No Multiplayer on SWBF2, xbox, child account

This shouldn’t have been necro-locked because the same issue is still happening: https://answers.ea.com/t5/STAR-WARS-Battlefront-II/error-524-sub-account-on-Xbox-live-not-connecting-to-the-online/td-p/6435979/highlight/true/page/7

My child cannot play multiplayer, even though his birthdate is set to Age 17 and then even changed to 18.  I’ve seen information that talks about changing EA account as well, but it won’t even let us log into that anyways.

What is the solution?

Thank you

    Hey @aec1741d2de7c416 Looking at the thread you linked it was locked due to its age, we have rules and guidelines we follow for answers HQ. One of them is on posting in older threads:

    • Don't "necropost." Reviving, updating or bumping old, outdated and irrelevant threads is not helpful for our community. It's best to check when the thread was created before you hit post, just to make sure it's not 2 years old for example.

    For your Sons account, to confirm is he getting "error 524" when launching SBF2 on his Xbox? 

    If so if either his Xbox account or EA account currently set as a child account?

    Thanks!

  • I am getting the same problem and code and both ea and xbox accounts are set to adult. I would really appreciate any help so we can play together.

  • My findings, either make an account that starts as an organizer account and then restrict access down to be older than 13, or go to every instance of birthdate and get it old enough and multiplayer permissions inn the child account and allow. 

    I had to change settings in the app and the browser. 

  • How does my son play battlefront 2? First we got error 524 as his age content on Xbox was 13 years - but I had Battlefront 2 on as an exception.
    google told me that EA won’t let him play as deemed too mature? But I have decided it is ok - so I just have set his Xbox to unrestricted but then it will not connect!

    help please I spent all this money on this xbox so he can play this game and now he can’t play the flipping thing!!!!!!
