@Grant I have tried doing this MULTIPLE TIMES. more than 5x and my game still won't work. i also do not have an SD card for memory so that isn't an issue.... this is an issue with Mojang programming as the issue started with the 1.16.1 update and got worse with the patch update 1.16.201.... the game is officially UNUSABLE because of the 1.16.201 update..... I paid for the game and i can't use it. this is beyond frustrating and is unacceptable.
THIS IS STILL A MAJOR ISSUE!!!!! I paid $28.50 for a solid copy of MineCraft to prevent these types of issues and I can't even use it.... I'm LIVID about this...... I can't even use OFFLINE PERSONAL WORLDS or REALMS or Join a Friends world..... this is beyond aggravating and unacceptable..... This need to be addressed Quickly.
It will still occasionally do this. But not every time.
STILL NO SOLUTION AFTER 11 DAYS! NOT AMUSED MOJANG.... this needs to be fixed.....
