Minecraft For Windows Update has made me quit my favorite game. Four year survival world WIPED for no reason

[/u/lloydgodofvoid]

So, they changed the whole app, made it something different. I noticed my shortcut wasn't working anymore. I found the app, opened it, and found the lovely surprise of my 4 year survival world being completely gone. No, it's not in the files. The program allocated the same data cells in the SSD, which belonged to the world, to be part of the update, effectively permanently and unrecoverably erasing the world. The game erased it due to their vibrantV update. It also erased my paid RTX for Bedrock pack, but I could get that back by contacting the creator, no doubt. The whole app now takes MINUTES to open, and I just can't deal with this. It was a 700 day world, filled with survival builds, beautiful mansions on mountaintops and fortresses deep within the nether. I have 100% achievements and about 80% were earned on that world. The update was not exclusive to killing RTX worlds, but literally ALL of my worlds (even those on the default texture pack/settings). I was able to recover one world, which was just not shown due to a name issue, which seems to have coincidentally been my only world where I was playing with vibrant visuals.

And yes, I have a lovely pc, so it's not just a bugrock edition moment. I did NOT mod or alter the bedrock edition's program, only using the approved import feature to get my texture packs.

These useless changes have only caused harm. Who actually benefited from the change to the Minecraft for Windows app? By the way, it was properly installed using the Minecraft launcher.

Thanks for listening to the rant, and if this happened to you, I'd like to hear about it.
