  • @khaleesibot
    The link you have put in the instructions doesn't work!!
    This one - https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9P54WFHG498G
    but if you click it in the instructions, you get a 'sorry the requested page could not be found' message!

    Hmm, it's working for me. I'll post the direct link just in case it doesn't work for someone else too. Thanks for the catch!

  • SO ... After 10 posts ....

    Is there a french problem ? cause i cant download by any way , im really tired ... on the windows store i got this message : game is not avaible yet .....

    and on hub xbox insider , in content i dont have the game -_- , why send me mail of invitation since alpha to this beta and dont let me download ....

    really i need help and please , im certainly not alone , so why dont you link a (Mod Edited) .exe to download this game for god sick

  • @caillot-laurent
    Edit you post m8, this is a family friendly forum & swearing isn't part of it!!

  • @caillot-laurent said in Closed Beta Install Instructions:

    Simply because they don't have a launcher or an installer to link. This goes through the webstore that installs it for you. Apparently those times are long gone when you could double click an installer...:) everything comes with a launcher now at least. Or some connected general platform (Steam, GoG, UPlay, Origin, Microsoft Store...).

    The link does not work for me either:
    1.- Right button - copy link:
    https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9P54WFHG498G
    2.- If I delete "%20%20" the link works:

    Edit: It seems that "9P54WFHG498G%20%20" disappears when posting -_-

  • @El-Espectro-0
    Cheers for confirming m8! I thought my pc was chucking a hissy fit again :)

  • Thanks @khaleesibot! When I get home from work this evening I'll start getting my game updated and my wife's beta installed on my PC. Can't wait to play again! :) If you'd ever like to play with a couple of silly Americans just let us know! yarrrrrr

  • @logansdadtoo Works for me. :) The short link did not.

  • Does no one else see that @Caillot-Laurent has the Deckhand banner?

  • @psych0-knightro
    Coz it was mod edited m8

    Seems like one of the deckhands misplaced theirs when posting ..;P

  • @khaleesibot the download doesn't start it just says Downloading but there is no speed at all. it's just stuck at 3.3 mb. Later edit : Game downloaded just fine ^_^.

    PC Founder installation

    There are three stages from start to finish: Install the Insider Hub, find Sea of Thieves in the Hub and finally install the game from the Hub and Store. Follow the steps below:

    Press the Start key and open the Store
    Search for and install the Xbox Insider Hub
    Launch the Hub and you'll find Sea of Thieves waiting for you
    Click the icon which will take you through to the Store page
    Click install and the download will begin.

  • yes lol now i have :)

  • @kgmshylian i think all works so good :D , then i still cant download the game ... and no one (support) or (admin on forum) can help , so ...

  • Hi,

    Will we also get patch notes soonish? :-)

  • hey i have exactly the same problem as @Caillot-Laurent
    when i click on the link to store i come to microsoft store and it's says "not available yet"
    can't find it in Insider hub only got 1 game there and it's minecraft.
    so how do we solve this problem? couse it's seems no one know how to fix it ? (i have tried everything on the help link)
    mabye there are a redeem code u can give out? becouse when i search on microsoft store for Sea of Thieves i can find it and pre oder or even write a redeem code? For me it seems like the easiest way to solve this problem if know one knows why it we can't se it on the insiderhub? or why the conetent is "not available yet" ?

  • @davin-kenway Same
