Ever since the new update, I can't play multiplayer split screen on a realm with my husband anymore even though we have the Nintendo Switch Online Family Membership and Microsoft accounts. When I go into my account and my husband tries to join as player 2, he can select his account, but it disconnects us both from the realm before we start playing. Same thing happens if he's player 1 and I'm player 2. A couple times it said "Split Screen Unavailable", but mostly it just disconnects without any error messages. We tried deleting our custom skins, resetting the Nintendo Switch, and uninstalling/re-installing the game, but nothing has worked. It was working perfectly before the update, and now we have to take turns playing instead of playing together which is why we bought Minecraft and the Nintendo Switch Online Family Membership... 😞 😞 😞 I hope we won't have to wait too long for a solution as this is kind of a waste of money for the membership at this point as we only bought/use it for Minecraft.

I'm having the same issue with me and my daughter. It disconnects us from the realm we play on the Nintendo Switch when we try to add her as a second player.... Can't play multiplayer now.... Not cool. 😞 😞
This is ridiculous. 1.13.1 just came out and I’m still having the same issue. We paid for this game and for the realm so me, my husband, and some friends could play together, and now my husband and I can’t play split screen anymore. This needs to be fixed.
