How to fix minecraft bedrock unable to locate game files

Hello! My name is Mostafa, and I will try my best to assist you with this so that you find a satisfactory solution.

I’m sorry that you are experiencing this issue. The error message "Unable to locate game files" in Minecraft Bedrock usually means that the game files are missing or moved.

Please follow the steps below:

1. heck if the game files are still in their original location. The default location for Minecraft Bedrock Edition on Windows is %localappdata%\\Packages\\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\\LocalState\\games\\com.mojang .

If the game files are not in their original location, try moving them back to their original location.

2. Ensure that both the Xbox App and Minecraft Bedrock are up to date. Check for updates in the Microsoft Store, Xbox App, and in-game.

3. If you still get the error message, try uninstalling and reinstalling Minecraft Bedrock Edition.

I hope the above steps helped you. In case of additional questions, reach out back to me, and I will be happy to help and try my best to resolve your issue. Thank you.

Best,

Mostafa

I've reinstalled it many times but still the file isn't there and when installing/downloading there's no problem. the problem is when i open bedrock minecraft it closes and there is an error saying "unable to locate game"

Hi, How are you? I am Alan. I will be happy to assist you today. I appreciate your contact!

Let's check the integrity of the game files open the Microsoft Store, click on the three dots in the upper right corner and go to "My apps and games", Find Minecraft Bedrock in the list, right click and select "Advanced options". Click "Check file integrity" or "Restore". This will prompt the Microsoft Store to check and replace any corrupt or missing files.

Another thing you can try, uninstall Minecraft Bedrock completely, restart your PC. Go to the Microsoft Store and download Minecraft Bedrock again. Make sure the download and installation completes without interruption.

Make sure your Windows is fully updated. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for available updates.

Update your graphics card drivers. Go to your GPU manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) and download the latest version of the drivers.

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.

Best,

Alan
