Just wanted to report a problem I encountered, spent an hour and a half with three friendly Spaniards (in UK myself) only for game to freeze with 6 chests aboard our ship. Now it did not freeze completely, sound continued to play, almost felt like a desync where after 10minutes of frozen screen my character would teleport and I would get a glimpse of my crews audio. After waiting 45 minutes on frozen screens to see if it would resync, no luck and all my progress for the day was lost and was actually down in gold as I bought the map. Hugely, hugely frustrating, I can understand this is the beta, but if something like this were to persist into full release where you played for an hour(or more) only for the game to break and no progress be made you’d be disenfranchising people from the get go.
I’m not really one for public criticism but I really felt inclined to write this as I love this game so far, I can’t remember a title in recent years that oozed so much charm and emboldened my imagination like this one, and it’s with this affection I write this as I want this game to do well. I know you will be looking into this and a myriad of bugs before release but I had to say a word to raise awareness for a potential problem that would cause any sane gamer to think twice, a unique game like this must bring unique problems in design and development but I fear for a lack of stability at launch and how this could impact the potential community.
Kind regards,
some bloke on his Xbox
TLDR fix losing an afternoons/day progress before launch please
