Since some Lemmy users have asked me via DM and also searched my other socials to ask me about my old bypass I thought I’d share my new one with Lemmy too.
I also uploaded the source in case anyone wants to look at it (or even extend it, who knows).
Sorry for the extraordinary wait.
Have fun guys :)
Edit: I should have known Lemmy wouldn’t like a semi private forum, even though it’s all about things like this there. Here is the already build SLSsteam.so + Source Code for anyone to download anonymously if they prefer it that way.
To use it just extract the SLSsteam.so somewhere and then start steam like this:
LD_AUDIT="/full/path/to/SLSsteam.so" steam
Building is easy too, just run the included build.sh

Edit2: Uploaded update with more hooks because I just noticed family sharig still killed some games
I’d be very careful with using tools like that. I can’t imagine Valve will simply let this slip if they detect it.
Tools like this have existed for maaany years already. Just look at GreenLuma, which has quite the userbase. Nothing’s happened to me yet and I’ve been doing this for 10+ years.
But you’re right, as always use at your own risk since Valve can at any point and time disable your account/revoke your licenses etc

Anyone know about family sharing “tools” as opposed to “games”? I bought RPG Makers but can’t share them because they’re classified as tools and not games.
Added brief instructions and a download that doesn’t require registering to the post. I hope everyone is happy now

Yeah, sorry CS RIN is semi public. But having an account there is definitely very useful, considering their forums are full of Steam games and useful tools for different stores.
Was the best forum to post into, because it fits perfectly on topic.
You should also upload it somewhere else so people can have access to it without registering to a shady forum they might not necessarily know or trust.
Alright, fine. My activity here is a lot less than on CS RIN though, so support & updates might take longer
What’s the Steam Family Sharing Lock?
For example if your family sharing library has 1 license for a Game only one of it’s members will be able to play it simultaneously. This modification disables that lock for everyone using it
Does it put you in offline mode or is there some other kind of magic?
The lock is client sided, that’s the magic. You can play online just fine, I use it all the time to play multiplayer with my friends :)
Fantastic! Thanks for this.
No problem Mr. Ace! :)
They will ban your account and you will be crying because they took away all your games. Dont abuse the system is pretty generous already.

Projecting much? I’ve been using mods like this for a good decade. Also Valve has way bigger fish to fry with their shitty abusable shop system, all the people selling Steam market items on other websites and so on. The list is long
>Dont abuse the system is pretty generous already.You know what community this is in, right? It’s all about bypassing and abusing the system to get shit for freeEdit: Corrected some false statements on my part.
Huh? Thats not true. Dbzero the creator of this community is pirate by principle to fuck the bad companies , not to abuse and get shit for free from companies that treat their customers okay.
Well then sorry for spewing false nonsense. I know Lemmy will flame me for this but Valve is still a soulless corporation fucking everyone over. Just not as much as most others
