  • hellonerf Stephen (@hellonerf) reported

    @SeaOfThieves On the subject of invincible players, They say hit reg, It's problems with the game and not cheaters. Ok then why am I NEVER the guy that can take over a dozen sword slices. Why are they never the ones that get frozen, unable to load cannons, eat or sword lunge straight?

  • Mrs480 Mrs480 (@Mrs480) reported

    @anarcho_goblin @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I had a small windows update that seemed to fix it ... So much time spent troubleshooting that Rare should have tested during QA but whatever

  • tartansnake Tartansnake (@tartansnake) reported

    @PersonalC0ffee @COTSGame @SeaOfThieves Same, I worked out the solution but not how to enter it. Was pretty much trial and error to pass that bit. I replayed to get the achievements but still not 100% after reading a walkthrough 🥴

  • SkelaBro Sans_The_Skela_Bro (@SkelaBro) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves It only seems to happen when 3 people are in one boat. That's my case. Rather I crash or my friend crashes

    @MarkSangster9 @SeaOfThieves I’m on PC and having major problems lots of glitching crashing and it’s basically unplayable.

  • Moddestroyer555 mods (@Moddestroyer555) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I load into the game walk a few steps then crash

  • DarbyGlizzy DarkOrder#22 (@DarbyGlizzy) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Do you guys even test your content updates? Or any update? This game has more bugs than it has water. I love doing a whole Athena and then right after I dig it up then we wanna crash 7 times within 10 minutes. And you wonder why no one plays this ****** *** game. Hmm I wonder.

  • awadawaaaa Joe PEarce (@awadawaaaa) reported

    yo @SeaOfThieves me and my friend both cant rejoin our crew with 3 stacked FoTD bc both of our games keeps crashing as soon as we load up, fix the game man thats like 700K :*(

  • Thatcowboy13 Brice Moody (@Thatcowboy13) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves 5 hours and a game breaking bug? I know you guys are way better than this @RareLtd please fix this for purely cosmetic update? This is unreal, I already dropped real money on the emporium and I can’t even enjoy the game long enough to see it

  • Kiba845 Kiba (@Kiba845) reported

    @SeaOfThieves New patch seems bad! No issues with game crashing before, but it's crashed 3 times already. Each time less than a minute in game. I have the game through Steam and have run file integrity checks. I have a friend who has it on the Microsoft store, same issue.

  • bracht Fabio (@bracht) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Yesterday I had a weird problem with ship steering. The frame rate dropped ridiculously low (I believe all the way into single digits) every time the wheel hit the mid-point where the ship is straight.

  • SoTCommunity Sea of Thieves Community (@SoTCommunity) reported

    For all of those having issues with @SeaOfThieves crashing, what ships where you trying to load in to when it happened?

  • Peytoncc21 Peyton Collins (@Peytoncc21) reported

    @anarcho_goblin @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I just tried reinstalling and it didn’t fix it for me, others have said it’s worked though.

  • coolpizzle iCoolp (@coolpizzle) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Kept having an odd crashing issue ; Would rejoin a ship me and a friends were on in the Devils Ridge, kept stuttering and crashing quickly after about a minute of being spawned into the map. Another friend had this issue.

  • anarcho_goblin 🚬🍄haydn🍄🚬 (@anarcho_goblin) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves literally can’t get into a game since the update, just keep crashing since loading in. was considering reinstalling but if this is a common issue that probably won’t fix anything

  • klay_hive Wiseman Island (@klay_hive) reported

    @jea20014000 @SeaOfThieves Same. No problems with crashing until this update
