Cannot join my Microsoft friend's world, even when we are on the same wifi and next to each other. Have tried to reset both the game and devices, but issue persists. Both games are fully updated, and both devices are updated as well. Connected to same wifi as well, and no wifi issues; just difficulty in connecting to each others worlds. We had been able to connect originally, but recently this issue has come up. We are able to see that we can join each others world, but as soon as we do, there is an elongated waiting time followed by the "unable to connect to world" screen. This is pocket edition. Thank you!
