The game crashes during or immediately after the loading splash screen if no Internet connection is available. This is very easy for me to reproduce:
disable wifi
launch the game
wait ~30s for crash
It does the same thing if I am connected to a local-only wifi connection without an Internet connection. If I re-enable wifi, the game launches without issue.
This may be related MCPE-54465, except I have isolated to one specific issue. The account I am using has character purchases associated with it. I have not tried with a brand new account.
