  1. split screen doesnt allow 2 different accounts.


    we bought minecraft for xbox x. we always could play split screen with 2 accounts, but since now, when the second profile joins, its has the same name as pf1 with a (2) behind it. even though we logged in on a different profile/account. for example pf1 is "jack" and pf2 is "finn", the top screen profile will be "jack", and the bottom will be "jack(2)".

    :)

    split screen doesnt allow 2 different accounts.

    Hi, Ilona! It's my pleasure to assist you with this today.

    Kindly try to do these steps and check if it will fix the issue.

    Let’s try removing and re-adding both of your profiles. This will help synchronize the data and settings smoothly.

    To remove your profile

    1. Select Settings.

    2. Go to Account.

    3. Choose Remove accounts.

    4. Select your account and remove it.

    NOTE: Make sure you know the email address and password for your profile before removing it from the console.

    Next, press and hold the Home Button on the controller to restart the console.

    To redownload your profile:

    1. Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.

    2. Select Sign in.

    3. Go to Add & Manage.

    4. Choose Add New.

    5. Enter your Microsoft account email address and password.

    Once signed in, make sure that the controllers are signed in to the correct accounts.

    Go to Profile & system > Settings > Devices & connections > Accessories.

    Select the controller, and then the More options icon (…). Assigned to shows the current account assigned to that controller.

    To assign the controller to another account, select Assigned to, and then select the account that you want assigned to the controller. This will pair the controller to this account.

    Let me know if that works. Thank you!

    Confuse...Please Help!!!!

    to be able to play EVERY game with each other you will need 2 xboxs. 2 controllers, 2 TVs, 2 copies of the game, and 2 xbox live accounts as gold members to play online with each other.

    some games let you have guests and do split screen though which helps.

    as said, halo allows guests to split screen, COD3 back when I played it allowed split screen a well but i am not sure on guests.

    Amazing changes to microsoft

    Welcome! (microsoft didnt make this just me.) Post ideas on the board! my idea is: microsoft allows a split screen section in the notfication bars which allows a guest which will be called (like guest users on xbox) or a profile on this pc or a non added account (dosent save account to pc) and logged in accounts have data saved and there would be 2 arrow which would be labeled 1 and 2 3 4 and when you enter a game the split screen game will begin (like split screen games)

    Depends on the game and how many players the game allows in split-screen co-op. Most split screen games allow 2-4 players at one time on a console.

    If you mean accounts on a console, I've had 8-10 accounts on a console as have family that come over regularly and play video games with me.

    One thing I want for Ghost...

    Not sure about this, buat arent you able to use 2 different accounts split screen. So they would have 2 unique gts instead of gt and gt(1)?

    I did a quick google and found a vid of 2 account split screen but not sure if it was ranked ...... they took 1st and 2nd place btw. ......... [View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aHGuPSlXcM]
