    @SeaOfThieves Guys u have to fix the portal hopping

  • Krogbear30 Krogbear (@Krogbear30) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I love how you did a hot fix yet our rowboats still plunge us to the bottom of the ocean and become unridable like 1/3 of the time. I guess you don’t want us to use row boats

  • TheFullNelson TheFullNelson (@TheFullNelson) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Odd problem here, I didn’t see an update available as of 5:30PM EST yesterday, despite refreshing the Windows Store and resetting it as well. I checked the build version I have installed and it is still the previous build, but somehow I’m still able to play. Any ideas?

  • SpiderWizard Big Spider Wizard (@SpiderWizard) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support any known issues with Rep and XP? I didn't gain any XP for a merchant mission.

  • Cunno84 Scott C (@Cunno84) reported

    @SeaOfThieves hey guys any ideas why my game is constantly crashing. I can’t even reach my Sloop without it crashing to windows without warning. No error message or anything. Verified files through steam, uninstallled and reinstalled multiple Nvidia driver versions. HELP!

  • DankAnimeTrash AudrieGarrett (@DankAnimeTrash) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else glitching off all ships and rowboats? My friend and I are stranded and everytime we try to get on our ship or rowboat it throws us off or we glitch through the bottom

    @Hunter4J If @SeaOfThieves is anything to go by, even their live service titles are top tier! I can't get enough of it.

    @Kyleia @SeaOfThieves I had Meg problems before last update, I think the last update made it worse.

  • VaderMonkeyGam1 VaderMonkey Gaming (@VaderMonkeyGam1) reported

    Good afternoon. I'm apologising for not streaming yesterday. I was supposed to be sim racing with Scottish Ian and the gang, but due to a hip issue, I was unable to take part. Normal service will resume this Thursday for another #SeaOfThieves Thursday.

  • StoneTerrorLive StoneTerror (@StoneTerrorLive) reported

    Sunk a crew in @SeaOfThieves tonight which happened to be followed by me getting follow botted on my channel. Thankfully @CommanderRoot makes this a 1 click fix.

  • cooldog542 Jared Reed (@cooldog542) reported

    @Terule_ @SeaOfThieves @Xbox I don’t have SoT on PC, but I know that for Strawberrybeard updating your game should fix it

  • IllBushido305 Bushido (@IllBushido305) reported

    @Demon6880 @SeaOfThieves I’m not referring to why but instead how who you fix and balance this.

  • requester47 Requester 47 (@requester47) reported

    @iamtygrah @SeaOfThieves I play on xbox only servers now. I found my servers or alliance only servers. Don't have that much of a issue now. Had a really good xbox only session that we all became alliance and made so much money it was amazing!

  • 1Chenzo Chenzo (@1Chenzo) reported

    @photekplays @SeaOfThieves This is a topic that comes up in our discord from time to time. The issue of 'time-limited' events and cosmetics. Do you feel cheated out of them cause you don't have the time to play to acquire them?

  • HxC_FallenDream BPH Wussie (@HxC_FallenDream) reported

    @xboxinsider How many times does an issue have to be reported before the team addresses it or even looks into it? I would love to enjoy sea of thieves but you current builds for Skip Ahead and Alpha make the game drop me every 2 hours. #SeaOfThieves

  • ShockedDavishon David² (@ShockedDavishon) reported

    @waka1105555 @SeaOfThieves Yup That's sea of thieves for you. I remember losing like 8 hours of loot for connection issues

  • DesaiaZ ❤ Desaia desu ❤ (@DesaiaZ) reported

    @KingMarlexia @SeaOfThieves We had the same problem. We had NOONE in this time of the event, who sailed with us together :( this was really really sad. Therefore we couldn't get the stuff from the event. So freakin sad :(

  • AW0L_ AWOL_ (@AW0L_) reported

    2 of the new Tall Tales Completed on #SeaOfThieves, found bugs on the 2nd one and I was redoing one of the older ones only to find bugs also. Why are devs these days just making broken games and patches? Where is the professionalism in their creations?
