  • Mynuku Mynuku (@Mynuku) reported

    @Noobface @SeaOfThieves Never had that problem on Xbox. Must be using a dell.

  • Noobface Gnoob (@Noobface) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Another random maintenance update... that broke alt-tabbing again. It freezes when you tab out and back in, most annoying bug please fix 😔

  • StonedSnawley StonedSnawley (@StonedSnawley) reported

    @CalebDeloas @SeaOfThieves So no one has a clear advantage over anyone else. That way everything is skilled based instead of using broken metas.

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @SoderJakob @BoiBitty @SeaOfThieves -Problem, is my fault but I'm saying it's not -It's your problem -No ???

  • Ashen_Kraken AshenKraken (@Ashen_Kraken) reported

    @Demon5379 @WaTsNoTgUdD @SeaOfThieves You know I see how it could work but the issue with it ( in my opinion) is that if you could just do gold hoards ect then the people in the pvp servers wouldn't have anyone to sink except athena. Unless im just not getting it

  • Dion39809893 Dion (@Dion39809893) reported

    @SeaOfThieves when is the insiders back online? Haven’t been able to login since last Friday

  • aBoonBag Boon (@aBoonBag) reported

    @SeaOfThieves This is why I have trust issues.

  • Jason_Myers2006 Jason Myers (@Jason_Myers2006) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves Some are broken and some are hard to find. It was broken yesterday unfortunately

  • Ashen_Kraken AshenKraken (@Ashen_Kraken) reported

    @ketanpamak5 @Julian77604339 @SeaOfThieves How is that an issue?

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @Simon_westmoors @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support That uodate was meant to fix server stability as well lol

  • TwiztedNemesis Twizted Nemesis (@TwiztedNemesis) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Keep getting dashboarded...no error msg of any kind. There a fix other than re installing ?

  • SeaOfPhotograph Sea Of Thieves Photography 📸🏴‍☠️🍍 (@SeaOfPhotograph) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support I'm having trouble getting into the game! Strawberrybeard, Lapisbeard, and now Lavenderbeard after restarting the game on Xbox.

  • TheDaveCalaz Dave Calaz🐝 (@TheDaveCalaz) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Having an issue uploading to Creator Crew, don't suppose you could help me out?

  • DerSprocket DerSprocket (@DerSprocket) reported

    @JimmyEatRose @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Do you think rare is really going to want to rent out bandwidth so that you could have your very own private server? You know these things cost money to run. I think that's the issue with most pve arguments. They don't look at any factors other than the "gimme"

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @MmmCherryade @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support I should of know it'd be the rays from the sun hitting my window & bouncing off my PC resulting in it messing with the back ground apps on my puter, thats causing the issue

  • PhantomNowOnYT Phantom (@PhantomNowOnYT) reported

    @SeaOfThieves can you please fix the outfit glitch in Sea Of Thieves Insider! It’s quite annoying

  • Ribcic rbcADHD (@Ribcic) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support the 2s lag on steam everytime i alt+tab from/in game is there again. PLS hotfix that

  • RIOT_gaming547 RIOT gaming! (@RIOT_gaming547) reported

    @Lukathy95 I’ve noticed @RareLtd has a hard time nailing down the whole issue sometimes. Not to knock them or anything it’s not easy trying to troubleshoot something like @SeaOfThieves

  • l7l_LuSt_l7l LuSt (@l7l_LuSt_l7l) reported

    No worse feeling then wasting 6 hours only to be sunk by bored kids in your own alliance.. I can't deal with these trust issues anymore! I need a break from this dumb game. #SeaOfDumbasses #SeaofThieves

  • Ashen_Kraken AshenKraken (@Ashen_Kraken) reported

    @Nxah22 @SeaOfThieves I get its an issue and all... but I'm just mad I cant get my sails

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @Simon_westmoors @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support It was a known issue on stream which they fixed & its back unfortunately. Is it just stutters in general or when you tab out?

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @pidge2571 @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves 1. The megaphone has less range than the spyglass 2. " 3. Doesn't mean I WANT to do it. Someone may be great at math but hates it 4. Yes 5. Swapping to gamechat doesn't work sometimes after spending a while in party chat because Xbox is broken

  • Stapi43921198 Stapi (@Stapi43921198) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix the merm you ds

  • DanielBra62 Daniel Bra (@DanielBra62) reported

    @dream_impala @SeaOfThieves Bruh just practice and give it your best, kraken is not a problem, you can get rid of it in like 2mins, PVE servers will ruin the game completely so please stop this nonsense!

  • Taaaaamas Taaamas (@Taaaaamas) reported

    @DrPewNStuff @SeaOfThieves @Captain_Falcore Yep yep. The issue is just orientation. If this is the correct way up, then this is most likely to be 'SHINING' but if we're to follow the singke-rune paper post instead with it pointing down, it's more likely to be 'MOONLIGHT'. Just can't tell which way up it is :/

  • NinjaCakeGirl Rach (@NinjaCakeGirl) reported

    @WednesFri @hbomax We were trying to learn how to play the game #SeaOfThieves tonight with a friend & there are just so many issues with gameplay (once the game finally loaded) that we just gave up & will be seeking refunds. No pirate adventures for us 😔

  • Noobface Gnoob (@Noobface) reported

    @Mynuku @SeaOfThieves Only a problem with the steam version lol, has nothing to do with specs it’s just a bug

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @RIOT_gaming547 @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Yeah it seems they struggle with that a lot unfortunately. I've noticed the gun lock issue has been particularly bad today. I'm hoping it's the servers settling but it kinda feels a little off

  • swole_dolphin TheSwoleDolphin (@swole_dolphin) reported

    @WaTsNoTgUdD @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Looks like some idiot on an alt account trying to get streamers in trouble

  • SamMcMullen6 Sam McMullen (@SamMcMullen6) reported

    @RareLtd is everything thing ok with the @SeaOfThieves servers because I am trying to load the game up but I get hit with a glitterbeard error now I'm getting a coarsebeard error
