    Minecraft Bedrock Edition - Locating Server issue unique to user


    We have a family Minecraft world we play on through a local network. The host is on Minecraft Bedrock for PC, the other devices are iOS and Android.

    One user on iOS stopped being able to play on the world; they would attempt to join but would hang on "Locating Server", but the host game could see that the user was connected, change permission statuses, and even kick the player. All the while, the user was stuck on the "Locating Server" screen. (3 other users on iOS and Android could still connect and play)

    We tried signing in and out, clearing the cache on the mobile device, and even uninstalling and reinstalling on the iOS mobile device, nothing has worked. Finally we tried signing the user in on a different device that was having no issues with connecting, and the user had the exact same issue.

    We've tried kicking the user and re-inviting them.

    Is there any other option available to recover this user's ability to connect?

    Thank you.

    :)

    ok i an not affiliated with microsoft not sullying my good name 1st the hang up is a network connection bug that microsoft made just for this update roll the server and updates back to before it messed up because your not going to get help from the devs iv been waiting 2 years for the one x overheating issue to be fixed for borderlands 3 and it now in 2022 effects CoD, Ori and so many more games my other suggestion is just upgrade all to pc and tell Microsoft where to put there broken updates like me.

    Thanks for the feedback, please try something.
    Delete the child account as a friend using the account that owns the world here:

    https://account.xbox.com/en-us/spashell

    After that, go to the child account (the one that have the problem) here:
    https://account.xbox.com/Settings

    And set to allow all permission , if you already have permissions allowed, disable everything.

    Then, wait for about 5 minutes and enable everything again.

    After that, go to Minecraft, if the child account is already signed in, sign out please.

    Then wait another 3 minutes and sign in again .
    Give it a new try and let me know how it goes

    6 different account have logged into this world.

    1 of the accounts freezes on the "Locating Server" screen, on both devices we've tried.

    The account is a child account.

    Thanks!

    So, is this issue happening with this specific world?

    If yes, as you said could be a bug with the actual Minecraft version
    The next step will be report this to Mojang from here:
    https://bugs.mojang.com/projects/MCPE/issues/MC...

    (Optional) As a last advise, try this temporarily for the child account: (change their age temporarily to +18 and add the account again to the family group but as organizer)

    Remove the child account from the family group and set account birth year to +18 here
    https://account.microsoft.com/profile

    Use an account that can be considered as an adult account (try using another web browser or incognito mode).

    Once done, add your main account as organizer via the link below. (you can see in the new account an "add member" button
    https://account.microsoft.com/family/

    Please double check that you select your main account as organizer too, not member.

    Once successfully added, sign out from the account everywhere and restart the device
    Then log in with the account again and give it a new try.

    If it’s working, undo this process and once the account is child again, try joining again

    No, this didn't work.

    I removed the account as a friend, and reset the account's permissions.

    Then with the device not logged into any account, I was able to log into the world and interact with the world.

    I quit, signed in with the problem account, and it resumed the previous issue of hanging on the "Locating Server" message.

    This seems to be a Minecraft gameplay bug, and not an account issue. More likely there's something screwed up in the world data associated with this account. Is there a way to refresh or clear this in the world?

    Thanks again for your help.
