I decided to delete then re-download the game. It made its own copy of the world about 200mb smaller than the original and when I loaded in, it was as if my account had never been on the world before. All my stuff was gone, I was at world spawn, my end chest, exp, spawn set bed, everything was gone. Some builds were completely gone, others only partially missing. Mobs were in all random spots. The craziest part to me was the fact there was entire chunks missing all the way down to the void. I went into creative mode to look around more since I was on a copy and realized its done for anyways. I took a video but its not wanting to upload to this site at all currently, I'll keep trying though. I'm just glad that my original world is still safely backed up. I also decided to make another copy of it and attempting to load it just crashes it like it has been since the copper drop.
Still just freezing and crashing
We'll probably just have to wait and see if it gets fixed with an update
Even when attempting to upload the world as a realm, it only attempts to upload/download about 6.4mb out of the 640mb that the actually is.
I just tried that and it completely reset my world. Now no matter how many times I copy it and it does load, its reset everything. The last memories with my brother are on my world so luckily I have copies of the original. If I lose the world I'm giving up on minecraft all together. This is is insanely ridiculous
Deleting and reinstalling the game does not work, everything is up to date and Sony is far to restrictive to share videos and files efficiently to showcase the issue
Never used experimental features or mods on my world. My world is only 600 mb and all the game does is freeze and crash.
I bought a realms subscription and tried to upload it to that, but it just crashes when clicking on “Play on Realms" as well. Gonna be devastating if all those memories and the time is gone just because the copper update.
I was unable to format the USB drive to FAT32(wasted $20), and as the previous person mentioned, there is only an option for cloud storage or deleting. I can't even transfer it to the spare 2TB hard drive that I forgot I had which is empty.
I'm having the same issue as well with my nearly 4 year old survival world. If the issue isn't resolved by the time I get off of work today (around 4pm CST) I will go and buy a USB to upload my world.

This is the best way I could think to do it at the moment. I uploaded the video to YouTube and the video quality went to crap in YouTubes rendering but you can still see what I'm trying to say. It's the only video on my channel so you cant miss it.
