Yes, I mean, you need a hotspot that you and your friend can connect (can be a cellphone or something), also make sure the multuplayer settings are on. Remember, you an all your squad can connect.
Use an external wifi network to you and your friend connect and you can play, mobile data or internet not nessessary, sorry if I have an ortography error.
It happens to me just on world created before this beta
I have an xbox account but I haven't logged in to play in multiplayer, and well in the beta 1.8 I play multiplayer normally I do, I try to log in my account to play in a host and the same problem and I can't invite to the game cause my other friend don't have and xbox account, I will say him to create an account to try inviting him to play but I don't have acces to the network very frecuently, but I would try the options you said. Thanks you :v
Ok, I like to play in multiplayer mode, and I with my friend created a world long time ago like in the 1.2, and one dayI was playing and my friend go to the friends menu and the multiplayer host (multiplayer LAN world) don't appear, so I go to see what was happening and I saw that the multiplayer options was off, so I let the world and I go to multiplayer options and it was on, so I entered to the world and I see the multiplayer was off again, so we created a new world and they appeared in the friends menu, so we played, created a city, etc.... So at the next day we want to play again the world and I entered but don't appeared in the Friens menu and I make all the prossess of sseing the multipaler options and happened the same!!
