[2021] Microsoft Store/Xbox App Patching Issue (aka Error 0xD05E0108)

Hello everyone! We’ve got an update from Project Director Scott Junior on what’s been going on with updating the game from the Xbox App (commonly reported as error “0xD05E0108”):

Hey Exiles,

I wanted to update everyone on a few of the urgent issues we are working on with the Microsoft Store/Xbox App version of the game.

Yesterday we released version 2.4.5 which addressed some certification issues and fixed a client freeze that could happen when teleporting (admin teleport, dying, entering a dungeon, etc). Unfortunately we discovered that the Microsoft Store / Xbox App was giving an error code 0xD05E0108 to anyone that tried to update from 2.4.4 to 2.4.5.

We have been in communication with Microsoft about this issue and we just discovered that it is due to an error in the patching system. This is not something we control and Microsoft has told us they will try to fix it as soon as possible. Until the patching issue is fixed the only way to update to the new version is to uninstall the old version and download the game again.

For our next update (2.4.6) we will need to modify several files to work around the bug with the patching system. Unfortunately this will result in a large patch (estimated to be ~70-80GB).

I apologize for the inconvenience and want to let you know we are doing everything we can to work around these hurdles. I’ll update as soon as we know more from Microsoft.

Thanks,
Scott
