 Description   

My friend and I cannot join each others' worlds. We have tried both via LAN and also through the XBOX friend option.

We used to join each others' worlds all the time, and suddenly it stopped working as soon as Realms came out. (We are able to play on the same Realm just fine. The only issue is specifically joining each other on our own worlds.)

We always are able to see each others' worlds but when we try to join each we get different error messages depending on the day. Most recently the error is simply "You have disconnected".

This ticket has been resolved as 'Cannot Reproduce' as it has not been updated recently (1 year+)

Please respond and add the current version if you can reproduce this issue.

Another update:

Tried again with a different friend who has a different laptop and xbox account, but on the same wifi. I can join their world via LAN or XBL, but they cannot join mine over either.

Another update.

Something changed. Now I can join any world that my friend is in, but he can't join a world that I'm in. This includes realms.

Examples (over LAN):

  • I am in my world, friend tries to join, he cannot.
  • Friend is in his world, I try to join, success.
  • I am in a shared realm, friend tries to join, he cannot.
  • He is in the same shared realm as above, I try to join, success.

Also, we just tried again today.

Attempted to join through XBOX, we got this error message: "Unable to authenticate XBOX Live account"
Attempted to join through LAN, we got this error message: "Unable to authenticate XBOX Live account"
Attempted again to join through LAN, we got this error message: "Unable to connect to world"

Yes, my friend and I have been attempting this over Wi-Fi. We don't have ethernet cords.

Are you using Wi-Fi?
