Update 197.1 - Community Crossplay
Hello, Engineers!
Ever since our initial release of Space Engineers on the Xbox platform, we have worked hard to provide the best Space Engineers experience for everyone, regardless of platform. Today’s release takes us one step closer to bridging the gap between PC and Xbox communities by ensuring that every Space Engineer can build, create, and imagine with friends on their platform of choice.
Update Features
- Added crossplay between PC and Xbox players
- Added Epic Online Services category into PC Join screen server browser (players can switch between steam and EOS there)
- Added mod support to Xbox version (certain restrictions apply)
- Added mod.io support for Dedicated server

Hello, I have been experiencing multiple issues after the latest Update or Hotfix on Xbox One. The first issue that arose was when trying to enter into the games main menu. It would show a black screen and would not reach the loading stage to get to the main menu. Then on rare occasion that I would get to the main menu and into one previous save or new game I would be playing for 2 minutes my game would freeze and on some occasions would crash (For example: one of the freezes would occur when I would save in game) in which the first problem would then ensue and I won't be able to enter the game again. The third issue that occured was when I used the Modio Workshop Blueprint Screen in game which would hold my blueprints as well as should have blueprints from other creators which were downloaded but after the newest hotfix or update those "downloaded blueprints" became nonexistent and has stayed that way since. If you can fix these issues ASAP that would be amazing because this is my favorite game and I haven't been able to play it for the past 3 weeks and it has put a dent in my enjoyment of the games features I miss playing it in my down time and it would mean the world to me and the rest of the Xbox players experiencing these issues to have them fixed ASAP so that we could enjoy this awesome game again.
