I’m experiencing the same auto save lag and possible related issues since the 1.18.30 update.

Every time my game (single player, survival, bedrock edition, Nintendo switch) tries to autosave, it lags terribly! The game continues to run but the graphics completely freeze for 30-45 secs before resuming for 30 secs, and then freezing again for another 30-45 secs. It does this repetitively about 3 times per single auto save attempt. It makes the game nearly unplayable. If it happens when I’m nearby any hostile mobs then I end up dying by the time it unfreezes.

I don’t know if it’s related to the auto save lag, but I’m also experiencing complete crashing now and again of the entire game. The screen will freeze for 5-10mins before I have to close and restart the software. After closing but before restarting I’ll always get an error message. Very frustrating!

Also unsure if related to the lag issue, but broken blocks don’t disappear as they should and solid ones are also invisible. I’ve tried to keep playing despite this (before the game tries auto saving again) but so often I’ll mine a block and not see that I’ve opened up a hole to a pool of lava and inevitably burn to death. I’d had this issue before the 1.18.30 update, but nowhere near as badly as it has become since. Prior to 1.18.30 it only lasted for 2-3 secs and happened very rarely, but now it lasts for 3-5mins and on about half the blocks I mine.

anyone else experiencing these bugs together too?

I’m experiencing the same issue. Been playing bedrock edition on the switch for 2-3 years and had a few minor issues (or “miner issues”…. Sorry) with it in that time, but it is completely unplayable now since the 1.18.33 update came out. The game freezes temporarily for a few seconds about 3 times per minute, but after about 10 minutes it freezes permanently! I have to close the software entirely and restart it each time but it keeps freezing about 10 mins in every time. What’s more is that the game seems to continue while the screen is frozen. If I’m near any angry mobs they’ll kill me while frozen, the day cycle will continue etc. it’s so frustrating! Seems to happen mostly when the game is trying to autosave, opening inventory and chests takes forever to load, and even starting up the game from a saved point takes much longer to render now. It used to always take a few seconds to render before the update but it’s 3 or 4 times worse now. Seems like this latest update has broken the game entirely 😞
