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.

Edit: Removed most of the post and added git link.

    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

      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 :)

            Damn that’s insane. We always had a bit trouble finding games to play together that we all have, waiting for a sale and what not. This would be really nice to play with some close friends and family.

              Yeah, it’s great. Just fyi in case you wanna family share with your friends and Steam tells you “…not living in the same household…” is easily fixed by login into your friends account on your PC and vice versa.

              You can use Rustdesk for that, so you don’t have to tell each other your passwords. Just keep in mind that families are restricted to 6 members atm

                We got tailscale installed on all of our devices with them connected to my PC so I think using exit node will solve the IP issue. Thanks for the tip.

              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 free

              Edit: Corrected some false statements on my part. Edit2: Undid first edit because seems like I got fed false informations

                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

                  Ok @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com Let’s settle this debate, does the dbzer0 instance and/or the Piracy community here push the “Good Guy Valve” stance and thus consider this bad practice, or do we consider Valve to be like any other company which uses DRM in regards to this situation. That is to say it is permitted and encouraged like breaking any other DRM.
                  Would love to hear your thoughts on this matter.

                  If dn0 isn’t available, another community mod or instance admin can feel free to answer this, I CCed you in the bottom of this comment. I apologize if the ping was annoying.

    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.

      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

            That makes sense, better late than never I guess. Which if it were only on the forum, for people not registered to that forum it might as well be never.
