Frequently asked questions
How do I move Mahjong progress to a new PC?
Sign in with the same Xbox account and let stats sync, then verify on the new PC. Custom tile backgrounds need re-adding by hand. Settings rebuild fast and need no backup.
Do daily Mahjong boards need backup?
Daily boards expire on their own schedule regardless of copies. The package folder holds settings while Xbox Live holds stats. Reinstalls pull cloud progress back on sign in.
