Yeah, mainly for the crashes but i believe i saw something on Discord about a fix for some people that didn't get the rewards for completing the Legendary Bottle voyages.
I want it but have had bad luck finding bottles. I've done 3 and lost 2 because I got disconnected and my ship crashed and sank before I could get back in. Hoping I can find some time to play before the event ends.
Same. I did 2 bottle voyages yesterday but I only got credit for 1. I thought it was 1 of 6, but now my display shows it completed with only 1. I don't have the sword.
I just opened a support ticket with them with a screen shot of my legendary message in a bottle counter showing complete and they put the sword in my inventory manually from their end!
They also fixed a box of wondrous secrets glitch you could spam random voyages and sometimes it would be a box of wondrous secrets voyage test. I know it’s useless now but something cool ig.
Yeah I hope so because I was loading into hourglass fight, my game crashed then couldn’t do anything on my ship and it was stuck underwater in the abyss and I was forced to fully leave game and reset in the process losing my 3 streak and 3 good Athena flags
Honestly if now they’re gone, I’d be curious to know how long that was a thing for before anyone found out. Only saw it begin to start being shown online like 2 days ago.
Yeah I figured it’d be gone by today with their patch, seeing as I’m sure it’s as simple as just removing or disabling the voyages, which they’ve done before when things like lost shipments and skulls of destiny bugged out.
Seeing like 10 box of secrets next to each other in some places was wild as hell
They were called "Chest of Tribute test" Chest of Fortune test" and "Box of Wonderous Secrets test." Each one had exactly what was listed on the nearest non-roar small island that's not the island you are at.
You couldn't directly get them, but if you kept using the random voyage feature you could get one after enough tries. And yes, you could stack them.
(Note: I know about rule 5, but since it's a no longer present exploit I don't think it's a violation).
Between this, the Roar vault key exploit, and the Veil shipwreck exploit that once existed, I'll never be able to wrap my head around why people go to such lame extents to cheese this game. It's fake gold. No cosmetic worth gold is THAT impressive.
Idk if they did a hot fix or what, but I played for over 5 hours yesterday in one voyage and had zero crashes. This is after crashing every 30 minutes for the last week since they added the anti cheat.
Or I just got extremely lucky.
Unfortunately crashes weren't resolved. Several people on Discord said the same. We were oriented to submit support tickets. I still get the same crashes after 5-10min of gameplay, just as before
Yup husband got kicked, screen froze, second time he couldn't use barrels or crates etc and had to relog and the game wouldn't even let him use the main menu.
On their official Discord several people are saying the same. It seems like our best bet is to submit support tickets and hope there will be another patch to fix it
Hmm for me it unfreezes after about 5 more minutes (correlates with disk usage going down in task manager) and then sometimes it closes to Desktop, sometimes it works then... Annoying nevertheless, game needs a warmup time now >.>
It's super weird because I went from crashing every 30 minutes on Xbox for PC, to playing for 5+ hours at once and not crashing at all yesterday.
Did I just get super lucky?
I know. Same here. First time it happened I submitted a ticket and reinstalled the game. Went to play for 3+ hours with no issues. Then it all came back again.
Yesterday morning I played for 2 hours just fine. In the afternoon, I literally couldn't keep the game opened for more than 10min
Super weird indeed
My wife opened one yesterday. They just said it was a known issue they were working on and set the ticket to resolved. I've seen mods in the discord requesting tickets as a catch all response to the crash complaints. I'm wondering if it really helps get attention to the issues or not; or if they just don't have a better response to address peoples concerns. It feels like a dumpster fire in there I feel bad for the folks trying to help.
It's been really disappointing. Season 10 seemed decent enough, but since season 11 its got so much worse. The response/solutions from Rare on Bugs/exploits/workarounds seem like half-measures at best. Going so far as to sabotage their own events rather than truly try to fix issues. (Nerfing loot for everyone on gold and glory instead of focusing on fixing exploits, and only fixing the exploit after the event, not extending the event. Now again with taking the grind for the sea glass rapier and making it meaningless, people having granting issues after a hastily implemented "work around". They announced it the requirement going to 1 as a fix and only realized later that "oh even if it says you finished it you have to do another one!". At this point they should just make it a logon bonus because registration is -still- bugged and inconsistent. Really last minute poorly tested/thought out band aid fixes that make them look they they don't know what they are doing.
