Kind regards,

So last night i tested it with another friend and the first time he loaded on with no problems. Then he came off and came back on and the same error message was popping up. Connection timed out. Unable to connect to world. Then this morning I tried to join one of his worlds and then I got the error message. So I’m not sure what is going on?

Just pops up “unable to connect to world”

I click join world and ir says unable to join world. That’s about it, should i look somewhere else?
