    Minecraft Windows 10 Multiplayer not working


    My Minecraft Multiplayer isn't working. It will work for 3+ players, but if my friend and I try to play together, it says "Unable to connect to world". I've tried everything I've seen on how to fix it, but nothing has worked. I know this is a pretty common
    problem but the forum is my last chance other than customer support. I thought that i might as well ask for help. Thanks!

    :)

    Minecraft Windows 10 Multiplayer not working

    Hello,

    From the looks of things, Minecraft Windows 10 Edition has had some issues. This is a common known issue that doesnt quite have a fix as of yet. This has worked, but not guaranteed:

    Open Minecraft DIRECTLY from the Windows search index (Not through the Xbox App) and attempt hosting the game.

    If it doesn't work at this point for whichever reason, open task manager. Then find Minecraft and the Xbox app, force close them both and repeat steps.

    Im sorry I could not provide a solid solution as there currently doesn't seem to be one.

    There is a few possible reasons you cant connect.

    1. The server is full

    2. The server's IP or port is wrong

    3. The server is not online

    4. The server is whitelisted

    Now, we can recommend two methods to troubleshoot this

    Open Windows PowerShell and run the following command:

    CheckNetIsolation LoopbackExempt -a -n="Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe"

    When you next open the game, you should be able to connect to your local server.

    If it does not work, Modify your options.txt

    Navigate to %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\minecraftpe.

    Open the options.txt in a text editor and find the option dev_uselocalserver. Set it to 1 and save the file.

    Restart your game and attempt to connect to your server.

    Make sure to follow the steps accordingly.

    Looked through some of the help articles - man the information is confusing.

    Anyways from what I'm inferring from the posts is that you can play Windows 10 to Windows 10, and Pocket Edition to Windows 10 and that's it right now.

    https://support.xbox.com/en-CA/games/game-titles/minecraft-help-on-different-devices

    "You can play Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta with other devices running Pocket Edition, such as Windows 10 and Windows Phone devices. Right now, you can play local multiplayer on Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta. Soon after the launch, online
    play will be available for Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta."

    http://support.xbox.com/en-CA/games/game-titles/minecraft-windows-10-edition-beta-faq#a5eebb2f431442ff850f552a209f44ed

    Can I play online with other people on Windows 10? Or on different devices?

    You can play with up to four other people running Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition Beta or Pocket Edition on your local network. You can also play online with up to four of your Xbox Live friends in online multiplayer gaming.

    Difference in Minecraft Versions: Unable to Play with Friends

    Your version IS different from hers. Her version is Java. Yours is Bedrock/Windows 10. Don't worry, this isn't compatible for multiplayer, it still the same. Try asking her to buy the Minecraft for Windows 10.

    I cannot play Minecraft on Realms due to "Cannot join multiplayer games"

    Hi GamerDad,

    Thanks for reaching out to us! We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experience with Minecraft realms not working properly. The error message is saying "Cannot join multiplayer games" but is there any other error code or message? I would like to
    ask a few clarifying questions first.

    • Is this a child or adult account being used?
    • Does Multiplayer or Local work with the account?
    • Which platform is being used? PC (Windows 10) or Xbox One
    Please try the following: Remove account from Family.
    Then try to sign into another Microsoft account, then add the first account as an "Adult" family member. From there, try to see if it is possible to change the settings and save them this way. Also, please try another device to see if it is possible to change
    the Online Safety and Privacy Settings like
    a phone, tablet, console etc.

    Also, check out the following two links for more information:
