Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • IIMikezII Michael Lloyd (@IIMikezII) reported

    @KerekesMatko @SeaOfThieves There is never usually an ETA, they'll be back up when the team is confident the update is ready and server are stable. They tend not to set expectations for a specific downtime to avoid further backlash if unforeseen issues occur and they can't meet the promised deadline.

  • PepicWalrus PepicWalrus (@PepicWalrus) reported

    @fnlyyyy @SeaOfThieves Never had this issue, I'd open a support ticket.

  • TobiYukihoshi 𝕋𝕠𝕓𝕚𝕐𝕦𝕜𝕚𝕙𝕠𝕤𝕙𝕚 ✨💫⭐️ (@TobiYukihoshi) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves This is why me and the crew haven’t played lately. Please fix this so we can get back on the seas. 😢

  • SukhtajD Sukhtaj Dhaliwal (@SukhtajD) reported

  • IllBushido305 Bushido (@IllBushido305) reported

    @itzpoppyseed @SeaOfThieves You do know they can’t just” fix hit reg” don’t you lol?

  • AA___2424 Andy (@AA___2424) reported

    @ScrollsFallout @ritamm16 @SeaOfThieves Fax but the spawn rates do have issues.

  • CHiphopular Cpt Hiphopular (@CHiphopular) reported

    @DinoNuggie1110 @R3pcom @SeaOfThieves I've heard ppl parrot this and it's bs. Hit reg should've never been an issue to begin with. Not hard to do, basically every modern game does it without issue.

  • noob76052507 oxynatOr (@noob76052507) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves guys i really starting to get the clue, you guys suffer DDoS Attacks? If not why not spend some money into IPS/IDS? its like capable of +50GBits Attacks... go ask OVH for help!!

  • IllBushido305 Bushido (@IllBushido305) reported

    @smarioplayer200 @SeaOfThieves Hit reg is a latency issue and a very complex one that can’t be fixed over a weekend and likely won’t be perfect ever. The others you mentioned aren’t bugs. Those are error codes for different things regarding disconnecting. That’s usually a problem on your side.

  • oaffii oaffi (@oaffii) reported

    @ToejahMM @SeaOfThieves Will fix hit reg.

  • areimanios 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺🇩🇪Crux Rosae: Angra Mainyu (@areimanios) reported

    @IllBushido305 @smarioplayer200 @SeaOfThieves Also not over months or years, I would not hold my breath for it; either the game is bearable | not, any fix is welcomed, but never I would recommend it without a word of caution.

  • FalkentavioTtv Falkentavio (@FalkentavioTtv) reported

    @SeaOfThieves It would be cool if the kraken would actually sink every ship on all servers before taking them down. Disable login and respawn, spawn the kraken armee, then shut them down. It could be an epic sight seeing all ships beeing dragged down to the ocean at once.

  • R3pcom R3pcom (@R3pcom) reported

    @DinoNuggie1110 @SeaOfThieves Other games have had hitbox issues that got fixed. It's not magic. Seeing as the problem gets worse as ping increases, it's most likely the netcode that needs some optimization. Now if optimizing your netcode requires you to "tear your game apart", then your code is simply ****.

  • ToiletRoePaper Alex (Roey 101) (@ToiletRoePaper) reported

    @BobBankGaming @SeaOfThieves @NikkiWulf As long as its credited then there's no issue. But most of the time and in this instance, there is no credit.

  • TyWratten Ty_Guy_Payton (@TyWratten) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else having issues getting into a game?

  • AA___2424 Andy (@AA___2424) reported

    @fnlyyyy @SeaOfThieves Assuming you weren’t doing the checkpoint glitch, then yeah that’s a problem

  • Warrior3649 Virulence420 (@Warrior3649) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix your damn game. I can't do anything I want to because either some selfish player, or constantly spawning skeleton ships that are indestructible. Fix the bullshit.

  • HarryGoss6 LifeLexus (@HarryGoss6) reported

    @SeaOfThieves please don't fix the reload cancel ;)

  • penumbrem yeet ***** (@penumbrem) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Didn't have enough emporium content? Couldn't get onto a server to test it out? Realized emporium content isn't the problem? (Couldn't have been the third thing)

  • Nxah22 Noah (@Nxah22) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why does hit reg happen so often especially in arena, how does it happen and why can't you fix it, genuine question.

  • SirPigeon3 Sir Pigeon (@SirPigeon3) reported

    @TinyTinkerWolf @SeaOfThieves The servers down so you'll have to wait for a bit

  • breadfox101 breadfox (@breadfox101) reported

    @SeaOfThieves why on gods ******* earth do i have to valid my ******* game files after re downloading the game just have an audio issue immediately after just to not solve it after turning every button and slider

  • R3pcom R3pcom (@R3pcom) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hopefully the additional week will give you some extra time to fix the atrocious hit registration. I'm so tired of getting hit markers with no damage applied.

  • mrclorox9 Mr. Clorox (@mrclorox9) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Pay me my 300k and 4 completed athenas run in reputation Rare, I get it’s not your fault but I grinder like 5-6 hours yesterday and what I got today is nothing compared to what I lost, pls fix

  • Rhat001 Rhat (@Rhat001) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Dear Rare, I hope u will remove the new creatures and merms. They are definetly ruin all the game. Put them into the Pirate Life tall tale. U should fix the old bugs and glitches instead of this **** Disney update. The most player hate this update. U should remove Disneyshits!

  • PepicWalrus PepicWalrus (@PepicWalrus) reported

    @C4pt4inF @HLariash @SeaOfThieves Issue with gambling actual coin against other players is that it makes a way to trade money and thus opens up a market for coin sellers. Buy gold, join a crew, and they bet the money and throw the game.

  • JSagagurl Joe SagaGurl (@JSagagurl) reported

    @lelkulet @Nxah22 @SeaOfThieves Or just fix hit registration......What are they even doing? Its been an issue since day 1

  • mir4ges ᴅᴏᴍ (@mir4ges) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support any chance you guys could fix the skeleton bosses & normal skeletons from spawning in rock formations and being stuck in there causing voyages to be canceled and impossible to complete? :/ I know you guys are busy, just would be a nice fix (:

  • itzpoppyseed itzpoppyseed (@itzpoppyseed) reported
