Steam Question - Real easy...

Firegod · 23 Jul 2009 at 17:33

My bro has got the Half-Life Orange Box and I would also like to play Episode 1 and Episode 2 when he is finished. They are registered under his Steam account, is it possible for me to install the game on my PC and just use his login to play?

Or does he have to uninstall them and then somehow unregister them from his Steam account?

Thanks for the clarification!

if i am correct , if you log into his steam account on your computer, you will be able to downlaod/install the games, however, you cant be logged into his steam account and him logged into it aswell (at the same time)

No uninstall needed. Just sign in with his details, download and play.

If you download them and set your steam to offline mode, you'll be able to play them without disrupting him logging in afaik.

Yeah i used it while at my cousin's house to show him some games.

Just make double sure you don't login while your cousin is on!

You can download and play your steam games on any computer.

Just make sure you're not online at the same time as the other person if you're both using the same account.

My bro logged in when I was playing Prototype. As long as I didnt click on the Close or Login button when the window came up saying he logged in I could play on the account and so could he.

This was obviously not on online games but we could both play single players.
