A S

Switch user here - can confirm this same issue is happening on my system, but a bit differently.

I recently purchased a Realms Plus subscription for my family (4 players total). As the Realm owner, I can post screenshots / stories fine, but when any of my 3 family members try to post a screenshot, they get the same error as the OP mentioned.

They can post text-only stores just fine, however.

Trying to play Hardcore mode on the Switch, with the lag / performance issues it currently has, would be incredibly frustrating. 

Wanted to briefly post new information - The new update appears to have introduced slight performance improvements to the Switch version, which was nice to see.

That might just be confirmation bias, however. 😛

Was anyone else's copy a bit faster / smoother after the latest update?

Thanks for the updates @ThatComicStenzo - Super helpful! Would honestly be interested in any fix that Mojang comes up with at this point.

In my experience, individual game performance on modern consoles is actually supposed to improve over time, with bug fixes, patches, etc.

Minecraft is literally the only Switch game I can think of where the exact opposite has happened - Overall performance has only gotten worse over time. At least recently.

That "Boost Mode" option is fascinating - Would love to see something like that implemented on Minecraft Switch. Is it only for games in docked mode, or does it work in handheld mode as well? I ask because the majority of my family plays in handheld mode, and I wonder if it would help them.

And yes, I agree - The in-game issues are incredibly frustrating. For example, when my family and I travel somewhere, and we come to an ocean, we literally have to get in boats and travel a few blocks at a time because the chunks take so long to load. If we travel too fast (in other words, at normal walking speed), the game will stop loading chunks and crash. It's infuriating.

The thing is, my family and I LOVE playing Minecraft together, and things were literally fine until about 6 months ago. It's sad that a game that encourages you to "build your imagination" starts to slow down and lag when you start to build something even "sort of" big. It would be nice to know if Mojang is actively working on this issue for Switch, especially since they are still actively selling it. When I search the forum tickets, all I can find are abandoned conversations and closed reports.

Have searched through various tickets, and it seems like these issues have been known, and reported, for a while.

The Marketplace lag / freezing issues are particularly confusing. I mean, the Marketplace is supposed to be the main way to give Mojang more money. The fact that is it so glitchy, laggy and difficult to use is...Baffling. 

There are DLC packs that I have thought about buying, but decided not to, just because I'm worried they would have significant performance issues.

Cross-posting from a similar ticket I created yesterday (found here: MCPE-178439 )

"Boost Mode" does indeed sound like a great option! Switch version performance seems to be degrading with every new update - Hopefully Mojang can do SOMETHING to remedy the issue.

My family and I used to eagerly look forward to playing Minecraft together on weekends. Now we sometimes avoid playing it altogether, just so we don't have to deal with frustrating lag.

My apologies for the dupe! While different circumstances, it does indeed seem like MCPE-177148 deals with similar issues - Severe, consistent lag.

How should I proceed? Should I just add my ticket notes to MCPE-177148?

Thank you for the update. The seed of this world is -7643957675961554067 using lush caves single biome generation. Unfortunately, I lost the coordinates of the image. The best information I can give you is that it is probably within 10000 blocks of spawn, as I had only travelled half that distance when I loaded the world again. I will try to find this location or another similar incident and comment again when I do with the coordinates.

As a quick follow-up - If any mods or developers need any questions answered, please let me know! I am eager to get this issue fixed.

Also, I'm assuming that a lot of new Kindles will be bought / given as gifts for the holidays, and we won't be the only ones with this issue.

One of the developers above asked for us to upload our world - I'm in the same boat as "Maximillian" above. We have no other worlds on our Minecraft and cannot create a new world, so as of right now our Minecraft is indeed "useless."

Hello!

I have created an account here just to mention that I am having the exact same issue. My child loves playing Minecraft and it works perfectly fine on their older Amazon Kindle device. I recently purchased a new Kindle for my child and downloaded the newest version of Minecraft and, when I attempt to create a world while logged into their Child Profile, I get the message "There was a problem loading this world"

Have attempted to completely uninstall and reinstall the program - This doesn't work.

Have attempted to run program both off and on WiFi - This doesn't work.

Would love to roll back to a previous version of Minecraft, but since we're using a Kindle / Mobile device, this unfortunately isn't possible.

Please let us know when there is a fix! My children were looking forward to creating a world together during school break - This is now not possible due to this issue.

Game Version: 1.16.201

Storage: There is approx. 29 gigs of storage left on their 32 gig SD card (where the game is installed)
