Works fine, both options you gave work

Interesting, so it seems changing your gamertag broke the xbox live sign in. That's not very robust coding...

You can fix this two ways: 1. change the gamertag back (duh). 2. Disable all network connections on the PC, start up MCPE again (it should start fine), change the gamertag, quit, re-enable network connections and reload the game.

Mojang can fix this... I don't know how, but we'll leave ticket this open so they know.

Can you tell me if, after fixing the options.txt, changing any of the other options to acceptable values still crashes the game? It should not, and if it doesn't we can rename this ticket to be focused on changing gamertag in options.txt crashes the game.

Please attach a copy of the options.txt file so we can have a look.
