Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • regiuum Regiuum (@regiuum) reported

    @ThyKingKhan @Evaneileous @SeaOfThieves They only play sea of thieves because they get significantly less viewers on other games. The creators that don’t suck up to rare don’t even get partner and will receive yellow beards for siding with certain people on an issue.

  • noob76052507 oxynatOr (@noob76052507) reported

    @TurkishZombieL @SeaOfThieves and just FYI: its now listed under Issues... after they had time read the bug report i send them...

  • YarnoKuipers Yarno Kuipers (Captain Bonus Bill) (@YarnoKuipers) reported

    @PixxyDoll @SeaOfThieves That's not a glitch, it's just my chemical experiment that fails every time XD

  • LukasReide Lukas.Reide (@LukasReide) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I am having trouble connecting to the server, always getting the „Lavenderbeard“ error. Are you currently doing some maintenance or is it my side?

  • OuterGoose3210 Davy Jones (@OuterGoose3210) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves That has always been an issue. Why are people starting to report it now?

  • skullbeard28 skullbeard28 (@skullbeard28) reported

    Gosh I remember when #SeaOfThieves came out and it had the same problem as #HaloInfinite ... not enough stuff but the core was solid. Look at it now! Be patient my friends.

  • ScholarofAbyss Scholar of the Abyss (@ScholarofAbyss) reported

    @SeaOfThieves After I tried to explain about the cutscene the Souls Crew asked me for the promised loot...but here's the problem. My loot sank with my ship during the fight and the ferry of the damned crew took the ghost loot and left during the mask fight so I did the only thing I can do 14/?

  • Pharaoh_Rising Pharaoh Rising (@Pharaoh_Rising) reported

    @Dragonflame1090 @SeaOfThieves Well one problem is distrust. I’ve been playing since beta and I don’t trust other ships. But I stayed when others came, then they started griefing and sinking. We escaped, but several times just puts you down. No story in any game should force you to have others. Esp PvP games!!

  • CaptnMexico CaptnSota (@CaptnMexico) reported

    @AT0MAC @SeaOfThieves I see no problems here

  • LaurenGallaway Lauren ✨ Galaxy (@LaurenGallaway) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Mine is very broken, Belle gives me no options. Hearing other people are having this problem too 😞

  • blackmoonrose13 Cat (Commissions Open) (@blackmoonrose13) reported

    Does anyone ever have an issue where a game is no longer fun for you because of try hards? Or like you can't casually enjoy a game if it has some pvp aspect to it? Because that is what sea of thieves is slowly turning into for me #SeaOfThieves

  • TossingWaffles Stephen (@TossingWaffles) reported

    @PixxyDoll @SeaOfThieves I hate that glitch. It makes me want to go make blue raspberry jello and I can't I'm sailing. And it's not like I can just keep blue raspberry jello constantly on hand so it's like already ready already.

  • vinicius_durden Vinícius Decassi (@vinicius_durden) reported

    @SeaOfThieves please fix the Shrouded deep quest, we are not able to continue it because the option to continue the story does not appear. and when this option appears, there is a bug with Belle's animation and the trigger is not activated. Time is running out and we just want to finish. Pls

  • DutchGlaswegian The Dutch Glaswegian (@DutchGlaswegian) reported

  • ScholarofAbyss Scholar of the Abyss (@ScholarofAbyss) reported

  • DiscoJacen Disco (@DiscoJacen) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Not able to do it because of the 5 man requirement as we never play with more than 2 friends and don't have time to wait for pugs and get ganked regardless And ofc be belittled when trying to talk about it by the "your problem" or "*** gud" trolls as usual.

  • CowboyDaddy333 cowboy (@CowboyDaddy333) reported

  • 7yphon 7yphon (@7yphon) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves I still love the game, but as of late im not logging on due to some of the issues which really affect my enjoyment.

  • TurkishZombieL Turkish J. Zombie (@TurkishZombieL) reported

    @noob76052507 @SeaOfThieves well, no one else is having this problem sooo... probably something on your end.

  • joehelmer87 Joakim Helmersson (@joehelmer87) reported

    @ActivistGamer @CGallerine @SeaOfThieves I got grade 5 before finishing the voyage after the fix.

  • SnakeOfLordran Snake (@SnakeOfLordran) reported

    @SeaOfThieves WE DONT CARE ABOUT MORE TRASH CONTENT. FIX. THE. *******. SERVERS.

  • ghostboy20 Matthew 👻 (@ghostboy20) reported

    @ODIN_XBOX @SeaOfThieves They are trying to look into hitscan to fix the hitreg, which may not happen for all we know

  • SnakeOfLordran Snake (@SnakeOfLordran) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX. THE. *******. SERVERS.

  • ThyKingKhan ThyKingKhan 👑 (@ThyKingKhan) reported

    @regiuum @SeaOfThieves What kind of "actual content" update you want then? Give recommendations because they have been doing a great job adding to the game. Not their problem you don't like the lore. Updates have been great. It's a sandbox game, if you ain't having fun with it that's a you problem.

  • TearyAmoeba Stephen Ehler (@TearyAmoeba) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Well... we were about to start it with a gally of friends, a brig, and a sloop. Then my gf @llVallkyriell had her internet crash for like 20 minutes. One on the brig was REALLY impatient and spamming texts "Let's GOOO" nonstop and trying to start it. Eventually I lost patience...

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support struggling to join a crew or solo. And getting the AlabasterBeard error when signing in 😭#SeaOfThieves
