'You are not allowed to access online features'
I cant play Starwars because it wont sign me into my EA account. The image ive posted shows what comes up.
Forum Discussion
My son is having this issue on Xbox One. I can play online just fine but as soon as we go to his account, it gives us the error message that he cannot access online features. This does not appear to be an issue with the settings. I checked his Xbox account settings and he can play any other game online just fine. Very frustrating.
Any suggestions on how to fix?
I am having the same issue with my son... I can log in fine under my name and play... but when he goes to log in under his name, no online content allowed... I have all his settings so he is not restricted at all. He can play any other game online. EA doesn't seem to be any help. It did this in beta as well.... I was hoping when the new game came out, it would be fixed.... I hope they fix this soon.... I even created his own ea account, but don't know how to link it to his gamer tag... till then, he is playing under my name... but he wants to play under his own name....
Please look into this, and if anyone knows how to fix it, please post....
Same thing exactly. Fix this EA
we are having exactly the same problem. all other EA games no issue, and I can log in but he cannot. this is very frustrating for a $70 game we essentially can't play.
1. Log in to your Origin account https://www.origin.com/
2. Down Load the Origin App from the top header that says 'Down Load Origin'
3. Accept terms and conditions when launching the App.
4. Fill in your log-in details (same as Origin Account
5 In the App. Click Friends -> Add a friend in the menu bar
6.You will see the option to connect to XBOX Live or Playstation Network. We Choose XBOX
7. It will prompt you to log into your Microsoft account (the email address and password you use to log into your xbox)
(Doesn't matter if is says you failed to find a friend it will still work )
Go back to XBOX1 try to launch the game and go to Multi Player. It should work fine,Worked for me
Your Welcome
Having the same problem except with the PC version - just created an account for my son, but apparently Origin created a 'limited' account and now there is no way to manage or even see any account info for his account.
Apparently I've just thrown his $100 christmas present into the fire. Thanx a bunch EA.
Just followed these instructions for ps4 SW Battlefront from ELeCtRicSkiLzZ . Selected PSNetwork, when able in Friend portion. Worked like a charm! Thank You very much.
What a load of rubbish EA games are. I don't expect to buy a game and then have to sign up for some BS account. I can not play star wars battle front on line. I have signed up for the account and each time I try and play it says I am off line then you are not allowed to access on line features. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Time to phone them and complain and ask for my money back. Be warned before you buy this game
- So true, same problem with me
- its 2018 and this is still a problem and they are still blaming COPA , and I dont live in the US. its absolutely amazing that every others games company seems to be able to cope with the fact that I as a parent can judge what my children can do and in fact the granular settings supplied by xbox are so much better than the only option EA are offering, which is to change by childs setting ti full adult
