I can't load in my world that was made before the 1.18.30 update on my switch. The recent freezing during the autosaving may have caused it. I believe this could be separate problem from that though.
Freezing had been happening, along with crashing in my game and others peoples games, however, my world will not load in at all now. I haven't seen anyone really talk about this. I'm not sure if the bug fix for the freezing during autosaves will take care of this.
After the 1.18.30 update my game would freeze every autosave. Eventually, it would crash and now I can't load that specific world at all.
My world would load slightly and then crash, saying, "The software was closed because an error occurred". I've tried to reinstall the game and make copies of my world. These did not fix the issue. I've tried making new worlds and they work just fine. I've checked for corrupted data but my switch says there is none. I don't use the online features, i'm playing in single player mode.
I have about a 59.7 MB world.
The first time it crashed my game went up to 69 MB.
The second time it crashed it went down to 59 mbMB
Third time it went to 49MB
And the fourth time it went up to 170MB then back down to 59MB, then I couldn't get back on at all
After the last crash that wouldn't let me back on, the date for "last played" was the next day. One day in the future. (said 4-21-22, but the date was 4-20-22) I checked my switch date and it was accurate. (Im posting this on the 21st so the world says last played on the 22nd.)

My switch is buggy as my parents 20 yr old windows Me. As soon as I booted up mc, my joy cons keep pressing the wrong buttons. Probably not minecraft´s fault but sill wanted to put.
Can you upload the world affected somewhere and link it here?
On Switch you can save data from Minecraft to an SD (if you have one) and then move it to Windows 10 or Android/iOS, or upload it to a Realm, and then download the world on Windows 10 or Android/iOS. (Please do not purchase a Realms subscription just to provide a world to us - but if you have a Realm already this may be a viable option if you wish to do so.)
If any of these methods won't work let me know.
Thanks for looking into this, can you provide detailed steps how to transfer save data from switch to SD? I could not find an option to do this, the only option available is to transfer to another switch device (not SD card)
Ps: I do not have a realms subscription.
Having a similar issue with slightly different behaviour on the Series X. World is of a similar size (61MB). I never experienced the freezing issue or file size changing. But game lags for <1s and then returns me to dashboard during autosave. Hope you find a fix and thanks for your hard work!
The update 1.18.31 just happened and I can get into my world again.
Though I am still experiencing some freezing while it auto saves.
The game freezing is tracked at MCPE-154110.
I also have a world on switch that's freezing during autosave since the update.
