    Hi Holy1233,

    Thank you for bringing this up. There are several reasons as to why you can't play Sea of Thieves on your Windows 10 computer. Regarding your concern, the code name "AvocadoBeard" is given by the game developer to easily identify
    what's causing you unable to play the game. It wants to inform you that your privacy and online safety settings are restricting you to play the game, or if you don't have an Xbox Live Gold membership and you're playing the game on Xbox One. Since you confirmed
    that your privacy and online safety settings are all good, there's a possibility that there's something wrong with your game profile on Sea of Thieves. I suggest that you contact
    Sea of Thieves Support team so that they could also help us to investigate and fix this issue and allow you to play the game. You may refer to this
    link that discusses the same issue and how you can contact Sea of Thieves Support.

    If you want to double check your privacy and online safety settings, you may login on this
    link and follow the steps below:

    • Go to the Xbox One/Windows 10 Online Safety tab.
    • Set Join multiplayer games to
      Allow
      .
    • You can also change other settings before clicking the
      Save button.
    • Play the game again.

    If you need further assistance, don't hesitate to reply to this post anytime.

    Hi,

    You may receive a permission to access multiplayer services error if you are using a child account or your online safety settings are set up incorrectly. To properly isolate your concern, please provide us the following information:

    • Are you using a child account?
    • Aside from the privacy settings, have you tried to change the online safety settings of the account?
    • Can you play other multiplayer games using the same account?

    If you are using a child account, we would like to let you know that only a parent account can change the online safety settings of your profile. In the meantime, you may follow the steps on this

    link
    to allow your account to play multiplayer games online.

    I am trying to play sea of thieves on PC and getting "You can't play multiplayer games because of how your account is set up." It then says to change this in privacy and online safety setting, but I looked and there's nothing preventing me. I then get the
    error code avocadobeard. I pre-ordered the game a few weeks ago, but can not play.
