Minecraft Dungeons on Switch keeps crashing

Consistent crashing during or before final fight with ender worm thingy, (aptly named) Broken Citadel. Rarely on other levels but always somewhere in citadel level. Also on level potential glitch on one round continued to heal throughout the entire level. No expiration.

Having the same issue with the game crashing after the end of round chest. As stated above this makes the game unplayable as it puts you in a crash loop- every time you load the character it takes you to the same end of round screen and subsequent crash. This has happened 4 times for us and the only thing we could do was clone the character and load again (this will keep your level and mission unlocks but erases your inventory, emeralds and gold, leaving your character with only what they had “in-hand” during the last mission). Obviously not an ideal solution.

The above workaround does not work. This bug is beyond frustrating.

UPDATE - Someone on the Minecraft Dungeons Discord suggested that having a full inventory when unlocking the end-of-round chest could be one cause of this. If this is the case and you have MCD on Switch you can try going into Minecraft Dungeons on PC (if you have a copy or know someone who does), Sign in to the Microsoft account tied to your Nintendo switch that has this bug. Then download that character that has the issue. And lastly, edit that game save

UPDATE 04/12/22 - WORKAROUND FOUND - This bug seems to occur when your inventory fills and the game tries to gift you an item from the end of round chest. To get around this:

1.Create a new character

2.Begin the game

3.In Camp invite a player

4.Choose the bugged character

5.Once loaded salvage inventory items to free up space

6.Quit to the main menu

7.Select the bugged character and begin game

8.The character should now load correctly

This same exact thing has been happening to us and it’s maddening. Almost kill the Vengeful Heart of Ender in the Citadel level and it crashes every single time. It’s obviously happening to lots of people so not specific to my Switch, have they acknowledged it or provided any workaround??

Ik heb precies hetzelfde probleem op de switch en tot nu toe helpt niets.
