Bug Regarding Sound and Visual Effects

  • Since the latest update when sailing my ship, I no longer see the splashing of water against my ship, nor do I hear it, on top of that I no longer see puddles of water on my main deck.
    It sounds as if I'm constantly sailing through completely calm waters, even if I'm in a raging storm.

    This is not an isolated incident either, as both of my brothers are experiencing the same issue, one of which plays on PC, and I've also seen another person mention it on the Sea of Thieves community page on Facebook.

    Please tell me this is something the developers are aware of??
    I really want this fixed ASAP because it's a huge immersion breaker, yeah it isn't game-breaking, but those sound and visual effects add so much, and once they're gone you can't stop noticing their absence.

  • yes i notice exactly the same ( all sliders maxed out)...i also checked a one month old youtube video and there was splashing water against the ship and way better sound when sailing on high sea...even there was water on the ship and not so clean like now. watched a stream from rare on the 26.11.2019 and there it was the same like it is now by me and others... so iam a little worried now that they changed something for the wrong direction...my immersion is tottaly broken now...feels wrong sailing in ruff sea and it sounds like calm water.. i hope its just a visual and sound bug.

    even noticed on my computer that the particle sliders is always resetting after game retsart and i have to maxe it every start by hand. Is there maybe the bug sitting?

    sorry for my english .. its not my native language

  • I think it's because the devs might be cutting corners to make new features work.

  • If so...then they cutting on the wrong corners. Takes so much immersion away. That's sad😕

  • Same issue here. Multiple PC and/or game restarts didn't fix it. Guess it appears since the last update. A fix would be greatly appreciated since this somewhat breaks immersion and atmosphere.
