Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • KJGruca KG (@KJGruca) reported

    @dignified_space @SeaOfThieves You completely contradicted yourself there. So you're saying they took a reward that was previously PvEvP... and expanded it so it's only accessible by way of PvP. That's my issue. For the first time in over four years, they're forcing a playstyle on their users.

  • lofilouie69 Louie (@lofilouie69) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Is anyone having trouble firing their cannons like they won’t shoot out

  • ekul_1021 Monkey Island Ship Harbor (@ekul_1021) reported

    @TippToppHansiI @SeaOfThieves Maybe their ship's steering got broken?

  • BrentnallMax Max Brentnall (@BrentnallMax) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I’ve got this glitch when if I die and my ship sinks i infinitely load.

  • NatoGamerTV Dan Natoli (@NatoGamerTV) reported

    Unfortunately only a short stream this evening, few tech issues to sort out as usual, but hoping to stream some more over the course of the season on @SeaOfThieves. A spicy update for sure!

  • LaSofiReborn Zofyark 🎃 #TeamFlameheart ❤️‍🔥 (@LaSofiReborn) reported

    @ZackAmor1 @SeaOfThieves Lol Let me enjoy the game the way I want. Its not like I broke progression and I tagged them so they know how I did access and fix it

  • Silentx_Rage5 SilentxRage5 (@Silentx_Rage5) reported

    @CMPUNKNEXUS100 @SeaOfThieves Yeah, it's completely ***. If pvp is forced then they need to fix the garbage hit reg.

  • smelvindingled smelvin (@smelvindingled) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX YOUR DOGSHIT HIT REG

  • InkyGhosts Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    @KJGruca @dignified_space @SeaOfThieves You say that like this is the first time they've had PvP exclusive cosmetics. You forget about all of the arena stuff and the headwear you get from selling broken emissary flags to Reapers. If you don't want to PvP then don't PvP, but don't expect to be able to get the rewards.

  • datapope Dr.hc. Datenpapst (@datapope) reported

    @LaSofiReborn @SeaOfThieves Guess they will fix that soon.

  • Miketaur1 Miketaur (@Miketaur1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves having issues with being able to load my ship, anyone else?

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @bootycup_ @JVASHDRAGONGRT @SeaOfThieves I was wrong about what? I never said the game is without bugs, or runs smoothly, i simply disagree that its totally broken and horrible, but you act like i have said it has no flaws.

  • lofilouie69 Louie (@lofilouie69) reported

    @BrendenStokkel1 @SeaOfThieves You can stink your ship to fix it

  • AlphaWolf1679 AlphaWolf (@AlphaWolf1679) reported

    @SmithyBug @Chrisi4210 @SeaOfThieves Cause in all those hours i havent seen a single time that hit reg existed and tbh if you have then thats a you problem ive not seen it happen so its honestly just a ****** excuse

  • Fridericusfvd #teamflameheart ❤️‍🔥 (@Fridericusfvd) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the chainshots pls. We shot four on the mast and it did not went down.

  • BradyConal Conal Brady (@BradyConal) reported

    @SeaOfThieves LOVING the update, only issue is when you come out of the water your WAY to close to the opposing ship, you both start turning and it becomes whoever is first to the cannon to hit a chain shot under the pressure of being so close, please have us spawn the edges of the circle.

  • UpsetPickle HomiePicks (@UpsetPickle) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I keep getting bugs and lagging out, it's really annoying and then all the sudden, the servers went down, i can't join my boat back it and none of my teammates can, it keeps saying marblebeard

  • LT_Robinson25 LT Robinson25 (@LT_Robinson25) reported

    @DerekCo53493744 @SeaOfThieves Hate to burst your bubble we have been aggressively trying to get them to address theses issues for four years still waiting.

  • Stiphonufis Stephen (@Stiphonufis) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your new dogshit pvp mode. Also, can you give us accurate matchmaking times and let us know we have to wait hours for a game rather than display a misleading 4-6 minute wait time so I know to get ******** off the game and wait for next season to try and play.

  • VoodooSCOOP ♛SCOOP♛ (@VoodooSCOOP) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i was just stuck on a loading screen for twelve minutes in a fight causing me to sink, this has been a constant issue for months please do something about it

  • Slappy202TV Slappy (@Slappy202TV) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the ****** rubber banding

  • InkyGhosts Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    An issue I have with the new #SeaOfThieves season is how after when you lose a battle you get a screen showing your ship floating in pieces. I don't see newer player's being motivated to use this new matchmaking system to learn PvP when the game rubs every loss in their faces.

  • WhenDidRadioKi1 WhenDidRadioKillCod King (@WhenDidRadioKi1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Getting a Lavender beard error... are servers down?

  • Richard74765122 rich (@Richard74765122) reported

    @OrlandoGriffoni @Dylan_Peace_ @SeaOfThieves Yeah that’s if you even find people with your skill level because this false advertising of skill based matches is not working

  • GREENRA56347271 GREEN RANGER (@GREENRA56347271) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How do we know if matchmaking works in such a broken game?

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @AlphaWolf1679 @Chrisi4210 @SeaOfThieves My guy, personal incredulity isnt an excuse, in fact it is a flaw of logic, but you can literally look up hitreg issues your self, there are cases where a blunder hits point blank, and says it registered, but the person doesnt even die, or 5+ swings with a sword to kill some one.

  • lofilouie69 Louie (@lofilouie69) reported

    @itzpoppyseed @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support You can sink your ship to fix it

  • Maverick_EU Maverick (@Maverick_EU) reported

    @SeaOfThieves not sure if other captains are having the same issue but I’m having some pretty bad black screen load times

  • lolimagoodguy Lolimagoodguy (@lolimagoodguy) reported

    @JnrsaKruger @SeaOfThieves What are you playing on? Because I have this same problem. Everything is fine untill the cannons start firing

  • A_Weird_Fox A Weird Fox (@A_Weird_Fox) reported

    You have broken the game @SeaOfThieves. When I die I can't get back to my ship, when I get the mermaid it puts my back in the shipless island!!and my friends get the eternal black loading screen.
