Disconnecting from Xbox Live. Says: "Oops! You were disconnected from Xbox Live. To invite more players, reopen your world". Also, says that it cannot connect to Realms at this time.

I've done the following to see if anything on my side was the problem.
1. Followed the above instructions and left the game and reopened.
2. verified that Xbox Live was up and all services were available. (checked other games that require Xbox Live, they were all working fine.
3. hard rebooted the Xbox.

By the way: My version is different from the above version listed. Why? no idea! makes it really hard to report bugs if NOTHING jives!! v1.2.1
