  • Oliver Evans

    O have a continuous loading screen ps4

  • Sebastian Salvatore

    Since the Microsoft integration minecraft keeps crashing and now it won’t even load past the loading screen. We’ve tried reinstalling and disconnecting from the Internet but to no avail.

    At this rate I’m just going to sell the game since I can’t bloody play it.

    • Reese Freeman

      don’t sell it because the servers should be coming back on soon. its probably because of convid-19. a couple million kids are playing so come back in a month and you should not have many problems.

  • Edward Maxwell

    my sister wants to play my world with me but on her computer it says authentication servers are down for maintanence
    What Do I do?

  • 0ddness

    Thursday 6th February – PS4. Gets to the minecraft screen with the animated loading bar , but doesn’t do anything… The bar continues to animate, but the progress bar does not pass the 4th block. I’ve left it half an hour, I’ve tried disabling the Internet, but no joy.

    • Katrina Casteel

      Did your game start working again? Did you ever figure out why it was doing that? Mine is doing the same thing right now. Everything is fine with internet n so fourth but Minecraft wont go past the loading icon and if it does then it freezes at the main menu.

      • 0ddness

        Hi 🙂
        In the end, I had to backup my worlds, uninstall and then reinstall minecraft. It didn’t take long, and once I re-downloaded my saves, it worked fine. Mojang didn’t want to know and suggested I report it on the bug tracker, but PlayStation support also suggested uninstall and reinstall too.

        Hope that helps!

      • 0ddness

        It could also be the Microsoft integration, I had issues with that a while back too. To solve that, I found out helped to turn off the Internet access on the ps4 settings, load minecraft, and once fully loaded, go back to the ps4 settings and re-enable the Internet.

        Both issues are a pain to deal with… I hope either option helps.

  • UFC3 Live

    PS4 user here. The game won’t load any further than the Minecraft screen just after it says Mojang. Literally broken. Too afraid to delete and reinstall since its a downloaded copy. I cant lose my worlds Id friggin destroy my real house in rage. Anyone else on PS4 having trouble loading the game? Its wack.

    Went and bought a used copy a few days ago and it was working fine i let it update as usual with games and then started to play.. It kept freezing when i went to open a chest.. So i took it back to gamestop paid the difference and got a new copy.. Brought it home put it in and for some reason it has reverted back to an older version of minecraft.. I tried deleting the game data to try and re install it but instead now when i put it in and launch it.. It comes on then goes black disconnects me from xbox live every time and just loads the very old version.. I have no clue what to do or why its happening.. Just my luck i guess..
