For the last week I have been unable to connect to a friends realm. I have done the following to try and solve the issue:
Leave then Rejoin Realm
Reinstall Game
Join Single player realm then try to join friends realm
Cleared game cache in APP DATA folder
Nothing has been successful. I simply get stuck on the "Connecting to Realm" screen and I have let it sit for hours with no success.
