Bugs Found (please read and contribute)

  • Ahoy fellow pirates and sea dogs alike. I decided to spend the past few hours of my beta time testing for any and all bugs. I feel having access to such a good game beta, and with all the Rare workers have been doing for the community, that I should contribute to the games final stage. I will be formatting these bugs in a way to make it simpler for Rare’s workers to recreate/fix, so if you have any contributions please follow the format.

    Format:
    Bug Name (just create one)

    Description:

    Location (if felt needed):

    Suggestion for Fix:
    —————————————————————
    Bugs:
    Mermaids Hole to Hell

    Description: On Mermaids Hideout there is a hole in the middle do the map. Upon falling through this hole, the player is trait under the land unless glitching out, or inevitably drowning eventually. However, I had a case where neither of these happened and I required a reboot.

    Location (if felt needed): Mermaids Hideout

    Suggestion for Fix: Simply patch the hole.

    Infinite Grog

    Description: If at the equipment station, you are able to drink your grog, switch to a different tankard, and the grog is restored. This can happen infinitely.

    Location (if felt needed): Equipment Stations

    Suggestion for Fix: Don’t have the tankard start with grog, require the tankard to be filled before drinking the first time.

    Sloop Ladder F*W

    Description: If standing on the second deck of the sloop (bottom to top wise) the player is able to look out of the rectangular window and if facing the ladder corner, can glitch through the wall and grab the ladder.

    Location (if felt needed): Second Deck of sloop (one with map).

    Suggestion for Fix: Make the ladders only accessible from the lower portion or move the window down a bit.

    It Can Fly!

    Description: This is going to sound a little strange. Upon killing a shark in shallow waters, The shark sunk and then
    raised out of the water before dropping back in. To re-create this is difficult however I have had it happen multiple times when near out-posts

    Location (if felt needed): Shallow Waters

    Suggestion for Fix: Ajust shark clipping in the ground? Or don’t have sharks near shallow waters but that’s no fun

    Rapid Fire

    Description: This one isn’t as much of a bug as it is a abusable maneuver. If the player has all three weapons ,including the blunderbuss not the sword, loaded they are able to fire, switch weapons, then fire immediately again, switching weapons one more time, and firing, allowing for high damage output in very short time . Well it isn’t exactly accurate if all shots hit at close range it will instantly kill a pirate.

    Location (if felt needed):

    Suggestion for Fix: add a short duration of waiting before a weapon can be fired after being pulled out.

    Wall Clipping

    Description:. If standing upon the clothing box in the sloop the player is able to walk forward and spam jump, this has led to me glitching through the sloop wall, falling, then appearing back in the floor.

    Location (if felt needed): Clothing Box on sloop

    Suggestion for Fix: Make the box so you can not jump on top.

    Faster Emptying

    Description:. If the lower portion of the sloop is flooding, The pirate can use the bucket to grab some water, then if standing by the equipment box, can equip a new bucket, scoop, and repeat as the water does not transfer between bucket types.

    Location (if felt needed): On the sloop clothing box. Assuming works on the galleon as well.

    **Suggestion for Fix:**Simply make it so that if a pirate switch is buckets the water is dropped and not collected.

    Neck Issues

    Description: Sometimes after firing a gun, my character’s turn speed is super slow. Not sure if interested or not but it happens.

    Location (if felt needed):

    Suggestion for Fix: Not Sure

    Chests On Chests

    Description: I’m not sure if this is intended but chests have no clipping with each other, this can lead to a ship having many many chests all stacked right upon each other making managing space no longer a necessity, and making it nearly impossible for someone invading to grab a specific chest.

    Location (if felt needed):

    Suggestion for Fix: Add clipping to chests

    1000 grogs, 0 colors

    Description: I’m sure everyone knows this by now, however I’ll add it, the Chest of 1000 grogs has no color when not held by a pirate.

    Location (if felt needed):

    Suggestion for Fix: Add color?

    Ship down

    Description: A few times I have spawned with my ship sinking already, I can assume this is because of how close the ship is to shore and the dock, the act of spawning it led to holes before I could make it there.

    **Location (if felt needed):**Spawn

    Suggestion for Fix: Spawn ships slightly farther out.

    No ship?

    **Description:**Along with a sinking syndrome Spawn, I’ve also encountered there being no ship and the mermaids just take me to the tavern.

