MCD-7246Switch local multiplayer with newest cake armour and sparkler crashes game on opening shops
Awaiting Response
I am experiencing this problem on the Nintendo Switch. I am playing split-screen on a local world with the world owner (am player 2) but this also happens when the world owner comes close to my house with nobody else logged in.
I logged in, post-update, in my house that contains: 40 villagers, 20 or so fish, 1 cat and 1 dog, a bunch of about 20 or so other animals like sheep horses and chickens, 8 boats, 4 iron golems, 9 hoppers, 11+ double chests, with 11 full beehives nearby as well as a small farm (wheat, carrots, pumpkin/melon etc), + 15 bamboo and over 60 sugar canes. Also quite a few vines on the walls.
This whole setup was working fine before the update, only getting choppy when more than one player was in my house, or I was using the hoppers. It also got pretty bad that one time where I bred hundreds of chickens, yet it still never got as bad as it did after 1.18.30:
When logged in, the game froze for 1m10s to 1m30s at a time (timed it with a stopwatch), with it unfreezing for only 1-5s at a time.
During this time the music was playing fine throughout.
A person underwater will be dead by the time control resumes.
Here's what I did to be able to play again:
From the back of the nearby house, here's what I could see still rendering jerkily in my house, even as the walls weren't showing:
The frame rate also dropped when the nearby farm came into view.
EDIT: There is now a separate job for the Switch freezes,
MCPE-154110I will transfer my comment to this job as it is more relevant there.

UPDATE:
I tried the following:
In the village, a lot of my villagers had gone and I had a few without beds. A side effect of the reduced render distance and loading some of the village but not all of it, so villagers sleeping and working in different chunks are affected. Cats now spawn underground in the village when they didn't use to, compounding the processing problem. I removed all the decorative vines in case it helped.
The intense freezing resumed when all the villagers/bees woke up.
Successfully managed to enter my house without freezes. (40+ villagers, fish, animals, golems, bees) so there has been a marked improvement. The game is playable again!
We put the settings back up, too.
A couple of things puzzled us, which will probably end up tracked in a separate issue:
Still, good job!
Update:
The game still freezes when I am in a mob-heavy area AND we have 3 or 4 players playing in split screen. No errors happen with 2 players.
My house contains a village with about 45 villagers + cats, about 20 tropical fish, 24 bees, another 20 animals and 4 iron golems. It was a bit laggy before 1.18.30, unplayable until 1.18.32, seemingly fine since except for that.
However, the freeze only happens after a little while in the village, about half a day or so.
The freeze lasted well over a minute and unfroze for only a few seconds.
During that time:
I have added some (hopefully correct) repros for an issue that sounds very much like this one in the job
MCPE-155980Also included is how I almost fixed it, and where it feels like the problem comes from.
I went from 4 extra villagers without beds to just the 1 by just mining and re-adding all the beds 1 by 1, then adding more beds for the bedless villagers while watching out for breeding. Whether it's something out of sync on the bed or the villager or the "village" I don't know.
To stop this:
Oh interesting, are you saying the long freezes experienced were actually crashes and there was some data loss? That might explain why some of the villagers vanished. I thought it was just a side effect of villages being only half-loaded.
I'd love to experiment some more to try and get villagers and beds to match again, we've just been spending more time outside because of summer.
Presumably for the issue to happen, the bed and villager count in the village is some kind of variable which is only updated when a bed is placed down, mined, or a villager added or removed? And when that happens the variable is incremented or decremented by one, it doesn't recount at any point.
At which point, if I still have one more villager than bed, there's one bed out there that isn't counted, I need to find it, mine it and replace it. It worked for the other 3.
Same here, also on switch. (lite)
It looks like the horse armour texture fails to render with the base texture.
When the game is restarted, the horses look non-glitchy, yet have no markings anymore. The model displayed in their inventory shows the correct markings.
Riding a glitchy horse and opening its inventory twice removes the flashing texture.
It looks like the textures are corrupted, and only show a very small portion of the texture stretched to the whole model for one of the texture layers.
