    @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.

  • BoiBitty Bitty Boi (@BoiBitty) reported

    @draco_neon @SeaOfThieves If youre on steam, try this. "I figured it out, I'm gonna leave this here so anyone that has the same problem like me will be able to fix it. You have to go to your Windows Credential Manager and delete anything that says xbl_Ticket with the numbers 1717113201 in it," (1/2)

  • 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

  • feitigeitin Feitigeitin (@feitigeitin) reported

    @flavius_pt @SeaOfThieves bro if the fix spawn killing people will not play the game just learn the movement of strafe and keep swinging or shooting it aint hard and if we get resistence people are just gonna dislike the game and it will be so unfair play advantage

  • EddieThe_Bear EddieTheBear (@EddieThe_Bear) reported

    @ACyrak @SeaOfThieves Its good that they are aware. Lets hope they fix it soon!

  • 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.

  • imnotbreno Breno (@imnotbreno) reported

    @Majora__Z @VGC_News The problem with @SeaOfThieves (or any online only game) isn't online only, the game was made that way. The problem is that you can't host a private server, when you can usually is paying some subscription (like Fallout 76). The problem would be if they do something that can be +

  • IAmTrashTV AbsoluteTrash (@IAmTrashTV) reported

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

  • JulianFuchs15 Dichter Nocht (@JulianFuchs15) reported

    @flavius_pt @SeaOfThieves What should they fix with the spawn killing? Give you resistance when you spawn on you ship?

  • AlactarGaming Alactar (@AlactarGaming) reported

    @ThatJordoGuy I don't care if he streams or not. it's his actions i have issues with. and I personally think TOS violations should be the same punishments to all players and not just "Non Streamers" or "unliked streamers" i think @SeaOfThieves needs to work on that BIGTIME

  • DeftestHawk DeftestHawk (@DeftestHawk) reported

    @ACyrak @SeaOfThieves Looking forward to when they fix this, it’s quite an annoying issue

  • LGNBlueSquirrel ImThoughtless (@LGNBlueSquirrel) reported

    @SeaOfThieves After today's update, I'm lagging like no tomorrow, I used to average 60-100fps on 1440p and now I'm getting 3-20fps and the game is unplayable

  • ParadoxTrax Paradox (@ParadoxTrax) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd I know there’s legal issues, but is there a way for minors ( preferably 15 year olds) to be apart of the creator crew without breaking policy?

  • 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!

  • JeffercakesG JeffercakesGamez (@JeffercakesG) reported

    Anyone else have issues with the new #SeaOfThieves adventure yesterday? We ended up having to go to every fort to get all of the NPCs, with 3 of the forts having the exact same people. There was someone else on the server trying to complete it as well - so took us 4 hours!

  • 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!

  • bsouth1984 The1ShroudedGhost (@bsouth1984) reported

    @RealLifeWookie @JoeNeate1 @SeaOfThieves I know for sure no one has discovered the fix for hit reg, maybe that's it

  • JakeHukin Jake Hukin (@JakeHukin) reported

    @MercianMedia @SeaOfThieves It's where your client becomes out of sync with the server due to lag spikes so when it catches up you suddenly get snapped back to where the server thinks you are. Feels like your running whilst attached to a bungie cord as the game keeps pulling you around.

  • draco_neon Neon Draco (@draco_neon) reported

    @SeaOfThieves hey so reddit is useless but are the EU servers down or something becaus emt game is fully updated but i cant play and am still getting lavender beard error sorry idk how else to ask the shoes do be nice

  • Stanto Christopher Stanton (@Stanto) reported

    @flavius_pt @SeaOfThieves Record when this happens with OBS and submit a support ticket to them, based on what they've said in podcasts they don't understand/consider it an issue for players.

  • CrewMisfortune Crew of Misfortune (@CrewMisfortune) reported

    @KairiKaimana @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Never got any beard errors

  • IgorLinharesTt Igor Linhares (@IgorLinharesTt) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else getting problem with FPS locking at 30 when starting session??? My FPS is normal in the menu lobby, but when I enter the server got stuck at 30 lol

  • 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...

  • CrewMisfortune Crew of Misfortune (@CrewMisfortune) reported

    Anybody else having issues with your game crashing? Happened to us multiple times. Even happened at the exact same time once. Little help or acknowledgement would be nice @SoT_Support #SeaOfThieves #BeMorePirate

  • InfectedRonin InfectedRonin (@InfectedRonin) reported

    @SeaOfThieves If we missed the first chapter due to a ****** up real life problem, is there any chance to do it in the near future?

  • ItsGrimisis That Guy Grim (@ItsGrimisis) reported

    @SeaOfThieves what’s the point in adding new content when your servers are basically unplayable, if the servers are constantly unstable, fix that! No point adding new content if the servers can’t handle it!

  • MasterCrabs01 Master Crab (@MasterCrabs01) reported

    @SeaOfThieves you guys gotta do something about your servers my pc shouldn't lock up and freeze when jumping servers or like alot of others receiving alot of lag spikes especially when phantoms spawn.:/ great content tho XD

    @GlitchGolder @beyondnrg @SeaOfThieves Glitch playing sea of thieves 😳😳

  • imnotbreno Breno (@imnotbreno) reported

    @Majora__Z @VGC_News @SeaOfThieves played locally like Stadia's Gylt and require a subscription to play it. If it's something really unique and only possible in cloud, I see no problem.

  • louiscarman23 Louis C, (@louiscarman23) reported

    @Noobface @SeaOfThieves It’s a stupid glitch and it got me sunk and killed the other day cause of a little pirate on pc
