# Insider Patch Notes 2.4.2.8

Insider Update 2.4.2.8 is now live. As we approach our Season Six update, we are now limiting the feature set to those being delivered in that update, and once again The Legend of the Veil Voyage has therefore been disabled. The listed Known Issues have continued to be worked on ahead of our final retail release.

As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the 
[Sea of Thieves support site](https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb) and let our Player Support team know.

## Adventures

**‘Forts of the Forgotten’ Balancing**

* The encounter with the Phantom Jailor has been rebalanced, crews will now find the Jailor perform their lunge attack less frequently and their total health has also been reduced.

**‘Forts of the Forgotten’ Adventure Menu**

* Within the Adventure Menu a range of Deeds are now available which can be completed while progressing through the Forts of the Forgotten Adventure, earning renown on completion.

## Sea Forts

**Sea Fort Balancing**

* Additional rewards have been added to the Upper Storage Room.
* Additional Cannon Barrels have been added to the Top floor of the forts to aid in fort defenses from rival crews.

## Known Issues

**Sea Forts**

* Approaching a Sea Fort already completed by another Crew, may find that the Store Room Door has the previous keys stuck inside them. This will prevent the next crew from unlocking this door.
* While engaging Phantoms on an active Sea Fort, Phantoms may become invisible during their attacks and not reappear until hit.
* After clearing a Sea Fort and sailing away, crews may find they are attacked by the Sea Forts Cannons even though the fort is inactive.

## Fixed Issues

Fixed Issues

**General**

* Players can now redeem purchased commodities at Morrows Peak Outpost’s Merchant Alliance representative.
* Within the settings menu, the SwimUp controller binding should no longer display within the keyboard binding area.

**Forts of the Forgotten**

* Players once again will receive the Memento and Title rewards along with notifications when completing the Adventure.
* On discovering the Enchantment Vessel in the Fort cell, it now lines up with the floor markings.
* Ghost ships no longer fade out when navigating around the fort
* Belle now turns her head slowly to face players as they move around her.
* The Jail Door key now has a glint when viewed from a distance.

* Larinna now has appropriate dialogue when the Forts of the Forgotten Adventure is disabled.

**Sea Forts**

* All Sea Forts have now been through a further environment art pass, reducing scenarios where Phantoms can teleport onto walls of the fort, removing missing areas of the geometry and removing redundant mechanisms.
* Crews should no longer experience emergent encounters around the Sea Forts such as aggressive Megalodon, Skeleton Ship and Kraken attacks.

* The Commendations "From Whence They Came", "Faster Chef", "Light Fingered" and "Master Burglar" now unlock when completing the required criteria.
* When fighting through to the Captain of the Fortress, players will now find the Captain attacks players with a range of weapons.
* Crews should no longer find treasure items used as environmental dressing that cannot be taken and cashed in.
* Opening the Sea Fort Treasury door now plays an audio effect.
* The tooltip for collecting the Storage Room Key is now easier to find when searching through the wardrobes and cupboards.

* When fighting through to the final wave of Phantoms, crews should now longer find a Skeleton Captain appears instead of a Phantom Captain.

**Season Six**

* Vanquishing Phantoms at Sea Forts will now provide the correct amount of Season Renown.
* Defeating Sea Fort Phantoms and Captains and Opening Sea Fort Treasuries now provide repeat opportunities for earning Season Renown.

* When wearing the final Forests Blessing Costume, players should no longer find the mask obscuring the first-person camera.

**Pirate Emporium**

* The Islehopper Outlaw Wheel now has a more bright reflective upper rail to improve visibility of the wheels centre point while sailing.

**Visual and Audio**

* After climbing inside the Warring Warren or Notorious Reaper Cannons, other players should now see the player nestled snuggly in the cannon.
* Siren Leaders defeated within Siren Treasuries now play their dissolve animation when defeated.

**Environment**

* ‘Treasury of the Lost Ancients’ – Players can no longer step through a small gap in the environment to access the Treasury vault early.
* ‘Captains of the Damned’ – Players should no longer find locations around the Spanish Fort in Chapter two where they can become stuck on collision.

**Performance and Stability**

* Starting a Fort of the Damned should no longer cause crews to disconnect from the server.

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