We have pushed the update, so it should be showing up on your Xbox soon. Microsoft controls release, and it isn’t instant for everyone (especially outside the US). So if you don’t get the download immediately, just hang tight.. it will show up soon! Please share this and get your friends playing…
Thanks to all of you for playing!
XenoMiner Version 1.4 Release Notes
Important:
When you first load up an old world there may be a delay as it changes over to our new format for saving. The more changes you have in your world, the longer this could take. This should only be in the first load, subsequent loads should be faster.
Auto Saves should be faster, but please let us know if you see any problems.
