  • Wermux Wermux (@Wermux) reported

    @Capt_Logun @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves I had this issue for quite some time - most of the time after long blackscreen I respawn either as skelly or fully naked and don't see any weapons/tools in my hand.

  • smarioplayer200 Joshua1995 (@smarioplayer200) reported

    @SeaOfThieves i got a mission too, please fix some bugs, i love the game but fr it's getting on my nerves when the bucket doesn't work

  • motopanekeku Ματιας Πανεκεκιος (@motopanekeku) reported

    do you have issues starting the game? #SeaOfThieves

  • Trixster13 🍍🧒 Jason Helms aka: Mad Jack Bonney (@Trixster13) reported from Monaca, Pennsylvania

    @SeaOfThieves I guess everyone is going to need to use some Malathion lotion (Ovide) and ivermectin (Stromectol) to help with the crab problem.

  • fucksleez sleez (@fucksleez) reported

    @Shockblaster1 @SeaOfThieves What problem is that?

  • DBLongneck Davie Broon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺 (@DBLongneck) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Fix FOTD and events not working. Takes too long to set up for the fort to then just not start.

  • ItsFrankistein 🦇 Frankie 🦇 (@ItsFrankistein) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Add PVE or pair players to servers based on the number per group & that'll solve a majority of the issues people have who want to play but can't/ won't. This can't be played alone if you're new/ learning because you get bullied. It's not worth the hrs it takes to get treasure.

  • vibeHDx VibeHDx🎮 (@vibeHDx) reported

    @SeaOfThieves @SoT_Support Please fix the black screen.

  • SigningCool Sydney Ace (@SigningCool) reported

    @AncientIslesUni @SeaOfThieves I suspect Amaranta is a red herring. I wouldn't be surprised if Lesedi - jealous their father only visited DeMarco and it also happened to bring the one thing she prided to an end. Lesedi also seemed to have a "stuck in dad and bro's" shadow issue. I believe she framed Amaranta

  • Zero_Nexus_King Zero, The Nexus King (Debut: Idfk)🔞 (@Zero_Nexus_King) reported

    @CoolCatConner @smarioplayer200 @SeaOfThieves Then that's probably your internet if it happens alot of the time, because I have had no issues so far with bucketing water

  • wanderfallacy Wu Ming (無名) (@wanderfallacy) reported

  • TerjeCS Terje🏳️‍⚧️ (@TerjeCS) reported

  • Kezsora Jerry | Bald David (@Kezsora) reported

    @Jonathancoe11 @Davide31539768 @SeaOfThieves The problem with that is that you can't run with your latern out

  • HaskogOG Håkon Skogstø (@HaskogOG) reported

  • randasawus John Opal (@randasawus) reported

  • xDellarie Dellarie 🌺 ☁️ (@xDellarie) reported

    for some time I had issues with Lavenderbeard and... I tried literally any fix I could find and in the end all I have to do is to exit Steam so it can update when I can't log in (facepalm) seems like my pc is messed up but no one seemed to suggest this fix #SeaOfThieves

    @Wermux @RareLtd @SeaOfThieves Black screens have been a trouble since last week . Am also pc player so normally really fast .

  • Spectrettv1 Spectre (@Spectrettv1) reported

    @SeaOfThieves Heres a mission for you, make an actual good update and fix all those bugs that completely ruin the game. Considering your development abilities, I guess on a scale of 1 to 10 this is like a 11/10 difficulty for you

  • smarioplayer200 Joshua1995 (@smarioplayer200) reported

    @Zero_Nexus_King @CoolCatConner @SeaOfThieves it's not our internet buddy, i've seen a ton of streamers with tier 3 internet having this issue, so there's that
