# Insider Patch Notes 2.9.0.3

Insider Update 2.9.0.3 is now live. Insiders can continue to test the new Quest Table system and experience earning a Distinction with Trading Companies and purchasing Distinction Rings to show off just how skilled they are.

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

## Known Issues

**Guilds **

* Players who receive a permanent ban are not currently automatically removed from Guilds they are part of.  
* Players attempting to quick-join a session and sail for a Guild after the player who created that session has left will experience a server crash.  
* Players may experience a Rosemarybeard error when trying to join an active Guild session.

**Skull of Siren Song **

* If a player sinks while they are pledged to a Faction, Briggsy will disappear and the player will be unable to progress the Voyage.

**Firing from Cannons **

* When aiming to the side and down on the ship’s cannons, players will find themselves being dropped into the sea rather than shot out as intended.

## Fixed Issues

**Guilds **

* If the Guild Invite Emote is performed on the Ferry of the Damned, the interaction point now appears in the correct place.

* Upon completing the Ashen Lord event, the ‘Voyage Completed’ banners will now appear as intended. 
* Ashen Chests discovered on Treasure Vault Voyages will now always contain loot, as expected. 
* Players who wish to begin a second Cargo Run Voyage straight after completing one will now find that the last hand-in location for their previous cargo run is the same as a pick-up location for the next Voyage.

**‘Journey to Melee Island’ **

* The final wave of the fight at the end of the Tall Tale now spawns correctly, even if the player moves out of the area of the fight.  
* The radial of pre-set phrases for the History Book now shows the correct phrases.

* The memoir spot located in Captain Smirk’s house will remain accessible throughout the Tall Tale once the location has been accessed.

* All parts of the Tale will now remain active for the intended durations.

**‘The Lair of LeChuck’ **

* Crews who experience issues migrating back to the Sea of Thieves after completing the tale will no longer become stuck and can pass back through the portal again. 
* Players are no longer able to walk through Herman when he is hanging in his trap.  
* Herman’s Key will no longer disappear briefly after being dropped.  
* The prompt for players to shake Herman when he’s caught in the trap now appears at the correct height within the player’s eyeline.  
* Herman will no longer disappear when players walk too close to him.  
* The empty jar found in the stockade now has a Banana Grease label on the outside. 
* Herman's trap peg will now reset to its original position if players let go of the button during the interaction.

* The broken mast trap is now centred in the player’s view when looking through the stockade spyglass.

**Visual and Audio **

* The loading spinner is now clearly visible on the new style loading screens. 
* The pop-up notification letting the player know that all map pieces have been discovered now displays correctly when a player completes a Wayfinder Voyage. 
* The Quest Book for the Legend of Monkey Island Tall Tales no longer exhibits overlapping text issues when viewed in Russian, Japanese or Polish.