    Location (if felt needed):

    Suggestion for Fix: No sure to be honest.

    bug
  • Bug Name missing ground

    Description: on mermaid's hideaway , near to interior cliff, it missing ground and we falled in the sea under the island

    Location (if felt needed): mermaid's hideaway

    Suggestion for Fix: place a ground

  • I will report any bugs I run into here. Great work guys!

  • Also, there is a hole in the map at Mermaid's Hideaway that I've fallen into multiple times. Thanks for the post!

  • Bug. Freeze
    Game started freezing the stop and the freeze again and stop and kicked it is in my feeds video of it

  • @fue1ed-by-fire thanks! We’d love if you can could contribute anymore. Please Upvote so more pirates and hopefully rare can see these.

  • @lb-twisted how do you upvote?

  • Name: Treasure riddles not updating correctly.
    Location: It has been every riddle with 3 parts to it so far for me.

    Description: so if I remember correctly, the game only puts a chest in the game if someone opens up the treasure map. With riddles, I think it only does that when they get to the last part of it. With two part riddles I see no issues, but with 3 part riddles it seems like the game doesn't update it correctly. One of them I had to find a tunnel entrance, which I found. I lit it up, stood there for a while, looked through everything and did a few more things and it never updated. Another I was to get to the entrance of a cave next to the water. I got there and the riddle updated saying to look for the stone grave of the swordsman. Not sure if it could be something else but after 30 minutes of looking I never found the grave.

    Fix: with riddles, (if I am assuming how the chests are placed correctly) have the chests and anything you need to find put there when you first discover the riddle instead of as you go along

  • Bug Name: Monotone
    Description: Upon returning from the Ferry of the Damned, the completely monotone "whir" that can be heard faintly in the background whilst drunk or teleporting began to, and never stopped, playing. I'm not entirely sure that this glitch has a definite cause, but the one time it did happen it was, as I described, upon returning to the land of the living. Thereafter, it continued to echo about until I logged-out for the night.
    Location: "Everywhere... It was all around me, but I couldn't see it. Or stop it!" (It could happen anywhere)
    Suggestion for Fix: Do a little buffer work on sound effect triggers(?)

    Bug Name: Lens Cap
    Description: (On Xbox: One) For one reason or another, I find myself incapable of taking in-game screenshots or recording clips of any length. It is entirely possible that this is an issue isolated to my console (as this would certainly not be the first off-the-wall glitch my system has encountered that no one has ever heard of before), but just in case it isn't I'll post about it: Every time I make a clip or take a screenshot, the capture is swallowed-up by an unseen black-hole. This has become particularly aggravating since the start of the "Lizalaroo Lantern" competition.
    Location: None
    Suggestion for Fix: Provided this issue is larger than just my own Xbox, it may be possible that whatever mechanisms prevented players from sharing in-game content are still doing their job, and need simply to be turned off.

  • Bug Name: Treasure Chest Stick

    Description: When Treasure chests are dropped off sharp cliffs or mountain sides they easily become stuck, &/or clip half way into walls onto the side of cliff edges making them impossible to recover, even when one attempts to jump off the cliff trying to pick them up on your way down.

    Location (if felt needed): Mountain sides (land)

    Suggestion for Fix: Unless this was done purposefully so pirates have to hold onto the chests the whole way to the boat with no short cut throwing chests. Chests need to be able to slip more readily from hill side terrain or simply roll down steep inclines without sticking. Or one could simply allow players to be able to land on top of chests so you could then pick them up from where they became stuck, though I'd imagine this could cause a wealth of other problems.

  • @brownsuprize I've experienced that too, had a clue that told me to raise my lantern and it absolutely refused to activate the next riddle. had to exit the voyage sadly.

  • Instead of posting them here, I'd recommend sending them over using the Support tab or via the feedback form that you will receive after the beta.

    Also note that if something happens once or such, don't expect it to be a bug. Infinite Grog doesn't sounds like a bug, more like heaven :)

  • Those sharks were just going to their shark lord. They were darn good sharks and earned their way into the sea in the sky where the fish are plenty and so are the surfers. Don't punish them for this :(

  • @lb-twisted @NiarkInside @Fue1ed-By-Fire @PlushDEATH-CRY @FBRUBBERDUCKY @Liluschi @BrownSuprize @Poptart31415 @Kyubi-o-Kitsune @TheShakySurgeon

    I know you all mean well by posting your bug reports here, but due to the massive influx of players & forum posts, this will probably get swallowed up & may not get read by the devs.
    I would urge you to post your bug reports through the support link below. These 'tickets' are sent directly to Rare, so will definitely be read & acted upon!!
    https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new
    Please keep up the bug hunting & enjoy the game as you do :)

  • @logansdadtoo Thank you for the redirect!

