Can't access game, because friend has family sharing on steam

[1212rajaryans]

Hi devs,

Hope everyone is well.
My friend and I have steam family sharing on and he has the game already. he shared an invite with me and I saw the game in our library and thought it was my copy. Now he can't play when i am online and I cant download a separate copy of the game. My invite is showing as already joined but the two of us cannot play at the same time.

Best,
Prayz

I asked one guy in the community if he could invite me -> he did and after an hour I still had no invite so I thought he was "trolling" me. So I removed him from my friend list and asked another guy. He invited me, sent me a screenshot, so I thanked him and removed him from my friends list. After a day, still nothing came. I saw that my friend was already playing this game (I missed it the day before), he invited me too and after 3 days still no invite. Meanwhile, my brother asked his friend to have access, he got it up to 2 hours. Today I created a Steam account for my wife, asked my brother to invite her and it took up to 30 minutes. I have set up sharing on my computer and now I can play under my account BUT I would like to have full access to this game - which is impossible due to a bug.
So dear developers, fix the bug OR allow asking to enter the game via Steam like in other games, you are making half of the community upset.

Similar error. Invite sent me 2 people, waited almost two days, nothing came. Then I saw that there is a play button, but it was because of "Family access". Now apparently I won't be able to get a separate key at all?
