Still have the issue in v 0.13
Do you want a tablet so you can check you game for error?
Now my son have had his tablet for 1 year only bout to play your game but not being able to and and no support from you and no response from you
Worst kind of support I have ever seen.

Comment by Andrew Ryazanoff [ 19/Oct/15 ]

I confirm. In version 12.1 alpha error is not corrected

Comment by Ken Przybylak [ 16/Oct/15 ]

I only get 12.1, have just updated

Comment by [Mojang] MissMarzenia (Aleksandra Zajac) [ 16/Oct/15 ]

The 12.2 is officially released now on iOS and Android. There is no beta test at the moment.

Comment by Ken Przybylak [ 16/Oct/15 ]

Comment by [Mojang] MissMarzenia (Aleksandra Zajac) [ 16/Oct/15 ]

Cleaning up old issues. If this bug still occurs in latest version, please leave a comment so we can reopen.

Comment by katy dumea [ 30/Aug/15 ]

I for one would be more then happy to send my tablet in to be looked at! Please fix this problem!!!

Comment by Ken Przybylak [ 30/Aug/15 ]

Just tested v. 12.1 beta 12 same issue.
Is no one looking at this? do you want a tablet send to you to fix it?

Comment by katy dumea [ 30/Aug/15 ]

Oh and I am using the most up to date version of mcpe 11.1

Comment by katy dumea [ 27/Aug/15 ]

Is anyone looking into this problem? If it helps I tried downloading a world map from mine maps. This did not work. My daughter was playing on her tablet and had the local server on and her world showed up on my screen. I was able to get into her world thru the server while she was playing.

Comment by katy dumea [ 21/Aug/15 ]

Yes I do have an sd card as for the directory when I open my storage it says there is 7.49 GB available its a 8GB card. There is nothing on the card.

Comment by Alex Barris [ 20/Aug/15 ]

Are you sure your device has a SD card, or a SD directory? Because this can happen if no SD directory exists.

Comment by katy dumea [ 20/Aug/15 ]

Sorry what exactly does that mean? I'm not the most tech savy sorry.

Comment by Rhyddian Abraham [ 20/Aug/15 ]

I think there is a problem with a query on the Db for Concurrent Users?

Comment by Ken Przybylak [ 20/Aug/15 ]

sadly this issue have been there sins november so don't get you hope heigh.

Comment by katy dumea [ 20/Aug/15 ]

Is ther a fix for this? i have a very upset daugher who cant play mcpe. Everytime we try to open a world we get the error msg saying bad file name. Please someone help me with this!!!!

Comment by katy dumea [ 20/Aug/15 ]

Comment by Rhyddian Abraham [ 15/Aug/15 ]

Please can you tell me the status of this call.
In my mind if its unassigned then no engineer is looking at it...

Comment by Rhyddian Abraham [ 15/Aug/15 ]

Reopened
Unasigned
Unresolved
Can you tell me if this is being looked at by ANYONE?

Comment by Andrew Ryazanoff [ 08/Aug/15 ]

Hi I was beta tester on 11 but can't remember how I dit, I can see you now have v.12 now can anyone tell how to get it, I don't think I havde recieved an opdate anoucment?

Comment by Ilona Andrews [ 06/Aug/15 ]

I have been redirected to this from MCPE-7623 and MCPE-9013. The tablet we are using had version 11.1 too. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it to make sure that we were on the latest version from Playstore and that is the version that it installed still today. I get the same error as Mandi has described above.

Comment by Mandi Cranson [ 06/Aug/15 ]

Having the same or similar problem as everyone else. Got a new tablet at Christmas, and haven't been able to play on it at all. ValuePad VP112-10, running Android 4.4.2, as already noted by others above. Currently running v0.11.1 alpha – checked PlayStore – no new updates showing. MC:PE downloads, installs, and opens. However, If I try to create a world, whether in Creative or Survival, I get the same error message: "'My World' can't be opened. Bad file number." I have also tried using Mine Sync to import my saved worlds, to see if this would bypass the "Create" option, but no luck. My worlds do show listed, but NOTHING will open – still same error message: "'My World' can't be opened. Bad file number." Otherwise, the interface looks normal. Just can't actually PLAY. If additional information is needed, I am more than happy to supply. Thanks for any help you can provide. Original ticket was MCPE-8494.

Update Affects Version/s: on this to 0.12.1 beta 5

Comment by Andrew Ryazanoff [ 05/Aug/15 ]

I can't edit issue header, so anybody add v.0.12.1 beta 5 to "Affected versions"

Comment by dan [ 04/Aug/15 ]

Sony Xperia TL Lt30a
Android JellyBean 4.2.2
MCPE 0.10.X - 0.11.X

I have used a live file viewer to monitor the generator to see where it messed up. The problem seems to be the file generating portion for sustain the world settings. It generates the files and then later goes to retrieve the files, but it cant, because it had accidentally, through redundant code, created 2 callback numbers for these files. Then when it goes to "callback" the manifests it can't find them.

Comment by Andrew Ryazanoff [ 04/Aug/15 ]

In MCPE-9365 I've attached zip with erroneously created world. Also there are tablet description and some more screenshots.

Comment by Luis Robles [ 04/Aug/15 ]

Anything about "Bad File Number" can be commented here, thanks.

Comment by Ken Przybylak [ 04/Jul/15 ]

I have a Denvar TAD-70111MK2 whit Android 4.4.2 kernel 3.4.0+

Comment by AMAN4700 [ 04/Jul/15 ]

What device are you using?

Comment by Ken Przybylak [ 03/Jul/15 ]

Sorry 1.8GB the other was internal space

Comment by Ken Przybylak [ 03/Jul/15 ]

The storage have 1 GB of free space

Comment by Ken Przybylak [ 03/Jul/15 ]

I have deleted the old vertion and installed 11.1 now it reply
"[WORLD NAME]" can't be opened.
Bad file number

Comment by AMAN4700 [ 03/Jul/15 ]

Does this bug still appear in 0.11.1? If so please respond.
