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 built 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

Also has an installer which supports fish shell and .desktop entries. If you use one of those you can just run ./setup.sh install to install it. If the installer doesn’t work for you, you can still use the manual method.

Uninstallation: Run ./setup.sh uninstall

To build it just run: make

    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 :)

          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.
