Using Steam with more than 5 accounts

15 September 2024, 08:43:20

So i have steam with more than 5 accounts. i wanted to play eso with a guild bank so having 10 eso accounts was necessary to play with 4 guild banks. plus one guild for trading that i didnt own. that meant having 10 eso accounts and so to manage that is meant i had to use steam really as steam stores the logins for 5 accounts. One solution is to install two oses... artix and artix? Another spolution would seem to use one os and 2 user accounts excpet that i am trying that now and while i can get a second user account on the same install of artix and i can see steam and i can even add the steam library path from the other artix user account - the dagone thing will not play the eso game. i get caught in a loop where it tries to verify my installed files all over again. it never plays. Since it installed on the same artix the directory for steam which is /Steam is mounted by fstab and neither user owns it but the eso game does launch for user1 but not for user2. It was moiunted as /home/user1/Steam but i changed that. could be some permisssions were set to make it owned by user1 in the past?

Is anyone else here having a good idea what the problem might be?

so i tried to symlink from the user1 directory to the user2 directory and that did link but it's back to the validation loop again.
