I own a copy of Stardew Valley on my steam account, i bought it for the wife but she never played it.
Anyway i built her own PC about 2 weeks ago and made her own steam account, then did a family share so she could play it on hers, without realising you can only have one person using one games library (i thought it was ok to both use the same library, as long as it wasnt the same game).

Shes got totally addicted to Stardew and got quite far in the game, but its stopped me playing my own Steam games.
If i buy a copy of Stardew on her account for herself, how will it work with regards to game saves?
Will she just be able to start the game as before but using the copy she owns herself, on her pc and it'll load her game save?
I'm confused because of cloud saves etc.
Any help id much appreciated.
 
Was just worried her save would be "linked" to the family shared version of Stardew, not the one she will be playing that im going to buy for her account.
 
Bought it, didnt need to do anything it just checked the existing files and now shows under her own games not under my shared games, logged in and all of her saves are there. sorted :D
