When trying to connect to Realms on the latest release from 9/10/2020 1.16.3; It just starts an infinite "connecting to the realm" dialogue and never connects. For 1.16.2 the issue isn't present.

If you just change to a snapshot of 1.16.2 then you can connect and play just fine if you're wanting to play @samik

Thanks @Eric it worked just fine

Same problem with 1.16.3 and realms. Reverting to 1.16.2 allows connection.

I've got the same problem, me and my friends can't enter our realm since updating to 1.16.3 today.
