Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Marzipanimal Heresiarch (@Marzipanimal) reported

    @Emitastic_91 @SeaOfThieves It won't be the same as quickswap no? Quickswap was a technique new players didn't know and this update just makes overall switching faster so it's more balanced. What's the problem?

  • RevBombRR RevBombRR Official (@RevBombRR) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @XboxGamePass Remember when y'all had that emergency hotfix for the commendations? Yeah you didn't actually fix it

  • Tvee___ Captain Abigail! 🏴‍☠🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ (they/she/hers) (@Tvee___) reported

    @iisaqd @SeaOfThieves Have you checked your settings? I had the same issues, found out it was set to "Push to talk"

  • cptsotcliff Cpt Sotcliff (@cptsotcliff) reported

    @TheApps_ @xB0NAx @SeaOfThieves So why isn't the game full of players? Why are the seas empty? Why is it always the same? Why isn't there an efficient anti-cheat system that truly solves the problem of aimbots?

  • iisaqd A (@iisaqd) reported

    @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I’ve been experiencing an issue for over a month and a half — I can’t talk or hear in the game. I’ve contacted your support several times, but there has been no helpful response. The problem is clearly from your side. I’m very disappointed with this poor support service😡

  • brian72856373 miexile (@brian72856373) reported

    @SeaOfThieves why is the game not working again..

  • brian72856373 miexile (@brian72856373) reported

    @SeaOfThieves will you fix my bandana please!

  • iisaqd A (@iisaqd) reported

    @Tvee___ @SeaOfThieves The problem is from the game.

  • BlitzysBulge 🔞̷Moxxie🔞🏳️‍🌈 (@BlitzysBulge) reported

    @Shayxis @SeaOfThieves Sooner or later, your game will die if this mindsets not changed but its your call at the end so many people have given you ideas on how to change and fix the game but you dont listen or care to fix anything i used to be a gigantic fan and now I'm not.

    @SeaOfThieves Sorry guys cant fix the game, but heres more stuff to spend money on...thanksssssss

  • Leator Leator #SoTFestV (@Leator) reported

    @SoT_Support @PixxyDoll @SeaOfThieves I may add to this, that it seems like diving is part of the issue. If you start a new session and don‘t dive at all, it should work. Maybe test this and add it to the support ticket.

    @Lotus_Koril @SeaOfThieves The game will always have cheaters, that's the problem.

  • I_Mac11_I I Mac11 I (@I_Mac11_I) reported

    Is anyone from @SeaOfThieves or anyone with experience in going from #Xbox to #PC able to help…? I recently bought a PC and went to play only to be told my account was banned…. But I’ve got my Xbox back out and I can play SoT no problem… so I’m not banned? What am I doing?

  • flash_senpai FlashSenpai (@flash_senpai) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Are you going to fix the Merchant/Storage Crate bug where it takes your money but you can’t “Take Storage Crate”?!!! Can’t tell you how many thousands of gold is wasted on this bug!!!

  • Lotus_Koril Master (@Lotus_Koril) reported

    @cptsotcliff @SeaOfThieves This is not a theory, its a fact. The current delayswap needs a specific timing and then you can shoot quicker then your opponent, but with this change everyone has the same swaptime. So after this change, your aim is the problem, since noone has an advantage anymore. -->

  • Kokokatten Kokokatten (@Kokokatten) reported

    @BowtieShyGuy @SeaOfThieves I hope they organize a proper emergency / fix team on standby in case of any issues with S18A1 release.. If the update has issues on Thursday, we shouldn’t wait till Monday for fixes, or longer.. If Thursday drop has issues -> servers down till Friday and work on it. Simple as.

  • Kokokatten Kokokatten (@Kokokatten) reported

    @BowtieShyGuy @SeaOfThieves Yes! I remember this one, I even had YT video with all the info because it was so much every single day! Yup, could repeat but probably won’t? :/ also, at the mo, I’m more concerned with a month full of nothing (not working deeds and comms and only mega stashes as attraction)

  • Coppertailwolf Copper (@Coppertailwolf) reported

    @SlothyBearr @SeaOfThieves I’d rather they delay then release it broken. I think the quick swap release will bring a lot of people back too so that’s the only update I really am looking forward to atm

  • uvraaTV Kian (@uvraaTV) reported

    @SlothyBearr @SeaOfThieves I genuinely think Sea of Thieves is the best game out there. I feel really bad for the devs tho since they're rushed w/ unreasonable deadlines which causes loads of bugs, then throughout have to fix these which breaks more things, it's a bad cycle for them 😪

  • iisaqd A (@iisaqd) reported

    @BavarianDiablo @Tvee___ @SeaOfThieves The problem is from the game.

  • PhuzzyBond Phuzzy (@PhuzzyBond) reported

    @Jack__Grimm @SeaOfThieves I found the issue, i think some items are duplicates so in "name-tag" it thinks the one you own isn't the one required to unlock,. thank you, that's an easy fix i will do it now 🙏

  • Toader_0 Toader (@Toader_0) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please, change things, i'm ok with most of the new drop thing but i have one major problem The +1 renown is just bad, you can finish the pass in two weeks without "tryhard" And this month the sails are just no These sails are in a pack when you buy the game (deluxe one i think)

  • PatrickOakes Patrick Oakes (@PatrickOakes) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix act 3 please...the dark brethren ships we sink at Reapers fort don't count...we cannot complete act 3

  • flyfishersteven Flyfishersteven (@flyfishersteven) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Frustrated with it. I jump on spend 5 minutes getting irritated with all the issues and then jump off to a different game

  • BrightShift JC (@BrightShift) reported

    @HitboTC @ARCRaidersGame @SeaOfThieves The problem is seasoned players don’t really value any amount of gold anymore. Including myself. Nothing I really care to buy. We just like to pvp and steal for the fun of it.

  • Lotus_Koril Master (@Lotus_Koril) reported

    @cptsotcliff @SeaOfThieves This Update has no effect on cheaters. 3rd party software always had and always will have quickswap settings. Thats a different issue all together.

  • Lotus_Koril Master (@Lotus_Koril) reported

    @cptsotcliff @SeaOfThieves Cheaters are still a seperate problem. You cant use that as an argument for an ingame change. Its not the faster swap makes this worse, it's the cheats. Your argument is cheaters vs casuals, mine was casuals vs veterans. Your argument has nothing to do with what i said.

  • Shayxis Shayxis (@Shayxis) reported

    @CptStepFalcon @SeaOfThieves For PvP. That way you'll be among yourselves. That's what you wanted anyway, right? Just a full PvP game, so why complain if PvE players can finally play in peace? A game where you won't have any more Runners? HA, yeah, nobody will do quests for you anymore, that's the problem :)
