[Sea of Thieves support site](https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb) and let our Player Support team know.

## Shrouded Islands

Introducing an early preview of ‘Shrouded Islands’ a Sea of Thieves Adventure, the first chapter of a new episodic approach to story-driven gameplay. For more on these exciting changes coming to the world, head to the latest 
[Developer update](https://www.seaofthieves.com/community/forums/post/1622638)!

**Shrouded Islands**

* Along with the previous update’s unusual retreat of Captain Flameheart’s Fleet, crews will find spectral activity across the Sea of Thieves increasing. A mysterious fog has rolled in, now enshrouding several islands.
* Pirates will find Golden Sands abandoned and in ruin, this Outpost is no longer a starting point for new crews entering the world.

* Larinna awaits pirates at the Outpost, urging crews to head to Golden Sands to explore the mysterious ruins and meet a new face in the Sea of Thieves. Speak with Larinna to begin this new adventure!
* Fearless crews headed into the fog to uncover the mysteries within will be rewarded with a time-limited exclusive title and cosmetic. Players can wield the eerie Shrouded Compass as a memento of their adventure.

## Legend of the Veil

**Haunted Island Quest**

* During the ritual encounter, Phantoms can now drop Athena’s Fortune treasure when defeated. Players will therefore no longer receive a treasure map to collect rewards at the end of the encounter.

## Updates

**Shop Filters**

* When browsing a shop, new filters are now provided, allowing players to cycle through all, owned and unowned items for easy access to new stock.

**Emote Radial Improvements**

* Within a Vanity Chest, players now have access to 10 pages where emotes can be equipped.
* Bringing up the emote radial and cycling the pages will also now only display pages which have emotes equipped.

**Ghost Fleet World Event**

* The Captain Flameheart Ghost Fleet world event has been removed from the world event rotation. All other world events retain their existing frequency.
* Crews taking on the highest ranking Order of Souls Ghost Fleet Voyages will now encounter the Burning Blade during the final wave.

**Ship’s Wheel Audio Support**

* Players can now access additional audio support when steering the ship’s wheel. Within the game audio settings, enable squeak sound on the wheel which will play a distinctive sound every quarter turn of the wheel. The volume of this effect can be tweaked using the accompanying volume slider.

**Hit Detection Reporting**

* Enhanced reporting has now been added behind the scenes, helping identify scenarios where server performance may impact the reliability of hit detection.

## Known Issues

**Shrouded Islands**

* The Shrouded Islands is currently in an 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.
* The Soulflame Captain encounters are currently using placeholder balancing levels and the difficulty of the encounter has not been balanced for different crew sizes.
* When digging up and opening the sarcophagus, the Map will remain in the crew’s quest radial.
* When talking to Larinna at Golden Sands, players will not see the dialogue option "I'm ready".

**Legend of the Veil**

* 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 progress on the Voyage.
* Crews migrating servers during the Voyage can cause various issues preventing progress.

**Legend of the Veil – Haunted Islands**

* 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.

**Achievements**

* The ‘Full Billow’ Achievement is not currently earnable when completing the required criteria.

## Fixed Issues

**General**

* While aiming down sights with a ranged weapon, being hit with a sword attack from another player or lightning attack from an Eelectric should no longer cancel the players aim.
* Resetting the input settings to default will now also reset the input for Swim Up.

* When playing in windowed mode and resizing the screen during gameplay, using Eye of Reach or Spyglass zoom will no longer cause the screen to be off centre.
* Players using Toggle Radial Menu’s will now find the shanty radial shortcut now selects shanties correctly.
* Steam players using Turkish language settings within steam game properties will now find Sea of Thieves now launches into Turkish.

**Visual & Audio**

* An audible wood splintering sound can once again be heard when ships take damage from a range of external sources.
* During an Ashen Lord encounter, after performing world’s end the resulting geysers will fade back into the sand.
* Digging up and moving a Reaper’s Chest should no longer display multiple beacons in the sky.

**Legend of the Veil**

* Receiving a picture map quest on Shipwreck Bay will now provide players with all clue pages.
* Hitting a Haunted Fort encampment with a hand-held weapon should no longer display a hit marker.
* When lighting a brazier during the Haunted Islands’ quest, the statues should now animate smoothly.
* Athena’s Fortune Gunpowder Barrels now reward the intended amount when traded in to the Reaper’s Bones.
* Athena’s Fortune treasure earned from the Legend of the Veil Voyage will now display the correct notifications when traded to the Reaper’s Bones and Athena’s Fortune representatives.

**Pirate Emporium**

* Performing the Stargazing emote while wearing the Lodestar costume now ensures the emote camera zooms into the correct location on the pirate.

**Performance and Stability**

* Server stability has been improved, reducing scenarios where crews are removed from a game session.
