Game randomly crashes for everyone but the player who has the "anchor"

    Hello,
    The game keeps randomly crashing for everyone but the player who had the anchor in the matchmaking screen, it shows a grey screen for a second then just closes, no error.
    I personally never crashed, since for some reason it gives the anchor always to me.
    This problem only happens when we play as a group, if we play solo there are no crashes.

    I have been playing this game with my brothers, we're all using different accounts, but only I have the game purchased.

    They tried updating their graphics drivers, but nothing, still crashing.

    Does anyone know how to fix this? or it's something that has to be fixed by the devs?

    Ahoy @cast1iio!

    Currently Rare has not said anything about that. And I think this time it is a issue of the game and not the drivers, I have seen AMD and Nvidia users with similar issues.
    Also, I have not seen any solution posted in the forums :(

    Here is something, but it has not worked for many players:

    @katteen Are you also using family sharing to play? it seems to be related to that.

  • Katteen

    @cast1iio Yeah, i'm family sharing with my brother, if we play coop it crashes at 13 minutes mark... but if we play alone it doesn't seems to crash

    you can try to disable shader cache in AMD radeon settings: Games/global settings.

    @katteen exactly the same as me, does anyone know anything yet? I sent them a request and they answered me this:
    Ahoy there,

    Thank you for helping to steer the course of Sea of Thieves.

    @varete02 I got the exact same answer.

    Also, yesterday we played again as a 4 man crew, and only 2 of us never crashed, one was me and the other was my brother playing with family sharing.

    But the other 2 kept crashing every 10-15 mins, and the funniest part is that one of them also owns the game, so we aren't sure anymore if it's related to family sharing.

    I wonder what's up with support too, they literally take days to give you the simplest answer, either they are being hammered with tickets or they need to hire more ppl.

    Same thing happens here the game crashes without a error
    Just pray for them to release a update to fix that

  • moist se
