Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Dieseldinho Dieseldinho (@Dieseldinho) reported

    @mergym3rgles @SeaOfThieves I’ve played once in the last two months. No desire to sail for pve, pvp is nonexistent/ only skuttle or runners, and the hit reg, rubberbanding and lag have been terrible. Hate to say it but the game has taken a major step back in the last 6-12 months

  • MrWalkboi Walkboi (@MrWalkboi) reported

    @mergym3rgles @SeaOfThieves Yeah it’s been worse for me. Hoping to see a fix soon :/

  • WereSoLucid Lucid (@WereSoLucid) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves what's up with the lavender beard problem?

  • BuckSlayer434 Sean (@BuckSlayer434) reported

    @CaptainFoxytrot @SeaOfThieves about the same time they fix hit reg and other in game issues

  • SmokeBeardTV SmokeBeardTV (@SmokeBeardTV) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Let’s fix hit reg and server crashes first lol

  • shayru_alg Average League Gamer (@shayru_alg) reported

    @RareThief @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Ah so your saying all my problems could have been fixed by reading lol story of my life

  • FOXD11E FOXDIE (@FOXD11E) reported

    @marlinman123 @SeaOfThieves Please makes this fire! Well depending if your in the states or not. Could get in a lot of trouble in the UK lol

  • VahchySoT Vahchy #SoTShot (@VahchySoT) reported

    Might be time for a break from #seaofthieves. Having a hard time scratching that pvp itch. With arena gone I find myself hopping more than playing to find action and that's a problem.

  • mergym3rgles merg (@mergym3rgles) reported

    It's not just me. @SeaOfThieves was near unplayable last night due to lag/rubber banding. What the hell happened?

  • andrebermech The Andreber Mech (@andrebermech) reported

    It is a massive issue tbh, iniquity Derek is really corrupting the game, and with no help from the devs, I don’t expect the future of sea of thieves to be that long. It’s really sad and disappointing with the lack of communication. #SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

  • kore_virus Kore Virus (@kore_virus) reported

    @CaptainFoxytrot @EGGamer_ @SeaOfThieves Private lobbies have been around for 2 years or so now. The problem is they are unstable; people can't rejoin if they crash out or leave, and many other things. When doing comps it was easier to mostly get hardware guy and his bud to overtake a server etc.

  • andrebermech The Andreber Mech (@andrebermech) reported

    @SeaOfThieves What is your opinion on the iniquity Derek issue in sea of thieves please respond, it would help A LOT. #iniquityderek #seaofthieves

  • misterwhiskytv Misterwhisky (@misterwhiskytv) reported

    @mergym3rgles @SeaOfThieves Central servers were okay. Didn’t have too many issues besides a handful of rubber bands over a couple hours

  • jonathanclark0 Jonathan Clark (@jonathanclark0) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Broken adventure. Everything is checked off, yet not complete. Where is the directive to speak to bell along the process? Have to restart and clear fortresses again just because of the lack of clarity after clearing fortresses over 20 times(yes cycled them all) just to find Cecil

  • ChipLyle I Herd That! (@ChipLyle) reported

    @tenaciouztv @SeaOfThieves Looks cool! BTW: In case you didn't know, the most important thing to put in your filter besides carbon is Ammo Chips. They filter out the ammonia built up by fish waste. I used to have fish health problems until I discovered the ammonia problem. Enjoy!

  • GnR_SomersBy Eggsnbacon19 (@GnR_SomersBy) reported

    Really wish @SeaOfThieves offered more audio settings IN-GAME.... mic never fcking works in that game, even when i try their trouble shooters.... it's a shame really.

  • mongo_studio Mongo Studio (@mongo_studio) reported

    @SeaOfThieves More than 1000 hours... I have a problem i think

  • Cracked2Tap SM Smokes (@Cracked2Tap) reported

    @SeaOfThieves When ******** are you guys going to adress the ******* sword block? I get that you have completely given up on hit reg but atleast publicly state that you know the ******* block is a joke. Its a broken mechanic that works 25percent of the time.HOLY **** FIX UR GAME

  • DeadBySonne dead by hitbox (@DeadBySonne) reported

    @SeaOfThieves ~200 but left due to fps issues

  • wellsa27 Stephen Wells (@wellsa27) reported

    @DiscoJacen @SeaOfThieves Exactly the same issue! We're wondering if haven't done something right?

  • KILO11_VIP KILO11 VIP (@KILO11_VIP) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Since last update, little lag issues when running on islands and pirate skull heads disapers (or not glowing at distances). I'm on xbox serie x. Still very good game, thanks to the devs.

  • GrandNOBLE GrandNOBLE (@GrandNOBLE) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm not going back to #SOT until you fix the unobtainable achievements. It's completely ridiculous. I'm done until those are obtainable again.

  • HealPlsHeal HealPleaseHeal (@HealPlsHeal) reported

    Well... .I found out why my audio was not working in @SeaOfThieves .... and as expected it was a stupid reason. DAMMIT!

  • CaptainFoxytrot Captain Charlie Foxtrot 🐀 (@CaptainFoxytrot) reported

    @aDreamingNomad @SeaOfThieves @ChappersChapman I heard it was due to an issue with ship pathing and the new forts.

  • Sqyze_4c3 Théo Cagan (@Sqyze_4c3) reported

    @SeaOfThieves 3200 and I just stop the game because the pvp is broken and we have no concrete news

  • andrebermech The Andreber Mech (@andrebermech) reported

    @SeaOfThieves A picture of iniquity Derek (an issue you are not fixing)

  • CaptainSpoopy Cpt. Spoopy (@CaptainSpoopy) reported

    @molly_meta @IamTheEkimo @SeaOfThieves I did, idk why the first session was such a pain but I restarted and got it all done within an hour yesterday. Near as I can tell only problem is that people keep going forts killing the jailors and freeing the prisoners without finishing the fort so they're resetting incorrectly

  • IAmTrashTV AbsoluteTrash (@IAmTrashTV) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Any info on the glitch happening where dying resets your pirate's appearance/emotes every time?

  • EGGamer_ 🏳️‍🌈 Cpt. EG - Iñigo Zulueta (@EGGamer_) reported

    @CaptainFoxytrot @SeaOfThieves They are currently in a very very early state and they have lots of issues and don't even have a barebones feature set complete. When the team is ready and confident on the feature, it will release to the whole player base (probably under some kind of payment tho)

  • wellsa27 Stephen Wells (@wellsa27) reported

    @CaptainSpoopy @SeaOfThieves I've got this same problem, and I know we've spoken to Belle... she gave us the list of things to do, but 5 forts in no jailor...
