Sea of Thieves BETA not Starting?

  • @gutsyfollowers nearly 3 hours is a bit much to iron out stuff that could or should have been done yesterday, no?

  • I uninstalled and reinstalled only the closed beta from store, I never got a code to redeem on the microsoft store from my purchase. Black dog pack was automatically added. Not sure what is going on but I'm confident it will be resolved sometime today. I guess I'll split some wood while we all wait.

  • @mexicated They, unfortunately, didn't have the server load yesterday or the Microsoft Store launch issue. Some of these things are unfortunately out of Rares hands.

    But rest assured they are working to get all issues resolved soon.

  • @l-onan-l You sound like you are all set to set sail when the issues have been resolved, nothing left to do on your part!

  • @l-onan-l "Split some wood..." Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

  • @mexicated if it was to do with pre order or accounts it shouldn't take to long but then again if it's between rare and Microsoft it may be taking longer, it is I admit abit of time to wait but again it isn't unusual tbh.

  • @celtic-roar Id be happy to join ya, don't know much about specific positions but id be happy to have other to play with XD

  • This is getting depressing

  • Good times, good times. One day, we'll all laugh about this :)

  • @austinslayer123 That sounds grand. I tagged you in a thread I made. Hopefully it worked

  • @tqd392 did You get a code when preorder??

    Last Updated: January 24, 2018 well so this is klosed p**a and not closed beta
    If you've received an email stating that you'll be granted access to the Sea of Thieves Closed Beta, be aware that this is an upcoming phase and the Closed Beta is not live just yet. No date has been announced, but we'll be sharing more information on it soon!

  • So I’ve preordered the game on xbox but the closed beta doesn’t show up in my game library. Anyone know what i should do? (This is my first time sending a message lol)

  • @enjoy-disaster the closed beta should show up for you in the game section of the Xbox store available for you to download separately from the game pre-order

  • Correct me if I'm wrong there....I've been pushing a button for almost 3 hours and I'm starting to lose it.

  • status report??

  • @sandman929 XD Mate you need a drink

  • @zubids80 status?...button....must push button...will work...has to work...

    I did not get a code, but the closed beta game showed up in my library

  • Almost three hours late now. :'-(

  • @n-a-ii-m-a has anyone tried uninstalling their pre-order game file? Not the closed beta one which is about 7.55GB?? I wonder if it thinks its the pre order game and thats why it thinks its too early? would be interested if someone tired this, I would but I'm at work

  • When it dose finally get fixed there is going to be a mob of angry pirates on the seas.

  • @n-a-ii-m-a I'm having the same problem. Neither in PC neither Xbox

  • @celtic-roar yup

  • @autoxcrxsi Got a Cap'n to follow by any chance?

  • Three hours late almost.. just for them to seemingly fix an issue relating to access. Surely all they have to do is flag up the issue with Microsoft and get them to rectify?.. This shouldn’t be a technically challenging issue for them to fix, but nearly three hours later here we are. Streamers seem to be playing without issue, and my friend has just told me that Microsoft’s, Xbox on team are now playing and streaming the beta from 14:30 but the rest us consumers are being left waiting like chumps!

  • Dunno about a cap'n but I'm the omega!

  • Why us why all of us. the true dedicate bunch of scallywags why do we have to wait why do we have to be punished. :(

    Come on then, Join my dastardly crew already! If you don't sail with me, you sail with the damned!

  • @celtic-roar hahaha I'm pretty sure I got 10 crews so far so I may have to wait on that😂

  • Ok letz get serious, how do you refund a preorder? I am new to Xbox X and i dont know how.
    I want to refund because i cant understand why the stream service Mixer is full of streamers(its #1 atm) playing the closed beta and i cant , despite the fact i should be able to because preordered , insider ect

  • It seems that the "Launch Game" button does not work, has anyone informed Rare of this problem? :-)

  • @karstenx1971 I believe u can cancel through the email u was sent after pre ordering

  • It's been 3 hours since I started pushing the button. The button held a promise that the game would start, and i believed it. I had to believe it. After an hour, button was all that I knew. After 2 hours, the button became my captor and tormentor. A cruel mistress, the button continued to offer the promise that it would take me to a better place. Now, at 3 hours, I'm broken. I fear that I will never leave this Xbox home screen, and if I do, I will be a shadow of the person I once was.
    The button taunts me still...it calls, and I must answer.
