Wit's End would absolutely describe how I'm feeling right now about this bug.
It has reached the point where my daughter will literally no longer play multiplayer with me because she'll spend an hour (or in today's instance JUST FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) building an amazing looking house or digging for diamonds or going through an ancient city and then the Save Icon will appear and will not go away and we both know it's over.
Today's was the final straw. I am on a PS5. Latest version of Bedrock. My son is on an Xbox Series S, latest edition of Bedrock. My daughter is on a Nintendo Switch, latest edition of Bedrock.
When my son started playing with me in my PS5 world, it seemed fine. When my daughter joined on the Switch just a few minutes later, everything seemed fine.
But then my son flew an Elytra into a new section of map and it would not render at all. It was all empty space and my Save Icon appeared and would not go away.
This was only about 30 minutes total of playing together and we lost it all. Then we tried again and as soon as the Switch entered the fray, it did it again.
I literally don't understand how a bug that affects something this big isn't fixed yet.
I own a PS5 and play Minecraft on it exclusively.
While I have not experienced this issue in single player mode, I usually only play 1 hour or less at a time. When I play multiplayer, which right now is only with one Xbox user, I will play 2 hours or longer. Each time this happens, whether or not the other play quits first, the following happens.
I set a respawn point at the bed in my house. I do NOT see the "Saving" Icon in the top right when I do this.
I Save & Quit
I get stuck at the "Saving to your PS4" screen. I waited about 10 minutes the first time and only about 3 the second time because I found out about this bug.
I quit Minecraft while it is still "saving."
I go back in and at the Load Screen the SCREENSHOT is of exactly where I was when I saved.
I load the game and instead of being in my house with the hours of progress saved, instead I spawn at the actual spawn point of my Multiplayer companion at the bottom of my map with no progress saved. It picks up at the last place I saved before the Multiplayer session.
This shows Resolved but I don't see a new Version where it has gone in yet. Will it get a version number when it changes to Closed? I don't know the workflow well enough for ya'll. Thank you!

That's when this bug was first reported.
@Mojang what do you need from us to help? I realize this usually only happens when Multiplayer is engaged. It may not seem important to you. But when one son is on an Xbox, another is on the Switch, and I am on PS5 with the world we all want to enjoy, playing for 3 hours only to have it all not save is heartbreaking.
Is it because the bug is on Sony's platform? I understand your boss and Sony aren't playing along nicely, but is that a reason to not work on allowing us back to the multiplayer table?
I'm willing to do what is necessary. I can play two platforms on my own to replicate this issue. I know all I have to do is load into the PS5 and join with Switch and after 5 minutes it'll be enough to cause my PS5 world to not save.
Or maybe you want us all to spend money on Realms so we don't have this problem?
Pretty sneaky if that's the case. Then I could understand the silence.
