Hi @picklertune!

I’ve merged your topic into another one about the same issue that has more votes, so that we can keep all responses to this issue together and importantly so votes don’t get split between the two. Feel free to continue the discussion over on that thread.

Checking for Updates Screen - Stuck

Brief description of the issue: via the MS store, updated to 1.15.7, when restarting the game I’m now getting stuck on the Checking For Updates screen. Recently re-installed the whole game, so it’s pretty much a fresh install, ie: There is nothing in the community folder. Any tips? Thx.
