Myself and a friend have tried joining each others worlds and are unable to do so. We get stuck on Generating world/ locating server. We pop up in the world on their screen but on our own console we are stuck on that screen. The loading screen is from my console. The in game picture is my friends game. It has been this way for 2 days now.

@Mega_Spud Unfortunately this particular bug is not reproducible and occurs in very rare situations in the latest version of 1.16. My workaround was a success for someone who also had this issue in the thread linked above.

These are some very good tips that Fatih proposes. Have you tried to see if they work? The issue that Fatih links to may be the same as yours, Joshua.
