when trying to play on online public servers, ex lifeboat, and private realms servers on the ps4 bedrock version 1.20.50, the normal “connecting to server…” popup shows, but closes on its own within a few seconds. no error message, but it will not load your game.
i have tried:
restarting the game
restarting my device
deleting and reinstalling the game
logging out of my account and then back in

my friend also on ps4 minecraft also has this issue. there were no problems before the update.
