Family Share dlc not showing up

[Roah]

Hello,

I bought some dlc to my brother for guilty gear strive, he got the dlc just fine on his account but when i play on my account using family share it show me all the dlc he own exept the two last one... which are the one lately aquired.

Does someone know how to be able to get all dlc though family share and not only part of it ?

Ps: This is not the first time i bough dlc for this game, as said the other dlc work just fine only the last bought one doesn't work

Mis-synchronizations can happen. I suggest you have your brother revoke sharing with you, then sharing with you again. That should get things up to state.

So i've did that, i've also reinstalled steam, no matter what i do i'm stuck with 2 dlc out of 4

Its possible the publisher has flagged those DLC as not available for Family Share,maybe even by accident. It can happen.

Who owns and can access the DLC and in-game content associated with a shared title?

A guest will have access to the lender's DLC, but only if the guest doesn't also own the base game. Guests may not purchase DLC for a base game they don't own. Any player may purchase, trade, earn, or otherwise acquire in-game content while playing a game, but in-game items cannot be shared between accounts. These items remain the property of the account that purchased or acquired them, whether borrowing or lending the base game.

Do you own the base game? If so, DLC will not share to you.

EDIT: Considering you've written a review for it, yep, you own it and cannot benefit from shared DLC.

i do not own the game or any DLC, Having writed a review for it make it think i own the game you think ?

Yes because you can NOT write reviews for games you dont own personally own on that account.
You also cant review games you play via Family Share.
So if you wrote a review for the game your account must own or owned at some point the game.

That's weird i've never bought the game, when i look at the comment it said i've activated it though a key... but when i remove the access from my brother library i cannot play the game it ask me to buy it. Can you deactivate a game on steam ?
I'll delete the evaluation and try again see if does something :/

[Ogami]

Yes. Go to the Support page, search for the game, select it and then "Its not in my library".
If you at any point in the past owned the game and deactivated the license it will give you the option to restore it.

But even that cant be the reason for the DLC not showing up, as long as the license is inactive the Family Share license is dominant and should grant you the DLC when playing it.
All very strange.

So as an update on that, are you sure you can put review on family shared game since i can put a review on Devil may cray 5 and just like GGX i do not own the game...

[Ogami]

You can write it but it wont let you publish it.
Here as an example, i played 40 hours of "Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town" with Family Share and when i try to publish a review for the game i get this error:

[Roah]

Well in that case, i've send a ticket to the support i'll see if they can do something :/

[Roah]

From the support it seem that the game dlc was put as private so i couldn't access them, i put that there in case someone need this information

You can't write a review for a game you don't own. Why did you delete the review for guilty gear?

Edit: Seems now you can leave a review on a family shared game. Just tried a test on my other account and the review posted.
