# Release Notes – 2.6.0.1

As Season Seven continues, the team have been working on the next time-limited Adventure along with additional fixes based on feedback from the community. We’re introducing more of this content to the game in today’s release, update 2.6.0.1.

For more information on all the new content that arrived in Season Seven, check out the 
[launch release notes](https://www.seaofthieves.com/release-notes/2.6.0)!

## Adventures

Rally your allies: it's time to take the fight to the Dark Brethren and help bring home a celebrated Hunter in 
*Sea of Thieves’*
[sixth time-limited Adventure](https://www.seaofthieves.com/news/a-hunters-cry)! Venturing into the Sea of the Damned is a risky undertaking even without a band of renegades lying in wait…

---

**‘A Hunter’s Cry’ (August 18th – September 1st)**

* Keeping Merrick captive in the Sea of the Damned, the Dark Brethren will stop at nothing to retrieve the vital information he holds.     
* Speak to Larinna to begin this new Adventure, then approach the Pirate Lord who will use the Veil of the Ancients to open a path to the Sea of the Damned, allowing your rescue attempt to begin.
* To stand the best chance of success, crews should unite and rely on each other to breach the Brethren’s defences. Revealing the route to the top of the Twisted Sea Dog Tavern and overcoming the Phantom resistance will require a combination of sea and land combat, strength and agility, puzzle-solving and teamwork!
* The Pirate Lord can't keep the gateway open indefinitely as threats from the Sea of the Damned will break through to the Sea of Thieves, so crews must strive to rescue Merrick quickly and efficiently.
* Pirates who fully complete the Adventure will earn an exclusive Title and a cosmetic reward to serve as a Memento of their quest.

## Captains of Adventure

**Ship and Pirate Milestone Balancing**

* Following player feedback and internal review, the requirements to progress the Classes of certain Ship and Pirate Milestones have been adjusted. [Read more about the changes here.](https://www.seaofthieves.com/news/milestones-update)

## Fixed Issues

**Captains of Adventure**

* As Captains set sail in a new gameplay session, they will now find that the ship’s history in the Captain’s Logbook shows correct values for Gold Earned, Islands Visited and Nautical Miles Sailed.
* Players who experience an unsuccessful ship purchase will no longer be returned to the Ship Type selection screen.
* Captains can now consistently discard Voyages from the Captain’s Bookshelf.
* Sybil the shipwright at the Glorious Sea Dog Tavern now asks Captains to wait after purchasing supplies before additional items are offered.

**Insider Rewards**

* Insiders who are eligible for the Sapphire Blade Sails will now find them in the Ship Customisation Chest.

## Known Issues

**Saved Ship Customisations Not Persisting**

* Captains may find that saved customisations such as ship liveries and decorations do not always persist between sessions.

**Ship and Pirate Milestones Temporarily Disabled**

* The following Milestones have been temporarily disabled and will not progress when the relevant actions are completed:* Quest Board Maps Completed – Ship and Pirate Milestones* Captained Ships Spotted – Ship and Pirate Milestones* Provisions Sold to The Hunter's Call – Ship and Pirate Milestones* Sea Forts Conquered – Ship and Pirate Milestones* Repairs Made – Pirate Milestone Only

**Captain’s Stash Voyages Temporarily Unavailable**

* Captain’s Stash Voyages offered by the shipwrights are temporarily unavailable.

**Reduced Server Performance**

* Players may experience scenarios where they encounter ping spikes at random while playing, resulting in rubberbanding or client stutters. While improvements were most recently released in update 2.5.3, the team continue to work on further improvements for future updates.

**Ranged and Melee Weapon Hit Detection**

* In areas of intense action, players may find themselves firing shots or landing strikes that do not cause damage to their targets. While small improvements continue to be delivered during our regular updates, we are continuing to investigate and identify further improvements to the player combat experience.
