I was testing out the new update of the game when all of a sudden it just randomly crashed (for some reason it gave me no error code) this happened the last time a drop happened too (Mojang test your game before release :broken_heart:)
no matter the fix (ie, redownloading the update data, restarting the game and system, deleting game entirely and redownloading, etc) it still happens.
It also will sometimes crash when the marketplace loads
It also crashes when connected to the internet.
Honestly just open the game and wait to reproduce

I’ve been experiencing something similar! Both my Switch and Switch 2 keep crashing after a few minutes of play. For me, it happens whenever Marketplace fully loads in. Does Marketplace endlessly load when you click on it?
And I have been able to reproduce it just by playing. My last two actions before crashing were opening my inventory, and then placing an item frame on a chest. No apparently recurring cause
It crashes a lot. Happens when connected to internet, when playing fully offline. When just exploring, building, fighting it does not matter. It crashes a lot and is borderline unplayable. Curiously it does remember everything like which blocks are placed / destroyed, time of day however it does move the player position back in time a bit.

Yes it is COMPLETELY unplayable on switch since new update, crashing over AND OVER. My added information is: no matter the fix (ie, redownloading the update data, restarting the game and system, deleting game entirely and redownloading, etc) it still happens. I cant believe they rolled out a fix update for the crashing for every other system except Switch. All of the bug reports on this for the Switch have like no views/hardly any votes, so…
Mine too! I have been trying to play just doing random tasks or even AFK and it just crashes, it says “software closed because error occurred” or something like that. It's annoying having to save and quit after 5 minutes just to make sure my progress is saved
