Minecraft Win10: "There was a problem loading this world"

AnnaKonda2 · May 29, 2022

I have Minecraft bedrock for windows 10.

Today while I was playing, my computer unexpectedly shut down. Now whenever I try to open the world, it simply says "There was a problem loading this world." I've restarted MC, restarted my computer, even went into settings and tried the Windows "repair app" in vain. It did absolutely nothing.

I've heard of a way to fix this in Xbox where you have to delete cache/world data and then reinstall it from the server and it will work again. However this does not apply to me.

So far I've only found one possible way for me to fix this for Win10. It requires copying the seed of the corrupted world to create a new one of the same seed. Then you go into files and replace the data of the corrupted world with that of the new one, saving any progress you've made, and it allows you to play it once more.

However, there is one problem with this: I've had this world from way before the Caves & Cliffs update. The world generation has changed dramatically since I updated my version, and now whenever I use the seed of the corrupted world, the new world is completely different. The only way I could try to fix with the method above is if I could somehow downgrade MC to an older version. Unfortunately downgrading is impossible for Bedrock, unless I use suspicious third-party tools and extremely risky file manipulation. I do not want to risk breaking the entire game to save just one world.

Is there any hope of ever recovering my world, or am I just screwed? I have spent many hours on it and it would crush me to have it all gone forever. Thank you for reading

Hi AnnaKonda2! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

If you uninstall the game and then install it again, when you install the gane again it should download the content from the cloud again, so that's the same that happens on the console, other possible ways are not really recommended

So as I was playing on my minecraft world my game froze. I decided to shut down my xbox and then unplug it. When I loaded back into my Minecraft world, it said: “There was a problem loading this world.” How can i fix this so i can get back on my
world? Thanks.

My world says the same thing please fix this bug!

you might need to uninstall and reinstall it or try making a new world and having the same issue before you uninstall it

The server for that world might be down. It happened to a friend of mine before. Make sure you restart your console and see if it refreshes the server connection and then maybe it will appear again

Hello there @Nikowas, I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support. I am sorry to know about the game situation, but I want you not to worry about it because I am here to help you out! I believe your console might need either a network reset or just a system refresh. I
would like you to go through the following steps to clear the Mac address and then perform a quick power cycle on your console:

Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear it and the console should restart. It would definitely help if you could restart the internet router while the console is restarting.

After going through the troubleshooting steps mentioned, I invite you to perform a quick power cycle by turning off the console and then unplugging all the cables. After 2 to 3 minutes, re-plug them back again, then restart your console.

Another thing you should check is your NAT type. I would like you to check your NAT type if open because that could sometimes interfere. to check for the NAT type you can follow the steps below:

Settings > Network Settings > NAT type => It should be open.

If the NAT type is not open, you will need to open some ports with your internet provider. These ports must be open for Xbox Live to work: Port 88 (UDP) Port 3074 (UDP and TCP) Port 53 (UDP and TCP) Port 80 (TCP) Port 500 (UDP) Port 3544 (UDP) Port 4500
(UDP).

In case the issue still persists after the previous steps have been performed here is the official link to all the network troubleshooting steps that can help sort this out for you.

The link: Troubleshoot your Xbox One network connection | Xbox Support

In case the issue still persists, the next step would be to perform a reset on the console. To do so you will need to follow the steps below to perform a reset on the Xbox :

Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

Note =>The "Reset and Keep my Games and Apps" option will not cause losing your games, but please be aware that you need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account before going for it because it will require you
to sign in to the account.

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!
