Add option to change preferred copy, while the game is in-use.

[Dudis]

Someone can sometimes use my copy of the game, for the DLCs, and even tho there are still more copies left with different dlcs, Steam will just block me from playing MY copy, and won't even let me choose for another one. At least let me change the preferred copy...

you can change the preferred copy by right clicking and going to properties

there will be an option saying "Shared from your Steam Family member <friend's name>. Change preferred copy"

Yeah, also in the DLC tab, but that feels like a workaround many people might not find, considering they knew the button was right there under play, until someone started playing.

I think this is just a bug for now, since previous family sharing is still on. Hope they add the button to change this from the games screen

I had the same problem, however I don't see the option to "change the preferred copy" even though there are 3 owners of the game in the family and only 1 of them was playing at the time.

Yeah I have the same problem with dying light 2, but in my case:
we have 2 copies and even if anyone is playing it my firend can't play it because it says that somebody else is alredady playing

Same. Some games have this option, some don't
