Issues and Bug Reporting

Summary

The problem occurs like this: If there are no players on my published island, I can join and play normally. However, if there’s already another player active on the island, I can’t join because it gets stuck on this loading screen for minutes and minutes. The maximum number of players on this island is set to 8, so I don’t understand what the problem is. I also tried with a friend, and he couldn’t join the map from his device either if there was already another player.
