Daniel is right, they haven't released 1.16.220, which is the release that should hopefully fix this bug. Someone mentioned that the quit and reload started working again, so I thought maybe it reverted back to that method instead of being completely resolved. Still waiting for 1.16.220. The only concern I have is that when I've logged in to check it (before even submitting a bug), that it's overwritten whatever progress I had before the last update, which wiped it out. Hopefully there's a way for the devs to restore an account and profile back to where it was before the last update came out
Not sure if the patch has been installed yet, but I logged in and all my progress as Player 2 is still gone. I’m all set with Minecraft. If the patch was installed it didn’t work to restore profiles
Sincere thanks for the update @OcelotOnesie. I do think that although this critical bug "only" had 140 votes, there were dozens of other submitted bugs that merged to this one, so the upvotes and bug submissions were spread out.
I won't be joining the Beta, obviously, since my progress wouldn't show up there. However, my assumption is that the fix will restore the Player 2's progress before it was wiped out. According to Gamepedia, I think 1.17 is coming in the summer...and that is a valid question, whether we have to wait until 1.17 or is there another intermediate release that would fix it?
@Andrew I highly doubt they triage. Their lack of focus and subsequent lack of communication on this issue is pretty bad
If anyone has a chance, go on the "Mojira" subreddit and make some comments. The mods there get very sensitive about commenting on bugs, even though that forum is specifically for bugs. Overall, I am having a hard time understanding why Mojira and some of the mods for its subreds, and on Twitter, and on here or wherever are so tightlipped and condescending about an issue like this. Minecraft is nothing without its fanbase, especially younger ones, and they are going to start losing them to other similar games that actually work, like Roblox. The lack of attention to this (~18 months old) bug that CRIPPLES gameplay - and maybe more importantly - lack of communication on it, is severely disappointing. It's not like they are working on a DARPA project, they could give updates. Isn't that what Jira is made for anyways? To track the lifecycle of an issue, and provide a means for communication on it? One would think so...
Got this reply from @latelagmc on Twitter: “ Sorry, I'm just a moderator on the tracker. I don't really fix bugs or have a say in which ones they do. All I can say is that the team is aware of the reoccurence of this issue.” Sounds like they are aware, but not sure what the status is otherwise. Doesn’t hurt for others to bring it up on Twitter as well
People need to go on twitter en masse and write to @mojangsupport @latelagmc (moderator for this site) @stampylongnose (Minecraft influencer) @iBallisticSquid (Minecraft influencer) and #mojang and #minecraft, just copy/paste the link to this bug, reference it, whatever, etc. Not sure Reddit would get as much traction but it’s also encouraged. Mojang needs to be accountable to its customers and fans of Minecraft about the issue
I’d like to try the Xbox app as well. As for Realms vs local, my issue is with local and I think most are, although it sounds like Realms has issues too. For mine it’s a local game for my family, that is saved in the cloud. We play two or three players, Xbox Gamepass, but it looks like the platform and software type don’t matter, it’s something on the Minecraft servers
Correct. All of the second player accounts were deleted in all the worlds. We haven’t played since this bug appeared. Also I posted on Reddit on the Minecraft and Mojang bug subs and some said the following: “Fortunately, the ADO of the bug was touched by a Mojang dev and official game tester as recently as mid-February of this year, which is a good sign that they're aware of it and have some kind of priority for fixing it. Unfortunately, I believe that's all anyone here will be able to tell you, as the devs don't frequent this sub. If someone more knowledgeable has any corrections, feel free to correct me.”
Yes, my profile is removed from the other worlds we had too (i.e. a couple others in creative mode). Wondering if this is also worth bringing up in a Reddit thread as well to get more eyes
Everyone go and enter bugs here: https://bugs.mojang.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa so they're forced to merge it to MCPE-55815
Then, everyone try to make them trending by mentioning it on twitter, to the following handles and hashtags:
@mojang
@mojangsupport
@mojangstatus
@minecraft
#minecraft
#mojang
To some other points earlier, I think the more people that submit bugs the better, it forces them to merge it to this one and ideally they get a sense how big of an issue it has become. This thread and the one on Microsoft Community were latent until this most recent update to 1.16.210.06
I submitted a help request ticket to Mojang and they told me they can only deal with account issues, and to submit a bug. I did submit a bug and they merged it to this one. There is also a thread on this within the Microsoft community as well. What is surprising is that this has been going on for a long time and they haven't dealt with this. It used to clear when resetting but after the most recent update, it's become even more of a major issue. I wonder what gives - it's super annoying and is a major detraction to playing the game. I think most split screen players are two kids or kid and parent, and it's especially frustrating for younger players. Here is the latest thread on Microsoft Community on this https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/xba_gapp/minecraft-no-longer-saving-secondary-players-in/78ff5f83-d2db-41cd-95fd-dcbd5d880d6c?messageId=42986d4b-6345-4b9c-b187-071c34bb316f&page=1
Does anyone know when the 1.16.220 update is coming out? Not 1.16.220.52, which is the beta, but the 1.16.220 patch that will supposedly fix this bug?
