My friends are unable to join my Minecraft words unless I quit Minecraft and then go back on and when the do manage to join it lags so much that they can’t do anything. I can’t join their worlds as it always says “unable to connect to world” but they can join each other. We can play other games together just fine, it’s only Minecraft that bugs out. We can all do party’s together just fine too. I’m not sure if this is s bug or not but it doesn’t effect any of my friends. We are all running the same version of Minecraft.
Steps we have taken to resolve issue:
Restarting Minecraft on all consoles.
Restarting our consoles.
Unfriending each other.
Deleting and reinstalling Minecraft.
None of these methods have worked thus far.
Also to note, my NAT type is open and we can play servers together and as mentioned previously, we can talk in party chat and we can play other games together.
