I had the exact problem and FINALLY found out the problem. In the plants ¨backyard¨ or ¨home¨ area, DO NOT go to the multiplayer portal. That is strictly for online playing. Instead go to the portal/hub called ¨SPLIT SCREEN¨. This is your only option for offline playing with only 2 players on 2 connected controllers.

That accepted answer is NOT THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ASKED!!!!
- Again, we're NOT asking about offline play with a split screen. After setting up an account for my wife and doing local split screen yesterday, I am trying to play solo online multiplayer. No split screen, I am the only player on this Xbox. Same error message, even though she's not even logged in. It just tells me "You or a member of your group does not have the correct permissions to access online features." I was fine two days ago, so what do I need to do to be able to play online?
I think I'd escalate this to the online help desk.
- I have solved this issue.
If you have any account on your xbox that is for a child it will not work. Also once the child account has been set up there is no way of changing it to an adult. The date of birth is permanent. I contacted Microsoft direct and they would not change the dates.
The solution is to remove the child accounts. I set up new ones for my kids and gave then new dates of birth. I have hence stepped up and taken responsibility for my own children instead of leaving it to Microsoft. It is not a brilliant fix as the child will loose their gaming score however i believe it is the only fix.
This it i think will happen with all EA games.
Good luck How did this get fixed?
- @El_Tacoconsumer But what about Online Like I don’t wanna split screen it’s better Just Online
I have a weird version of the problem, all the accounts on my xbox are adults and I know that I have Gamepass ultimate. I just can't load into a match of Garden warfare 2. I have reset my gane, uninstalled it, cleared the cache from my xbox and reset my xbox. Nothing has worked and I think Its genuinely impossible to get it fixed. Im trying to load into ONLINE multiplayer and I own a xbox series S. If u can help me, please do
I'm having the exact same problem, I have ultimate, all my accounts are adults, I have an xbox series S, I have reset my game and my xbox multiple times. No matter what i do, if i change accounts or if i change Wi-Fi sources nothing changes. I keep getting the same Multiplayer error saying "You or a member of your group does not have the correct permissions to access online features. Are the servers down or something? Do i have to talk to someone? Please help aswell
