The LEGO 60420 Glitch That Broke the Game (And How to Fix It) is blowing up US TikTok and Reddit again. Players keep hitting the same crash after update 2.6.
The LEGO 60420 Glitch That Broke the Game (And How to Fix It) is/are a menu loop and soft lock on City+Ocean world builds. Studies indicate it corrupts quick-save slots. Research shows level geometry triggers it when two ocean tiles meet a road. Fixes reset the island or reload an earlier save.
Why this happens right now
Patch notes rarely explain world-breaking bugs. This time, mod tools exposed the trigger fast. Streamers amplified the chaos, driving US search volume up.
Simple solution
Delete the current world and start a new one.
Why does soft locking hit some builds only?
The bug needs specific tile combos and build menu timing to corrupt memory.
Can a cloud backup still save my world?
Cloud often stores the broken state. Switch to a local backup instead.
