Player getting - "Shared account cannot play on server" error message trying to connect


Recommended Posts

The player is accessing via Steam and using Family Sharing and getting the error "Shared account cannot play on server"

This error is only supposed to affect official servers. Is there a setting somewhere that can correct this, or does Survival Servers require that each player NOT use Family Share when on Steam?

 

Thanks

Was there a solution to this issue?

The command AllowSharedConnections=True should enable this in game! Add it to the GameUserSettings.ini!

Ive tried to put this in my own GameUserSettings.ini file but it keeps not letting my friend into the game. I've tried putting it under every tab in the file (ServerSettings, etc.) but its still not working
 

I'm on a non-dedicated server that i host myself and i always see "(FriendName) has joined" followed immediately by "(FriendName) has left"
