  1. Son can not join multiplayer Terraria or Minecraft


    I have my son's account allowed to play multiplayer and start clubs.

    He is able to play Fortnite with his friends no problems. Joins teams, talks etc. When his friends start a hosted game, i.e. minecraft or Terraria, he can't join. When he tries to start either game in multiplayer he gets the following message:

    To do this, change a setting

    You cannot do this because of how your account is set up. To Change this, customize your Xbox privacy settings in Setting > Account > Privacy & Online safety.

    I have changed his settings, his age, I have opened up his account completely. I removed him from the family group so he is now by himself. I made his setting at the adult level. I have logged in his account on my computer to verify all the settings are correct and still not able to start multiplayer. I removed his account from the xbox and re connected it. I am at my wits end. When I log my account in on the same console, it lets me player multiplayer just fine. I don't want to make him an all new account so he doesn't lose his gamertag progress etc.

    What am I missing?

    :)

    I gave up. I have found older posts with this issue. They resolved it by changing a setting in Xbox360. The problem now? that setting no longer exists in the current version of settings. I feel that setting is a ghost and still active on my son's account and since I can no longer change it, it will be a permant setting on his account. It would be great if one of the programmers would see this post and look into it. That is the only way to get this resolved. Newer games don't have this problem because they are not coded for Xbox360. What I find ironic is I can give my son adult access and no restrictions and it still pops up in Terreria.

    If he has a child account you should not take him out the Microsoft family that won't help, actually he can lose privileges depending on the age of the account

    Please, confirm the information about the subscription on the link, you won't believe how many users believe they have it and turns out they don't

    Remove the account from the Console

    Please perform a power cycle reset, follow these steps:

    Unplug the power cable from the back of the router, modem, or gateway for 5 minutes. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cable from both devices.

    Restart your Xbox One console. Press and hold the Xbox button in the center of your Xbox One controller to open the Power Center. Select Restart console and then select Restart. (If the console appears to be frozen, press and hold the Xbox button  on the console for 10 seconds, until the console turns off. After the console shuts down, touch the Xbox button on the console again to restart.)

    After 5 minutes, plug the modem or gateway in first, and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

    If you are using a router, plug in the router and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

    Download the account again

    Thanks for the links.

    The new settings page doesn't quite follow the pictures, but yes he has all those settings enabled. Remember, he can play multiplayer games just fine. Its Terraria specifically that won't let him make the multiplayer selection.

    When I removed him from the family group to become his own login, I had to purchase Game Pass Ultimate for him. I am under the impression Gold live is included with the ultimate pass.

    When he is on his own account does he have to specify his home xbox? Theoretically, he should be able to login to any xbox with his personal account and have access to his games and settings. I thought the home Xbox was for when you are sharing a gold account to another xbox in the house?

    After making the changes and having his privacy setting all allow and everybody, still gets that error message.

    As I already mentioned, the Xbox account can't be changed, and you can see the settings you need to activate here

    You will have pictures, don't only change the ones mark, check how the other options are set also

    What is the xbox account? Where can I change the age settings? is that where you say 12 and up, or 16 and up etc? I had him test with no age restrictions in xbox and still not able to play.

    What setting for Terraria exists that doesn't exist for any of the other multiplayer games he plays? Fortnite, War thunder etc.

    On the same xbox, my account has no issues.
