Parsnip Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 So my 7 year old has enlisted me to set him up on xbox live so he can play games with his mate. I've signed up to xbox live gold and it's all ok - we can find his friend, we can see what game his mate's playing - but when I go to their usernames, things like 'join party' and 'join game' are ghosted out. His NAT is open, everything seems ok... Why is it messing with me??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I’m not sure mate,is there a restriction on content in the settings menu. I’ll fire mine up and have a look. Then ask one of my lads to explain it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Is it privacy and online safety settings? Or content restrictions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coneheadjohn Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 In the privacy and online settings there’s an adult and teen setting I think you need to set it to one of those to allow friends requests etc. My youngest is 15 this year so I have no worries any more about grooming etc,he can spot a wrong un.

Normally I'd inform you that I don't play computer games because I'm a 40 year old man - but I fired up GTA5 last night to see if I could play that online (a gift from the Mrs last Christmas - never used!) and ended up glued to it till 2am! Awesome game! I'm definitely getting into that - it's come on a bit since GTA2 when I last played! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, next up the join party and join game issue, are you just attempting to join both without an invite? If so, that’s your problem right there. How many party’s have you been to without an invite? Ask his friend to send him a party invite, it will show up in his notifications, join the party that way. Or send him an invite. https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/xbox-live/how-to-start-a-party Also most games have invite a friend option somewhere, each game is different but it’s usually in the lobby area.

Right I'm ditching work at 3.30 and going home to get this nailed. Possibly the weakest excuse I've ever given myself for ditching work early. At least I'm not getting drunk.

bigbadbob Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 if you have gamespass on the Xbox and then it runs out, do the games you've already downloaded still work or do you have to renew it? Thanks in anticipation Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
