I haven't been able to backup my realm successfully since the ghast/vibrant visuals update.
I wanted to cancel my realms subscription since it's been having so many problems recently and I can't even save the progress on it so I can play it as a world instead. I've tried several times over the last couple weeks and it always fails
Still waiting on hot fix for ps5
It's a little frustrating that you cannot reproduce this bug, is it maybe tied to certain OSs or tablets? We have reinstalled, and even gone as far as to do a complete factory reset on the tablet and are still having the same issue. Each day we find new entities that are not rendering - i.e. only the top part of chests are rendering.
It is expected that the additional players on split screen show up with their own gamertag, not as a guest, as we were always able to show up as our own profiles before. And our player profiles have their own inventory and ender chest attached to them that cannot be accessed by the guest account.
The guest account slots also have their own inventory memory and ender chests separate from the official accounts we usually use.
When this bug started happening, everyone who would typically log in to their own profiles on split screen (aside from player) was instead logged in as a guest who started at spawn with zero inventory and we are unable to access the inventory of our usual character on this world, it's been this way for about a month since the happy ghast update. I've downloaded 3 hot fixes since then and none of them have improved this issue on PS5/realms.
It looks like the reason we're are getting signed into guest accounts rather than our own accounts on Minecraft realms is because the game is not allowing the additional split screen players to connect to their Microsoft account. This used to connect automatically as long as the individual profile has been connected to its linked Microsoft account through the app when opened under their own profile.
Sometimes the account needs to be reconnected to its Microsoft account after an update, but this used to be a simple fix in which you would just need to open minecraft under that individual profile as player 1 in order for it to refresh that accounts link to its Microsoft account, and then once you logged in as an additional split screen player later it would remember your account being linked and you could log in as your own gamer tag in any additional split screen player slot with no issues.
This fix to reconnect a console account to its linked Microsoft account doesn't seem to work anymore. The game refuses to connect the additional players to their own linked Microsoft accounts. This is why we are getting logged in as guests instead of our our gamer tags with our own inventory.
Please fix to allow profiles on PlayStation (realms) split screen to link to their Microsoft accounts and access our own character, like we used to always do before. 07/17/2025
