Nintento Switch joining server issues


Confirmation Status: Unconfirmed

 Description   

I am heaving serious problems regarding joining my friends world on Nintendo Switch (handheld). At 16:04 I logged on to join my friends (whom also plays on thr Nintendo Switch, hendheld,). 

 

Its 17:10 and i still haven't been able to join him. It takes forever to see his world appear (if it even appear and that a big if). When Minecraft logs on and i navigate to friends, Minecraft shows me i am not connected to the internet. Thats disappeers after a minut or 2 (if i am lucky). Then Minecraft shows me no friends play, while my Nintendo Switch shows a friend playing Minecraft. After around waiting 10 minuts+ and restarting 10-20 times his world finally shows. And when I try to connect its unable. 

 

And yes this problem happens before, as a matter of fact it happens 9/10 times but after the most recent update i installed yesterday made this so much worse. Normally i have try for around 15 minutes and i can live with that, sort of. But yesterday it took about half hour to join and now at 17:14 I still haven't joined so today i am not going to get under a hour. 

 

And this is not only the first console this happens on. Back on the Xbox 360 this happens, but less frequently then on a 'modern console'. 

 

So i am wondering, when will issue finally be resolved so the game, I paid money for 3 times (Xbox 360, mobile and Nintendo Switch), will do what is suspose to do.
