    @RoseRage32 @SeaOfThieves dang, have you tried a server hop? we got lucky and made friends with everyone that was there to avoid this problem

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the second pirates of the Caribbean tell tale.

  • Davey028 Davey Morris (@Davey028) reported

    @WCPsycho @SeaOfThieves Tall Tale 2 can get soft locked if someone has already done it before you and you won't be able to progress further. Only way to fix it is by switching servers and hoping you're the first one to do it.

  • Xanthicirs Video Games and Politics (@Xanthicirs) reported

    @y_reen_ @phungus42 @SeaOfThieves Tons of NDAs have been broken.

  • Veteranpants 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 VeteranPants 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@Veteranpants) reported

    @LewisParkin12 @SeaOfThieves Restart the session or game. Ez fix

  • BadbrainsB78 Bjorn Kuhlmann (@BadbrainsB78) reported

    @SeaOfThieves What's up with the Eye's reach aim glitch? Sometimes when you aim it won't go into the glass view.

  • RangexSnakeater Бочков Алексей (@RangexSnakeater) reported

    @Krogbear30 @SeaOfThieves I have exactly same problem. When i trying to climb to my ship i fall down and cant escape

  • xBreezyLive GOML | xBreezyLive😼 (@xBreezyLive) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I keep getting the obsidianbeard error but I can’t find out how to fix it. Can someone please help I can’t play the game it won’t load up! PLEASE HELP

  • WCPsycho WCPsycho (@WCPsycho) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I already did all five stories, what’s there to fix?

  • KayyCee1416 KayCee (@KayyCee1416) reported

    @strchv @SeaOfThieves That was happening to my crew and I yesterday after the sunken pearl tall tale. I put it a ticket with rare to have it looked into. I saw a bunch of others with the same issue so hopefully it will be fixed soon!

  • doodrewski Drew G. (@doodrewski) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else having issues launching themselves out of the cannons? Was having the same issue just a couple days prior to the update, but since yesterday’s update it just launches you towards the back of the ship

  • YaBoiPhantom Phantom (@YaBoiPhantom) reported

    @SeaOfThieves and @SoT_Support please describe the point of the Pirates Life mode. If players can find you and sink you anyway, what’s the point of having another mode? Or is there a glitch where players can be in the same server?

  • Follow_14_ Valery Akulinich (@Follow_14_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Screen tearing! So far the biggest issue.

  • JoshDal12545473 dashingkiller12 (@JoshDal12545473) reported

    @SeaOfThieves new update is epic but buggy as hell fix you ****

  • Krogbear30 Krogbear (@Krogbear30) reported

    @Didact343 @SeaOfThieves Then shoot it with your cannons. It usually takes like 12 to 15 shots to take it down. If it bites into your ship, fix the holes and bail the water, then locate where it is and turn again as necessary. Megs are basically free treasure at this point just stay near where it sinks

  • theOGcanuck Eric Clark 🏒 (@theOGcanuck) reported

    @SeaOfThieves My game crash before I could even get into it with my friends, so I’ll hopefully wait for the hot fix. Still super excited!!

  • Momrad_G Momrad🎨 (@Momrad_G) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support there are a lot of problems. The whole update is buggy. Please, if you have the time, fix them. The update and story are great. But these bugs ruin the very much

  • Reck13ss_VK Isaiah (@Reck13ss_VK) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix Tall Tale 2 and screen tearing on Series X. It’s So bad it kills the fun sometimes and my eyes.

  • angerf1stTT angerf1st (@angerf1stTT) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix The no-reload bug. Its absolutly gamebreaking.

  • Kflores951 Kevin Flores (@Kflores951) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I was really excited for it and it started off great but the bugs in 2nd part killed it for me. We had members stuck in rooms, couldn’t see enemy’s and it kind of killed it for me untill it gets fixed. Other then that it’s good just please fix those ASAP

  • BrutalGaming101 Brutal Gaming (@BrutalGaming101) reported

    @SlayerEdus @SeaOfThieves It's an issue with that tall tale. Try finding a new server where someone didn't do it yet.

  • AdamOzzy LUFC OZZY (@AdamOzzy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Snipe glitch is the most annoying. But season 3 is amazing. Some bugs are to be expected

  • KevinToovey KevinTooveyOffical (@KevinToovey) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX THE GODDAMN PULLIES!

  • Bogd4_ Bogd4 (@Bogd4_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves PLS FIX RANDOMLY DROWNING FROM SECOND TALL TALE ITS SO ANNOYING!!!!!

  • AndrewTCollier Drew Collier (@AndrewTCollier) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Has anyone mentioned the eye of reach glitch? Sometimes when you aim the scope doesn’t come up and instead you just end up looking at the back of the gun and can’t see.

  • MrJeffOfficial MrJeff🇵🇱 (@MrJeffOfficial) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix 120 fov pls

  • strchv starchiv (@strchv) reported

    @SeaOfThieves what's happening with the servers, while doing fort of the damned we lagged like crazy and now we cannot get on the ship, we just glitch through back in the sea

  • Kyobinoyo Kyobinoyo (@Kyobinoyo) reported

    @Nightmar3_real @SeaOfThieves what is broken exactly?

  • GnarlicBreadd kyle (@GnarlicBreadd) reported

    @Nightmar3_real @SeaOfThieves Yea that seems to be the common theme, everything else has some minor bugs but working fine but not tt 2. So I guesss they will get a hot fix for that quick

  • Krogbear30 Krogbear (@Krogbear30) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Seriously, fix your game. This has happened twice to me today since you did this update yesterday
