  1. Main account and family account...


    Wasn't sure where to post this, so I'll start here. I joined an ARK private server so my son and I could play on the same server. Mine of course os the main account and his is part of the family account. For whatever reason, the server shows up for me "Online"
    and is joinable, but when I switch over to his profile, it is appearing offline (which it is set to when you aren't friended). I know his account has been friended so I'm stumped. I have gone through the privacy settings to make sure there was no shenanigans
    going on and even set it to adult just to see if there was a stray setting.

    Is there anything else I can check? Perhaps one or some of you may have run into this or similar issue with your friends list, etc? ANy help would be appreciated.

    :)

    No way to transfer unfortunately, so they will have to start over. Keep in mind that in Marvel you are allowed 4 separate save files and therefore they can keep playing on your account with out interring. For all other games they can then use their own account.

    The progress is linked to your gamer tag. I did for my son when we got him an account of his own. After you do one or two it goes pretty quick. This was the only way I ever found to transfer a game save to a different gamer tag. I mainly did it with some saved worlds he had on Minecraft. If he's only a few levels in it's probably easier to let him replay the levels. Then the progress will be saved on his gamer tag.

    Is your console set to home console? On xbox1 if you set console to main everybody on the console will have access multiplayer. Also i don't think you can play ARK split screen (never played it just assuming) if not playing in same console he might not
    be able to get multiplayer status. Even if you did friend him to play on The same server he cant play if not in the same console.

    Trying to change xbox privacy settings

    Bob, try this:

    Create a new account that can be considered as an adult account.

    Once done, add your main account as a family organizer via the link below. https://account.microsoft.com/family/

    Family settings should be the same below:

    • NEW / Fictitious ACCOUNT - ORGANIZER • MAIN ACCOUNT - ORGANIZER

    Once successfully added sign out from your main Microsoft account everywhere, if you're on PC and Console restart it, and try again.

    Hope it works!

    How to monitor MY screen time on xBox?

    Thanks for your reply!

    If anyone interested, how I solved this issue - I have deleted existing family security, then created new family under different account, adding my main account as a family member, not organiser. I can see the screen time of my main account now.

    TitanFall 2 - unable to change networks due to parental control

    The main account belongs to me. It is the original account I started with year ago and have been using ever since.

    I added an account to the family for testing.

    The main account cannot be added or removed from the family.

    It would be the same as deleting the main account and starting again.

    I am wondering if there is a bug in the account management system.

    I still need answers to the following questions:

    Is there a way to reset the main account to defaults or do I need to use a sub account going forward?

    How can I check if the main account is 18+ as it does not appear in the configuration?
