  • NR_CAUSTIC NR_CAUSTIC (@NR_CAUSTIC) reported

  • IHaveHerpes8 Future Spider07 (@IHaveHerpes8) reported

    @bgoosh2013 @SeaOfThieves Fix your ******* xbox

  • Sir_radington Rad_knight (@Sir_radington) reported

    @RilGames @Bosstonez @SeaOfThieves again. FOUR. YEARS. captaincy was announced before the game even launched, unless rare's dumbest programmer was working on this update single handedly there shouldn't be many bugs to fix. i'd check on the insider version to prove this, but i'm lazy and it'd be under NDA anyways

  • CrankyGamerDad CrankyGamerDad (@CrankyGamerDad) reported

    @Fishhook_Cook @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves Had that problem for a few weeks now. Lost a ship because of it once.

  • ChloeSauras ChloeSaurasCrafts🦖🖌 (@ChloeSauras) reported

    @Fishhook_Cook @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I've been having the same problems, was playing yesterday doing a Treasury and I got kicked twice and crew members did too. Another time was Tuesday and crew member was about to board a gally and got kicked too.

  • TheMiniFish7 Minifish (@TheMiniFish7) reported

    @Fishhook_Cook @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves I've been having that same problem. It started roughly when I set up my co.puter so I thought it might be that. But even when other games run fine sea of thieves still kicks me randomly. Weird.

  • misnput Misnput (@misnput) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Make season 8 bug focused. Fix hit reg mainly and other ****. This will bring back so many players who stopped playing because of the game's instability. Sure let your artitsts work on new stuff in the meantime, but for once actually focus on fixing what you haven’t for 4 years.

  • yosh_wosh BlackByrd (@yosh_wosh) reported

    @RavenMcFierce @hurricanerules3 @SeaOfThieves I think tbat just might be the hit reg issue

  • StevieGND Steven Galan (@StevieGND) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Loot causes lag. This will make it harder to defend your boat.

  • Cirqix David (@Cirqix) reported

    @SeaOfThieves For the love of all that is good. Revive your game by making Galleons a 5 man ship, they are way too big for 4 people. Too many cannons, 3 floors on a ship, too many holes to fix for 4 people, too much space to run and fix the sails. Make the galleon a 5 man ship at least!!!

  • Layz1978 Lay (@Layz1978) reported

    @SeaOfThieves FIX THE GAME I KEEP CRASHING!

  • fashy sorry, just saw this (@fashy) reported

    @RavenMcFierce @hurricanerules3 @SeaOfThieves 100% of the time that happens, it is not 2 pirates standing still on land. Stop blaming players for the fact that online PvP combat inside a giant physics simulation is an extremely hard problem.

  • yosh_wosh BlackByrd (@yosh_wosh) reported

    @ValpoEaly @SeaOfThieves Ngl man, if you dont participate in pvp youll never get better to defend your ship. Adding a pve option will bring with it a bunch problems. Like what if someone steals your loot and you cant kill them to get it back?. Or set fire to your ship and sink you but you survive. Etc

  • Daynemog DayneMagus (@Daynemog) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Take your time. Rather have a quality update than a rushed one with broken features ⚓

  • Willsy145 Willzy (@Willsy145) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I love going through a voyage just to have the game crash on the way to the vault.. fun game! Cant wait to waste more time

  • d71473613 d (@d71473613) reported

    @SeaOfThieves bro please fix the pve spawn rates, there's so many enemies the game is borderline unplayable at times

  • valorl3ss fhdfjyrsxbjydd (@valorl3ss) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Will there be a stability update with this? I missed that last story event that just ended because every time I got close to the first island you're supposed to go to the game would hard crash, it still crashes with a fresh install too...

  • IMDingBop laaaaa (@IMDingBop) reported

    @SeaOfThieves There is also a problem of noob players accusing players like me who did nothing but Arena everyday for 6-12 hours of “hacking”.

  • IHaveHerpes8 Future Spider07 (@IHaveHerpes8) reported

    @bgoosh2013 @SeaOfThieves Fix your ******* xbox

  • NR_CAUSTIC NR_CAUSTIC (@NR_CAUSTIC) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Crash server xbox!!!!!!!

  • knglover Knglover (@knglover) reported

    @SeaOfThieves A game that doesn't crash on me every 5 minutes

  • Layz1978 Lay (@Layz1978) reported

    @SeaOfThieves why does my game keep crashing? I thought the update fixed the crashing? I’m glad the new update was pushed back. NOW FIX THE GAME!

  • IIMikezII Michael Lloyd (@IIMikezII) reported

    @InsaneSpyro @SeaOfThieves @JoeNeate1 You agreed to an NDA when you signed up to Insiders, by discussing this outside of the Insiders Forums you have just broken that agreement. You gotta be more careful with these things.

  • thejizel TheJizel (@thejizel) reported

    @Bosstonez @Thee__Goose @SeaOfThieves The problem is Rare will both push it back AND release it with bugs.

  • yuki54904442 yuki (@yuki54904442) reported

    @Fishhook_Cook @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves i rarely have that problem, tho it has been getting more frequent lately

  • Fishhook_Cook Fishhook Cook (@Fishhook_Cook) reported

    We've been kicked from the game multiple times a session for the last couple days, one of which was extremely poorly timed and frustrating. Anyone else having this problem or are my servers cursed? @SoT_Support @SeaOfThieves

  • SancteT Sancte tenebris (@SancteT) reported

    @SeaOfThieves is sea of thieves still a thing? All I hear from your players is how bad your servers lag.

  • Joe88019056 Joe (@Joe88019056) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the game from crashing every hour

  • NR_CAUSTIC NR_CAUSTIC (@NR_CAUSTIC) reported

    1 hour Gaming, 10 crash! Thanks @SeaOfThieves @Xbox
