Cannonball Barrel Bug

  • Yesterday, while playing on a sloop with a friend, we encountered not one, but two bugs with the cannonball barrel: 1) when you attempt to open it, it immediately closes again, which makes it impossible to access to store or take cannonballs; and 2) when you put store or take a cannonball, it immediately closes, only allowing you to take or store cannonballs one at a time, forcing you to re-open the menu in between each cannonball. Both bugs seem to last for a short while before auto-correcting, but it is incredibly annoying, and effectively breaks the game when cannonballs are needed (such as when you're under attack by an overzealous pirate crew - and yes, that did happen).

    I am just trying to figure out if Rare is already aware of this particular issue, or if anyone else has also experienced it, before writing up a report. If you have experienced this issue, please share your experience with it here.

  • @galactic-geek Ahoy matey!

    Sorry to hear you are having this issue. Unfortunately, this is a known issue and is being worked on by Rare. Players are unable to lock onto the barrel UI when moving on the sea.

    Hopefully, this should be fixed soon :)

  • @musicmee I knew (and experienced) something similar that was happening with the floating barrels in the water, but I thought that particular issue was fixed already. Even more interestingly, I don't seem to have this issue with the banana or wood barrels - only with the cannonball barrels. Why is that?

  • I had the same problem yesterday with the galleon...a few hours before that on the brigantine we had no problems
    Hope they fix this soon, was really annoying

  • @galactic-geek
    It does it to all barrels for me and a few of my crew members. The ones that play on PC don’t always have this issue but they do sometimes. I have it continuously on the Xbox as long as the ship is in motion on even the mildest of chop.

  • IMO, this is a game-breaking bug and should be addressed with an emergency patch post-haste!

  • This bug needs be addressed, it happens EVERYTIME i try to open a barrel on my sloop anywhere near an erupting volcano; thus making it impossible to repair my ship or grab bananas when it is urgently needed.. Absolutely love the game but this bug is keeping me from going anywhere near the forsaken shores, which is horribly disappointing. Please try and make this fix more of a priority!
