Sea of Thieves Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • SoT_Support Sea of Thieves Info & Support (@SoT_Support) reported

    @DemiGores @SeaOfThieves Hi there. You should be able to set sail now. Are you encountering a specific beard error when you try to log in?

  • BrianP525 BrianP525 (@BrianP525) reported

    @Hitbotc @SeaOfThieves Ez choice. I understand new content is key to keeping casual players coming back, but I’d gladly skip a content update or two if the focus was solely to fix bugs/performance/server issues and hitreg. New content is 👍, and Rare crushes it, but it means nothing if it’s unplayable

  • vachaldo Vachaldo (@vachaldo) reported

    Would there be a problem to launch the 1st mission of Jack Sparrow? Because we are stuck in front of the 2nd loading portal allowing access to the quest... #SeaOfThieves

  • EMMOLATION_ EMMOLATION (@EMMOLATION_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Is something up with the servers? Trying to get in, but keep getting a Lavenderbeard error. Missed the last bit of the event because of this.

  • HeyDaddyPanda AmazingPandx (@HeyDaddyPanda) reported

    @SoT_Support I have red beard when I start @SeaOfThieves but you guys told me you don't see it on my account. But I can play it on cloud gaming but not the normal game. And no one at support will fix. I believe this is bug on your side with my account.

  • Ames10k Rowboat Ruby (@Ames10k) reported

    @Pharaoh_Rising @SeaOfThieves I'm on the east coast. Couldn't even get past all the beard errors until 4 30 pm anyway 🙄

  • degeezer2 degeezer2 (@degeezer2) reported

    @Nxah22 @ParkerStouffer1 @SeaOfThieves It’s a visual glitch I had it earlier twice just had to keep restarting which was annoying but I got my stuff back

  • AmberSweatpants Amber (@AmberSweatpants) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Some event. Not about the community at all since most couldn't play. On top of yall issues xbox had issues right afterwards but what do you guys care. Thats what I get for putting faith in a company not a game.

  • MoritzLanger3 Moritz Langer (@MoritzLanger3) reported

    @SoT_Support @DemiGores @SeaOfThieves yo guys, I had also issues n stuff but I really appreciate, that you answer questions n care about the problems.!!

  • EMMOLATION_ EMMOLATION (@EMMOLATION_) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Completely missed the last bit of the even because of a goddamned Lavenderbeard error.

  • little_lizard17 Little_lizard_metal (@little_lizard17) reported

    @shlonovic @SeaOfThieves I had a similar issue. Emissary didn’t raise, but when my ship got sunk the flag said grade 3. Then when we sold our loot, we never got any of the gold bonus, just the regular

  • yomomma91364091 yo momma (@yomomma91364091) reported

    @SeaOfThieves well so much for community day after trying to load for an hour solid just getting “we can’t connect you to the sea of thieves servers” i can’t buy quests or supplies, i can’t get stuff out of barrels, i can’t even pull out my equipment. please fix the servers!!!

  • 1_kulik 1Kulik (@1_kulik) reported

    @Nicolas_Iturri @SeaOfThieves I had no problems joining the servers. Maybe because I waited till you kids went sleeping. Or was just lucky. I guess you dont know the reason why the servers didnt work? The event was overhyped and they werent ready.

  • Gatorsaurus Spooky. 🎃 (@Gatorsaurus) reported

    @cha2t3r @KaijuFanaticc @SeaOfThieves The game would be broken and dead. If people could grind without risk. Also there's discord groups you can join that does just that. If y'all are scared by PVP.

  • cdeshaw1986 Christopher Deshaw (@cdeshaw1986) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Is there a hit reg fix in the plans? Seems important in a game you can lose all your progress in because of it...

  • 1_kulik 1Kulik (@1_kulik) reported

    @Nicolas_Iturri @SeaOfThieves You sound like a spoiled brat. These big events have issues and you should have expected it. I was planning to play too but my friends said they have issues connecting so I played later when there is less trafic. Can you stop crying?

  • 1_kulik 1Kulik (@1_kulik) reported

    @Nicolas_Iturri @SeaOfThieves Had no problems so far.

  • CrushingDescent (´ω`)っ旦~~ have a tea (@CrushingDescent) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Well, this was completely pointless. Couldn't login for an entire DAY and you give us 12 hours, that is, if you're not in the US and busy during daylight hours, in which case you get nothing! So, thanks for nothing, some "community" day.

  • MileticIlija1 elijah (@MileticIlija1) reported

    @CGallerine @SeaOfThieves Still, why would I play the game if it kicks me after it lets me in most of the time? And if it’s a “visual issue” I still cannot buy anything because it says I don’t have enough gold?

  • BakedVirginia Mapleshades (@BakedVirginia) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Rough timing. Servers busy/broken Sunday, then the event is over right when we ESTers are getting off work :(

  • scarletshackles scarlet (@scarletshackles) reported

    @SeaOfThieves No crew since I couldn't login and had to sleep and your silly extension of 12 hours did nothing to remedy it :)

  • faireous Faireous (@faireous) reported

    Has anyone else somehow lost all their gold, dubloons and ancient coins? As well as having trouble connecting to the game? #seaofthieves #SoT #Seaofthieveserror

  • CGallerine Gallerine (@CGallerine) reported

    @MileticIlija1 @SeaOfThieves you'll have your gold and rep next time you log in, and now that community day is over, you won't have login issues anymore

  • ImWetShelly WetShelly (@ImWetShelly) reported

    @LPBrako @SeaOfThieves Thanks it was so hard. Yesterday was so struggling with connection issues and no party chat

  • HealPlsHeal HealPleaseHeal (@HealPlsHeal) reported

    @RiceNPeaRoy @SeaOfThieves Actually I was going to potentially be me not playing anymore due to my motion sickness. Issue with it. But after that preview I decided to do some more things to see about correcting it. And it seems to have worked

  • Hammyboney S (@Hammyboney) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @Cliff_Horse Your bloodthirstiest crewman at your service

  • djautotuer max münchmeier (@djautotuer) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i really hate you for closing arena mode, nobody really wanted to play it anymore because even tho it was amazing, all we ever wanted was a hitreg fix but all you gave us was johnny depp, screw you guys

  • frankcasillas50 Frank (@frankcasillas50) reported

    Im still having issues logging into sea of thieves! This game needs better servers asap @SeaOfThieves

  • BlueJediSith BlueJediSith (@BlueJediSith) reported

    I stole another chest of legends today. Logged off for an hour. Log back in, to check my emissary #’s. My gold, doubloons & Ancient coin are all at 0. Either there’s server issues again, or the Pirate I stole the Chest of Legends from, somehow stole all my #SeaofThieves funds

  • InsaneSpyro Spyro_The_Arceus (@InsaneSpyro) reported

    @Silentx_Rage5 @SeaOfThieves not supporting and deleting it are 2 different things. when arena closes where do you think all them PVP sweats are going to go, that broken golden sands prepare to have it camped by frustrated pvp players like pixels, flacor and so on because there is less pvp places to go
