Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Stiphonufis Stephen (@Stiphonufis) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your new dogshit pvp mode. Also, can you give us accurate matchmaking times and let us know we have to wait hours for a game rather than display a misleading 4-6 minute wait time so I know to get ******** off the game and wait for next season to try and play.

  • smelvindingled smelvin (@smelvindingled) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX YOUR DOGSHIT HIT REG

  • Silentx_Rage5 SilentxRage5 (@Silentx_Rage5) reported

    @SeaOfThieves How about yall fix hit reg before releasing more garbage pvp modes.

  • datapope Dr.hc. Datenpapst (@datapope) reported

    @LaSofiReborn @SeaOfThieves Guess they will fix that soon.

  • ekul_1021 Monkey Island Ship Harbor (@ekul_1021) reported

    @TippToppHansiI @SeaOfThieves Maybe their ship's steering got broken?

  • DrakeBG757 Drake the Warlock (@DrakeBG757) reported

    I think the biggest problem/diservice that the story of #SeaOfThieves has put itself in, is collecting most if not all the 'villain' characters under the umbrella of FlameHeart. Aka, no matter who you are immediately facing, it is basically always "you vs Flameheart".

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @bootycup_ @JVASHDRAGONGRT @SeaOfThieves I was wrong about what? I never said the game is without bugs, or runs smoothly, i simply disagree that its totally broken and horrible, but you act like i have said it has no flaws.

  • WhenDidRadioKi1 WhenDidRadioKillCod King (@WhenDidRadioKi1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Getting a Lavender beard error... are servers down?

  • Ahayzo Andrew (@Ahayzo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves And rather than fixing the PvP achievements you purposely permanently broke in the spring, you just added more instead. I expected nothing and am still disappointed. Pretty dumb that a first party dev is out there intentionally breaking them in an active live service game.

  • KJGruca KG (@KJGruca) reported

    @dignified_space @SeaOfThieves You completely contradicted yourself there. So you're saying they took a reward that was previously PvEvP... and expanded it so it's only accessible by way of PvP. That's my issue. For the first time in over four years, they're forcing a playstyle on their users.

  • HALEXEN1 HALEXEN (@HALEXEN1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix your game rare! Was in galme for hours and I'm too good that I broke tut and now I m getting marblebwaed bro can't even enjoy the pirate life.damn. I'm going to atlas online.

  • LaSofiReborn Zofyark 🎃 #TeamFlameheart ❤️‍🔥 (@LaSofiReborn) reported

    @ZackAmor1 @SeaOfThieves Lol Let me enjoy the game the way I want. Its not like I broke progression and I tagged them so they know how I did access and fix it

  • Maverick_EU Maverick (@Maverick_EU) reported

    @SeaOfThieves not sure if other captains are having the same issue but I’m having some pretty bad black screen load times

  • AlphaWolf1679 AlphaWolf (@AlphaWolf1679) reported

    @SmithyBug @Chrisi4210 @SeaOfThieves Cause in all those hours i havent seen a single time that hit reg existed and tbh if you have then thats a you problem ive not seen it happen so its honestly just a ****** excuse

  • BradyConal Conal Brady (@BradyConal) reported

    @SeaOfThieves LOVING the update, only issue is when you come out of the water your WAY to close to the opposing ship, you both start turning and it becomes whoever is first to the cannon to hit a chain shot under the pressure of being so close, please have us spawn the edges of the circle.

  • AlactarGaming Alactar (@AlactarGaming) reported

    @ArtyDoubloon @SeaOfThieves having the same issue sometimes (resetting the modem actually fixes it)

  • UpsetPickle HomiePicks (@UpsetPickle) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I keep getting bugs and lagging out, it's really annoying and then all the sudden, the servers went down, i can't join my boat back it and none of my teammates can, it keeps saying marblebeard

  • InkyGhosts Inky (@InkyGhosts) reported

    @KJGruca @dignified_space @SeaOfThieves You say that like this is the first time they've had PvP exclusive cosmetics. You forget about all of the arena stuff and the headwear you get from selling broken emissary flags to Reapers. If you don't want to PvP then don't PvP, but don't expect to be able to get the rewards.

  • jeanie_kat1 Jeanie Kat 💜💖💜 (@jeanie_kat1) reported

    technical difficulties are a b!tch. gotta fix my mouse AND my graphics. #annoyed will be back on #SeaOfThieves on Saturday with @LostHarlequinn <3

  • BrentnallMax Max Brentnall (@BrentnallMax) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I’ve got this glitch when if I die and my ship sinks i infinitely load.

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @AlphaWolf1679 @Chrisi4210 @SeaOfThieves My guy, personal incredulity isnt an excuse, in fact it is a flaw of logic, but you can literally look up hitreg issues your self, there are cases where a blunder hits point blank, and says it registered, but the person doesnt even die, or 5+ swings with a sword to kill some one.

  • lofilouie69 Louie (@lofilouie69) reported

    @itzpoppyseed @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support You can sink your ship to fix it

  • Slappy202TV Slappy (@Slappy202TV) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the ****** rubber banding

  • Richard74765122 rich (@Richard74765122) reported

    @OrlandoGriffoni @Dylan_Peace_ @SeaOfThieves Yeah that’s if you even find people with your skill level because this false advertising of skill based matches is not working

  • TorxyE TorxyElboo (@TorxyE) reported

    Fix blunderbus pls it's too op #SeaOfThieves

  • Silentx_Rage5 SilentxRage5 (@Silentx_Rage5) reported

    @CMPUNKNEXUS100 @SeaOfThieves Yeah, it's completely ***. If pvp is forced then they need to fix the garbage hit reg.

  • lofilouie69 Louie (@lofilouie69) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Is anyone having trouble firing their cannons like they won’t shoot out

  • lofilouie69 Louie (@lofilouie69) reported

    @BrendenStokkel1 @SeaOfThieves You can stink your ship to fix it

  • Silentx_Rage5 SilentxRage5 (@Silentx_Rage5) reported

    @Bl1ndGuard1991 @requester47 @SeaOfThieves Rather play anything but this if there's no pve, all of my games are pvp but they don't have ****** pvp mechanics, like you know hit reg problems, if pvp is forced then it shouldn't be ***.

  • Aerohorse3 Aerohorse3 (@Aerohorse3) reported

    @SeaOfThieves This game has been broken so long and so much that I give up playing. Thank you for the adventures that weren’t as bugged as others but I honestly have no desire to play anymore and I did try today but I logged off
