"Need to have WI-i-Fi" error when running on mobile hotspot

Resolved
Works As Intended
0

Using mobile phone (Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge) as mobile hotspot (no other wifi available).
Run game 1.1.0 on tablet (Google Nexus 7 2013, wi-fi client of phone), start world.
Start game 1.1.0 on phone, Play > Friends > LAN-games > (game on tablet).

Expect: To join the game world on the tablet.

Instead:
Error message: "You need to have a Wi-Fi connection to be able to play with friends".
Cannot connect to friend.

I can run my own world.

As a work around please go to settings -> profile -> use cellular data to enable play over this netwoek.

Does enabling cellular data in the setting resolve this issue for you?

Your suggestions worked, Dr Awesome and Mega_Spud. Thanks!

How do I Close the Issue?
