I am experiencing the same problem and have deleted and reinstalled the game multiple times (including scanning for corrupted files through the Switch's data management option). However, the problem persists. I'm currently reinstalling the game after having deleted all save data as well to see if this resolves it and will update my comment once the reinstallation is complete.
Also, the error screen does not display an error code when the game crashes (I've uploaded a screenshot above for reference).
EDIT: I was able to resolve the issue by not only deleting the game, but deleting all the save files associated with the game and then doing a reinstall. However, BEWARE: if you don't have a microsoft account linked to your Minecraft game, then you'll lose all your purchases from the minecraft store (like I just did). But so far, local split screen now works with no error codes or crashes (though I'm annoyed that minecraft doesn't link to my existing nintendo account, causing me to lose all my in-game purchases just because I didn't have a microsoft account logged in; seriously, why? That's extremely anti-consumer).
At my switch it is also crashing with the same error… the only thing I can do is uninstall … until a fix is out.
Bought starwars mashup today for birtday son on nintendo switch. Crash after splitscreen....thought this was old but still happening? when will there be a fix? litterly crying kids......
I am experiencing a similar issue on the xbox series x. It doesn't crash immediately, but the more players that join, the more unstable it gets. The screen flickers, and eventually all of the controllers disconnect and cannot reconnect until the console is restarted. The console at one point crashed entirely and shut down. I factory reset the console a while ago, but the issue reappeared after a few months.
Can you share a screenshot of the error?
