[MCPE-37149] Texture Pack updating loop

Pressing play on a world that has the City texture enabled causes the game to sync data, then updating packs 1 of 1, when it finishes nothing happens and you have to press play on the world, which still nothing happens. Restarting the game and trying again to play your world causes the same issue. 1 of every 5 tries the world opens. Every try without the City texture it opens. Deleting the City texture and reinstalling does not fix. As a minecraft veteran, I am frustrated by this Broken Rocks edition. I have experienced every bug this version has had, and it shadows all console editions bugs combined. This version has left such a bad taste since beta. The development team is doing a fantastic job fixing bugs, but the bugs need fixed quicker and before release to the public. I am not in the Beta so why do I feel like I am?

Edit: Pressing B during the second updating loading bar allows you to get in game easier. A better chance at least. I have reason to believe the second updating loading bar is the bug, because the first one finishes then it starts at about 60% on the second one. Additionally, this only happens for me after updating the texture, to which it needs updated every time I attempt to use the City texture. Essentially it is updating nothing or not saving.

Attachments: Sort by Date; In order:

1. Idle on menu after loading minecraft.

2. Selecting the world and opening.

3. Texture update bar 1; 0% to 100%

4. Texture update bar 2; 60% to 100%

5. After the texture update bars, you see your worlds and none will open. Restarting Minecraft puts you back into this loop.

Unable to reproduce on Nintendo Switch

I experienced this problem on Windows 10 the first time I tried to open a world after downloading 1.6.0. I tried to open the world several times. Nothing happened. I closed the game and restarted it, and after that it worked fine.

In my case it was not the City texture pack, but it may have been a third-party texture pack (CodeCrafted MCPE) for which I have replaced the pack_manifest.json file with copies of the updated manifest each time it has been upgraded over the last several versions. I tried applying that resource pack to a different world that didn't have it, then looked in com.mojang to see whether it had been upgraded by 1.6. It hadn't, either in the global resource_packs folder or in the world's resource_packs folder.

I am experiencing the same issue on Xbox for all local worlds, including those using the default textures. Version 1.6.0, not in beta

Unable to reproduce the bug on Windows 10.

Create a new world using the City Texture pack
Open and exit the world several times

Does this only happen after updating, perhaps? If so please add more details and steps to reproduce.

I have this - or a similar - issue on Xbox. World was created under 1.4.3 and uses the City texture pack. Every time I open the world, the game downloads/installs the City texture pack again. The world opens up OK after that, but for some reason it needs to download the pack every time. The world is only ~91MB.

Can you please try removing any older cached packs using the storage settings?

Jose Sandiako 2018-09-12T15:16:14Z

I have removed the textures and reinstalled completely in the storage files. The issue went away for me after a week of the loop, but I opened up a default texture world and it came back.

Jose Sandiako 2018-09-19T19:41:33Z

As of currently, any world with the city texture will not open, spent about an hour restarting, deleting and re-opening. This renders the game unenjoyable.

For what it is worth, I had the City texture pack as a global resource default. Removing it from that list seemed to make the problem go away. The world opens up without re-downloading the pack now. The game seems to have a slightly new behavior in 1.6.1 where it will get to the main "Play" menu and then shortly switch to "Loading Resources" for a moment and then back to the main menu. No problems loading worlds after that.

As an update, the updating packs 2 loading bar is gone. What isn't gone is the updating packs 1 of 1. I spent over an hour trying to simply play minecraft. This glitch needs fixed ASAP. I have a quarter of a second to press B during the updating pack 1 of 1 to cancel it, which lets me select my world a second time to load in. If I fail, I have to restart minecraft, to which because it is Bedrock on xbox, it takes about a minute to reopen because it's un-responsive, then add the 3 minute loading screens. Deleting the textures does nothing.

Were the packs involved entitlements that were carried over from the Legacy console editions? Or does this affect any packs bought from the Marketplace also?

Jose Sandiako 2018-10-09T22:37:59Z

For me, it is the city texture brought from 360, to Xbox one, to bedrock edition. I do not think this issue is only the city texture because this loop happens every time I open a world.

Jose Sandiako 2018-11-16T16:00:59Z

As of today's date, this update loop glitch is back again for me. This must be a very isolated issue, but nonetheless very irritating.

chickensoup 2018-12-15T10:37:24Z

I've had this in the 1.8 and 1.9 betas on windows 10 - I know its the city texture pack because I cant log in to xbox live without the game freezing and that's the only pack that survives without being logged in.

I have to go to global resources and keep choosing packs and going back to the title screen until it says 'updating pack 1 of 1'. this keeps you on the global resources screen but at least you can just go back to title screen and play with no problem