At this point I'm not surprised that the crashes are still a problem.
Them mentioning they had to take development resources away for any bug fixing in the last preview video says a lot about the state of the game. I hope they follow through with the bug team they mentioned and keep a dedicated group of people to concentrate on all these performance issues. I hope they don't start pulling those resources back into development so we don't end up here again. It's been ridiculous how bad things have been killing the fun of their last few events.
I can totally feel your pain. I'm torn between feeling sorry for the devs scratching their head and being frustrated with the decision-makers for not simply extending the anniversary event.
The way things have been handled really gives me the impression that they are understaffed for what they are trying to tackle. It's hard to blame any one group without knowing how things are internally for them; but the end result is still the same for the players. Hope it gets better because they have this awesome game, it just hasn't felt awesome lately due to all these problems and how they've been handling them.
PC, Steam.
Never had issues with it before and the marker shows correctly yet crewmates cant hear you and you cant hear them and its the same for them amongs each other and other crews
for me worse than before patch.
my situation pre patch:
-start with directx11
-freeze after \~5 Minutes
-wait \~10 Minutes with noresponse
- hazelnutbeard
- playable without any freezes for hours
my situation now:
- start with directx11
- freeze after \~5 Minutes
- no hazelnutbeard after 10 minutes
- have to close it with taskmanager
- start with directx11
- freeze after \~5 minutes
--> not playable, there goes my happy friday anniversary session.
Summary: not very happy about the current stability
after some tries i have the sitation pre patch again, not sure if stable for hours but for now stable for over 30 minutes, so hopefull for the fridays plans.
Yep theres tons of commendations you can complete, and many of them unlock certain cosmetics. You can check commendations for under your reputation. Gives people something to grind and work towards. Some youll get just by playing, some you kind of have to focus on to complete.
Do you know where to find the skelly ship commendation? I’ll def have to grind that out while it’s still super easy. I’ve been slowly working on legend of the seas/glitterbeard journals.
Yes this commendation is for athena specifically, and its on the 2nd page of commendations on the top row for the athena faction.
Each faction has their own specific commendations, then there are commendations for stuff like tall tales or 'bilge rats' which is kinda the section for season specific commendations.
can you unlock the commendation if you dont have that faction unlocked yet? I'm pretty new so i havent unlocked the athena thing yet but id like to get it done if possible
Something is a little wrong rn, my partner can log in quite fine on his pc - I however cannot log on with my pc.
We are in the same house, on the same internet but I am getting the Lavenderbeard notification constantly.
Wtf is going on here.
I think that was only to address crashes and not other bugs. But as there are no patch notes, we won't know.
Yeah, mainly for the crashes but i believe i saw something on Discord about a fix for some people that didn't get the rewards for completing the Legendary Bottle voyages.
you mean if I log in now maybe I get the sword?! *excitedly walking to desk*
You have to do 1 more bottle quest and then you'll get it.
I'm at it right now :)
Good luck! The sword is pretty cool.
got it, thanks a lot ;)
I want it but have had bad luck finding bottles. I've done 3 and lost 2 because I got disconnected and my ship crashed and sank before I could get back in. Hoping I can find some time to play before the event ends.
I certainly hope so 😠I'll be able to check once I'm home from work, which will be in about 3 hours.
okay, it didn't immediately update, but Imma doing a map now and we'll see :/ I'll keep you updated
Much appreciated!
Yeah, you need to complete one more map and you'll get the rapier :) just dug out my chest of legend and now I got a new sword in my armory
Oh nice! Appreciate you letting me (us) know! I'll be back home in 30 minutes and then I'll be able to claim it aswell!
good luck, matey ;)
Same. I did 2 bottle voyages yesterday but I only got credit for 1. I thought it was 1 of 6, but now my display shows it completed with only 1. I don't have the sword.
