Crashing with no internet connection with Xbox live account

Hey Team

When signed into Xbox Live and I do NOT have an internet connection (either having WiFi off or just no signal) Minecraft will crash after about 6 seconds at the first menu screen. ("It says Signing into Xbox L" at bottom).

So it wont crash if I have signed out of Xbox live and it wont crash if I have an internet connection.

 

Hope that makes seance, I have tested on multi iPad's and multi Xbox accounts.

 

Thanks
