Got access to the steam family sharing beta. Anyone else have started using it? I am not getting head and tail of it.

Re: Steam related discussions
^ Same here. I got family sharing beta access too.
But dont know how to do that?
This guide: *support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=3784-QLBM-5731 is of no use. And I cant see any option to share games on steam client. And it updated just today. :/

Re: Steam related discussions
I got some idea, and it will be useless for me. Suppose you want to share your games with me, you have to access my pc(either come to my place or using teamviewer), login into steam using your own id, and then in settings add a authorization of my pc. After that I will be able to access your games.
You cannot specify games, your entire library will be shared.
Once you start playing any games, I will not be able to play any games of yours', and if I am already playing, I will be kicked out.
@vyom, opt in for beta first :- Link

Re: Steam related discussions
Well, I even enabled "Beta Participation" from Steam settings. Still no option to do family sharing.

Re: Steam related discussions
If your client is updated, you will get the option to authorize devices for family sharing in the settings. Not much use, as your whole library will be shared rather than individual games, so 2 members of the family can't access the same library at the same time. This basically beats the purpose of sharing.
For me, its like this: I play at my gaming PC, while downloading with my alt account at the other PC.

Re: Steam related discussions
Guys I have just purchased Batman Arkham City GOTY Edition from Steam. Now the thing is that I already have a SKIDROW ISO file for the same, so I don't want to download the whole game again. Is there anyway I can use that ISO file to install the game.

Copy the "Ahem" folder to steamapps/common it wll just download 500mb or something more
And be sure,first start the download for a min or 2.
Then,copy the game folder-NOTE:Make sure the game name and folder name is exactly the same.
Lol I suffered when I copied borderlands 2(ahem) to steamapps as boderlands And I was wondering why is steam download the whole game

^This, but dont start the download.... After the copy completes. Then only start the download.
Googling will tell you the folder name in steamapp folder.

Re: Steam related discussions
Well I guess I know the rules. I have been using the forum for quite long time. I was asking if I can use that ISO file to install the game because downloading 18GB on a 512kbps connection is pain in the @ss so I don't think I did anything wrong. I have already paid developers, what does it matter if I install it using steam or a ISO file.

Re: Steam related discussions
Well, you can install the game from the iso and then copy the files to the steam install folder and update. But I don't think that would help since a large portion might still need to be downloaded, depending upon the updates since the game released and what's not included in the iso. Better to be safe and download via Steam.
