Steps to Reproduce:
Join (my or someone's) a world.
Observe
Observed Results:
Most of the times you get the "abandoned connection closed" Error message.
In (my) the World the message "player left the game" appears. The joining message does not appear.
(This is what one person had)
Expected Results:
The person/s should have joined me.
Notes:
I once tried to join a (one of the peoples) world and I got the same error message etc.
I tried to search for broken files, I re-downloaded the game, I restarted the game and I deleted the marketplace cache and nothing of this worked. The other person also restarted the game with no effect.
The person plays on Xbox. Another person (where we have the same problem) plays on laptop (Bedrock) and has a different error message and no leaving the game message appears in my world. He also tried multiple things wich also didn't work.
The laptop guy could join me sometimes but that's some months ago and it doesn't happen anymore.
I do not know if only I, as a switch player, have this problem.
I/we had the problem since quit some time now.
It also appears to happen to mayby 50% of players that want to join me (not confirmed, just estimated)

This is also the same on servers as well, with the same issues arising and doing everything to try and fix the issue, such as restarting the device, restarting the internet connection, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the game does not work.

Additional info: The Xbox guy was able to join me but got kicked after 2 minutes from the game. After that, he wasn't able to join again.

I can confirm that some players that plays on moblie devices like ardroid and iOS is also unable to connect to connect to servers/worlds and gets the same "abandoned connection closed" error message.

A realm owner can't join their own realm on Xbox do to this error

Here is a possible solution for the abandoned connection lost error.
To Reproduce: Sign in and out of your Microsoft account (you dont have to leave the game)
Then you do this again
Lastly whoever is in the server has to invite you and you have to accept the request
(Note: This may only work on Nintendo and PlayStation but feel free to try!)
What Happens:
No Method: Example left the game
With Method: Example joined the game
Note: You may be logged out after you join and you may receive Code Creeper

My Friends and I have the same problem. (Ps4, Switch, Laptop, PC)

1.20.11 update was not made available for Switch and the 1.20.12 update did not resolve this. This error continues to prohibit server access 9 days since 1.20.10 was released.

I'm on Nintendo switch and when I go to join a server is saying abandoned connection closed
migrated
Additional information: After the 1.20.12 update finally came out for switch today, the Xbox guy tried to join me but he got stuck on "searching for server". In the world I was in, I could see that he was in the list of the people that "joined". I also couldn't sleep. But there was never a message that he joined (well because he actually didn't). Going back to the him. He waited over 5 minutes and couldn't get further than "searching for server.
migrated
Are we seeing ANY progress on this? Has anyone been able to get on custom servers since 1.20.10?
migrated
So after the 1.20.12 update the problem hasn't been resolved. Now people are getting either stuck at "locating server" or they get the "disconnected from server" error message. Please fix this. I want to play with my friends.
