in to.

There's a dynamic collection that can be made with achievements. Would that work in combination with the filter?
