Ah, families. They can be pain in the backside at the best of times. Sometimes, it’s best to unwind, kick back, and fire up some PUBG. Except that’s got an issue with families too. Those in search of chicken dinners may have recently come across a ‘Family Sharing Account Cannot Connect’ issue on PUBG. Even worse, there’s doesn’t appear to be a conventional fix for it (yet).
PUBG Family Sharing Account Cannot Connect: What is the Issue?
PUBG users are logging onto PUBG and being met by Family Sharing Account Cannot Connect error messages. At first glance, this may seem to stem from the February decision to stop family sharing on accounts in an effort to combat cheaters. However, it appears that many suffering with the issue have never used a family sharing account. In fact, it is a wrongly-submitted error code that pops up because you cannot connect to servers. In all likelihood, the thought lays at the door of the developmental team, and not your ISP.
