Insider Update 3.2.2.6 is now live. As we approach the scheduled release of our January update, the next Insider builds will become focused on finalising this release. This means that the feature set and builds delivered to Insiders will now closely resemble what will be available in the final release.
As always, if you encounter any bugs, please head to the Sea of Thieves support site and let our Player Support team know.
Targeted Performance Improvements
Performance improvements have been made to the setup and loading of Trinkets on Captained Ships. This work should improve client performance on Trinket-laden ships and reduce the performance impact when approaching those ships at sea.
Network improvements have been made in scenarios where large amounts of data are being sent from the server to a client. In these scenarios, the movement of the player and their ship will now be prioritised to ensure a smoother experience. This work should reduce the performance impact seen when a fully dressed ship arrives into range and when a player fully equipped with cosmetics returns from the Ferry of the Damned.
In order to focus testing and help the team understand the impact of these changes, this Insiders build will be tested with Closed Crews disabled. This will direct all sessions into Open Crew, filling crews and optimising for player density across our servers.
