Insider Patch Notes 2.8.6.8
Insider Update 2.8.6.8 is now live. In our last hardening build before the release of Season Ten, Insiders can set sail as part of a Guild and try on their brand-new Guild clothing items for a last-minute fashion show before these new threads hit the live version of the game!
As always, if you encounter any bugs, please head to the
Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Known Issues
*Season Ten *
- The painting within the front end is displaying incorrectly for players on Xbox One.
*Guilds *
- Players who have not yet created a guild and navigate to Play through the front end are currently shown a locked option for ‘Set Sail for a Guild’ tab causing confusion.
Following Insiders feedback this is being improved so that pressing on this option will redirect players to the Guilds menu in order to create a guild. This improvement is not present in this Insiders build but has been made ahead of Season Ten launch.
- Players who receive a permanent ban are not currently automatically removed from Guilds they are part of.
