MCPE-60667Expected behaviour
Successfully connect Minecraft on Xbox One to other Bedrock clients hosting multiplayer sessions on the same LAN.
Observed Behaviour
Xbox One cannot view details for, or connect to, in-progress sessions running on Windows 10, Android or the Bedrock dedicated server (Ubuntu).
Steps to reproduce
- Start a game on a non-Xbox One device ensuring appropriate multiplayer options are enabled. i.e. 'Multiplayer Game' and 'Visible to LAN Players' are both enabled
- Start Minecraft on Xbox One, select 'Play' and select the 'Friends' tab.
- See that there is no 'LAN Games' section or LAN games listed, however the counter on the 'Friends' tab shows '1'; acknowledging another game instance is running on the local network.
Additional information
Testing conducted with a brand new Xbox account (with default permissions and settings) to eliminate manually set account restrictions as the source of potential issues. No account on the Xbox One has an active Xbox Live Gold subscription.
Versions tested:
- Windows 10: 1.14.1.5 (from Minecraft.Windows.exe properties)
- Xbox One: 1.14.105.70_x64_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Experiencing this same issue in 1.14.1. Clients on Windows 10 and Android have no problem connecting to each other, or with a dedicated server instance, but the Xbox One can't see any of them on the same network.

The user account playing on Xbox One does not have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription (nor do any of the other accounts on the Xbox). While this could be something to try as part of the troubleshooting process, a Gold subscription should not be required to play LAN games. Especially if none of the other platforms have this requirement.

Does this behaviour still occur in the 1.14.30 update?

@Rick thanks for you comment. Having purchased my copy through the store, reverting back to an old version isn't an option. In any case, your testing confirms this bug is a regression in recent versions. Here's hoping this removal of previous functionality isn't intentional; still waiting for an official comment from Mojang.
