So, due to the fact that pistons disappear for a second sometimes when they move, alot of things cant be built on 360. I just built a huge zipper elevator only to find that this bug prevents it from functioning. Does anyone know is 4J is working on fixing this? It's a pretty serious problem, and I feel like we are going to just have to deal with it forever. That would be a shame, because it makes pistons almost useless. Except for building silly little doors and stuff. Any word on a fix?

There is a bug fix that is due out literally any day now that fixes this and many other piston related bugs.

- Fix for a crash with pistons at the edge of the world
- Fix for a crash due to a thread safety issue usually caused by pistons
- Fix for issue with operating pistons on chunk boundaries
- Fix for a rendering flicker with active pistons
- Fix for rendering slowdown due to lighting issues
- Fix for rain going through blocks (raining indoors)
- Fix for Marketplace not launching when unlocking skin pack after selecting a locked skin in the trial version of the skin pack
- Fix for bug allowing locked skins to be selected if they are beside a free skin
- Fix for misaligned player scores when viewed under the "My Score" leaderboard filter
- Fix for the constant button press sounds when rotating a character in the skin select screen
- Fix for the constant sound effect played on the sign text entry
- Fix for thunder not being audible

OMG I hope it works, that would be outstanding.

I've also build a zipper elevator in my world, and it does function, but due to glitches, half the time you will not make it all the way up and will fall the length of the elevator.
