    @XRayLexx @SeaOfThieves Dude there's so many issues with this game it's beyond a joke. I'm aware it's kinda complicated as a game but Jesus how bad are they going to let it get?! All of these issues just continue to get worse every update & nothing gets done. People do turn a blind eye though

  • Carmine37654696 Carmine (@Carmine37654696) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Resolving on problem Windows 10

  • deljhp Del (@deljhp) reported

    @chasestoker23 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Nope. You can play solo (mainly) but join someone else, expect it to crash

  • lr6609 leonardo 🇧🇷🏴 (@lr6609) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Friend game keeps crashing after we start getting mission loot. When we aren't carrying any loot his game doesn't crash. Both on PC

  • THEMOB51 THEMOB5 (@THEMOB51) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I'm crashing alot since this last update and can barely play please find a fix

  • MyKemistry Nate (@MyKemistry) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Every other server I join is crashing. 2 of my friends gave up on playing because of the crashing.I will keep rejoining.. “WE SHALL CRASH TOGETHER.”

  • XRayLexx XRayLexx (DTW) (@XRayLexx) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves As far as “issues” are you talking about bugs? Such as the game crashes or delays in rewards? Indeed they shouldn’t be there but as with all complex games issues do arise and are usually sorted pretty quickly.

  • Joseph88557724 Joemangaming3 (@Joseph88557724) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Last night when i went to go set up for a stream couldn't even get my crew in. It would just crash both our games

  • RCelms Reggie-Celms (@RCelms) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @GammaIsHere To be fair you do need to fix the game. Like fix the Hit box and stop double gunning. They are so broken

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @_ObscureTyler @XRayLexx @SeaOfThieves Very flipping lucky doode. These issues in game has been there for a long time & are getting progressively worse each update. Its resulted in a LOT of decent players leaving the game unfortunately. But hey we just moan when we ask for stuff to get fixed. They don't see them

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @XRayLexx @SeaOfThieves Those as well but there's way more issues than just those. Food doesn't always register, cannon bug is horrendous, mast bug gets worse. The obvious hit reg. Sword is really bad as they broke it, commendations always break & don't always count... there's so much wrong

  • Sqodword Brian (@Sqodword) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix ur stupid ******* game before and I fly across the globe at Mach 1 just to curb stomp ur ******* devs into the earths mantle

  • jakebread2005 JakeGotBread (@jakebread2005) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Oh I fixed that problem I just went on xbox insider and used the update preview

  • tweakybtw 🤡 (@tweakybtw) reported

    @SeaOfThieves found a temporary fix; not loading in before any of the crew members and waiting for all to start at the same outpost seemed to work. All loading in at the same is a short fix

  • Lasse35402180 Lasse (@Lasse35402180) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves My friend is having a issue with that every time he joins me hes game crashes after like 2-5 minutes.

  • hsamskluh Ray Liberty (@hsamskluh) reported

    @Thatcowboy13 @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves In fact still true, as I was noting the problem was growing in size to players previously not affected for the last 4 hours prior... Also known as "the problem is getting worse". Thanks for the attempted fact check though.

  • XRayLexx XRayLexx (DTW) (@XRayLexx) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves Honestly I’m not turning a blind eye. I don’t see that many issues. The odd hiccup, a rare crash, and odd bit of behaviour but no more than any other game, and SoT is a very complicated game. If I do see anything major I report it and move on.

  • RyanGamesYT1 RyxnCloudz (@RyanGamesYT1) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I stacked world events 20 times, and fotd, and i CRASHED AND LOST all my loot, wow, pls fix this ASAP, im getting annoyed i cant play the game at the lowest setting, like cmon

  • CaptainFoxytrot Captain Charlie Foxtrot 🐀 (@CaptainFoxytrot) reported

    @LEGIONUK2 @SoTCommunity @SeaOfThieves I was in a galleon game, then hopped out to do something on my computer. When I rejoined, I kept loading in dead and when I’d leave the ferry it would crash.

  • XboxMik29 Ⓜ️ik29🏴‍☠️ (@XboxMik29) reported

    @SoTCommunity @SeaOfThieves Me and a friend on a Sloop at Mermaids Island this morning about 11am GMT. We got Hazelbeard errors about 3 times each, then he froze once, I on the over hand had the game freeze 3 times in a row after only a few seconds of being back in the game. Then I did a full reset.....

  • ItalianGamer12 TheItalianGamer91 (@ItalianGamer12) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Please fix it my game keeps crashing

  • ZachMcCormick9 Zach McCormick (@ZachMcCormick9) reported

    @SeaOfThieves this game is trash since the update. My game does nothing but endlessly crash. #uninstall

  • Deano_M_ 💀 Deano_m_ 💀 (@Deano_M_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves issues people can't connect to groups on servers. or they get disconnected shortly after

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @XRayLexx @SeaOfThieves You can deny the hit reg is horrendous in this game... there's way more issues than just hit reg & they all contribute to making spoiling a lot of peoples experience in this game. Everyone should what the game to preform the best it can regardless but its not

  • Simon_westmoors Simon In West Moors (@Simon_westmoors) reported

    @OrerenA your not alone ehh @RareLtd and @SeaOfThieves , fair few ive spoken too have issues lately from FPS and being kicked out before they can do anything in game ..

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @XRayLexx @SeaOfThieves Theres more issues than just hit reg. Why is your way of playing more valid than ours? There shouldn't be issues at all especially not to the degree we are having right now! I don't even class myself as a sweat & I see the issues in plain sight

  • chasestoker23 Chase Stoker (@chasestoker23) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves is this issue resolved now?

  • _GhostAdmiral Ghost Admiral (@_GhostAdmiral) reported

    People! Stop being mad at @SoT_Support and @SeaOfThieves! They know there are lots of crashes! And they’re trying to fix it! What more do you want people! Leave them to do their thing, and they will fix it :)

  • XboxMik29 Ⓜ️ik29🏴‍☠️ (@XboxMik29) reported

    @SoTCommunity @SeaOfThieves And got a something new called Avacardobeard error and after another reset I was able to rejoin the game. We cashed everything in after that and quit for the day. 😡

  • qg6X1G1dtHhQMVK 长川 (@qg6X1G1dtHhQMVK) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Why does the game continue to crash after the update? This problem is very troublesome to me, please solve it as soon as possible, thank you
