Sea of Thieves Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Wahzy (@Wahzy86) reported@SeaOfThieves Unplayable due to the constant lag spikes every 30 seconds or so. I heard it’s because of the fireworks at the outposts?
-
Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported@Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves That is what I mean by "not saying they are doing it correctly". First thing they should've done would've been put the people in question on leave until issues are pointed out. But then again, it's not the fault of most of the company. It's the fault of PR and also HR.
-
Juke (@JukstJuke) reported@RealLifeWookie @SeaOfThieves Same. I quit sot when they removed quickswap and made all combat clunky as a result of the fix, i will not come back to sot but i still follow the game, i played sot since 2018 until season 10 religiously, all my friends quit around that time too.
-
SickStyle Gaming (@SickstyleG) reported@SeaOfThieves @Minecraft They tried to but cheaters DDoS the server
-
Artist of Thieves (@ArtistofThieves) reported@surivSHANKS @ITZH4ZARD @SeaOfThieves The problem is not the orange association box, its the purple confirmed cheater box. No idea how they got that information though.
-
Matt (@Sloopflex) reportedI don’t make a lot of comments about sot issues but it is truly baffling to me how much the SoT community is blowing up right now and Rare is staying silent and dodging it. Action needs to be taken. Do better @SeaOfThieves and you need to FIRE @j0toro
-
Kittenspreee (@kittenspreee) reported@SeaOfThieves While we’re on the topic, why are we sticking to the outdated supply issues rather than adjusting their entire purchase method? Add a spawn location for items next to cannon barrels, just like tall tale items on the tables so purchases go there rather than fix the merchants.
-
꩜ Dreamcast Forever (@Nemesis2K) reportedLast ship standing just killed of my drive to "getting everything" in sea of thieves, that includes all the emporium items. I will now only play to unlock achievements as they are added. I am done. For that, I am thankful. @SeaOfThieves, forcing me to sit through 40+ minute queue times to get into a game with cheaters, I am just not doing it. Since this will be the first set of cosmetics since launch that have been obtainable to everyone in the player base I wont get, I see no reason to keep trying. The streak/curse has been broken, It was a good run. Now, back to Forza Horizon 6.
-
CaptainDarkseason (@CDarkseason) reported@SeaOfThieves Disappointing mess of a weekend. Dabloons not tracking or lagging hard. Text not showing on instructions. Rage inducing bilge rat tasks. Having to wait a whole day for a fireworks display to be at a certain outpost. The fishing was chill but pointless as no dabloons
-
ThatOneWidowmaker (@MaZu_iceTea) reported@ManVsMiniatures @SeaOfThieves Its written by their legal team not rare. They know how to phrase stuff without getting into more trouble. While I do agree, law wise their respond is sadly the only correct way.
-
W0ty (@W0ty__) reported@Lotus_Koril @SeaOfThieves @S0nicbob Right after i posted my innitial tweet, i got dm from countless of people telling me more stuff about this whole problem. But they are afraid to speak out, bcs they are scared to be canceled, or to lose their boatswains, hats, gloves....
-
Xyllius (@Xyllius) reported@Musks_a_cunt @KingHotdogPig @SeaOfThieves I would agree if the issue would be WITHIN the game, but this is OUTSIDE of the game mostly, on social channels. Again, cut-off people involved and close the discord server until things are solved. People that are responsible are mostly dangerous on these platforms.

Your local sigma pirate (@Sigma_SoT) reported@kalyaSot @SeaOfThieves Guess you have reading problems...
-
Ali Tahsin (@Tabaal90) reported@SeaOfThieves Firstly fix merchant achievements.. impossible to make explosive barrel achievemt...
-
Aid (@whypickname) reported@RealLifeWookie @SeaOfThieves Im sorry but for a love service game thats some real ****** numbers to pull during an event but you keep on sailing your sinking ship.
-
Eli Mayorga (@EliMayorga7) reported@SeaOfThieves You need to ******* fix PVP me and my friend are doing PVP and another ******* sloop that's not doing PVP come over and sinks us. How is this ******* fair when someone else comes over and ruins PVP FIX ******* PVP! @SeaOfThieves
-
Tidey (@tidseas) reported@Steep_Mini @SeaOfThieves Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
-
JonnyZoinkz (@Jonnyzoinkz) reported@SeaOfThieves @RareLtd Ah yes, only listen to the big streamers. That’ll fix the game 💀
-
Lynnalia (@LynnaliaTV) reported@fredder6489 @SeaOfThieves Epic does it to "dogfood" their own engine, showing it off and also finding development issues. Considering their scale, that has massive value. Rare has no such incentive, especially when the game already runs so poorly.
-
Potato (@Common_Potatos) reported@SeaOfThieves @XBOX Can you guys fix your connection issues in last ship standing.
-
Flyfishersteven (@flyfishersteven) reported@DBflx @SeaOfThieves Yes @SeaOfThieves this is a big frustrating issue with the flags not counting
-
OphieIRL (@OphieIRL) reportedHey, so, no. You didn't listen for years. Your community management team didn't do their jobs. Fire the people who failed the commu ity. Stop this virtue signaling bullshit and prove you recognize the problems by removing the people responsible. #seaofthieves #rare
-
BehavingBeardly (@BehavingBeardly) reported@knglover @SeaOfThieves This is what they want to fix! Player engagement/random encounters is KING in SoT
-
blvcklung (@real_blvcklung) reportedWith everything going on in the SoT community right now, it’s been really disappointing to see certain creators and familiar faces either show their true colours or stay completely silent, It’s honestly horrible seeing how broken parts of this community really are. #SeaOfThieves
-
Rodney Allstein (@A4285455594739) reported@SeaOfThieves Drew, you got a ton of things to fix
-
arditobn (@Giovann69642526) reported@KingHotdogPig @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Changing your profile picture and adding Star Citizen as a replacement game for Sot, hahaha. No one said Sot's conditions are great; in fact, S20 and up should have zero errors. But it doesn't do you credit to behave like this.
-
whxno (@GTRXAH) reported@SeaOfThieves @youtooz Fix ur game, harpooning me off a cannon shouldn’t glitch me to where I cant go back to the ferry after death and can’t use any weapons or items.
-
cold (@coldsot_) reported@hasmoq @SeaOfThieves The games not broken at all!
-
⚙️ (@d3monWo1f) reported@SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Same issue as last time. 2 months ago and still hasn’t been fixed. What’s going on over there. Embarrassing
-
SweetSandman (@SweetSandMan) reported@supermariopla11 @SeaOfThieves That's...that's not what's causing server performance to suck. Like at all. Preventing expansion of the game, maybe. But not server issues. If anything, high end PCs with uncapped FPS and/or max graphics cause more server strain. But even that isn't the underlying issue.
