After I updated my game to 1.17.40, my "Old" (world type) world could not be opened anymore. I originally created the world over at 1.17.30, but now whenever I try to load it, I always get stuck at the "Generating Terrain" screen.

I've just created the world on the previous version after I learned about the "Old" worlds being removed in the latest beta. I just created it and quit afterwards. Then I updated my game and I couldn't open it anymore.
