    @GunnarRhoads @SeaOfThieves On pc? Ive had to manually update via the microsoft store to solve this issue in the past. Hope this helps!

  • Bravox808 Bravox808 (@Bravox808) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves isn't that what Arena is for? Constant PvP and to prove they are the better pirate. Alot of new players and some old ones have issues with pvp players when they are just running tall tales even with the checkpoints it doesn't help some of them.

  • ItsPrentissYall Prentiss (@ItsPrentissYall) reported

    @GetJackedUpTV @SeaOfThieves I mean there are different variations of the ship that are purely cosmetic. I think we need to focus on core mechanics first....the game is very very broken right now lol.

  • GetJackedUpTV Jack Power (@GetJackedUpTV) reported

    @ItsPrentissYall @SeaOfThieves Broken in what way?

  • 1rebmunynroH 1ynroH (@1rebmunynroH) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so I got sea of thieves on steam to play, it appears I can’t talk with anyone and they can’t talk to me, is there a fix to this

  • KingMyro Hunkulees (@KingMyro) reported

    @TTVWIIDED3652 @SeaOfThieves Oh I do? Damn, my bad. No idea how that happened. let me go fix that real quick

  • Director_X_ Dr. David (@Director_X_) reported

    @SlooperSolo @CaptainAlex773 @SeaOfThieves Yeah, makes sense then, I guess. So long as it doesn’t screw up server density, I wouldn’t have a problem with it.

  • CourtneyMcmahon Courtney McMahon (@CourtneyMcmahon) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Could my game stop lagging me out please! My wifi is fine

  • Your_Hero_420 Michael Liebau (@Your_Hero_420) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the game you ******* cucks my **** is getting worse by the minute

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Blaze05620151 @ThomasLehpamer @SeaOfThieves Arena didn't crash and burn, its still there. The problem it had was the toxic pvp crowd. No reason to assume that a pve mode would suffer the same issues because its not for those players.

  • Phantaxus Phantaxus 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@Phantaxus) reported

    @Taaaaamas @SeaOfThieves I think the issue was that the reward was uninspiring. A single Ritual skull

  • Wowismm Woww (@Wowismm) reported

    @GunnarRhoads @SeaOfThieves the only thing i can see as a potential fix now is to uninstall and reinstall, and check the microsoft store for updates again.

  • Intense0001 Intense (@Intense0001) reported

  • Zerosiini Zerosiini (@Zerosiini) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I used to love this game but on my new PC, the game simply refuses to launch. I feel like I have tried everything except for reinstalling Windows. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

  • Insider24134896 Insider (@Insider24134896) reported

    @TCP_NP_DREW @killzone1401 @SeaOfThieves So your mentality is to not play the game and hope rare somehow gets feedback about errors if no one plays? What a dumb thing to do

  • demonic135 Duckiexe (@demonic135) reported

    @SeaOfThieves We don't want new events... All we want is for hit reg issues to be fixed.

  • TCP_NP_DREW NizzlePrizzle (@TCP_NP_DREW) reported

    @killzone1401 @SeaOfThieves You have to play to give them data to fix the game.

  • GiveMeATug A ***** Turban (@GiveMeATug) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I don't know if you guy's are aware of server stability issues but it's been happening for a solid month now. Im not the only person with this issue so hopefully in 2 days you guy's can adress this aswell.

  • killzone1401 Killzone1401 (@killzone1401) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I recommend people to just not play the first week, it’s always broken the first few days.

  • EvilMorpheus Michael R O'Rourke (@EvilMorpheus) reported

    @HLariash @Taaaaamas @SeaOfThieves I found that if two crews were doing the same mission that would happen. I think the fix that at some point.

  • korny46 k46sleepwalker (@korny46) reported

    @SoTFest @SeaOfThieves Well I honestly don't mind my ticket money going towards the raffle and I buy another ticket next year. But if it causes issues for you guys I will leave my ticket until next year :)

  • TheRealLokii Kingslayer (@TheRealLokii) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can yall fix my game? Haven't been able to launch it since the Plunderpass released. Did everything on the forums and nothing worked.

  • UG_SIRFREE 썰프리 (@UG_SIRFREE) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix this game bug You don't fix bugs for a long time. Hit error, error that does not take damage even if you hit the enemy with a weapon, please... If you still can't fix this error, can you say that the game design is wrong? If you don't have the ability, call another developer