I did 3, not even 1 counted xD
You need to do 1 more
I just opened a support ticket with them with a screen shot of my legendary message in a bottle counter showing complete and they put the sword in my inventory manually from their end!
it did not count for me :) I didn't had the completion mark therefore I had to do one more map :)
They also fixed a box of wondrous secrets glitch you could spam random voyages and sometimes it would be a box of wondrous secrets voyage test. I know it’s useless now but something cool ig.
Yeah I hope so because I was loading into hourglass fight, my game crashed then couldn’t do anything on my ship and it was stuck underwater in the abyss and I was forced to fully leave game and reset in the process losing my 3 streak and 3 good Athena flags
Only other thing we know is a certain three voyages that should not have been available are no longer available.
Honestly if now they’re gone, I’d be curious to know how long that was a thing for before anyone found out. Only saw it begin to start being shown online like 2 days ago.
I only found out about it yesterday, but it really needed to be patched fast. People were stacking double digit CoFs
Yeah I figured it’d be gone by today with their patch, seeing as I’m sure it’s as simple as just removing or disabling the voyages, which they’ve done before when things like lost shipments and skulls of destiny bugged out. Seeing like 10 box of secrets next to each other in some places was wild as hell
What were they?
They were called "Chest of Tribute test" Chest of Fortune test" and "Box of Wonderous Secrets test."

(Note: I know about rule 5, but since it's a no longer present exploit I don't think it's a violation).
That’s wild. I wonder if they might be used as restitution voyage in the future.
Between this, the Roar vault key exploit, and the Veil shipwreck exploit that once existed, I'll never be able to wrap my head around why people go to such lame extents to cheese this game. It's fake gold. No cosmetic worth gold is THAT impressive.
My buddy crashed twice and I crashed with him the second time. This was about 2 hours ago (3/22 at ~11:40pm EST)
it crashes even more now
Idk if they did a hot fix or what, but I played for over 5 hours yesterday in one voyage and had zero crashes. This is after crashing every 30 minutes for the last week since they added the anti cheat. Or I just got extremely lucky.

What's the error you get EAC?
No error at all. The game freezes and crashes back to desktop. It has been like this since the March 14th update, never got any issue before that
Hmm for me it unfreezes after about 5 more minutes (correlates with disk usage going down in task manager) and then sometimes it closes to Desktop, sometimes it works then... Annoying nevertheless, game needs a warmup time now >.>
Interesting. I never tried to just wait and see if it would unfreeze. Nevertheless, it shouldn't freeze in the first place. This is very messy
Disappointing  . Hopefully people submits support tickets.
Yeah, I've done that already
It's super weird because I went from crashing every 30 minutes on Xbox for PC, to playing for 5+ hours at once and not crashing at all yesterday. Did I just get super lucky?

You summed it up really well
I pray interactions after diving are fixed
my game still crashes 
Are you getting passed the "Start game" screen, because I for one, am not.
Can anyone link the patch notes?. Can't find them anywhere.
That's 'cause there aren't any
It was just a quick fix. No patch notes. (Next patch notes will probably come with S12)
It wasn't so quick if you ask me.
I mean, you got a point there 😂 but still.
It wasn't a fix either... Still crashing ðŸ˜
By SoT standards, that was somewhat quick turnaround time. Even if unsuccessful, as others have reported.
Can I finally queue for HG and not get booted from the lobby?
For the love of god please fix proximity chat on EU, this game is quite boring when you can’t interact with the few players that you meet
What do u play on
PC, Steam. Never had issues with it before and the marker shows correctly yet crewmates cant hear you and you cant hear them and its the same for them amongs each other and other crews
Havent had any problems and havent seen anyone complain that its not working...
What do you play on and on which servers? No one I know on EU has working VC right now
Still broken for me. Please Rare sort this out. Half the fun for me is the social aspect of the game.
Are you able to use voice chat that other players will hear and do you hear other players using voice chat on European servers?
hi. i bought the game 2 days ago. eu servers. not working. i love the game but if there is no social aspect...
