Insider Patch Notes 2.4.0.7
Insider Update 2.4.0.7 is now live. As we approach the end of the year, our team is now enjoying the festivities while a skeleton crew takes the helm, making this our final Insider’s build of the year!
As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Legend of the Veil
Haunted Fort
- When approaching a Haunted Fort Encampment, the lighting and atmosphere will now dramatically shift to a haunted tone.
Updates
Island Enemy Encounters
- While exploring islands, crews who encounter and vanquish individual Ocean Crawlers, Phantoms or skeletons from a group of enemies should less frequently find them call in reinforcements before the group is defeated.
- After vanquishing a group of Ocean Crawlers, Phantoms or skeletons, crews should now enjoy a much longer respite period before encountering them again on the same island.
Seafoam Castaway Bilge Rat Shirt
- The missing Seafoam Castaway Bilge Rat Shirt has been added to the Outpost clothing stores.
Known Issues
Pirate Emporium
- When performing the Stargazing Emote from the Lodestar Costume, zooming in will move the camera to an incorrect position on the pirate.
Legend of the Veil
- The Legend of Veil is currently in a very early stage of development, and therefore contains a range of prototype artwork, animations, UI, cutscenes and assets throughout the experience. The team are not currently looking for feedback on these clear placeholder areas of the experience.
- Veil Stones slotted into the Veil of the Ancients can become invisible after a player’s death or upon disconnecting. This is visual only and does not affect the ability to complete or make progress on the Voyage.
- Starting the Shores of Gold Tall Tale will cancel the Legend of the Veil Voyage if the Voyage is active.
- Crews migrating servers during the Voyage can cause various issues preventing progress.
Legend of the Veil – Haunted Islands
- Various statues are in incorrect locations, in the water or in the air, and may not be interactable.
- Picking up a Flames of Fate will override the Enchanted Lantern.
- When progressing a Haunted Island quest, the placeholder friendly Golden Skeletons are currently able to be damaged and killed by players.
- If the whole crew dies during the Haunted Islands’ encounter, the quest module will be completed.
- Phantoms do not spawn after lighting the central beacon on the Haunted Islands.
- Phantoms and Ancient Skeletons do not spawn on Haunted Islands after solo crew players die and respawn.
Incorrect Poses in Sitting Positions
- Players may find that some pirates adopt an incorrect hand position when sitting in various places around the world. These pirates should rest with their hands on their knees but may appear to hold their hands in the air.
Cannon Firing Effects
- The recoil animation does not always play when firing a ship’s cannon.
Fixed Issues
General
- Replaced placeholder name for the Stygian Admiral Jacket in the Outpost stores.

Accessibility
- When using Let Games Read to Me, navigating the settings menu using both mouse and controller should no longer incorrectly identify controller movements as a mouse hover.
Pirate Emporium
- The star in the centre of the Lodestar wheel has now been reduced in brightness.
Sitting
