Profile Privileges (PC)

General RAAMc · Aug 10, 2020

Downloaded Fallout 76 a few days ago to complete the GamePass Weekly Quest. Started the game up today to only receive a message "Your profile privileges do not allow you to play multiplayer games. Please select a different profile." It doesn't even give
me the option to sign in to another profile. I've been a holder of GamePass Ultimate for over a year and my profile has been head of my Microsoft family the whole time never under anyone. I've tried restarting the game, restarting my PC, and running as admin
multiple times to no success. No other games have given me any trouble. I've played the game before on console and had no issues there. No longer play on console for good reason.

I had the same problem. I tried running the program as Administer and Fallout76 then worked fine for me. I hope this helps.

ScorchedBacon12, regarding the game, I found out that its Game Rating is set to "T" (teen), this game rating means that it's only playable by 13 and older. Even if the age "13" is considered a minor and your son's account is a child account, the same error
message would still pop-up if your kid would attempt to play the game. This is because changing the age of the account manually won't do a thing. The system would only and always recognize the birth year that you have setup to your son's account during sign-up.
Therefore, if your child's age is technically below 13 then he won't be able to play the game. As an alternative option, try to use the parent account's email which is an adult to play the game.

Your account, on your PC, has the administrator privileges?
