When trying to play friends on our network we’ve run into an issue with the 1.16.10 update on my son’s tablet. One of our tablets was updated and cannot join our network game on the PS4. When trying to join it gets to the locating server and then never progresses. My other son can join with his tablet that did not update and is still running 1.16.1. The tablet running 1.16.10 can join my son’s game on his tablet. If my son running 1.16.10 is hosting the game I can join with my PS4.
