Can I NEW! Download My Steam Games On Multiple Computers

so i just got a (pretty nice i might add) hand me down computer, that i am leaving on the main floor of our home. my basement computer, which is where i normally game, has been set up on steam for some time, and worked fine. the key word there, is WORKED. now, steam will not let me sign in for some reason. do i NEED to have a separate account for each computer? do i have to log out of steam on one, before i can log in on the other one? is there something else i need to do to make this work? thanks

You can use your steam account on more than one computer, but only one of them can be used at a time. For example, you cannot be playing a game on one computer (with your account) while another person plays on the other computer (also with your account).

That's wrong, you can be logged in in multiple places, has been like that for several years as it's how you can stream games. You can't play at 2 places at the same time, but the client can be open in as many as you want.

I asked Steam that question a long time ago and that is what the support replied to my ticket said. Steam customer support said one steam account can be login to multiple computers but only one computer with steam account can be online and play multiplayer games.

Steam Family Library Sharing allows family members and their guests to play one another's games while earning their own Steam achievements and saving their own game progress to the Steam Cloud. It's all enabled by authorizing shared computers and users.

I have a desktop in my room I game on but I want my roommates to be able to also game on my media center in the living room. They are both my computers running under my windows live account and my steam account...do I really have to get a completely separate steam account for my media center pc and repurchase all my games in oder to be able to be on both st the same time? That seems really infuriating to me, but wondering if there is a way around. Perhaps keep my media center pc's steam account offline all the time unless my desktop is not being used?

Is it possible to have both computers logged in at once? I know if I was playing a single player game, I could set Steam into offline mode, then resume the download on the other computer, but this won't work for multi player games.

As several people have mentioned, it is now possible to be logged in on multiple computers at once. Only one computer can be playing a game at a time though. If you start a game while another computer is already in one, you will be notified and told that it will close the other game if you start.

It is not possible to be logged onto Steam in two computers if one of the computers is downloading or playing a game online. One of the Steam accounts must be in offline mode to be logged into both at once.

Just to make sure there's a more current response: I spent about 5 months being able to be logged in on two computers at once. It suddenly stopped allowing that yesterday. I did install a game on the second computer for the first time about a week ago, before that I just streamed to it occasionally, so maybe there's something to the download/online multiplayer thing.

I did start once the same game on two computers simultaneously. The one of them starts the game normally and the second one gives pop-up message asking me if I want to stream the game that is already started?. So, I understand that in the future if I may be streaming i will use this option.

What this does is creates a symbolic link between your local Sims saves folder and your cloud storage saves folder, so any changes to your save file is also made to your cloud folder. If you do this on both computers then you will always have both of them linked.

Origin and the EA App don't support storing user data, including saves, in a custom location. There settings are for games' install locations. Sims 4 will always look for user data in Documents > Electronic Arts, and the only ways around that are to move the location of Documents or to use a symbolic link to point to another location. Syncing is different: the game will still use the default location, but the files will be backed up elsewhere and in some cases automatically shared between computers.

I just wanted to bring attention to a certain issue I've experienced since the initial steam release of DD2 and a temporary fix for anyone also experiencing the issue. I've done many searches and seen a few people with the same issue, but no solution to the problem. I play DD2 on both my laptop(1366x768) and my desktop monitor(1920x1080). I first installed DD2 on my desktop and was able to play in windowed full screen on 1920x1080 resolution just fine, however when I installed it on my laptop and used windowed full screen it somehow affected my desktop's settings. I could only select 1366x768 under the windowed full screen drop down bar. For me windowed full screen is a must because I alt tab quite a bit. I tried submitting a bug report in game but the steam web browser crashed so I got annoyed and decided to just post it here. For anyone that asks, yes, I have reinstalled the game on both laptop and desktop as well as tried reverting the settings to default using the in game button.

The service can be enabled for up to five Steam accounts to share a single collection of games across as many as 10 different computers. During the beta that Valve had been running until now, the limit had been 10 users. Under the Family Sharing program, Steam maintains game saves in the Steam Cloud and tracks achievements for each account.

You can see that I forward for example port 80 to computer Black and Black2. Will computer "Black" and computer "Black2" receive all incoming packages on port 80 of the router now, and other computers won't receive anything?

Incoming packets on port 80 of the router's external interface are going to either Black or Black2. It is hard to tell which one, it depends on the order in which the router internally processes the rules. The fact that Black comes first in your web management does not necessarily mean that its rules have a higher priority than those regarding Black2. One thing is correct, though: other computers won't receive anything.

If that is the case, you do not need port forwarding at all.You only need to open up these ports in the router's firewalland on your computers. You will need to undo the port-forwarding,or only one computer will be able to play.

my brother wants to buy fm but is unsure if his laptop will handle it , could i give him my steam account so he could download the game and play for a bit , would i be able to play still on my computer . thanx.

If you purchased your Spectrasonics instrument directly through our webstore, you would have downloaded an installation folder for your instrument. It is always recommended to keep these installation folders as you can use them for multiple installations.

I'm new to LaunchBox. I just built a computer for emulation, and for Steam remote play. Adding all of the steam games from both my account and my boyfriend's account was easy, and the games work - automatically streaming from our respective computers. We've both logged in to steam on the computer with launchbox, and both accounts have family share enabled.

However, Steam will only stream from the computer where the same account is logged in. ie, I can't stream his games and he can't stream mine. The exception is for games we have installed on each others' computers with family share.

1. Rather than using the steam:// uri, use the steam app as the game, and enter -login and -applaunch command line options. This has the huge downside of having to store steam passwords in the command line options in Launchbox. It also has the downside of it seemingly not working for streaming. For example, if I run "steam://rungameid/359870", and I'm logged into steam, it will start streaming Final Fantasy X from my desktop. If I run "Steam.exe -login sarahbau hunter2 -applaunch 359870", it attempts to install the game on the Launchbox computer, rather than streaming it.

2. Just install all games we want to stream on one of the two of our computers. This has the downside of requiring some of the games to be installed on multiple computers, even if only one of us plays it. For example, if my boyfriend wanted to play Recettear on the TV, I'd have to have it installed, or if we used his account on the Launchbox computer and I wanted to play Final Fantasy X, he'd have to have it installed. I think this also means steam cloud wouldn't be shared, because it would be running from a different account.

3. Write a program that will, depending on the game id, first login to either one of the accounts, then run the steam://rungameid uri to launch the game streaming. This is what I'm currently leaning toward, unless Launchbox has something built-in to handle multiple steam accounts. I actually already have some of this written since I used to make a different steam account per game (back before family sharing it allowed us to share games without having to worry about kicking the other offline)

I believe this is just how the steam streaming works, you will have to have his games installed on your PC to play them, and likewise he will need to install your games on his PC, this is a requirement of the family sharing, the games you are sharing need to be physically installed on the PC you are playing it from. You cant stream from one user account to another, steam streaming only works with to PC's both logged into the same account. 2351a5e196
