So heres the dealio. Me and a buddy are doing that family share on Steam. He has Hawken and told me to download it and play with him. So i did,but when i downloaded it it didnt go into my library. It counted it as i am sharing it from his library even though its a free to play game and i downloaded from the store. So the problem became that we couldnt play it together becaue i was "sharing it from him" and when he got on it Steam kicks me off. Team Fortress 2 is a free to play that he and i both have and can play together at the same time so i dont know why Hawken isnt working. I hope that made sense, help me smart people! That would be awesome!

Same as what Merl said basically (except the phrase is "worst comes to worst" :P). Find the game folder and just make a shortcut to the .exe file and launch from that. It doesn't require you to be logged in to Steam at all.
I honestly hope they change that soon to help with the rampant plague of alt accounts... but I do like not having to run Steam to play.

To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

disable Family Sharing
reinstall and play Hawken
??? enable family sharing
profit
all else fails, make a shortcut to the exe

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Why mech game make when you no mech game have you don't want to make?

Relative to wherever your steam library is:
X:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Hawken\Binaries\Win32\HawkenGame-Win32-Shipping.exe
