Insider Patch Notes 2.0.14.1
Insider Update 2.0.14.1 now live! With our April update releasing tomorrow, we are returning Insiders to previewing behind the scenes features for upcoming releases. Ghost Ship Encounters and Tall Tales Checkpoints are back, so head out to sea to face off with this ghastly fleet and you may spot a face you might recognise...
If you do encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Tall Tales Checkpoints
Tall Tale Checkpoints allow players to save progress and play again in a new session!
Checkpoint Voyages will currently take up a slot in your voyages tab, however future Insider builds will see this transition into their own tab to free up voyage space.
- Tall Tale Checkpoints ‘Shores of Gold’ – The ‘Shores of Gold’ Tall Tale now supports checkpoints. Head to Gracie at Morrow’s Peak Outpost to begin the checkpoint version of this Tall Tale.
Updates
Athena’s Fortune Grade 5 Voyage – When doing a Rank 5 Athena’s Voyage you will no longer be offered a Cargo Run. In addition, there are now extra dig spots on the X Marks the spot map to compensate, ensuring more Athena's Fortune-specific loot in the Emissary Quest!
Rowboat storage interaction – The key binds for interacting with the rowboat storage crate have been changed. On PC it will now be “R” to interact and on Xbox/controller it will be “Y”.
Alliance Nameplate – When forming an alliance with another crew, the allied crews’ nameplates will now become purple to help identify those in your alliance.
Ghost Ship Rewards – Treasure looted from defeated Captains of the fleet now have new bespoke textures.
Known Issues
- Athena’s Rank 5 Chapter Notifications – When completing Chapter 1 of an Athena’s Fortune Rank 5 Voyage players will receive the maps for Chapter 2 but there is no notification to let players know that a 2nd chapter has occurred.
- Ghost Ship Rewards – Reward items dropped from defeated ships will disappear too early, making them hard to find after defeating Captains and Formation Leaders.
- Leader of Formation Ghost Ships – The Ghost Ship formation leader sails may persist too long after the ship has been destroyed.
- Tall Tale Checkpoints – Some items may be placed incorrectly on the table when you start a Tall Tale checkpoint.
