Yeah this happens far too often. Crashes happen consistently across all versions, too. I could be playing with a friend on Xbox one and one on mobile and when any of us crashes, we all crash. Never seen a crash be this bad, tbh
I can attest to this. 1.10 fixed the random frame drops, but along with it came this stupid freeze/lock up that happens way too frequently. Disabling multiplayer didn't help at all, and the game locks up so frequently that it's not even fun. Bugs like these are the reason people stop playing the game.
Thi issue STILL happens on 1.18. this is just awful, paying for my world to be stuck in a permanent limbo
