Family View: Mature Content in Store & Library
I'm trying to set up Family View on two children's accounts. Family view will let me "Hide" games that i don't approve of, but i can't keep them from viewing sexual content in the store with Family View. That can only be done through the account details > Preferences > Mature Content Preferences. This setting isn't locked. They can just go in, while in Family View and change that setting and view "porn" games all they want. I need to be able to lock this settings behind Family View. I'm also aware i can add "ignore" tags, but again, that can easily be removed by the child in account details > Preferences > store content preferences. But again this isn't lockable behind Family View.

Am i missing something? This defeats the whole purpose.

Thanks

Uh. What? It literally isn't possible to unlock those two settings on a Family View account.
That is the only way to completely block them.

How is it failing for you?

It legit can't break normally, so clearly something got broken.

I can have the Child account with family view on, and simply go to preferences and turn them off. It doesn't work for me.

That is very weird. The options are not supposed to show up at all for a child account.

Are you sure you have Family View set up and not Family Sharing?

Just tested it here and Account Details and Settings are both disabled when Family View is on.

Yes i'm sure it's not Family sharing. Those settings are not disabled on the account with Family View turned on. when logged into the account being used by the child, and family view turned on, i can access those settings, change everything back and openly access pornographic games.

Two things that i'm adding as possible issues:
1. It's not an actual "child account". It's an existing account the we're putting restrictions on for an older teenager.
2. I'm testing this from an older laptop that is running windows 8.1. So i'm not sure if it's out of date with the steam application.

Hey, did you find a way to prevent changing store preferences while family view is enabled? I couldn't. It's ridiculous. If anyone has access to account can change the adult content settings even when family view enabled, so what's the purpose of Family view???
