Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 3CFire Fire (@3CFire) reported

    @SeaOfThieves So essential, you took down the game twice without fixing the issue.

  • MmmmmSammich Sammich mmmmm (@MmmmmSammich) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support How hard is it to give an hour warning to take servers down? This is why I do not invest in this game. I don't trust the Sea of Thieves team. Schedule maintenance and a warning before emergency fixes seems prudent to me.

  • Agent_Trick Patrick (@Agent_Trick) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Next can you fix the bug that resets ship cosmetics? I've lost count of how much gold I've spent saving them over and over. Thanks!

  • SAM58654303 NPL (@SAM58654303) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Really? It was impossible to fix the first time?

  • GreatTweetJohn Great Tweets By John (@GreatTweetJohn) reported

    @Almondschoice @SeaOfThieves They’ve said multiple times it’s a known issue and not to spend gold on it until they have a fix. So… stop spending gold on it until there’s a fix.

  • Flytoy Christopher Olson (@Flytoy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I am reading all these problems others are having yet I don't have any of those problems. SOT runs really well for me. I have had a couple of times it wont load and had to uninstall/reinstall. Awesome game.

  • vicer96 Victor (@vicer96) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You also need to fix so the boat cosmetics saves we have had to pay for that over and over and over again I'm up on 50k now

  • DouglasParkins8 Douglas. (@DouglasParkins8) reported

    @TheGamerDE6 @SeaOfThieves think is tho fixing things requires A)knowing what things are broken B)having people in work who can fix things (fixes only in work hours) C) spending time fixing them. D)not having to divert the team to working on dealing with people with zero knowledge complaining on twitter.

  • _GhostAdmiral Ghost Admiral (@_GhostAdmiral) reported

    @EGGamer_ @SeaOfThieves Yeah interesting that. I've only ever had a 10 minute. Anyways, it is what it is. Glad a fix is being implemented either way! Although right now there's no message in the main menu either

  • Evilslither1 cpt teach (@Evilslither1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I was solo on my own sloop Then the game say the capitain left the crew even if i am the capitain of my ship and i never left i did not Losse anything except for the milestone i was Working for is that gonna be fix to? (capitain leaving the Crew event if he dont)

  • juntjuh René (@juntjuh) reported

    @duggyuk @SeaOfThieves Oh really? Explain to me how they fixed their server instability wich has been an issue since way before season 7 and only got worse now. So glad they fixed it. Or the inventory glitches. Or the blackscreens. You want me to keep going?

  • Subsonic_tv Subsonic (@Subsonic_tv) reported

    @SeaOfThieves any plans to fix the bugged path on the Spanish forts where you get stuck on thin air and harpoons don't work properly?

  • duggyuk Jason Holland (@duggyuk) reported

    @juntjuh @SeaOfThieves Nope never encountered it, only bug I’ve encountered was my ship doing a random backflip. Which I hope they never fix that as that was entertaining as hell! That’s with every video game. I can name 50 games that still have day 1 bugs and been out for years.

  • gnarvin gnarvin (@gnarvin) reported

    @TheGamerDE6 @SeaOfThieves You think they can just magically fix everything? Like they are choosing only to implement it one bug at a time just because?

  • juntjuh René (@juntjuh) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Are you guys ffing hitting me?? Is this an everyday occurence now? I'm about to just quit the game. You are showing why the numbers of people playing are dropping for you. Bugs are there for 6 months and yet everyday you drop a fix but fixing nothing

  • duggyuk Jason Holland (@duggyuk) reported

    @MileZero31 @juntjuh @SeaOfThieves I’ve also encountered where many of them freeze, and I’m still playing. Especially when it comes to over looting the shop and they either crash or stutter everywhere yet I’m moving alright.

  • TheGamerDE6 The Gamer DE (@TheGamerDE6) reported

    @SeaOfThieves jesus christ, do 1 long maintence where u fix everything.

  • _GhostAdmiral Ghost Admiral (@_GhostAdmiral) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Guys come on. Really. I LOVE fixes don't get me wrong. However, I think at this point we need some compensation. Love you guys, will always take a fix, but 2 short notices... C'mon

  • IIMikezII Michael Lloyd (@IIMikezII) reported

    @vicer96 @SeaOfThieves Novel idea here, stop paying to save cosmetics until the team let you know it's fixed? It's been made clear that they already know about it and are working on a fix. If you keep spending gold on a well documented known issue expecting it to just magically work, that's on you.

  • AxxeLote AxxeL (@AxxeLote) reported

    @smarioplayer200 @SeaOfThieves The game is constantly evolving. It is normal for errors to come and go. Stop rushing, developers deserve respect and rest.

  • Lutscher_XD Lutscher (@Lutscher_XD) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Another thing to fix, I was watching a streamer earlier and he had a notification that the "Captain left". He was the captain. He couldn't turn in his own loot.

  • realraphi1 Raphael Breidenbach (@realraphi1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Tbh, i'm not too excited about that fix, i'm more excited about what's broken after that fix 😶

  • imperiumsky Imperium Sky ☄️ (@imperiumsky) reported

    @ECWFAN5 @GreatTweetJohn @SeaOfThieves Well except for the part where this literally was noted to be an issue in the LAST fix two days ago. And in the one before it. If it was new, sure. But they’ve said multiple times it was fixed 🫠

  • AlactarGaming Alactar (@AlactarGaming) reported

    @_GhostAdmiral @EGGamer_ @SeaOfThieves better than keeping a broken game tho

  • KosmoNate The Great Nate  (@KosmoNate) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Mango_Puffs Still no sword fix?

  • ECWFAN5 Rocco! (@ECWFAN5) reported

    @GreatTweetJohn @SeaOfThieves Seriously! They get so much hate for trying to fix stuff!

  • Vortexsh3dding Mike vdw (@Vortexsh3dding) reported

    @retrogeekman @SeaOfThieves What's broken about it?

  • resistlucifer Peter Edwardson 🏳️🏴 (@resistlucifer) reported

    @DylanVersen @SeaOfThieves Yep, that's the problem with doing dodgy stuff, you're always expecting karma to hit.

  • _GhostAdmiral Ghost Admiral (@_GhostAdmiral) reported

    @EGGamer_ @SeaOfThieves Yeah interesting that. I've only ever had a 10 minute. Anyways, it is what it is. Glad a fix is being implemented either way!

  • Almondschoice Almondschoice (@Almondschoice) reported
