Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TheUrbanMenace TheMenace (@TheUrbanMenace) reported

    @iamtygrah @SeaOfThieves It’s a live game, a lot of changes can be made server-side, a client update would add new things but server-side can obviously fix current issues.

  • Latvian32 Roberts (@Latvian32) reported

    @Noobface @SeaOfThieves oh makes sense, but either way they desperatly need to fix that, hopefully this maintenance they will

  • DrSudi3 DrSudi (@DrSudi3) reported

    @Snuggy41943599 @Rervai @SeaOfThieves They are atleast trying. Hitreg is a problem in many FPS games, so it's obvious that not everyone has the same problemfixing like rare.

  • matyaszz matyaszz (@matyaszz) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Its still not working

  • DrSudi3 DrSudi (@DrSudi3) reported

    @Snuggy41943599 @Rervai @SeaOfThieves Yeah, but they know about the problem and I'm sure they try to fix this. But if it isn't fix than it most likely isn't the dev's fault, I am very sure UE4 is the problem there.

  • Ravensilver_yt Ravensilver (@Ravensilver_yt) reported

    @SeaOfThieves me and my friends started getting error code Lavender when starting up the game since the servers went down (and up again). Is this a server issue? We're on European servers. #plsdontbescurvy

  • hardway_jones Hardway Jones (@hardway_jones) reported

    @GavGav23152070 @SeaOfThieves @FelmemeSR It's not the same rune. This one is a complete diamond, the one the devs showed was a broken diamond.

  • Latvian32 Roberts (@Latvian32) reported

    @T10GOLDENGaming @Noobface @SeaOfThieves it doesnt crash, when you tab out even for a millisecond it just freezes for 2 seconds, completely, just sound stays

  • BoiBitty Bitty Boi (@BoiBitty) reported

    @tastream8 @SeaOfThieves Server related issues, not bug fix

  • Nichola41523482 Dodger Weaver (@Nichola41523482) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Making it easier for bad players. This game is going down the tube. Us Day 1ers get no love just more toxic noobs who troll the game to get their fix of daily nihilism. Way to go Rare

  • T10GOLDENGaming That cringe Youtuber (@T10GOLDENGaming) reported

    @Latvian32 @Noobface @SeaOfThieves Oh, I had the glitch where randomly whenever I’m at the new fort my game just crashes, or it just might be people booting me offline when I steal it but idk, sometimes 4 minutes after I steal one my game crashes so idk

  • IllBushido305 Bushido (@IllBushido305) reported

    @Shock70881584 @T10GOLDENGaming @SeaOfThieves People seem to always have this issue. Always buy your promotions.

  • memelordreese memelordreese (@memelordreese) reported

    @Noobface @SeaOfThieves They made the sea dog glitch an official feature

  • SimerWescley wescley simer (@SimerWescley) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SeaOfThieves Fix the tab out freezing on the Steam version please

  • BoiBitty Bitty Boi (@BoiBitty) reported

    @NikolasMatador @SeaOfThieves Server related issues, not bugfix

  • HarryGoss6 LifeLexus (@HarryGoss6) reported

    @SoT_Flameheart @smarioplayer200 @SeaOfThieves it’s all server related issues, so there will be no update when the servers come back on.

  • Ctp_Gallerine cat doing a juul (@Ctp_Gallerine) reported

    @Snay_DK @SeaOfThieves Not their problem tbf

  • Snuggy41943599 Snuggy (@Snuggy41943599) reported

    @DrSudi3 @Rervai @SeaOfThieves Well I already know there’s no point in arguing since anyone that actually does PvP would use this arguement. Yes hit reg exists in other games, but not to the extent of sea of thieves. It’s on a while new level of bad. I’m not saying it’s easy to fix but after at least 2 years

  • Sekkosakk Hådd (@Sekkosakk) reported

    @Justmy2cents11 @killzone1401 @SeaOfThieves Talking about ignorance.. "When i get home from work, the servers are overloaded." So there aren't EU servers or Asian servers on here? The EU servers were already loaded with players 4-5 hours ago when the servers came back up.. Yes, it HAS been a problem, but it ain't.

  • SwirlyWirley Blake Worley (@SwirlyWirley) reported

    Once again the good old @SeaOfThieves 3 sniper and 2 blunder hit reg consumed my sloop run. Black screen glitch yesterday. These players talk smack after I god shot every cannon ball, every mast shot, sniping these bums out of water. These bums can’t hang.

  • DrSudi3 DrSudi (@DrSudi3) reported

    @zOConnxr @Rervai @SeaOfThieves Btw I pvp'ed often, very often, Hell I've experienced hitreg problems, it is no dream but it is not the worst, you are just running behind big streamers hoping they they give u a sixpack code

  • Justmy2cents11 Justmy2cents (@Justmy2cents11) reported

    @Sekkosakk @killzone1401 @SeaOfThieves Exactly, it's not taking into account xbox players, the majority of the player base. Im going off experience not ignorance you fool. When i get home from work, the servers are overloaded. You must be a new player, this has been an on going problem nearly every single update/event

  • Chenzo55beta Logan Bassett (@Chenzo55beta) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Did you fix the bug where people can sink my ship while I’m taking a wee? Okay, it’s not really a bug but that’s bad etiquette

  • DannyLapadat Danny Lapadat (@DannyLapadat) reported

    @smarioplayer200 @SeaOfThieves Just be happy that they are trying to fix things lmao

  • iamtygrah Tygrah (@iamtygrah) reported

    @SeaOfThieves If there is no download, there is no fix.

  • cfeenixx Cacau Feenixx (@cfeenixx) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @XboxSupport Good night, you're still in trouble, I can't get online at forza horizon 4 3 weeks ago. do you have any predictions back? And if a refund of the days that we are not playing forza horaizon 4.

  • killzone1401 Killzone1401 (@killzone1401) reported

    @SeaOfThieves I’m expecting this one to be broken like the others, not giving any gold or rep.

  • AidanPr59429258 Aidan Price (@AidanPr59429258) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Has anyone else had an issue where they bought something and the game has taken it from you?

  • CapCabbagepatch Captain Cabbagepatch (@CapCabbagepatch) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @FortuneFinn Man I wish I could login and help with this

  • Ctp_Gallerine cat doing a juul (@Ctp_Gallerine) reported

    @Chenzo55beta @SeaOfThieves That's just not their problem you take 10 minutes to piss
