I created a realm to play with a friend last night, and all went great. Wanted to connect to it again this morning, and I get a message saying "Unable to connect to world". I am the creator of the world (xbox user name : pathamm5297), and the realm is called "Bob's Impaling".

A help page mentioned to try closing and opening the realm, but even when I try closing the realm, I get an error message that indicates "Failed to close realm".

I'm playing on PC, and my friend is playing on a Switch, not sure if that has anything to do with the problem though. He is on the other side of the world and currently sleeping, so can't ask him to test. Other games have no problem connecting to the internet, and I can still play local saves.

I tried contacting Minecraft help, got a message stating : 

"I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your game. Unfortunately, we are currently limited mostly to account issues and billing and our current tech support is limited at this time.

I would recommend reporting this as a bug to our database to help our developers resolve the issue. Please report it at; https://bugs.mojang.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa so that a moderator and/or developer can take a look and be sure to provide as much information as possible."
