I have two devices with Minecraft ver 1.17.40 - Windows 10 and iPhone
Both devices has Microsoft accounts for playing, and accounts are different
Both games are legal
I'm starting game in iPhone
I'm launching Minecraft on Windows PC and trying to connect to iPhone
I see that my friend is playing, and that he can accept connection - also, I can see his xbox name and avatar
Trying to connect to him - fail, ubnable to connect to the world
Earlier it works in that way:
5. I'm starting Minecraft on PC
5a. When friend's data hasn't loaded - I see something like "LAN game, Steve" - sorry, can't remember because I must to act very fast BEFORE xbox data of user loaded. Visually it looks like three rows - realm, friends and LAN
6. Game connected and playing in normal way
7. If I didn't have time to connect - avatar and xbox name loaded, and game turned from LAN connection to friend connection, visually it looks like just two rows (like now), and I can't connect with error connecting to world.
After upgradind to 17.40 there is no chance to play LAN game, only connection to friend's game, which not works on a previuous version too.
I've tried to un-friend and friend again, tried logout from xbox (then I didn't see a friend in a network game) and so on. Hopeless. Realms work fine, but I don't want using realms every time when we want to make some experiments with buildings or mobs....
