Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • UG_SIRFREE 썰프리 (@UG_SIRFREE) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix this game bug You don't fix bugs for a long time. Hit error, error that does not take damage even if you hit the enemy with a weapon, please... If you still can't fix this error, can you say that the game design is wrong? If you don't have the ability, call another developer

  • zOConnxr z Joca (@zOConnxr) reported

    @birdsurvivor1 @SeaOfThieves But my issue is that it has got way worse. I'd take the hit reg 2 years ago over the mess its in now any day!

  • Grogyy2 Grogyy (@Grogyy2) reported

    @BoiBitty @demonic135 @SeaOfThieves yeah why fix the games biggest bug right?? its prob not even that bad, just hit ur shotz.

  • IZEDxI ized (@IZEDxI) reported

    @Rolle59475986 @Luke92300159 @SeaOfThieves Never had issues getting in after an update though

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Indeed, I am sure such an awful idea from a PVP player as you seem like it, will never happen to this game. It'll only cause problems, so why would they bother adding it? :)

  • 1rebmunynroH 1ynroH (@1rebmunynroH) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so I got sea of thieves on steam to play, it appears I can’t talk with anyone and they can’t talk to me, is there a fix to this

  • notaspaceship SMW (@notaspaceship) reported

    @hunter_hendy @SeaOfThieves Surely more on the ship would cause the same issue though?

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Nthn3b @SeaOfThieves 1. Adventure did just fine with arena, the way servers work means split issue has never actually been valid. 2. I think you over estimate how many people would not want to do events/Athena/emissary/FoTD. Everyone who does would have to do it in adventure. TBC...

  • MmmCherryade Cherryade (@MmmCherryade) reported

    @HalfGearrod @Lukathy95 @SeaOfThieves Woah nelly calm down.. come and tell us your problems

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Nthn3b @SeaOfThieves 3. Servers are a non issue. Rare is MS first party and using MS azure cloud, they can spin up and down servers on demand. 4. As I said, high value gold earning would only be on adventure and you can't steal from those pve and need basic voyagers and fishers that's your problem

  • birdsurvivor1 Avian (@birdsurvivor1) reported

    @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves If we subtract a Year due to Covid, then yes, it still sounds bad, but think about it, if it is taking them so long to fix this Issue, then they may haven´t even found out where the Issue lies. Once they figure it out, it won´t take too long, but it doesn´t happen magically

  • birdsurvivor1 Avian (@birdsurvivor1) reported

    @Voidova_0 @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves As I said, it´s clearly a bigger Issue. No Dev in their right Mind would ignore such an Issue for so long. It takes a while, all we can do is wait. And yes, they were Major Updates, Ships of Fortune, Haunted Shores and Ashen Winds all came out within that Timeframe.

  • Nthn3b nei 🌙 (@Nthn3b) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Oh no, I think you misunderstood what I meant over my tweets. I'm just trying to show you that your arguments are invalid and pve servers are nothing but a pointless and awful idea, and such, it would only cause problems, that I can write down for you if you want. <3

  • TheAwfulWorld bored af (@TheAwfulWorld) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Hitregs fix ?

  • Your_Hero_420 Michael Liebau (@Your_Hero_420) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix the game you ******* cucks my **** is getting worse by the minute

  • SlooperSolo CrazyJuan (@SlooperSolo) reported

    @Blaze05620151 @ThomasLehpamer @SeaOfThieves Arena didn't crash and burn, its still there. The problem it had was the toxic pvp crowd. No reason to assume that a pve mode would suffer the same issues because its not for those players.

  • CourtneyMcmahon Courtney McMahon (@CourtneyMcmahon) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Could my game stop lagging me out please! My wifi is fine

  • PRS_Cajun #Cajun (@PRS_Cajun) reported

    @SeaOfThieves No new tall tale I take it. How about fixing the fast weapon swap glitch (exploit). I also thought you said you would never make it pay to win because you don’t want new players to be at a disadvantage.

  • LordBarkman Dillon L Doke 👨‍👩‍👧 🌎 (@LordBarkman) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Please give longer than a 15 minute warning next time when shutting your servers down come on man.....

  • Nthn3b nei 🌙 (@Nthn3b) reported

    @SlooperSolo @SeaOfThieves Noo, your arguments are invalid, not mine. You're trying to say PVE servers would be good but you have no arguments of why they would be good. I have plenty of them but they're problems. And don't tell me it would be good for pve players for god sake. A bit more research please.

  • Wowismm Woww (@Wowismm) reported

    @GunnarRhoads @SeaOfThieves the only thing i can see as a potential fix now is to uninstall and reinstall, and check the microsoft store for updates again.

  • bdube30 Benjamin Dubé (@bdube30) reported

    @Mr_Poodoo @SeaOfThieves Because it is a bit of a disadvantage for new/poor players. I think it would have been better to just put more default ressources on ship and offer one empty ressources crate when you login. But, I am not 100% against the buyable crate, I will wait a bit before judging

  • zOConnxr z Joca (@zOConnxr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Put the hit reg fix in the emporium, you'll make Millions trust me...

  • oli12758846 oli (@oli12758846) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Im having problems with my lb and rb functions on your game I change the key binds and nothing works

  • yuxkck alec (@yuxkck) reported

    @SeaOfThieves there is a glitch i play on low spec where every time i turn the steer instead of sounds it just beeps pls fix

  • zOConnxr z Joca (@zOConnxr) reported

    @birdsurvivor1 @Voidova_0 @SeaOfThieves I'm not doubting their hard work or the fact that other updates have been amazing, but hit registration in any combat game is one of the most important mechanics and as i double gun i notice this issue more than someone who doesn't. The hit reg in this game is unbelievably bad!

  • birdsurvivor1 Avian (@birdsurvivor1) reported

    @Voidova_0 @zOConnxr @SeaOfThieves More effective than Screaming at them over a Twitter Comment Section Covid has slowed down pretty much any and all Productivity, and the Fact Rare even published 9 Major Updates within Quarantine is great. I´d gladly wait til this **** is over for a Fix, if you don´t, that´s okay

  • mysticaalFNBR mysticaal. (@mysticaalFNBR) reported
