    @xoxoKaralee @SeaOfThieves I had this problem when playing on my laptop at first mostly due to the low FPS on that machine. Just took some time to get used to. I’d recommend sacrificing what we you can in order to keep a high FPS with that game specially. From there it’s just getting adjusted.

    @SeaOfThieves Hello, I recently buying the game on Steam, wanting to play again to SoT and when I log in, I choose to log in to my Windows Hello account and it says : "We had a problem authenticating you. Please try again." If you had a solution, I would thank you very much.

    @SeaOfThieves Hello team, I'm in india, currently trying to login to to the game, it says server is under maintenance (Time - 8:50 IST). Two of my friends are able to login though. Username: MugiwaraVettri

    @SeaOfThieves The boat just flipped fix your game

  • Nox13last Noxedwin Tepes ⛧ (@Nox13last) reported

    Man, I remembered why @SeaOfThieves is such a bad game. I enjoyed playing it, but the game's still broken and the community's still horribly toxic. Rare either just doesn't *get it*, or they're making an effort to ignore the easy solutions that might ameliorate the big complaints

    Does #SeaOfThieves crash for anyone trying to swim down to the pearl?! Cz it keep crashing on me 😦😢😭

    @xpiercedandmod1 @SeaOfThieves Managed - barely - to get through the second tall tale last night, but the hot fix this morning doesn’t seem to have done anything for starting the 3rd tall tale.

  • ambassadorsgra1 AmbassadorsGrave (@ambassadorsgra1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why is the latest hot fix still insanely buggy...

    @anniekhuffman @SeaOfThieves Log out and back in of your Microsoft account, that should fix it ;)

  • werewookiee 🖱⌨Mickey Bennet❎☁🎮 (@werewookiee) reported

    Are Tales 3-5 in @SeaOfThieves Pirate's Life as embarrassingly broken as Tale 2? That was the worst gaming experience I've had in years.

  • smashleemonster Ashlee Wilson (@smashleemonster) reported

    @SeaOfThieves not going to lie the fact that we can't work on the commendations for Sunken Pearl and pvp in tall tale causing a glich! This is becoming very very frustrating and I can't even report the issue. Fix your game man

  • LilVintage666 Lil Vintage (@LilVintage666) reported

    @SeaOfThieves fix your game Holy, you said you fixed the ADS bug but I jus got it in combat and it’s worse then before now it jus randomly happens

  • RayJDudley Ray Dudley (@RayJDudley) reported

    @arianaromo @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves Please fix this! I wasted a good amount of time trying to go back and get this achievement only for the chest to disappear again.

  • imnotgeoff imnotgeoff (@imnotgeoff) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support So I have an issue where the chest of sorrow despawns when heading to the door, tried to see if if it reappeared on the ship but it literally just vanishes

  • SamBrew15058901 Captain Blackheart (@SamBrew15058901) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I so far had one glitch at tall tale 2

  • Buku_Bidackski Buku Bidackski (@Buku_Bidackski) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Top tip, don't try to use a gun to kill another pirate, with all the content they pumped out to get you here, they have completely broken combat. Just grab a sword close your eyes and swing swing swing.

  • Valor_Omega_SoT Valor Omega (@Valor_Omega_SoT) reported

    @FadingMonkey420 @SeaOfThieves Literally? I think not. I had zero issues.

  • CadeGonzalez1 Cade W,A, Gonzalez (@CadeGonzalez1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I’m having a glitch where if I resume the sunken pearl tall tale chapter 3 the mermaid statues are locked and I can’t use them

  • llysistrataa lsyi. (@llysistrataa) reported

    @ateex99 @SeaOfThieves Look up “sea of thieves obsidianbeard” and it should tell you what your issue is.

  • NotYourTadpole Malibu Orange (@NotYourTadpole) reported

    @arianaromo @SeaOfThieves I'm having the same issue and literally wasted hours, since I tried it three times, but the result is always the same: despawn. guess we have to wait until it gets fixed 😭

  • anubis316 Anubis316 🏳️‍🌈 (@anubis316) reported

    Oh dear @SeaOfThieves the latest hot fix I think has made me very buggy, walking is hard, I’m going all over the place
