Steam Family Mode won't allow Origin games
If I am on Family View in Steam, games like Madden and Fifa won't start, because they use Origin, and I get an error which says "Error, relaunch your game to continue linking your accounts".
I have also tried launching from Origin, but I get the same thing.
If I turn off Family View, it works fine. Is their a permission I can edit to fix this?
Edit: Just so it's clear, I'm talking about family view not family sharing. The two are easily confused, so I just wanted to make that clear. =)
Best Answer
Some games that use 3rd Party DRM features like Origin, Ubisoft Connect (previously uPlay), Rockstar Games Launcher, etc can't be used via Family Mode or Family Sharing.
Sadly the only solution is to disable Family Mode to use this set of games.
