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.

So people are reporting issues yet no-one points out the fact that their Leaderboards have failed to update since 18th April? Yup that's right, check yours and you'll find the same.

How do you check that ?

Yes I noticed they weren't updating, uninstalled and re-installed and everything was blank. Since then I've disabled the hack. The last time mine actually had updated was 17th April.

DaninMS if you have Scheduled Task Logs enabled for the cronjob check in your AdminCP > Scheduled Tasks > Scheduled Task Logs.

No there's an easier way to check. go to the leaderboard and hover the cursor over any of the scores. It should say the date and time last updated.

Microsoft updated the gamercard code a little bit several days ago. It includes a lot more information, including bio, location, achievements info for each game, but doesn't show any of it on the cards without looking at the source code.

So is it possible to get it working? Is there anything we can do to help sort it?

Unlikely, without a code update. Mine hasn't been working either - my users notified me of it.

Yes the gamercards have changed a bit. Working on this atm.
