What happens when you launch the game? (Error message, freeze, crash back to home screen, etc)? You might also attach screenshots or a video showing this information.

  • Sure, but this is the only prove I recorded on video

If you have a copy of the world available, you might like to upload a copy of it for investigation.

  • On Windows 10 you can use the Export world feature.

  • On Android or iOS you need to use a file explorer to navigate to Device storage > games > com.mojang > minecraftWorlds

  • On Xbox or Switch the only way is to 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 the world is larger than 10MB you can upload the world to OneDrive or a similar file sharing site, and then share the link.

Workaround I used since 1.18.30 all the way to 1.19.30 no longer works.

Old Workaround:

  1. Restart the Switch hardware before launching.

  2. Redownload the game.

  3. Launch & wait approximately 5 minutes to get past black screen & another 5 for the red screen.

  4. If crash occurs, repeat the 1st 2 steps, then download previous cloud save before attempting step 3.

  5. Repeat step 4 until game doesn't crash.

Crashed 3/3 consecutive attempts as of Sun. Sep. 25, 2022.

 

Edit: Mon. Sep. 26, 2022

Discovered that the logging into accounts caused the crash.

Current Workaround: Limited Gameplay

  1. Restart Switch, if other games/apps have been used prior, to clear RAM/cache.

  2. Redownload game.

  3. Disconnect from internet.

  4. Launch game.

Reconnecting to the internet will trigger the login, resulting in crash, so I have no way of playing online in any form as of this edited post.
