    @icklenellierose @SeaOfThieves Yeah so I discovered I had this same issue but with the security cams on self checkout at Asda.

  • Chris_NYI8 Chris (@Chris_NYI8) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Are there issues with servers the last few days? Myself and friends struggle to join a server, takes minimum 10 minutes.

  • Lukathy95 Luke Morris (@Lukathy95) reported

    @Capren3 @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Everyone is complaining about them mate... I don't understand how they're so bad. You can't do much without being lagged out of your mind. If you aren't getting thrown about the ship, you're getting thrown off it & people are lagging around really bad which makes it unplayable

  • blackren101 Ren (@blackren101) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Please fix the invisible water glitch!

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Prestom16 @Demon5379 @SeaOfThieves Well part of your problem there is that I'm not complaining about pvp lol.

  • Scott_Careyy Carey (@Scott_Careyy) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I'm getting Lavenderbeard error. Any Fix?

  • SlashThread Stinky communist trash cat (@SlashThread) reported

    @SeaOfThieves "We're coming in hot!" "Anchor stop?" "........... um..... maybe? Maybe not...." *CRASH* "Naw we're good."

  • RobinPM100 RobinPM100 (@RobinPM100) reported

    @SeaOfThieves guys, can you fix screen tearing in Sea of thieves Xbox Series X 4k 60 fps? It is horrible! Does this AMD graphics chip handle adaptive vsync? Do something about it, thanks

  • WaTsNoTgUdD WaTs (@WaTsNoTgUdD) reported

    @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Yeah at times. But I'm on xbox so I'm not sure if I experience the same problems as pc players

  • 2DownGaming Geovanie Legend (@2DownGaming) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Log entries are lagging behind by minutes to even an hour or more, perhaps refresh the servers or figure out whats going on??

  • Aliquem Aliquem (@Aliquem) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Only VRChat folks will get this one :P If a sloop like that sailed up to you, expect it to lag you hard and possibly disconnect you from a server as it shot beach ***** at you.

  • rcasale42 Bellicose (@rcasale42) reported

    @EddieThe_Bear @suchatilter @SeaOfThieves I liked this sail a lot. They should fix hit reg.

  • EddieThe_Bear Eddie Kvammen (@EddieThe_Bear) reported

    @THESEAMOBBOSS @suchatilter @SeaOfThieves I don't notice this often enough to call it "It's really bad". But it's clear that a lot of people are having issues with it. But at this point, don't you agree that they're most likely VERY AWARE of it and are trying to fix it? If it was easy, it would already be done.

  • JoshIsBB Laird of Lochaber (@JoshIsBB) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Allmondbeard trouble, yall got any tips?

  • AA___2424 Andy Alvarez (@AA___2424) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Of course I would, and that’s the problem with this concept. PvPers will have nothing to do, reapers bones will be a nightmare to finish, and anything resembling a challenge to PvEers will be gone.

  • TheDrKrazy DrKrazy PHD in Trickery (@TheDrKrazy) reported

    Hey @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support I am having long "Searching the Seas" load times on #XboxSeriesX is this a Xbox issue or SoT issue?? @XboxSupport

  • josemb21 jose (@josemb21) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @dlalastudios I can’t load into a private crew , it stays stuck on “searching the seas” , I can join open crew though. I know it was a problem in the past but I haven’t seen anything about this recently. Anyone have the same problem and know how to fix it ?

  • callmeElkorn 前島の無法者 Marxist Mini Painter (@callmeElkorn) reported

    @boardgameyogi @SeaOfThieves I have a problem as well but that problem is that I am not playing sea of thieves.

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @emilyyjadee_ @SeaOfThieves @MmmCherryade Lol no the problem isn't mine. It's yours. You are one acting like the only possible player interaction that counts as such is attacking each other. It's common in those who came late, followed streamers to the game. That's not what SoT started as.

  • Haihefa5 Haihefa (@Haihefa5) reported

    @SeaOfThieves are the servers down? website says everything is up. but i keep getting ''Lavenderbeard''

  • PapaJuggernaut1 PapaJuggernaut1 (@PapaJuggernaut1) reported

    Anyone else getting a lot of @SoT_Support network errors on @Xbox? #SeaOfThieves wont load, load then cant match up, wont match then crashes...

  • WoodOxen WoodOx (@WoodOxen) reported

    @Taaaaamas @SeaOfThieves I kinda want the whole ship to give off the air of " how the heck is that broken monstrosity afloat and sailing?" Not sure why I want a junker ship but I think it's a fun aesthetic.

  • XboxMik29 Ⓜ️ik29🏴‍☠️ (@XboxMik29) reported

    @SeaOfThieves QoL patches? I'm still getting stuck on the Searching the Seas screen and loads of Hazelnut Beard errors whilst playing. 🤞🤞

  • MadHouseGameing The_Hatter (@MadHouseGameing) reported

    @Lorenz_Sinclair @SeaOfThieves Well good, cause I just got into the game, worst thing is to come into a live service game thats at the end of it's life

  • EddieThe_Bear Eddie Kvammen (@EddieThe_Bear) reported

    @suchatilter @SeaOfThieves They're aware of it. They would fix it if it was easy to fix. Invent an original comment/opinion and I might listen to you.

  • T_xLadyLunax Luna 🦄 (@T_xLadyLunax) reported

    Anyone else getting a servers are down for maintenance error? @SeaOfThieves

  • XboxMik29 Ⓜ️ik29🏴‍☠️ (@XboxMik29) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @dlalastudios @SoT_Support there seems to be alot of people in here that haven't received the cosmetics, myself included. Is there a known issue? Thanks. 👍

  • TheSnackCake Alrighty (@TheSnackCake) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix whatever’s going on. Taking 20 minutes to get into a game and lagging out of servers #SeaofThieves

  • AA___2424 Andy Alvarez (@AA___2424) reported

    @Demon5379 @SeaOfThieves There’s two solutions to that problem, deal with it or stop playing. There is PvP in this game so if you don’t like that, this clearly isn’t the game for you.

  • suchatilter Jake Peralta (@suchatilter) reported

    @EddieThe_Bear @SeaOfThieves İ'm not going anywhere until they fix that problem...
