Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • zigzagsx Zigzagsx (@zigzagsx) reported

    @cornnsot @SeaOfThieves @nokidhungry So they shouldn’t fix a broken game because that’s hard to do. Adding an owl because some obnoxious streamer with owl in their name demands clout on Twitter though, yea that should be easy enough. Right.

  • BaconAn39742168 BaconAndEggs (@BaconAn39742168) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can you please show us veteran pirates some respect and stop copying and pasting your hot reg known issues message. It really goes to show that there is no intention to fix it and that hurts.

  • ExTiiNcTiiioN Curtis Poe (@ExTiiNcTiiioN) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix the hit reg this is stupid I’m about to stop playing the game

  • zigzagsx Zigzagsx (@zigzagsx) reported

    @stevent2002 @SeaOfThieves @nokidhungry Of course hitreg isn’t an issue when you don’t hit your shots and the absurd hitbox on the sword is the only reason you can occasionally defend your ship. A pet is literally only good for communicating in arena and we have enough in the emporium already.

  • RenRenDeLittle Ren Ren (@RenRenDeLittle) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fixing accommodations I hope cause I have an issue I don’t quite understand

  • ExTiiNcTiiioN Curtis Poe (@ExTiiNcTiiioN) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @nokidhungry Fix the hit reg this is stupid

  • thyReaperMC Reaper 💀 (@thyReaperMC) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Like, 50? It's not beating the fleet, it's being able to harpoon the loot in time. ...Solo sloop problems.

  • LyndsayL18 Lyndsay L (@LyndsayL18) reported

    @1Chenzo @SeaOfThieves That isnt even the the largest issue, either way, clearly. But do you.

  • PcflWtrs Tasha s (@PcflWtrs) reported

    @SeaOfThieves The arena server is not working. We’ve been trying to play on a gally on Xbox servers we’ve been waiting to set sail for 45 mins. I’m assuming ur servers are down ?

  • vi_thunder thunder (@vi_thunder) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @nokidhungry Are the servers down? For some reason i'm stuck on "Searching the seas..." and i restarted my computer twice and restarted the game countless times

  • LyndsayL18 Lyndsay L (@LyndsayL18) reported

    @1Chenzo @SeaOfThieves You are right. You can technically do everything, but you are also being severely disadvantaged as a solo. I wish I either had 1) less social anxiety 2) friends who can play. Since I can't get around that, I gotta leave. Too many broken hearted nights.

  • OwletinSoT 🎃wlet (@OwletinSoT) reported

    @zigzagsx @SeaOfThieves @nokidhungry Hope they just h it the fix hit reg button

  • cornnsot cornnsot (@cornnsot) reported

    @zigzagsx @SeaOfThieves @nokidhungry adding an owl is 1000 times easier than fixing hitreg, if fixing hitreg was as easy as adding an owl you would never have experienced ur shots not doing damage because it would never have been an issue

  • ChrystalWind Chrystal Wind (@ChrystalWind) reported

    @zigzagsx @SeaOfThieves Yes because requesting an instant fix to hitreg nonstop despite them already still working on fixing it isn't obnoxious at all. Hypocrite.

  • Alegendkiller16 Alexandru Carjan (@Alegendkiller16) reported

    @austinmblair @SeaOfThieves Welll that is your problem, everybody got a 24 hour warning yesterday and then 1 hour warning today

  • bigbananatheory Ivy the Banana (@bigbananatheory) reported

    @vi_thunder @SeaOfThieves @nokidhungry Yeah, servers had issues yesterday. But it should have been resolved in the meantime :)

  • iarepilot ♏edium Dave🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺 (@iarepilot) reported

    @clifd0g @JdizzleMizzle27 @SeaOfThieves No, currently you have PvP, PvPvE, and PvE players all mixed together, none getting exactly what they want, espc. PvE. PvE servers solves that issue & PvP + PvPvE players can carry on as before - no one is saying to NOT have the current mode TOO.

  • aCsurilla_ Alyssa (@aCsurilla_) reported

    If my ship randomly disappears from thin air and I lose my emissary status one more time I’m gonna 🤬🤯 I’ll be just sailing the seas and it spontaneously combusts! Fix it!!! @SoT_Support #SeaofThieves #SOT

  • pencil_fox Erin (@pencil_fox) reported

    @J2BALLS @SeaOfThieves I even survived the super barrel cause I was swimming after him and I watching it go off right next to him and no dmg or death, even as my crewmates further from the blast dropped dead. They seriously need to fix the bugs and tighten down on hackers

  • ChrystalWind Chrystal Wind (@ChrystalWind) reported

    @zigzagsx @SeaOfThieves Where are your statistics of the game dying? I keep running into brand new players every day. Also, hitreg isn't even THAT big of an issue. Sure, it's annoying as hell but there's more than one way to smack a ***** on the Seas. If my shots fail, my blunderbombs still work FINE!

  • kore_virus Kore Virus (@kore_virus) reported

    @PapaJuggernaut1 @SeaOfThieves I w0nder if it fix when going in or out of a barrel

  • KvdenDillon Kvden (@KvdenDillon) reported

    @BleedGreen902 @SeaOfThieves having the same issue

  • BaconAn39742168 BaconAndEggs (@BaconAn39742168) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Can you please show us veteran pirates some respect and stop copying and pasting your hit reg known issues message. It really goes to show that there is no intention to fix it and that hurts.

  • Phantaxus Phantaxus 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@Phantaxus) reported

    @IllBushido305 @betta_rdr2 @SeaOfThieves It is not gone, it is still in there, only its now been added to the same list that has broken hit registration in it. So I guess it is not being fixed anytime soon

  • MattTheCopyCat Matthew Durden (@MattTheCopyCat) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Wait a minute, isn’t that the pirate legend hideout in the picture? Are they trying to fix the ship right’s ship? @Captain_Falcore

  • cold_suit Cold-Suit (@cold_suit) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @nokidhungry Why are the servers down?

  • SheilaMGraham1 Sheila M Graham (@SheilaMGraham1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves you need to do a hot fix for pc. The controls won’t work

  • Travis67142308 Travis (@Travis67142308) reported

    @Xanthicirs @SeaOfThieves @nokidhungry If you don’t see the problem with what you said I feel for you

  • l_Snapper_l Snapper (@l_Snapper_l) reported

    @STiastin @SeaOfThieves If you server merge there is a high chance your bucket will randomly stop scooping or throwing out water even if it shows the animations. It’s a big problem in arena

  • Mozzla_ Dylan (@Mozzla_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Still no fix on the daily deed favour bug
