    @SeaOfThieves @Fishhook_Cook Anyone have fps droppes while playing on Xbox series x ??? It's been like that since day 1 and still no update to fix that what's going on ? .. this is when playing on 60 fps mode .. plz fix it already !

  • _Gnarrr_ Gnarrr (@_Gnarrr_) reported

    @Zero_Demon_King @AbdullahAlkaa2i @SeaOfThieves You should not. Bugs are fine. Continuous crashes and memory leaks are not. Can't remember the last time sot did an engine upgrade, fix your backend first.

  • BuckshotJ0nes Buckshot Jones 🦌👑 (@BuckshotJ0nes) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the freaking ship controls. I’m so sick of it going to the left when I’m trying to go straight.

  • RipperMasen Maseneidddd (@RipperMasen) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please fix the the game crash

  • imcarpetcruiser Carpetcruiser (@imcarpetcruiser) reported

    Anyone having issues with ultra long black screens/loading screens on the Seas lately? Today's sail was brutal with them. So irritating, every mermaid is more pain than usual. #SeaofThieves

  • DogheadRyan Ryan (@DogheadRyan) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Anyone else having trouble putting bait onto fishing rods since the update?

  • drycereal2 dry cereal (@drycereal2) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Instead of making items in the emporium that are late, you should maybe fix your game. Example, whenever anyone on console eats there frames drop by like 20. Another, HITREG! Your game is to good to have any of these bugs. it hurts to see a game like this just get more bugs. :(

  • Sethonfire2 MrReaper (@Sethonfire2) reported

    @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves need to fix the loading time spent on the while coming back from the ferry

  • gamesbycaleb caleb 🪓 (@gamesbycaleb) reported

    .@RareLtd's passion for sea of thieves is so dead now, literally stares at you in the face and the sot community is so ******* blind to it. Why are people defending updates that barely fix the game and only brings new content to their MTX store? #seaofthieves #bemorepirate

  • ClutchKorn Anthony Hernandez (@ClutchKorn) reported

    @SeaOfThieves has an annoying glitch where you can’t open your item wheel and you have to kill yourself to fix it.. it takes really long to drown.

  • 8BitHero4 8BitHero (@8BitHero4) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I’m not pirate legends but my friends are but they don’t have the song to open the hideout. Is there a way to fix this?

  • Downfall32_ Downfall Gaming (@Downfall32_) reported

    I was so sad that @seaofthieves crashed last night... after I did the update to fix “game crashes” my game never crashed before that....

  • EllisTheBean evil witch (@EllisTheBean) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves noticed an issue today during a Lost Shipment Quest in which after leaving the shipwreck after opening the captain's room (but not taking all of the crates out), upon returning to the wreck we were unable to re-enter the captain's room though the doorway was open

  • Laxxor Paul Eden (@Laxxor) reported

    No idea what to stream tonight since #SeaOfThieves is still giving me #daffodilbeard error and I have no idea how to fix it. Will decide closer to 10pm (GMT) what / if I stream... @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves

  • Chris_NYI8 Chris (@Chris_NYI8) reported

    Brooooooo @SeaOfThieves fix your ******* servers

  • _Gnarrr_ Gnarrr (@_Gnarrr_) reported

    @Zero_Demon_King @AbdullahAlkaa2i @SeaOfThieves Read my previous tweet lmao. There are obviouy underlying issues within some of their systems. Causing them to continuously break. Pushing a patch that just isnt ready is unacceptable. Tighter team deadlines and contentlocks to preserve game stability should be number 1.

  • _Gnarrr_ Gnarrr (@_Gnarrr_) reported

    @Zero_Demon_King @AbdullahAlkaa2i @SeaOfThieves In their modified version of UE 4. Cause these problems have been happening for months. If you slap on some spaghetti code, it does indeed break. Again. And again. (2/2)

  • Aleks_Yef_95 aleksandr why (@Aleks_Yef_95) reported

    @SeaOfThieves yall gotta fix ur issue with griefers and freaking 12 year old players. More then half are greifers and are toxic turds.

  • ToddAndChips ToddAndChips (@ToddAndChips) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Not until you fix the launch crash bug

  • ThisIsNotJFK Name cannot be blank (@ThisIsNotJFK) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Fishhook_Cook Fix the game

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @thisernesto @NayfePacewell @SeaOfThieves It would be fine if they actually addressed issues instead of letting them fester & get worse

  • bruh51730065 bruh (@bruh51730065) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I don’t know if this already an issue you guys are aware of but Athena emissaries aren’t working. When you touch items they don’t give you progress towards grade 5.

  • _Gnarrr_ Gnarrr (@_Gnarrr_) reported

    @Zero_Demon_King @AbdullahAlkaa2i @SeaOfThieves I know how code works. But they gotta have some kind of consistent workflow to push out quality patches. There's to this day still a lot of memory leak issues. Running UE4 4.8 is outdated. This is Rare's first UE game, but they'll have to look at some of the Rendering issues (1/2

  • Rkoz73 Nobody (@Rkoz73) reported

    @Be35Iuri @SeaOfThieves I feel you on this. Had a dude who apparently saw me before my screen even loaded, by time I got out of the load screen I was just seeing myself dead again. I think they'll never fix it, pretty sure the devs love the Trolls.

  • XboxMik29 Ⓜ️ik29🏴‍☠️ (@XboxMik29) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support me and @Stipe831 are on a early morning sot session and we're getting the dreaded HAZELNUT BEARD errors again. 😕

  • kerr_griffin Griffin Kerr (@kerr_griffin) reported

    @Zero_Demon_King @BrodeRepicky @SeaOfThieves My Pings at 30. My frames are locked at 120. I don't experience this in any other game. Can't just say: "It's lagging so no fix." I love this game, but it's terribly optimised.

  • Dsvy5 Dsvy (@Dsvy5) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves fix Athena’s emissary pls! Thx not giving rep when picking up Athena items

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves Lol even with the standard issue "Thieves" argument. It's funny because you say it like I don't know the name of the game I've been playing 3 years, but really it's you who doesn't understand the name.

  • Arkpit Ark (@Arkpit) reported

    @SeaOfThieves We are getting massive DC's all across the crew and loot just despawning, you guy having trouble with servers?

  • EchonyJoe EchonyJoe (@EchonyJoe) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Fishhook_Cook How about you fix the broken parts of the game before adding more stuff
