Skins/Character not allowing me to Join, Start or Create any game.

This problem started for me around July 30th on my Xbox Series X. I wasn't able to join a friend's realm, and this issue would presist until yesterday August 30th when I found the issue myself.

 

Every time I tried to join, it would start and stay at the 7th line on the loading bar. And stay there for about 10-15 seconds. Then I would be prompted with the dirt screen that displayed "Disconnected from Server" with an "ok" button below. If I tried immediately afterwards it would to the same thing but the disconnected screen would pop up only a few seconds after loading.

 

For almost a month I had assumed the realm needed to be paid for again, so I didn't think much of it and not did I attempt to play or join anything else. But I then grew curious a few days ago and tried again but ran into the same issue. I brought it up to the realm owner, and he said and showed me he was able to join like nothing happened the entire time.

 

I tried on pocket edition(android) and I still had the same issue. I tried using cellular data on pocket edition and still had the same issue. I then tried uninstalling on both Xbox and PE but nothing changed. It's then that I made a support ticket, and they suggested the realm owner should save a backup and reupload it... But nothing changed after doing that.

 

I responded back to support updating them on the situation and awaited a response. But I continued trying things, I tried clearing my games cache on PE. Then tried, and I was able to join oddly enough. But I then left after a few seconds of being in the realm to continue preparing dinner. After eating I tried joining on Xbox again after clearing it's cache and it didn't do anything. So I tried again on PE but I arrived back to the same issue, and clearing cache didn't work again.

 

I'm not entirely sure what allowed me to rejoin, could have been the world transfer that happened hours prior, Or the cache clearing. But either way i grew frustrated and still waited for a response from Support after updating them again.

 

It's then when I had the idea to logg into a different Xbox account, and create a world. I did so and it created a world like it normally would. This proved to me the issue had something to do with my main Minecraft account. And I immediately thought about my skins. I own two highly animated skins I've bought and put together over the years, and I had assumed maybe it had something to do with them. So I changed my skin to a default pack, tried to join the realm.... And I then joined like nothing happened. 

 

I then looked through my skins and noticed one slot displayed a box that said "Reload" instead of displaying the character. I'm not entirely sure if that was the issue, because then just deleted all my skins/characters and remade them. I did so on both Xbox and PE and I'm able to join, start and create a world on any of my skins again.

 

Lastly I should add at no point(obviously) did I get any indication that it was my skins. Before creating this post I searched and saw people got popups saying that a skin was corrupted. But I never got such a response in game. It was always "Disconnected from Server" 

 

That concludes the book of the issue I ran into lol.
