why does minecraft on the 360 sign me offline when i start to play it?????
please help
thx

You canceled the Xbox Live Update. Go back to the dashboard, and this time click "Download" on the update.

where on the dashboard???

You just have to restart Minecraft. Then it will pop up.

Yup. Hes right

when i restart minecraft it still doesnt work???????????????
.

Are you connected to Xbox Live when you are at the dashboard? (As in, can see friends online, etc)

As soon as you go into Minecraft, does it go offline, but you stay signed into your profile?

Please answer my questions thoroughly.

yes everything you said is what is happeningsooooooo????

It just did it to me i just signed back in and it worked.

nothing pop up for me
this is getting me so mad!!!!!!is there anything i can do?????

You are barely answering my questions. When you go back into Minecraft, does nothing happen besides the game starts and you get knocked into offline mode?

yes that is what happends nothing else happen besides the menu pops up

it doesnt say that there is an update tho...

So what happens when you try to connect to Live then? Do you connect?

I have exactly the same problem. Created this forum account just for this issue. Here's what happens:

1) I start my console and sign in using my Live-enabled gamertag. It successfully connects to Live (can see my Friends, etc)
2) I boot up Minecraft
3) Main menu comes up, I select New Game
4) I see a popup that is a standard XBox-style message saying "Gamer Profile Not Online" at the top. The white box portion says, "This game has some features that require an XBox Live enable gamer profile, but you are currently offline." There are two selections at the bottom - "Connect to XBox Live" and "Continue Playing offline".
5) If I select "Connect to XBox Live" it opens the standard XBox profiles login list, which doesn't contain my Live-enabled profile because I'm already signed in with that profile.
6) If I exit out of the game to the console dashboard, I find that the console shows me as signed in to my Live-enabled gamertag, but I'm Offline.

And yes, I did download the update immediately after downloading the game and it worked without errors. I called XBox Live customer support to see if they had seen this issue. The support tech had me delete the game from the harddrive, clear the system cache, restart the console, re-download the game, start it up, apply the update and try again. It still failed in the same way.

When I sign in to another Live-enabled gamertag on the console (my son's) the problem isn't there. Only with my gamertag.

I'm going to copy and paste this description into the 360 Version Bug thread.

I have a solution. Turns out that somehow my profile became corrupted. Based in this happening to someone else and that it happened with me after attempting to go from the Minecraft demo to the full version, I suspect something in that process is what caused this.

You have to delete your profile from your 360 and go through the Account Recovery process to re-download it to your console. I just did this and now my profile is working and Minecraft is starting up successfully.
