# Insider Patch Notes 3.6.2.2

Insider Update 3.6.2.2 is now live.  As we enter the hardening phase for Season 19’s launch, features seen in this Insider build will align with what will be released to the main game in our next Monthly Update. Insiders will therefore find Custom Seas is now unavailable and will return to testing in a future update.

If you encounter any bugs while playing in Insiders, please head to the 
[Sea of Thieves support site](https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb) and 
[report an issue](https://support.seaofthieves.com/requests/new) with our Player Support team.

## Season 19

**Chest of Fortune**

* For the duration of Season 19, the Chest of Fortune will surface following the defeat of an emergent Fleet of Fortune. These special Skeleton Fleet encounters are signified by a glowing red ship-shaped cloud in the sky when active.

## Faction Battle Improvements

**Faction Battle Entry Requirements**

* Following Insider feedback, the reputation rank required with The Reaper's Bones has been increased from 15 to 25, increasing the time investment in High Seas before players can begin participating in Faction battles.

* Faction Battle Entry Requirements remain disabled in Insiders to facilitate smoother testing of the broader Faction battle experience.

**Shrinking Battle Bounds Visuals**

* When diving into a Faction battle, the Battle Bounds are now clearly marked to battling crews without requiring players to consult the Ship’s Map.

* Crews will now see the red waters of the Seas of Fate on the water surface when approaching the edge of the bounds. Running out of bounds will cause the ship and surrounding environment to turn red, signifying the pending destruction of the Hourglass of Fate.

**Shrinking Battle Bounds Balancing**

* For all ship types, the size of the final battle area has been reduced further, ensuring that crews reaching this final size are encouraged to battle to the death.

**Quick Requeue**

* Notifications shown when requeuing for battle after a loss are now themed appropriately to the crew’s chosen Faction.

## Updates

**Voice Chat Notifications**

* Players using in-game voice chat on PC and Xbox consoles will now see the name of players speaking within the HUD at all times in an onscreen indicator, no longer requiring the player to be looking in the direction of the speaking pirate.

## Known Issues

**Faction Battles**

* Guild Emissary Flags are not raised for crews when re-queueing and entering another Faction battle.

## Fixed Issues

**Gameplay**

* During Faction battles, the opposing crew’s restock crate is now visible without it needing to have been interacted with first.

**Environment**

* Rampart walls on both Ashen Garrisons can no longer be walked through.

* Ships can no longer be pulled through the Sea Gate at Ashen Garrisons.

* Bats on the ramparts at King's Chalice Garrison no longer merge through the environment.

**Visual and Audio**

* Exploding a Black Powder Barrel on a Skeleton Ship now displays the explosion effects correctly above the waterline.

* Eternal Guard and Order of Bone and Blade Skeletons now move correctly after being woken or dug up.

* Effects around skeletons and certain items at Ashen Garrisons no longer flicker.

* Smoke effects in the hallway of the main building at Servant's Oath Garrison no longer flicker.

* The Servants Emote in the Reaper’s Bones and Athena’s Fortune Company Shops now displays its correct tile art, and placeholder text has been removed from affected cosmetics.

* Players can no longer see through a wall at King's Chalice Garrison.

* Combat encounter music at Ashen Garrisons now stays in sync while progressing through the Event.

* The Garrison Treasure Key now appears correctly oriented when placed.

**Accessibility**

* Loot glints at Servant's Oath Garrison no longer flash through closed doors.

**Text and Localisation**

* The 'Quest Received' prompt no longer appears incorrectly when starting an Ashen Garrison Raid Voyage.

* A grammatical error in the Vanguard of Athena’s Fortune Title has been corrected.

**Performance and Stability**

* The game no longer closes unexpectedly when starting a new session after completing the Captaincy tutorial.
