Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ChinaPadre Padres CCP (@ChinaPadre) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Maybe soon add a feature that if I crash/disconnect and if I rejoin (within a certain time period) I won’t loose my captaincy?

  • Archangelzak Archangelzak (@Archangelzak) reported

    @smiddlehurst @firevexx11 @SeaOfThieves Check to see if you have you gamertags or crew names off in the settings that might be the issue

  • diehard_live DieHard LIVE (DAD, Gamer, Streamer) (@diehard_live) reported

    really had it with the menu bug on PC @RareLtd on #SeaOfThieves making it REALLY hard to #BeMorePirate should not need a controller to open a barrel and back away to fix this...

  • Mellimusic Ballroom Fitz (@Mellimusic) reported

    @SeaOfThieves My game keeps crashing at the main menu after the update even after a full reinstall- is this a common issue?

  • bootycup_ Bootycup_ (@bootycup_) reported

    @imnamedaj @MistuhMarz @SeaOfThieves Not sure what that even means.. no one can say why they are so offended over this post. Does BLM have a trademark over this? Do you think this is mocking the movement? Do you think this suppresses the issue at hand? What exactly is it?

  • CloverPurple clover (@CloverPurple) reported

    @SeaOfThieves ontop of that, 2500 PER FISH. Not fish type, per fish. 2500 Ruby Splashtails, 2500 Sunny Splashtails... for ALL fish. Rethink the numbers and fix this insanity.

  • Kyleia Kyleia loves indie games! (@Kyleia) reported

    So, we lost an entire crate of ships, our map bundle, our flag, and a bunch of other stuff when we tried to reset loot tonight. It just POOFED into thin air. Anyone else have this issue in @SeaOfThieves ?

  • insanitysanty insanitysanty 🇺🇾 ♿ (@insanitysanty) reported

  • ttocs_yttam Matthew Scott (@ttocs_yttam) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I’ve been experiencing this problem for a LONG time but just thought I’d give this a shot. Every time I load in to the game, none of my skins are equiped. I have to spend 5 mins every single time, walking around equipping my skins.. Please help, I needs fix haha

  • XRayLexx XRayLexx (DTW) (@XRayLexx) reported

    Anyone else having issues with Gamechat since the update? Keep having to go Party Chat but I prefer Game Chat #SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support

  • Sykronic_ Sykronic ✨ (@Sykronic_) reported

    @Fare_Thee_Well_ @SeaOfThieves this new "feature" is so broken lol

  • Treefittytwo Monkey Monkey (@Treefittytwo) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Trinkets are lagging the game. Please give us the ability to disable them. Also 6 ships?

  • DayKahDos ⭐️boy Saka (@DayKahDos) reported

    @DevilMayYeet @SeaOfThieves I would say it’s simply a skill issue, but it seems to be a bit more than just that. Sounds like your buddy has a losing mindset if he just gives up when things don’t go his way the first time trying something new 🥱

  • sleezyg sleezyg (@sleezyg) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I bought my sloop, and then paid to save my set-up. However after my 1st play session the only thing that saved was the sail, and the cannon effect. Is this a know problem? I don't want to pay 30,000 more in gold only for it not to save again.

  • TheYammyOfc Yammy (@TheYammyOfc) reported

    @IIMikezII @SeaOfThieves You're missing the point. I am choosing to grind the later trophies and cosmetics for my captains cabin out later. But the fact the rewards are TIERED is the crux of the issue. The BASE trophies should be far less of a grind IMO than the later ones.

  • s_cowpert Scott (@s_cowpert) reported

    @Kyleia @SeaOfThieves We had a bunch of issues, server was extremely glitchy. If you harpooned something out of someone's hand it would just float there.

  • Bas82571777 lastig mannetje 🇳🇱 (@Bas82571777) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Since I got shut down on the main suggestions forum ! Fix the issue with CHINESE HACKERS ! Your game only has complicated report systems ! Your game has no region selection. Chinese servers are out of controll Exclude taiwanese players from Chinese servers !

  • ttocs_yttam Matthew Scott (@ttocs_yttam) reported

    @SeaOfThieves yo I’ve been having this problem for a real long time but and starting to get sick of just dealing with it. Whenever I load into a game, none of my skins are auto equipped. I have to waste 5 mins equipping everything, literally every single time I play. Pls help??

  • lennaattor Lennaattor (@lennaattor) reported

    @SeaOfThieves just bought the game for 40€ and 5 out of 6 times i try to play i get kiwibeard error

    @ColourMeFun @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd It's time for trouble....

  • willcraft13 Will (@willcraft13) reported

    @HeyItsAustin_ @SeaOfThieves @JoeNeate1 I dont think the backrounds are the problem “season seven” just sounds too boring. They should bring back the cool names

  • JulianFuchs15 DichterNox (@JulianFuchs15) reported

    @SotVirgin @StormesVR @SeaOfThieves Is there a problem with using the sword

  • JoeFlo11 BOOMERjose (@JoeFlo11) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I am having soo much trouble thinking of a name for my ship

  • IAmThatch William Thatch (@IAmThatch) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Why does the captaincy not transfer to the next crew mate joined when the original captain leaves? This seems poorly thought out if someone has a network error or has to leave to run an errand but rejoins the same session.

  • MarioToo MarioToo (@MarioToo) reported

    @BrionnePerson @SeaOfThieves Yea, until you’ve had your entire ship reset multiple times. Then it’s 40,000 plus each time. I refuse to save anything else to my ship until they’ve fixed the issue.

  • MassaCorbin Corbin Macklin (@MassaCorbin) reported

    @DreadedDripp @SeaOfThieves @Rare I got 99 problems, they're all geysers and volcanoes

  • IAM_UND3F1N3D {UND3F1N3D} (@IAM_UND3F1N3D) reported

    @Rathbaume @YboGhs @SeaOfThieves There will always be players like this regardless, it's inevitable and that's fine. The problem with these rewards is that some milestones are so unnecessarily hard that you basically have to do them like this if you ever hope to acquire them.
