Support
[hr]-[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

The cron runs every minute but the miner does not contact xbox servers every minute. There are internal timers in the script that will only allow one gamercard to be updated per day and they are spread out over the course of the day. The cron running every minute is to ensure that all gamercards are updated throughout the day, increasing the time will only make it fetch more cards when it does check.

Seems like the fix didn't work too long, I'm once again having problems with gamertags disappearing off the leaderboard.
