I've cannot connect to online multiplayer via the Nintendo Switch with my account. I was able play and connect just fine to for a few days when I first purchased the game (May 16, 2024) but after some lag and server issues (online world play and marketplace not working) and backing up save data to the cloud from another user account on my switch, I haven't been able to connect again since then.
I cannot join any world from my friends list nor can anyone join mine. Both through the Switch friends list nor the invite method via cross world play. Only local gameplay works fine.
Notes:
Nintendo switch hardware is up to date
Minecraft game is up to date (v1.20.81)
My Microsoft account is linked and settings have been set to "allow friends" etc
I've un installed & re installed Minecraft AND deleted both console and cloud save data to start fresh
I have an active Nintendo Online Membership
Friends are able to see me hop online on the Nintendo Switch and I am able to play other Nintendo games online just fine
Internet service is working just fine, I've gone through all the troubleshooting steps that both Nintendo AND Microsoft have recommended
Another family member in the same household has NO issues connecting online, everything works perfectly fine
I receive an error message immediately once I try to connect to online multiplayer only in Minecraft which makes me believe it's an account or programming/code issue with online play. I've tried the workarounds suggested in this post but the issue has not been resolved the issue thus far.
