Cannot join multiplayer invites when the game is opened for too short

When players of Windows tried to join the invite while the game is closed, the game opens, and after signing to Microsoft account, the game then yields error if the skin is not loaded before joining the invite.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure you have a Windows PC and a second device, and with Minecraft closed on the Windows device, and make sure the Windows PC is rebooted before doing step 2 onwards.

2. Open Minecraft on the second device

3. Click Play

4. Open a world

5. Open the pause menu

6. Click Socials

7. Click Send an Invite

8. Select a player that is on the Windows PC

9. On a Windows PC and Minecraft closed, accept the invite

Expected results: The Windows PC should accept the invite and join in the world hosted by the second device as soon as the game opens.

Observed result: The Windows PC yields “Armor” error after the game opens, regardless the skin / character.

Workaround:

1. Open the game

2. Wait for the skin / character to load in the title screen before accepting invite.
