MessiasOF Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The title is pretty self-explanatory, I have some games acquired through Family Sharing. They are already installed on my machine, is there a way for Launchbox to recognize them somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to manually add them like any windows game by pointing to, or dragging and dropping the game.exe file. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpujunkie Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 In the launch options for the game maybe finding the gameid and adding steam://rungameid/thesteamidnumber See if it launches the game. Also having the steam game url will also allow launchbox to download Metadata from steam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the second account where the games are is also mine. If I was able to connect more than one steam account on Launchbox maybe it would work natively. I mean, if there is not already an addon for this. And the drag and drop also worked well. Thank you both @cpujunkie, @neil9000! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 There wouldn't be a need to add two API keys, only change the profile name. Though I'm not entirely sure if the install check would work or not because I'm not sure if the family sharing games store the installation data in the registry the same way or not. If you try it let me know how it goes for ya, you got me curious now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
