Insider Patch Notes 2.5.1.10
Insider Update 2.5.1.10 is now live. Our next Adventure has arrived, with players choosing the fate of Golden Sands – resulting in a permanent change to this once idyllic Outpost.
In the last Insider build before our May update, the listed Known Issues have continued to be worked on for resolution ahead of our final retail release.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, then please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Adventures
Following the successful recovery of the Veil of the Ancients, Flameheart’s forces have retreated, and the seas have settled. However, Golden Sands Outpost continues to be engulfed in fog, and is on the verge of being lost forever. It will need everyone working together to save it.
‘Lost Sands’
- Having continued her investigations, Belle has discovered why the Outpost remains haunted and urgently instructs Merrick to rally its traders and any other pirate who can help. Meanwhile, sinister figures have been spotted lurking in the shadows of the Outpost’s surrounding islands…
- Speak to Larinna to begin this Adventure and join with the community as the fate of Golden Sands Outpost lies in player’s hands. Pirates can choose to side with Merrick, and restore Golden Sands to its former glory, or side with the Servant of the Flame and sacrifice this once tropical island to the shroud, becoming Lost Sands permanently.
For this Insider’s build, the Servant of the Flame’s quest has a critical stability issue – therefore Insiders should focus on Merrick’s quest at this stage.
- Crews who side with Merrick in an effort to rebuild Golden Sands during the time-limited Adventure will earn an exclusive Title and a cosmetic reward to serve as a Memento of their support.
World Changes
Soulflame Rowboats
- Pirates will now discover Soulflame Rowboats emergently across the seas, crafted by the Reaper’s Bones to cause mayhem on the seas.
- Soulflame Rowboats come armed with a reinforced explosive keg strapped to the front, allowing players to light the fuse before detonating on their targets. The reinforced design protects the keg from small arms fire, however repeated attacks will eventually cause it to explode.
Known Issues
‘Lost Sands’
Players beginning the Adventure from Larinna will not receive a note, directing them to their next location. Head to Golden Sands to find Merrick to complete the chapter.
Crews migrating across servers while the Adventure is active will stop players from being able to progress the Adventure.
Crews selecting the ‘shadowy figures’ option from Larinna will begin the Servant of the Flame's Chapter and on arrival at the Reaper's Hideout will encounter a client crash.
The Adventure contains a range of placeholder artwork, imagery and text. The team are not currently looking for feedback on these clear placeholder areas of the experience.
Voice Chat on Steam
- Players on Steam will find they are unable to use game chat to speak to other players on their crew or those discovered in the world.
Legend of the Veil Disconnection
- Crews approaching the Haunted Fort at the end of the Legend of the Veil Voyage will find themselves disconnected from the game and returned to the front-end menu.
Pirate Emporium
- Pirates can be seen intersecting with the chest while viewing the Chest Hide Emote in the Pirate Emporium and Vanity Chest.
Fixed Issues
Gameplay
- Larinna once again offers the Barrel Disguise and Rolling Dice emotes.
Legend of the Veil
- When slotting a Veil stone into the Veil of the Ancients, the visual effects can still be seen even when looking away from the Veil itself.
Pirate Emporium
- When performing a Pocket Pet emote, zooming in should no longer cause the pet to disappear.
Visual and Audio
- Inside a flooded Ancient Vault, the bubble effects from water pouring from the statues now correctly appear from the correct location on the statue.
