S I'm wanting to play corssplay MC with an artist friend who happens to play it on his PS4. Now I can already play with him via my Switch, but it's laggy af from my end, both in terms of Switch perf and network.
I want to play with him via Bedrock edition, but here's where the usual MS haystack issue arises;
I uninstalled the old MC launcher (which was apparently called the MC "unified launcher") and all that was left was the new one. It still has my Java ver installed which is dandy and it's left that alone for the most part.
I've migrated my MJ account to my Xbox one, since they were going to enforce that anyway. I'm trying to use the new launcher to install and play Bedrock edition, so I can actually do the crossplay part, but the big ol problem is, that I cannot get Bedrock edition to install, because it constantly says "idle" in the download bar, and then I get this if I try to reboot the launcher:
I honestly have no idea how to resolve this issue, because as usual, MS has something going on, that should otherwise be a simple task. It lets me choose where to install the game, but it won't do anything, and I've even tried going to the Win 10 store, and launch it from there, but the same issue persists.
Why is this so hard?. Why can't I download, install and launch a game when it comes to MS?. I can install practically any game on Steam and launch them fine (unless it's a super ancient game that doesn't support modern OS's or is a really shoddy port).
My last solution, is to flat out uninstall the launcher entirely and try to re-download it from the Win 10 store, and hope to god that it will let me fucking download Bedrock edition. I wish MS hadn't fucked around with Bedrock, because 2 yrs ago, I was able to install it as it's own app, without the need for the Java version launcher, but now they won't allow you to do that and I'm stuck with this weird ass mess. MS tech support spew the usual shit of "uPdAtE uR dRiVeRs", even though I'm always up to date on fucking everything, and that hardly ever resolves issues for me.
I hate UWP...god I really do.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
