DynDuo OP Created Jul ’20 Replies 13 Boosts 1 Views 24k Participants 15 Hello,I am unable to connect to Game Center on my iPhone running iOS 14 Beta 1, 2, or 3. It was working fine on iOS 13. It says "Unknown" and there is not a way to sign out or sign in to just Game Center. I have tried logging out of my App Store account and iCloud account altogether, but got the same result. Note that I am running iPad 14 on two iPads and not having any issues. Anyone else run into this?Thanks,David Answered by DynDuo in 622579022 FIXED: I just went to a game that I had previously used with Game Center and signed back in. Boom!

It did on my iPhone. And I let my friend to do the same (just upgrade to iOS 14), now it failed to login to game center. Apple really need to do some for the game center! if users could not access the game center, what the new GUI of the game center for? I invited friends to the game, but the notification arrived couple days after!john 0 comments 0 Copy to clipboard Share this post Copied to Clipboard Load more Add comment Jerome_L OP Jan ’21 Got the same problem and CS-17 solution fixed it ! Thanks cs-17 0 comments 0 Copy to clipboard Share this post Copied to Clipboard Load more Add comment tshooter OP Jan ’21 Thank you to CS-17.As they mentioned, turning Game Center OFF under APPS USING ICLOUD, and then back ON, sort of fixed it. However, that actually just replaced the previous Apple ID for Game Center with the main Apple ID for iCloud. Had to then sign out of that ID for Game Center, and then back in with the correct Apple ID from before iOS 14 dropped it. And upon doing that, just ended up back with the same network connectivity error as before.So, the bug is either associated with the use of different Apple IDs for iCloud vs. Game Center, and/or with having that different ID being not an email address (old school).Still waiting for a solution here. 0 comments 1 Copy to clipboard Share this post Copied to Clipboard Load more Add comment jdeharo26 OP Jun ’21

Has this issue ever been resolved by Apple? My son’s Game Center is still showing this error. He can’t access his iCloud because he’s under a child’s account.
