Server will be shut down in 30 minutes.

@sojunamja maybe they're kicking up the content in this update, so lets hold judgment back until its done. I do understand your frustration though, I was only able to play a few hours this week after work and before sleeping lol.

Hey !

Do you have any change logs guys ?

Is it a maintenance server only ?

Thank you

Noooooo! I can't get in!!!! B****r!

Now I wait!

@logansdadtoo when i try to do something in the game hub, the microsoft store will come up, and say the same thing again, and again. :s why this is happing to me :'DDD

Thanks for getting us back on topic 👏
2am here. Keep up the good work 👍👍

And perfect timing started up for the first time since installed and was able to check it out for the first time on Xbox. Then at sunset played a nice tune on the stern while the server slowly faded to black. Tears.....

@ethnine Yes, that would be nice ... but more content? An "update" during closed beta? Not going to happen. They have a great game on their hands ... and yes, I wish to play more. It's frustrating when the game is working perfectly for you, and within an hour of logging on in the morning you're kicked off. My thing is ... even if it's buggy ... is it asking too much for a single, uninterrupted 2 day weekend of play? Especially when it was offered as an incentive to pre-purchase the game? Decisions like these are what drag great games down ... just like is happening to the likes of Destiny 2. Anyway. Enough trolling for me for one day. Just bummed. Was invited to the three previous alphas, but none of them worked for me ... always had errors. This is the first time the game has worked, and I get all this nonsense.

@obsterr
i had issues when trying to install on my pc initially, as i was an xbox tester, so i had to 'faff' about quite a bit to get it to work!!
Ok this time click pre order, but this time click the 3 dots in the top right next to your name, click library & see if sea of thieves is in there, if it is try & install

@logansdadtoo Nahh, good idea, nothing "important" there, just candy crush, or age of empire closed beta. :p
I don't have an xbox btw.

@jcmdeadpool long stretches? Dreams? Same thing :)

@Obsterr
Try this again m8
Click pre order, then the 3 dots, then game hub.
Then click view on microsoft store then try the download again, does it still give the cant be bought right now message?

@logansdadtoo Yap, sadly still just the same, but thanks for trying to help :)

@obsterr
Keep trying every so often m8, some people have had it just randomly appear for download in the xbox insider hub.
I see you've already raised a ticket with support, so just sit tight, it'll get sorted soon m8!
Good luck

@logansdadtoo Thx for every idea. :)

Yeah, just this is so hard, reading the forum that everyone is playing, and finding new stuff and ideas, and we/or i just watching the streams.. :p

@fraggin-frakers If you are on PC:

• Open the Windows Store.
• Press the ... next to your avatar. Upper right corner.
• Click on My Library (Or Downloads and updates. Can't remember exactly)

And there is where I found the closed beta after getting the closed beta email.

@fraggin-frakers i did to0 untill i found out i needed to download xbox live insider app and there is was

@khaleesibot said in Closed Beta: We are carrying out maintenance, severs will be unavailable:

The Sea of Thieves servers will be taken down at approximately 2:40pm GMT for 3 hours while we conduct server maintenance. We'll update our players when the work is complete. Thank you for your patience.

We now have a category for Game Updates!
Updates will also be reflected in the Red Banner and the Playsession Page.
