Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life
‘The Sunken Pearl’ Multi-Crew Improvements
- When a crew completes the Tale and leaves the shrine it will now reset much quicker allowing subsequent crews to progress.
- The Chest of Everlasting Sorrow will now respawn quicker once taken by a crew, allowing subsequent crews to retrieve a chest.
- During the Silver Blade battle, resource barrels will now be restocked each time the encounter is reset.
Known Issues
Pet Naming
- Players on Xbox are unable rename their pets within the Pet Chest.
Players falling through their Ship
- After starting a Tall Tale, there is a chance that the crew will be unable to board their ship and will fall through the geometry into the sea. Players experiencing this issue should leave the game and start a new session.
Tunnels of the Damned – Rejoining a Session
- While travelling through the Tunnels of the Damned, losing your connection to the game and rejoining may cause visual issues and cause the migration to the new area to fail, returning you to your starting location.
New Tall Tale Commendations – Tale Visibility
- Players can browse Commendations for ‘The Sunken Pearl’ and ‘Dark Brethren’ Tall Tales before they have completed the preceding Tale. To prevent the experience from being spoiled, avoid reading ahead!
Plunder Pass Reward Unlocking Issue
- Players who have purchased the Season Three Plunder Pass may find that rewards are not immediately unlocked when the appropriate level of seasonal progression is reached. Logging out and back in should resolve this and cause the unlocked item to appear in the relevant chest.
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 improvements continue to be delivered during our content updates, this remains a key priority for the team.
Fixed Issues
General
- When reloading a ranged weapon, sprinting or stowing will now correctly interrupt the animation and restart it again once returning to the weapon.
- During a Cargo Run, after not seeing the Cargo Crates or after re-joining the game session, Cargo Crates should now have the correct appearance.
- Subtitles should always be present during moments of dialogue, even after a screen resize.
