# Insider Patch Notes 3.2.3.4

Insider Update 3.2.3.5 is now live. This Insider update moves the Chest of Fortune to the Fort of Fortune, unlocking new Regal Fortune cosmetics. Insiders can now test purchasable hunting spears, performance upgrades and a system for temporary Voyage locking.

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.

## Season 15

**Chest of Fortune**

* For the duration of Season 15, the Chest of Fortune has been returned home to the Vault of the Fort of Fortune.

* Crews who retrieve Chests of Fortune can now earn the next Grade of the Fortune’s Favour Commendation, unlocking access to the Regal Fortune Figurehead, Hull and Sails.

**Reaper’s Chests**

* Crews chasing down the telltale beacon of the Reaper’s Chest or Reaper’s Bounty can earn the next grade of the Reaper’s Riches Commendation, and start unlocking access to the Regal Fortune Pistol, Cutlass and Double Barrel Pistol.

## Wild Seas

**Hunting Spears**

* Crews can now purchase hunting spears from the Hunter’s Call and are limited to five.

**Commendations & Rewards**

* The Commendations held within the Wild Seas and Hunter’s Call tabs of the Pirate Log are now reflective of the features that will be launching at the start of Season 15. Commendations for features arriving later in the Season will now be hidden.

## Updates

**Performance Improvements**

* Sea of Thieves servers now support multithreading and have received the first phase of performance improvements. Buoyancy calculations, as well as parts of the physics and network systems are now directed to a different core and can run in parallel to the main game.
* Performance improvements have been made to how treasure is populated within shipwrecks, ensuring that treasure is only placed when crews engage with them and also more readily cleaned up to improve server performance if items are left behind.
* Broad performance improvements have been made for players across both PC and Console when playing at higher framerates, improving loading behind the scenes based on the client framerate. These improvements have been tuned to target framerates between 60fps and 120fps, however may also provide some improvements for higher framerates where supported.

* Further performance improvements have been made to how Trinkets are loaded when approaching Captained ships, optimising the experience on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series consoles.

* As performance optimisations continue on the islands across the Sea of Thieves, all islands within the Wilds have now received a pass to improve performance.

**Temporary Voyage Locking**

* The Sea of Thieves Live Team now has the ability to temporarily lock a Voyage and prevent it from being started from the Quest Table. This allows the team to react quickly and protect players in the live environment should a high impact issue occur, without the need to take the game down for maintenance.

* When a Voyage is temporarily locked, the Quest Table will show the Voyage with the message ‘Voyage Temporarily Unavailable’.

## Known Issues

**Ancient Megalodons**

* A static Ancient Megalodon may appear alongside the active one.

* Eel-ectrics do not appear and chase the Burning Blade when the Barnacled Dread is attacking it.

* The Feared Redmaw’s explosion may trigger incorrectly during or just after a bite attack.

**Megalodon Voyage**

* A beacon will not appear during the Megalodon Voyage.

**Hunter’s Call**

* The 'Hunter of Gilded Reward' Title appears as 'Tracker of Treasures' in the Vanity Chest.

* The wrong music currently plays when raising the Hunter’s Call Emissary Flag.

**Fishing Voyages**

* The map icon for Fishing Voyages is missing.

* The fishing zoom map displays incorrect or placeholder artwork.

## Fixed Issues

**Gameplay  **

* When diving to a Faction battle, on surfacing the enemy ship will now consistently appear visible  to begin the encounter.

* Lizards now fully disappear after fleeing, with no visible lingering textures.

**Environment  **

* Traps should now consistently rest on the ground when placed in a range of locations.

* 'The Lair of LeChuck' - It is no longer possible to become stuck among the palm trees during this Tall Tale.

**Visual and Audio**

* The camera no longer behaves erratically after running into a skeleton at The Reaper’s Hideout.

* The Inner Sanctum Wheel and Cannons now maintain their visual clarity at a distance.
