Insider Patch Notes 2.0.19.5
Insider Update 2.0.19.5 is now live! As we approach our November release, we continue to address critical known issues as we put the final touches to our build. Looking ahead to future updates, this Insiders build also contains some under the hood systems that need putting through their paces!
If you encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Updates
Updates to Progression Tracking
- In preparation for an upcoming Feature Set, this Insiders build introduces a new set of systems for tracking progression for actions performed across the Sea of Thieves.
- Progression tracking has been enabled for Tall Tale progress and exploring the seas, along with handing in a range of loot earned while out in the world.
Please note that in this Insiders build, players will not see any visual feedback for these actions. However, the team will be gathering and monitoring data behind the scenes – so please continue to play in this build as you would in retail to provide the broadest coverage.
Known Issues
Emotes
- The Varied Weapon Pose Emote bundle will not have images.
- The Weapon Pose Emotes do not appear on the Emote radial.
When viewed from a distance, players will sometimes appear to not be performing animations.
Players may appear stuck in an emote while moving and performing actions.
Maiden Voyage
- The Pirate Lord does not appear when starting the Maiden Voyage. If you are required to play the Maiden Voyage, please launch it - and after you hit the loading screen or beyond, you can close the game and re-launch it to select any game mode you wish.
Steam
- Insiders will not be able to test this build on Steam - this build will not be released to this platform.
Fixed Issues

- We have optimised a range of islands across The Ancient Isles to improve client performance.
Pirate Emporium
