    Family Sharing Multiplayer Problems


    Hi everyone,

    Unfortunately I have a big problem.

    My brother and I each have a Xbox One in one house. Therefore, we have Family Sharing enabled, so he downloads the games and I can play them as well. The problem is this now:

    Some games (such as Forza Horizon 2 or Project Spark) I just can not play online often, in Forza 2 Horizon I could just barely join a game and in Project Spark I'am also very often unable to join my brother (we are currently working on a game). Yesterday
    we tried to turn off family sharing since Project Spark is free anyway, we have tested it from time to time and each time it worked immediately.

    I don't understand the whole, is this a bug or by design of Microsoft, as described above, the problem occurs frequently, but not always.

    I hope I get some help here.

    greeting



    (Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Germany)

    :)

    THIS IS ***

    People need to stop moaning about family sharing. Just because microsoft was going to allow you to share your game with 10 people does not mean the publishers will. They would have had the ability to block family sharing i believe. Questions for family sharing
    were left unanswered. Would players be able to play multiplayer through the sharing function? I would not be surprised if this family sharing was for singleplayer only. I am sorry, but i would rather take no drm and no always online check thing then a feature
    that could possibly turn out to suck tremendously.

    Multi player is not working with game share.. I can download the games of game pass but just no live multi player... making me crazy I don't understand the ussue

    Hello InkBoxTatto,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

    I'm so sorry for what you're going through yes, multiplayer may not work with shared play.

    Game sharing is a feature that allows members of a family to share their games and subscriptions with other family members. However, live multiplayer is not included in the shared game.

    To play live multiplayer, the family member signing into the game must have an active Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

    In this case, the person sharing games with you may not have an active Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. If so, you will not be able to play live multiplayer.

    To check if the person you're sharing games with has an active Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you can ask them to go to Settings > Account > Subscriptions.

    If the person you're sharing games with has an active Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, but you still can't play live multiplayer, there may be another issue.

    Source: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardw...etwork/xbox-one-multiplayer-connection-errors

    These are basic solutions to these problems, but they can lead to a solution, remember that this is a public forum where we are players like you who want to help, good luck and happy day.

    Sincerely,
    Marvina.

    Something to think about if you are the type that buys a lot of games.

    [quote user="TangentialShark"]

    There is a rumor that multiplayer portions of games will not be accessible to "family" members but I have yet to find anything concrete. If this is true though, it would mitigate many people's concerns over publishers losing in the end.

    [/quote]

    Wow can't access some multiplayer portions? If that's true then that family share is worthless.

    Not according to this..

    support.xbox.com/.../xbox-live-gold-sharing-features

    "

    At home with Xbox One

    As an Xbox Live Gold member, you can share the benefits of Xbox Live Gold with others while they’re using your Xbox One console in your home. Friends and family can simply create their own account and gamertag on the console, which gives them the ability
    to enjoy Xbox Live online multiplayer gaming.

    Friends or family members with their own gamertags coming over to play? No problem. They can log in and play online multiplayer games, even if you sign off"

    and yet it will not allow him to play online.
