    @SeaOfThieves Login to your site has been broken for days, redirecting to the "xbox account required" support page instantly instead of asking for a login in the first place. Firefox, cookies cleared, cache cleared. Ticket button not working either. What to do?

  • AceMcClutch AceMcClutch (@AceMcClutch) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Any known issues with in-game purchases? mine keeps failing no matter the item

  • Ignacio02027359 skeleking (@Ignacio02027359) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I was (and still am) excited for the update, but for the first tall tale whenever I try to cross to the other realm it always sends me back to the outpost, idk if im missing something or its a glitch, either way im sure itll be awesome soon

  • Ashton67417701 Ashton (@Ashton67417701) reported

    @MighProductions @SeaOfThieves hardly anything new besides the story tall tale thing and they removed 120 fov; no hit reg fix and the pass is mediocre at best

  • SlimSkittle Slim Skittle (@SlimSkittle) reported

    @RRobison223 @SeaOfThieves Let’s see you develop a game with no issues

  • PontiusPlague Kobe Jones (@PontiusPlague) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I’m literally sitting right next to my friend on different consoles and he’s playing while I’m constantly getting errors at the main screen. Is that happening with everyone else or is our internet being poopy

  • RRobison223 Ryan Robison (@RRobison223) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Broken black screen before you enter 2nd portal?? Come on SOT you pump this new content but then you can't play. Haven't you learned yet been 3 yrs

  • stevent2002 StevenT2002 (@stevent2002) reported

    @GroganJak @SeaOfThieves don't release it if it's this broken. It's not even just the glitches though. I can run sea of thieves no issues at 72fps but in the new locations I average 40fps, so optimization is a problem. And the fight at the end of the tall tale was so scripted it wasn't even fun

  • SpritetheFox L.J.D. Millar (@SpritetheFox) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Cool!... now to wait 6 hours to make it playable on Steam. SOMEBODY FIX THE STEAM CLIENT(I understand it was built for Xbox not steam, but this is ridiculous. Players shouldn’t have to wait 4-7 hours depending on the region just to fiddle with the game files and make it playable)

  • eouly1 eouly (@eouly1) reported

  • Griffion28 Griffion28 🇮🇱 (@Griffion28) reported

    @SeaOfThieves You can’t go on the beaches of the island so just wondering if it’s supposed to be like that or if it’s just a issue that needs to be solved anyways hope you read this and someone fixes this 👍 but I was loving everything else so far and can’t wait to go on with my crew

  • hayl1311 HAYL1311 (@hayl1311) reported

  • Azikura Ryan (@Azikura) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Just getting lavenderbeard error and no update.

  • ancientsith @ancientsith (@ancientsith) reported

    @Retro_1993 @LordHighFixxer @SeaOfThieves While I appreciate your view, some people love the game and don’t want to waste hours of progress due to toxic players or we may have medical issues like nerve damage that limit twitch skills. I love the game, but even lower progression for PvE only would work.
