The game will not sign into Microsoft on its own you have to hit play sign into realms sign into Microsoft usually get a communication error close it go back because it will sit doing nothing but rotating around the background image. Then go back to title screen wait and if it doesn't work repeat steps and now you can play 2-5 minutes later. This has been an ongoing problem for years now that keeps getting worse with each subsequent update. To show that it will not work I recorded a 21 minute video in that time I used the bathroom and then beat super mario bros on the nes and it never loaded. Then I did my loophole solution and it worked in 2 minutes. If you need money motivation who is gonna buy a realms subscription when they cant access their realm without knowing my solution? I'm very tired of this problem and I hear it's a ps5 issue too. Possible band aid solution is to make the game do my steps in the background but it's way past time this problem was fixed. My phone and laptop load fine so what's the issue on console? 4J studios could make a functional console version so why can't the owners of this game do the same. Especially with Microsoft resources. The game really deserves to be taken off the eshop until it's fixed and I'm going to try my hardest to let nintendo know this game no longer passes their quality standards. As it stands this game is basically a scam if you don't know how to force it through. Here's the 1 drive link enjoy the show of your barely functional game. https://1drv.ms/f/s!ApbQzl-oemTCg6xdfd0Wu6g3JU9XaA
