Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Europa665

In order to isolate a bit more the issue, if you try joining to a different friend's world/server.

The issue persists or is this happening only with this friend?

Also, may I know what message are you receiving?

"Unable to connect the world"?

Hi That Guy!

It's far more likely that your download is suffering because of the high demand Xbox Live is under at this time. Moving Server will not fix that problem.

I'd expect this to improve as the new console rush abates over time

You can verify that your console or that of your friend are not in the insider program and some of them have a beta version installed

Hi Nancy,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help troubleshoot the issue.

From your description, it sounds like the issue might be stemming from your friend's saved world since you can both join general servers, you can join other friend's servers, and nobody else seems to be able to join your friend's personal server.

What device is your friend playing on? Have either of you create a new world for testing to see if you can join each other at all?

It could be that the world is corrupted and hangs when trying to join multiplayer.

I would also recommend a hard reboot of both devices.