  • @brownsuprize I am having the same issue with riddle maps that require you to use your lantern to reveal the next clue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice and this still continues to happen. Even when I am playing with other people I am not able to make the reveal. I have to have them do it. Music reveals work fine though.

  • Bug Name: Sword Underwater Speed Glitch

    Description: Timing a charge attack just right in the air results in underwater superman

    Location (if felt needed): Anywhere with water, like the ocean :P

    Suggestion for Fix: Cancel dash forward animation in the water?

  • @wickedroguewolf Do you know that you can lift the lantern with the right mouse click (or RT on Xbox I think)?
    Minute 4:47

  • Glitchy stairs in the ship, underwater animation near cannon ball barrels

    Description: If ship is in movement, it is sometimes impossible to walk in the ships lower decks. Sometimes you can't leave a stairway. And sometimes it's like you are under water, with no reason.

    Location (if felt needed): bigger ship all lower decks, under water is mostly at the cannon ball barrels.

    Suggestion for Fix: programming it right would fix that i quess.

  • Format:
    Bug Name: Blown out of the water
    Description: After sinking a small ship with my fairly large ship(I know kind of mean but they did shoot first). The ship went across the sky and did a few flips, this happened multiple times.
    Location (if felt needed): Might be the shallow water causing this
    Suggestion for Fix: I mean I think it is cool to see, but maybe just going into the deep is good.

  • Magician Pigs

    pigs keep vanishing from cages.
    Took mission to sell pigs, collected pigs on two separate missions. On both missions the first pig loaded onto boat vanished. Second mission had 3 pigs of which first two loaded vanished. Should be noted empty cages remained.

    Update: Was sailing just now to turn in individual pig, pig vanished from cage. two cages remain on deck where they were placed occupied by pigs and are now empty.

  • Bug Name Not so pirate'ish memory leak?

    Description: After ~20 minutes, the GPU (1070) goes up to 99% usage and makes the game freeze. While it is frozen, there is no usage at all. Around 10 seconds later, you can play again, but now everytime you interact with something, it freezes again. It also makes future textures not load anymore and NPCs dissapear. It makes the game unplayable.

    Suggestion for Fix: Restart......

  • Bug Name: the chest is stuck during excavations

    Description: during the voyage we had two maps. On the first island, the chest got stuck half way.
    How to Fix: We sailed to another island, and when we got back the chest was already on the ground dug up.

    Bug Name: no wind

    Description: As you can see there is no wind on the screen :)
    How to Fix: Just need to cause the game to load (die, get on the ship through the mermaid, exit the game)

  • Bug Name: wrong skeleton's respawn

    Description: skeleton spawn and stuck
    How to Fix: Just kill this poor guy

  • Bug Name: One Gun Only

    Description: For some reason I can only equip a weapon in the first slot there is no weapon in the second slot and pressing ( Y ) does not swap to any other weapon I can change the first slot weapon but there is no second slot weapon.

    Location (if felt needed):

    Suggestion for Fix: IDK gimme another gun

  • Thanks for posting about bugs you find, but make sure you also submit a Bug Report through the Support page so the that the bug can be logged and tracked properly by the Dev Team.

  • Bug name : performance and lag on xbox one x

    Description: This was something I had no issues with during the closed beta.... It seems to be since the xbox one x assets were put onto the game. Screen tearing and judder is very common plus continuous glitching in the game where the player moves a few feet on its own and the sea and islands have pop in

  • Format:
    Bug Name: Ladder Drop

    Description: everytime I climb a ladder once I get to the top I just fall off and it take's about 10 to 30 attempts just to get onto my boat

    Location (if felt needed): Any ladder mostly the ones on the side of ships

    Suggestion for Fix: idk just fast please it's very unplayable and is making me a little mad
    ————————————

  • Pig quest disappear from crate when reaching Outpost. Happened twice so far!

  • The main problem I have, is my character skipping forward, backwards, and sideways, while walking, fighting, or climbing the ladder. It is very annoying and makes me want to trade the game in if this is not fixed within the next couple of patches I most likely will trade this game in. The game is fun and all except for this problem I'm having.

  • Scuzzy19 U have to feed the pig bananas every so often or it will die it usually squills before it dies

    This is happening to me, and it's straight up infuriating. Been playing since alpha and never experienced anything like this.