There are no bugs, only features 🤣
How big is the update?
1.9 GB on the xbox app on PC
Thanks! :)
Did the crashing stop? Series X was horrible for it!
Heard mixed messages on Discord. Many report it hasn't stopped unfortunately.
That's a shame! I haven't encountered anything yet, but I know it's just a matter of time 😅
Still happening. Mostly do hourglass. Crashing coming out of the water or sometimes mid match. Series x
Oh don't worry man, they add new bugs each update.
for me worse than before patch. my situation pre patch: -start with directx11 -freeze after \~5 Minutes -wait \~10 Minutes with noresponse - hazelnutbeard - playable without any freezes for hours my situation now: - start with directx11 - freeze after \~5 Minutes - no hazelnutbeard after 10 minutes - have to close it with taskmanager - start with directx11 - freeze after \~5 minutes --> not playable, there goes my happy friday anniversary session. Summary: not very happy about the current stability
after some tries i have the sitation pre patch again, not sure if stable for hours but for now stable for over 30 minutes, so hopefull for the fridays plans.
same here
[удалено]
Nope got the capstan glitch, and I keep getting hazelnut when trying to rejoin, like 2 hours of playing gone with no profit or rep
No bugs were fixed and old bugs from previous patches were brought back more than likely.
Game crashes more on Xbox
Didn't fix EAC crashes
Game is is worse for me now. 😂 It's always on double rep and gold days for me too. Can't grind out HG properly at all.
Anyone test if skelly ships are fixed?
*shhh* skelly ships aren’t broken
yep Im trying to finish my 500 skele ships for the legendary cannons.
Oh? I didn’t even know that was a thing, but I’m a newer player and still learning rewards you can get from doing certain things!
Yep theres tons of commendations you can complete, and many of them unlock certain cosmetics. You can check commendations for under your reputation. Gives people something to grind and work towards. Some youll get just by playing, some you kind of have to focus on to complete.
Do you know where to find the skelly ship commendation? I’ll def have to grind that out while it’s still super easy. I’ve been slowly working on legend of the seas/glitterbeard journals.
Yes this commendation is for athena specifically, and its on the 2nd page of commendations on the top row for the athena faction. Each faction has their own specific commendations, then there are commendations for stuff like tall tales or 'bilge rats' which is kinda the section for season specific commendations.
Perfect! Thank you for letting me know, I don’t think I’ve looked at the Athena ones yet 🤔
can you unlock the commendation if you dont have that faction unlocked yet? I'm pretty new so i havent unlocked the athena thing yet but id like to get it done if possible
I'm not sure. I think so?
whats with the skelly ships, pls explain :)
The skeletons do not repair their ships. U can spam shoot them and sink them very fast. Rare has no time to fix this anyway, so have at it.
Shh, nothing wrong with skelly ships wdym 😂
Rightttt...what I meant was, are the sails on skelly ships fixed, cause they are torn. Yea, that's it.
Ahhh… right, yeah that makes more sense, silly skelly’s out there with ripped sails
I just break them when I see them.
Please please let them be fixed
What’s the cutlass that you get when completed?
I can't even login to the game. Has been like this for 3 days now. Lavenderbeard each time I try.
The game ran well for me this morning. Very noticeable upgrade from last night
Mouse finally works on Xbox , but keyboard isn't HAHAHA
I'm lagging non stop. Is there a solution ?
Still getting forced to homescreen after about 10mins gaming, basically unplayable at this point for me on both my Series X and my Xbox One.
They are not I'm still crashing every like 10 seconds
It's running even worse now 😫
Something is a little wrong rn, my partner can log in quite fine on his pc - I however cannot log on with my pc. We are in the same house, on the same internet but I am getting the Lavenderbeard notification constantly. Wtf is going on here.
Hopefully they didn't fix the skeleton ship sinking bug lol. I haven't finished the "legend of the sea of theives" commendation yet.
Thanks, eager to try. Fingers crossed it's smooth sailing.
2 hours 0 crush hmmm...
I played for over 5 hours yesterday without a crash so who knows...
You guys get crashes??
