BlockWorld v1.5 [Xbox] Availbile now! +Important Notice!
BlockWorld will be having it’s v1.6 update ahead of schedule, to address some serious networking issues with the current Xbox build.
For the purposes of letting you guys know we are already onto this, and fixing it, we shall list the issues below:
1) “Connection Lost” when playing with friends (Rare)
2) Failure to join friend’s worlds (Sometimes)
3) Locking of players when exploring (Sometimes)
There is a fourth issue, exclusive to BlockWorld for Windows 8. In some cases, the trial locks do not engage allowing players to experience everything BlockWorld has to offer without restrictions in Trial mode please keep reading for more information about that odd one.
We have identified the causes of all of these bugs, and working hard on resolving them and aim to have the v1.6 update for Xbox available in just over a week, in early march.
Here is what we have achieved so far in BlockWorld:
1) Network bandwidth consumption has been slashed to 50% of what it is in v1.5. This has a huge impact for new players joining, now avoiding “Lag spikes”
2) Player spawning algorithms replaced, to prevent players spawning within physics system causing players to be booted from game.
3) Region streaming request system has been re-written to prevent “Over-requesting” resulting in players unable to load regions.
4) Windows 8 Trial system is sometimes incorrectly evaluated. BlockWorld, in event of a Trial mode detection error, the Hazzah Engine reverts to allowing the player full access to the game. We prioritize the satisfaction of our customers, even if it is at our own expense.
So if you’ve come here looking for answers, and you have an issue that is not presented here, then please post below. I demand to know more, if there is more, so that BlockWorld can keep getting better.
Also, we’re working on weather support in the Hazzah Engine! So new features are still coming in v1.7 and beyond!

Thankyou very much for reading.
I posted it all here: http://forums.2point0studios.com/showthread.php?2491-Expressing-my-anger on my issues.
Already replied man.
It is this type of service and commitment to customer satisfaction that led me to purchase Blockworld. I play on an Asus Vivotab Smart full Windows 8 tablet and Blockworld works 1000% better than Minecraft, which will not be supporting Windows 8. There is definitely a market among the world of blocks that Blockworld and Craftworld fills, and I might add, it does it beautifully. Keep up the great work and you will definitely have a supporter in me.
Cool, if only all customers were as easy to please as you! We’ve still got a long way to go with many versions unreleased, and lot of updates in the pipeline. We’ve setup a large goal for ourselves, but have broken everything down into nice small chunks, and frequent releases to keep everyone satisfied.
Awesome game…but since the update 1.5..in addition to constant game freeze,playing and loading..haven’t been able to play long,, but also getting fatal save errors.if it ever does load.
Hope it gets resolved soon..like I said Awesome game…..
We’re working on it! We’re focusing on the networking at the moment.
Is miltiplayer in the 1.5 update
Nope, but there is a lot more content.
I love playing block world, it’s so awesome. But, when I bought the game for windows8, I didn’t get the items I was suppose to get. & whenever I pressed x, I get booted back to the main screen(where I pick which games to play). But I will keep on playing the game.
P.S. if I were to keep on going in one direction(while leaving a trail behind) will I end up back at the beginning of the trail. & in the full version of block world for windows8, are there mine carts, mine cart tracks, a bucket of lava, TNT, beds, & blueprints that build stuff for you.
What what? That’s some strange bugs. The block menu causing you to quit…. And there is no wrapping code to repos you if you fly forward. You are suggesting some strange bugs Jacob, I’ll look into them.
CraftWorld has dynamite, buckets, a resurrection stone (to be replaced by a bed in the 2.15 update) and more. Blue prints? What are those? We don’t have minecarts, but we do have dyes and vertical slabs.
My game crashes whenever I try to join a multiplayer game.
That’s either the physics due to the spawning bug, or the network session leftover by a disconnect due to bandwidth consumption.
the v1.6 update fixes all of it.
Hi there, I purchased the full version for Windows 8 several months ago and I have yet to play more than 1 time. I get so far into Blockworld many hours of building & saving the game, every single time I loose all my work achieved to be wiped out because the game will freeze when I go back to play again, the game will open to a blank blue sky and then I am kicked off and never able to go back the game I started. My whole computer will freeze and I am forced to do a hard boot in order to do any thing. I have to uninstall Blockworld then reinstall the game, meanwhile I loose everything I created and have to start all over again.
This is huge for me as I love this game, it is my favorite and I am so frustrated. I will keep trying but hoping that you may have a solution to my problems.
If you need more Information about the problems, please let me know and I will attempt to be more specific.
Thank you so very much for your time, it is truly appreciated.
