Is there any way to have steam games shared from family members get auto added and scanned? My brother, son and I have a large amount of shared titles, I have found I can manually add games they have shared with me but its awkward for a large library. Maybe I remember wrong but I thought when steam sharing came out I was seeing achievements I earned on their titles show up in my recents here without manual adding the game....? For my son on his account here its even more work due to 90% of his "Library" on steam being our games shared to his account. Lots of remembering to manual add titles. Have not been on site much lately, been busy. Glad to see Patreon, will have to setup an account. As the only good cross platform (even retroachievements.org support :grin:) achievement tracking site that exists I appreciate this site and would hate to see it get left behind or be not worth developing. Never was one to worry about manual scan credit limit, fine with waiting but manual adding titles chews up scan credits, 50 credits a day with Patreon hmmm more than I need..., just wish I could share them with sons account here lol edit: Setup Patreon for manual scan credits and linked it in profile here. Not seeing scan credits added to account yet. Is there a time delay or did I do something wrong? :) |

Thanks for pledging! The patreon is a manual process to activate on the site, so now I have connected it for you. Family scanned games should be picked up by the "Manually Queue Games Scan", at the top right part of the my games list --- if they have been played during the most recent two weeks. This is a feature I added just the other day; so let me know if it is not working as intended. The 2-week limit is sadly a limitation from Steam. |

Cool I will play with launching a game title then using the "manual queue game scan button" you mentioned. I have found a problem with manual adding games that are platform merged in certain cases. eg. if I own and played Darksiders years ago on PSN unlocked a few Trophies scanned here. Now I play a shared copy on steam, and go to manually add it on the merged page here http://metagamerscore.com/game/30335 but I can't no button, only hide or display the owned PSN version. All the "manually add game" buttons for the remaining platforms are gone. Will try the above mentioned idea as a workaround but thought it might be easy for the remaining platform manual add buttons to display even if owned on one particular platform. |
