Bug: Ship speed become very slow even at full wind

  • EF BoBzeSponge

    Hello,

    With the last patch a new bug appeared. Into a game started three hours before, the speed of the ship became very low. In fact at full wind it was like having all the sails raised in normal mode. it stayed like that until we unloaded everything at an outpost. It's very painfull to play at a very low speed. Check if there something wrong. Devs, have you add something to reduce the speed of a full charged ship? ( we had plenty of tresaures into our ship). Is there a problem located into the server?

    It happened 2 times, once on a Galleon and once on a sloop.

    sure you're not the only veteran on this game?

    Your answers always seems very rudes, in all topics. Please do not answer if it's for that kind of answers. Thank you.
    Of course i was in the good way of the wind and i tried a lot of things like raise the sails, deploy it again, change the direction a bit: Nothing changed, we were very slow.

    His question wasn't rude, it's a common mistake at times

    @ef-bobzesponge I too have experienced this while solo slooping the other day - it took me 10 IRL minutes to sail from the closest rocks to Ancient Spire Outpost to the outpost itself; it should've only taken about 1 minute... 😑

    @ef-bobzesponge was just making sure. did your ships speed fix when you sunk? or when you swapped servers? its never happened to me but I dont doubt that it can happen, im just curious as to how to fix it if it does happen

    I noticed it lately too. Maybe it's the ping, I don't know. But at times, even if it was a full wind, it won't go faster.

    I had this issue on a galleon yesterday.

    Hey all, this bug is happening as I am typing this. When I anchor I notice that when the anchor is down, my sloop is able to still move turn (when sails are raised) which isnt suppose to happen. When the anchor is raised and sails are down, the speed is extremely slow.

    maybe a wild guess, but check if the meg isn't stuck under your boat.
    It slows down the full sail speed and makes you move with anchor down.

    @r3d50v13t yea sometimes theres even a bug where wind doesnt show up so I just wanted to make sure he knew if he was actually in the wind.

  • Uglypenguin123

    @lucky-monkee I have noticed that when the riddle that appears on your screen randomly caused by changing servers is when this anchor bug starts for me idk if anyone else has noticed.

    Ahoy there, I know Joe did remember we might start to encounter some bugs as they introduce background work for the new content being announced on March 20th, I'd definitely encourage everyone who's experienced this to submit a Support ticket and let the teams know.

    What’s more common, a SoT bug or a seafarers chest?

    @ef-bobzesponge Make sure you fill out a bug report in the support section. As they don’t check the forums for bugs reports. :)
