# Insider Patch Notes 3.0.2.9

Insider Update 3.0.2.9 is now live. As we get closer to the anticipated release of our July update and Season 13, the Insider build will start to align more closely with the upcoming retail version of the game.

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

**Game Performance**

* With the introduction of the Burning Blade and Skeleton Camps to the world, players may experience impacted game performance while the team works to fully optimise these experiences ahead of launch.

**The Burning Blade**

* The Milestone for 'Gold Earned from Returning the Burning Blade to Flameheart' does not track progress if the ship is returned with no rituals completed.

**Skeleton Camps**

* The Temple spinners currently show the chosen constellation too early.

* Players cannot exit through the gate in the Temple tower if it resets while they are still inside.

**Ship’s Crests**

* The Ship’s Crest displays a checkered texture reading "Example Ship Name" instead of the correct ship name.

## Fixed Issues

**Gameplay**

* The 'Playing the Part' Commendation now correctly tracks progress.

* Button icons shown in the Pirate Emporium are now consistent when swapping between keyboard and mouse and controllers.

* The Whalebone Tattoo and Tentacled Terror Tattoo at Outpost Cosmetics are now correctly priced.

**The Burning Blade**

* Firing the Ashen Roar while sailing the Burning Blade no longer causes the Burning Blade to take damage.

* Obsidian Skeletons can now move once they appear.

* Approaching the interior of the Reaper's Hideout no longer causes Flameheart to change animation quality multiple times.

**Skeleton Camps**

* Efforts have been made to enhance the environment at all Skeleton Camp locations to reduce instances of misplaced items and prevent players from accessing restricted areas or breaking out of the environment. Additional fixes are currently underway as the team continues to work on improving the quality of these locations for the upcoming launch of Season 13.

* The spotlight audio in Skeleton Camps now plays correctly and only when intended.

* Sound effects are now present when toggling focus on the stargazer.

* The ritual animation sequence for the Burning Blade crew now plays as intended.

* Constellation puzzles now reset correctly after a failed attempt.

* Leaving the Temple while the puzzle is in progress no longer resets the Coffer spinners.

* Skeleton Camps now complete correctly even if a player on the crew dies while in the Temple.

* The dripping sound effect at Blind Man's Lagoon no longer follows the player around the Temple.

**Environment**

* Pets will no longer disappear after being placed on any part of the ship.

**Visual and Audio**

* When boarding a ship from the sea, players are no longer able to muffle the boarding audio effects by grabbing the ladder while repeatedly holding out items, ensuring nearby players will always hear the signs that someone is boarding from the water.

* Missing item tiles in the Emporium on multiple pages have been restored.

* The Plunder Pass purchase screen now displays the correct artwork.

* The spyglass no longer merges into the player's head while looking down its scope.

* The hand is now fully attached to the fishing reel while performing the Hook, Line, Sinker Emote.

* The Eclipse Hat in the Plunder Pass now displays the correct icon.

* The Obsidian Captain's Upper Body scarf no longer merges with pirates’ bodies when jumping.

**Text and Localisation**

* ‘The Fate of the Morningstar’ - The Quest Book in Japanese now displays text correctly, without any writing going off the page.

**Performance & Stability**

* Players on Steam using DirectX 11 should no longer experience frame rate issues or see a large plant over islands.
