MCPE-162305 Child account can't join LAN world hosted by parent - says already playing in world on different device. Awaiting Response

Comments

Thanks, Ooofboiz, that seems to be exactly the bug. I changed from the Alex skin to Steve and he could join the game again.

Before your response, I decided to try the world in Minecraft Realms. He was able to join the Realm with the Alex skin without incident.

I appreciate everyone's help here!

Hello, thank you for your help!

  • Is your son's account a child account associated with your parent account?

  • If your wife hosts a world can your son join that, either before or after you do?

    • Yes

  • If your son joins before your wife does it work?

    • Son is unable to join at all presently. However, he would normally join after I start the world and my wife would join a bit later. It's rare that she joined before him, until after he was no longer able to join. One of the times I was able to somehow fix it for a session and she was already in the game.

    • Also, if I list all players, he is not listed.

  • If you create and host a brand-new world, is your son able to join that?

    • Yes, and he can access pre-existing games.

  • If so, does that work just once, or every time?

    • Every time. We have not had an issue with joining other worlds; only our fun Family Survival world.
