Game launch crashes when using windows symbolic link for minecraftWorlds
_____________
Steps to Reproduce:
- Backup your minecraftWorlds before!
- Delete minecraftWorlds
rmdir /q /s "%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds"
- Delete TEST folder if exists
rmdir /q /s "%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TEST\minecraftWorlds"
- Create TEST folder
mkdir "%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TEST\minecraftWorlds"
- Create symlink
mklink /J "%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds" "%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TEST\minecraftWorlds"
- Start Minecraft App
- Create a new world
Observed Results:
Error,
"There was a problem loading this world"
Expected Results:
No error, world should be created and placed in TEST folder
There seems to have been a change in behaviour since version 1.17.34, before with symlink Minecraft app crashed on start, now it starts and crashes on world create.
