  • Southwardfaun Southwardfaun (@Southwardfaun) reported

    @MaikelMcGiver @SeaOfThieves I would still completely remove drivers and reinstall them from the ground up. That's assuming that the old drivers were present when the os was changed. But idk I'm no pro. I've had problems that were fixed by removing all drivers and trying again.

  • CaptainViserion Captain Viserion | The Fallen Ferryman (@CaptainViserion) reported

    @RaineVondrake @SeaOfThieves Omg I had this same bug! My pirate had freckles when I got her and she no longer has them. Interesting I’m not the only one who’s having this problem.

  • WyvernKh WyvernKraehe (@WyvernKh) reported

    @dannysmith54 @anarcho_goblin @SeaOfThieves I mean I appreciate it for the triangle symbolism of persiverance and that hints back to historical persecution and issues faced, but let's not pretend like it cost any big amount of money to make.

  • PhantomRoy7 PhantomRoy (@PhantomRoy7) reported

    @SeaOfThieves While you’re at it fix legend of the veil. Soul flame captain doesn’t drop any loot anymore.

  • EdyHassle Edy Hassle (@EdyHassle) reported

    Yo @SeaOfThieves i’m on Xbox One S. Before recent update I didn’t crash. Now my game crashes 4-5 times a session. If we are offline tomorrow I hope this issue gets fixed.

    @SeaOfThieves I hope whatever you’re doing when you take the servers down soon is fixing all the crashes my game is having. Every time I play, the game crashes at least once and it’s doing my head in.

    @osamaqamar_ @SeaOfThieves I kill people in SoT...no problem. I kill people in real life...wow such hypocrisy.

  • sea_fare007 Sea-fare (@sea_fare007) reported

    @SeaOfThieves There is a issue that I sold my treasure and I didn’t get my gold coins 🥺🥺

  • DarkIris413 ℜ𝔢𝔫𝔢𝔢 💋 (@DarkIris413) reported

    @SeaOfThieves the constant lagging out and the game just randomly kicking me and my crew from the game 2 or more times a session needs to be fixed

  • SwippedT SwippedTwit (@SwippedT) reported

    @Evilslither1 @BetterBhvr @SeaOfThieves Toxic idiots are the community's problem, and when the problem is bad enough that the dev disables voice comms entirely, it's an indication of a major problem.

  • awildbonkkuu BONKKUU (@awildbonkkuu) reported

    So...I've seen people have problems with missing freckles or spots on their character...some hair dyes remove those spots but other hair dyes don't. I don't use my characters natural hair color so it removes his spots but when I dyed it red they were there :) #SeaOfThieves

  • BetterBhvr BetterBHVR (@BetterBhvr) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Btw I’m being hyperbolic. I know they made a few tweaks here and there but they should have done a lot more. If they had put in the effort, more people would have played it more often. Even with all its problems, I miss arena. It could be really fun and had so much potential.

  • RaginCajun928 RaginCajun928 (@RaginCajun928) reported

    @SeaOfThieves This game is ina bad broken state since last update. Constant crashing and beard dc’s. Also Belle veil quest is broke. Boss doesn’t drop loot.

  • JasonC_Music JasonChatfieldMusic (@JasonC_Music) reported

    @SeaOfThieves so I start my first Athena quest by myself tonight just to have the game completely crash on me 😭. After waiting for the update to download tonight, let's hope it's not a step backwards. I actually love this game 🙏

  • Bophadeze Bopha (@Bophadeze) reported

    @osamaqamar_ @SeaOfThieves The little people doing the banning feel really big. The problem is that they don't know how to interact.. so they just ban

  • FutureMedusa478 snickerscupcake (nicki) (@FutureMedusa478) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd the game keeps crashing when I live stream it, I have checked everything else and there’s no issue there, I’ve tried deleting/reinstalling the game but to no avail 🥺 I just wanna pirate #twitchcrash

  • Valor_Omega_SoT Captain Valor Omega, The Researcher (@Valor_Omega_SoT) reported

    @BeardBerserk @SeaOfThieves It is rather difficult to nail the scale of some of the islands, I had a bunch of trial and error while making the base island for Plunder, as well. It's not 100% to scale, either, but I made it as close as I could! :)
