When using Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch, it allows me to launch the game, goes through the loading screen and even logs in to my Microsoft account automatically and sits nicely at the first game screen that allows me to pick a local, friend, or internet server to play on.

However, about 33% of the time when I click to join a server, the screen seems to get stopped before it begins loading a game or server and I get a large "thinking/loading" screen. (see attached)

The game will sit at this screen forever unless I force-quit the game using the Switch OS. When I do force it to quit, it takes about 15 seconds and then I get an error message from the OS. (see attached)

Re-starting Minecraft works and I get to roll the dice again after clicking to load a server again. After about 4 or 5 restarts of the game it eventually gets through and I am able to play. Sometimes, though more rarely, It will give me this same "loading" screen after I am already playing, causing me to need to force-quit it again and restart. When I do, I don't seem to have lost any progress in the game when it resumes.
