Can't see family shared games

[76561198159290835]

I am using a computer that belongs to my bro, and him and his gf use it most.

But my mum and dad use it sometimes too and my dad shared his games with me with the family sharing.

But when I try to view games the list tells me I can see 'my bros games' or 'my bros gfs games' or 'my games'. The list doesn't let me see my dads games.

Is this because my dad doesn't use steam as much as my bro or his gf, and how do i make the menu show me the option so i can see my dads games to play?

If none of your dad's games are showing up that you know should show up, re-authorize.

Authorize your Steam account under his Steam account's Steam > Settings > Family; and authorize your computer as well.

3rd party DRM protected games are automatically excluded; and games don't get duplicate entries if someone else on your Steam -list shares them.

No I mean in the menu in steam. When I go to 'library' menu it only tells me I can see my bros games or his gfs or my own. My bro and gf haven't even shared their games with me so I don't know why those are even choices for me to click on?

I can see all of my bros games on the left I think he's the one who first started using steam on the PC but I can't play any of them because he didn't share with me.

My bro has the same game as my dad but if I click it to play it tells me that it belongs to him and not my dad so I can't play.

Because they're using the same PC by the sounds of it. The games are still installed in the same location(s).

But like I said, duplicate entries aren't shown in library; not even when Family Shared.
Therefore your dad's; and your brother's display the same game.

Which it is, is random; as is who the lender is in Family Sharing if there's multiple people who own the same license. (For this purpose, a 3rd party tool called sfs-select exists.)

Okay but they both bought the same game and my dad is sharing his copy with me so I can play it (because my bro wouldn't let me), so how do I access it? He only bought it to let me play it there must be a way I can get to it? :/

All I need is the menu to say an option to click to view his games not the games belonging to my bro or his gf which is all I see, his nickname games, his gf nickname games and my games.

Thank you I just saw the update about the sfs-select I will try that :)

I tried it.

I ran sfs-select and I unticked my bros username and clicked ok. I loaded steam but when I try to open the game it still says it belongs to him. I closed steam and opened sfs-select again and his name was still unticked in there, so i clicked ok again and opened steam again but still same problem :/

Just out of curiousity, if you've not yet fixed this.

This just crossed my mind, and might actually not work one bit; but I don't have multiple libraries right now being shared to so I can't test this myself.

If you know the game's APP-ID
( http://steamcommunity.com/app/XXXXX )

Can you try to navigate to the disk it's installed on, i.e.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\

Find the appmanifest_APP-ID.acf (the APP-ID being the XXXXX in the URL above.)
Open it up with WordPad.

Exit Steam.
