I installed and started playing the game about 2 months ago, and pretty much every day, whenever I try to login for the first time or after I finish a game, I get a popup that says I can't play because of how my account is set up, even though my account is already set up to let me join multiplayer games. This past weekedn it happened a lot, to the point where I got this message AFTER I had selected a character and was waiting for the rest of the team to confirm their characters. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?
-
Hi! Do you play on Xbox?
-
Yes I do. What usually works is for me to change the settings several times, allowing and blocking the console to let me join multiplayer games, but lateñy I've had to restart thd console to solve the issue
UPDATE: it just happened again. I was about to play A Breath of Hope, I had already slected my character and was waiting for everyone else to do so, and I got the same message and got kicked out to tte main menu
-
Can you send us a video to spacelords_support@mercurysteam.com?
Thanks!

I'm on XB1, and this is happening to me as well. My username is the same as it is here.

Hi! We need more information. Does it happen all time? Did you close the game during the score screen? How is your Xbox configured? Do you have any parental or multiplayer restrictions? What did you do before that message appeared?
-
It happens often, at least 3 or 4 times a day. It can happen at any time: the first time I log in, during the character selection time, midway through, a match, while I'm browsing through the store. The privacy settings are set to adult defaults, and the option to join multiplayer games is emabled. And no, I never log off during the score screen, I always wait until I'm taken to the main menu and can see how much XP I earned

Are you playing on Xbox One or in Xbox Series X/S?
-
On Xbox One S
-
Thanks, we are going to investigate the issue.
-
Apologies for the inconvenience, but has there been any breakthrough with this issue? Because in the past 2 days it's happened 14 times; it's a bit annoying having to restart the console every time this happens. Apologies in advance for the inconvenience and for being so insistent
-
Hi!
We are investigating this issue but we don't have enough information. If you restart the console you can play normally, right?
-
Usually I can. Every now and then I have to restart it twice in a row because I get the same message after the same restart but that rarely happens
-
Do you remember what you did before the error message?
-
Could be anything. The majority of the times it happens after I can see a mission's grades and I'm taken to the main menu. It's also a guarantee if I use the Xbox home button to take a capture or try to record something.
I try to behave, I don't abuse the emotes, I'm classy whenever there's an antag and I don't emote whenever I get a kill

Think it might be dead on Vanilla Xbox One. I haven't been able to log in since shortly after I had the points issue resolved. Just now, I decided that I would give it ten trys, 5 before I did my daily gamepass quests and 5 after. All ten ended in being unable to connect to servers.
It's a pity. Despite having a love-hate relationship with the game since they made it online only, I kept finding reasons to come back. But, at this point, I think it's dead for good. It would have been nice to have an offline version so I could occasionally revisit the Broken Planet but it is what it is.
Still, no hard feelings. It was bound to end eventually and, technical difficulties with the Xbox aside, it was fun while it lasted. So, congratulations on Metroid Dread and I guess I'll see you around.
-
Followup: Just as a last ditch attempt, I uninstalled and reinstalled this morning so I could give it a few more trys. It connected the second time so it's still up.
Still would be nice to have an offline version though.

Sounds like it was an issue with your account and not for the Xbox servers. Seeing as how I play Xbox One too and had no problem logging in. Glad it could be solved
