I've got a staff member to respond on Twitter and they said that they are having several engineers looking at the issue and they're unhappy with their performance (he's talking about the developer team I'm assuming?). They're hoping to have more to share on the issue soon.
This was yesterday:
No don't throw that around William, I have clearly specified that I'm playing on a multiplayer realm multiple times. Speak for yourself or you will misinform everyone!
Muting the chat did not change anything for me
That actually makes sense! My friend Always says she doesn't have the same problems as me and I wrote it off as her not being perceptive of it but she does happen to have the chat muted I believe. Gonna try this when I get home!
After playing for a while with 1.11 on Switch I can say the following:
general performance has improved, I get noticeably higher framerates in situations that stress the console a fair bit
despite the framerate improvement, the game still freezes for seconds just as often as before
disabling the multiplayer slider doesn't change anything at all
I saw on Twitter that 1.11.3 is coming very soon though so fingers crossed! It really is time for this to get fixed...
I know. I just want to spread the word.
Hey Ali I get that it doesn't help and I agree that patience is very important. And I also have shared all information I got about the issue. But would you call this approach customer friendly? Because I certainly wouldn't.
You have to remember that in the end, Minecraft is a product, and we are the consumers. Currently, we have a product that's broken in a very fundamental way. If it were a product you bought from a physical retailer you could've returned it or get it resolved through warranty. But because Minecraft is a game they have a different approach. We are just being told to wait. It's not quite the ideal way to communicate with your customers so don't defend them for that it's plain wrong.
Also reminder that we're essentially losing money through our subscription because they made a mistake. If this were to happen in basically any other industry then they would've to resolve it with compensation in some shape or form. It's perfectly normal but I know that it won't happen because this is a video game after all lol
Let's not forget that other games get playtested thoroughly and they pay people to find bugs and fix them before release. With Minecraft they let us do the bug finding work as volunteers and still expect us to just accept our losses with this. Alright then!
Yeah a compensation for Realm subscriptions would be great, people who have a Realm are essentially just throwing away their money. Kinda baffling and unprofessional, especially seeing how big Minecraft Bedrock in particular is.
I have been reading through all comments and combining it with my experience I think there is something wrong on a more general level with the game on Switch. Maybe there is some kind of data stream oversight that makes this happen. Because the freezes occur far less frequently when you stay in a small confined area. But even then, they are still there and happen basically every minute as opposed to multiple times a minute.
The fact that nothing in the graphics settings or whatever do anything for the bug further indicates that it's a bug within a fundamental part of the game like I said before.
Also to everyone who has this issue please upvote this bug as we Switch players definitely deserve to have this fixed. While I did hear that there is a skilled developer assigned to this bug we never have gotten a concrete update on it so who knows if they are still making progress?
Like many others have already said, disabling multiplayer does not help at all.
I'm really surprised that over 2 months have elapsed and we still haven't gotten an update from the developers.
Oh well, I stopped playing for now because it's such a drag to get anything done in the game like this. But my realm subscription which I paid for is still going, nice.
I'm sorry but the update on this issue is completely false. Disabling multiplayer does exactly nothing for the problem. The game still freezes every minute for several seconds, there are consistent framedrops and opening any chests, your inventory or even crafting causes the game to stutter a lot. I'm starting to wonder if this game is even being play tested on Switch because if one were to play for only 5 minutes it already would have been extremely obvious that something is wrong.
It's impossible to play survival like this, because during the stutters mobs are still able to attack you while you (the player) aren't able to respond to them. I'm honestly annoyed that this means that I'm essentially locked out of my game until 1.11 comes out. Assuming that it's fixed by then at least, because I kind of expected that it would've been fixed this update.
I get that it's a difficult bug to fix and all but come on... Somehow it became even worse with 1.10...
The game lags consistently and from what I can tell it is some kind of problem with loading in assets. There are also bugs with invisible chunks (blocks are tangible but not visible) and it all seems to cause a chain reaction. Weird part is that if you remain in a confined area performance is fine, I have a storage room with lots of item frames and mobs nearby and it runs smoothly but once new chunks and assets need to be loaded in the game drops down to below the 30 fps and it's highly annoying.
It also happens when just exploring natural environments with no player builds at all. I also don't have anything going in on my spawn chunks so that can't be the source.
Really hoping for a fix because the Switch is certainly capable of running the game fine, especially since my laptop from 2012 runs it smoother.
I'm having the same problem. Realms work fine and local Switch to Switch works too for me. But whenever I try to join a Switch world on my Switch it doesn't work and they can't join mine either. However, if I use Windows 10 edition I can join Switch worlds just fine.
Honestly this is so stressful
Hopefully the data did not get corrupted or something because if that's the case then everything will be gone forever woo
Also this issue happened when a friend rejoined my world after the update. They lost all their player data, from inventory to permissions! We're both playing on Switch by the way
The texture isn't fine, water is not red
Can confirm this issue. I play on Switch. My friend, who is also playing on Switch, joined my game and appeared at spawn while he left the game a couple days earlier while standing in my house along with iron armor on which he also lost. This has to be fixed because I know that one of my friends has some valuable enchanted books in their inventory :0
By the way, player permissions also reset with the update
This thread on Reddit also got pointed out to me:
