Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • EliteSheepers Sheepers (@EliteSheepers) reported

    Test stream went great today wasn’t getting 200 ping on @SeaOfThieves. So I fixed that issue. Main stream will be in a couple of hours.

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Turning a blind eye to the issue overall and allowing this company to keep getting away with this stuff is going to damage the long term health of the game, so having a handful of random players be able to actually log in on a certain week end every season is seriously bad news

  • paulB1210_ PoloLesBretelles (@paulB1210_) reported

    @SoT_Support just 9 hours for a server problem... one day we'll all get drunk and overnight everyone will leave, don't be shocked because your game is good but there's nothing behind it @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

  • TheCatemis Catemis (@TheCatemis) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves are the servers down again?? I am getting Marblebeard all of sudden and got kicked out??

  • DessinPatroni Patroni 2 (@DessinPatroni) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Make it not crash on my pc

  • Wayward_Snake The Fuckster (@Wayward_Snake) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can't afford to fix the server but you bet your sweet bippy they can afford to make new Pirate Emporium cosmetics every month!

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves Most recent newsletter was a huge disappointment. Poking fun at the server issues and ongoing outages by trying to make light fun with beards. Didn't think it was funny.

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Joking about server issues... it's a real shame you guys aren't taking these matters seriously.

  • CaranAWorld CaranA (@CaranAWorld) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Hey guys, Arena servers are broken again. Stuck on Searching the Seas. Adventure loads in fine, but yea, I'd like to be able to grind that last month out so maybe...someone with a wrench nearby?

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Out of everything you took that... Personally I'm quite active whether or not I'm playing the game so it wasn't an issue to me, but the amount of people that aren't active and didn't know beforehand or don't have easy access to twitter on demand... yikes

  • GingerJeffers11 GingerJefferson (@GingerJeffers11) reported

    @CrewMisfortune @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I think would be a cool idea for example expanding in this would be the random skeletons in the world would now start to have various beards in relation to the beard errors This could also become a fun commendation to find them all and it could also help the understanding of them

  • DiscoCokkroach DiscoCokkroach (@DiscoCokkroach) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The Venom Chest would have to drain your life REALLY FAST in order to make it worth the trouble. And the Cannon Chest would obviously be able to hit your own ship if you weren't careful.

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves Assisting Rare in this case throughout the other comments on the post isn't helping anyone. Sure SOME people got in, but the issue was dragged on for the entire weekend ruining it for those who didn't know what was even going on. I like to be on Rares side too but this is absurd

  • snable_rick Snable Rick (@snable_rick) reported

    @tweetsandtums @Wayward_Snake @SeaOfThieves Your answers prove that you really have to grow up. You probably don't even know how hard It can be to troubleshoot such a problem. Many other game devs wouldn't even care about fixing the problem during the weekend. It doesn't crash every week, this Is the second time in a row.

  • Bear_Festival Bear Festival (3D Vtuber Commissions Open) (@Bear_Festival) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can we read this article on a Sunday or will the site crash?

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Wow way to make jokes about the ongoing server issues. No mention of investingating or addressing the server issues let's just poke fun at the whole situatuon by mentioning beards. @RareLtd you guys need to do better by the Community enough beating around the bush.

  • DeraxBitterleaf Derax (@DeraxBitterleaf) reported

    @SPGamer19 @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd you only get this when you get the Coral beard error XD

  • ActivistGamer Completionist Gamer (@ActivistGamer) reported

    @Loki88340591 @SeaOfThieves Me and my wife took the day off and tried for 8 hours. We were told they were bottlenecking players in because the servers were overloaded. Funny enough, every partnered streamer had streams going on twitch with no issues logging in.

  • tweetsandtums Tweets & Tums (@tweetsandtums) reported

    @snable_rick @Wayward_Snake @SeaOfThieves It’s not an argument, their servers crash often without your loving input and my annoyance, period. And you don’t believe me? Fine, again look at the comments across any social media, I’ll watch for ya in the comments belittling pirates come next week or the week after #tilthen

  • EatMorBasel2 Emc (@EatMorBasel2) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I can’t see my seasonal progress or trials it’s been like this for days now please fix it I just wanna see what level I am 😭

  • d3smsher D3smsher (@d3smsher) reported

    @PhuzzyBond @SeaOfThieves You know what I love about the sot community? Everytime they want something changed instead of just saying “change this it sucks lol” they give solutions too the problem, and really creative ones too

  • wavey_gravey Nola (@wavey_gravey) reported

    Still getting Blue Beard error on #SeaOfThieves Insider. 😭 Week 150 and I'm being denied.

  • RainDelancey0 Raindelancey (@RainDelancey0) reported

    @SoT_Support Is there any current issues with Arena?. I've restarted acouple of times and i am stuck "Searching the Seas.." #helpme #arenawontgrinditself #SeaOfThieves

  • Takias15 Takias (@Takias15) reported

    Hello @SoT_Support I am currently having a problem with downloading. @SeaOfThieves On the Xbox application I do between 150 and 400 kb/s, Normally I do 2 to 7 MB / s. I would like to know how to solve this problem. I have already undone and reinstalled. Thank you.

  • GamingLemon16 GamingLemon (@GamingLemon16) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Came back to this game after finishing it a couple years ago and I like the content they have added but the game feels broken and it’s had a lot of server issues for such a old game shame really.

  • killzone1401 Killzone1401 (@killzone1401) reported

    @Loki88340591 @ActivistGamer @SeaOfThieves How exactly could he have “tried a little harder” to play when all you could do during the event is press one button to get past the menu only to endlessly get a strawberrybead error.

  • StraightUnicron Non-homo Unicron 7 (@StraightUnicron) reported

    @SeaOfThieves When are the fix server emotes going to be released?

  • tweetsandtums Tweets & Tums (@tweetsandtums) reported

    @snable_rick @GamingLemon16 @SeaOfThieves Sorry bud but it can be blamed for server issues, I play sot regularly and it crashes ab every week sooooo…

  • Hidden3lite Hidden 3lite (@Hidden3lite) reported

    @Pharaoh_Rising @SeaOfThieves They only joked about it. No acknowledgement of the ongoing server issues. They're trying to avoid addressing the situation entirely. It's painfully obvious. @RareLtd "Despite the meddling of a certain fruit-bearded buccaneer keeping players off the seas".

  • cold_ow Cold (@cold_ow) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I sailed my way into server errors.
