Sea of Thieves BETA not Starting?

  • its probably that hacky and unnecessary "Crossplay" what is guilty for all that trouble!

  • @professorp0und come on, they have to earn that criticism first. Like Zenimax or Bungie.

    @kaiserg24 in my experience the button needs some work. Ideally, I'd like it to start the game in the future. I haven't tried other buttons yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so.

    Please I can't take it, it's just so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    If you've received an email stating that you'll be granted access to the Sea of Thieves Closed Beta, be aware that this is an upcoming phase and the Closed Beta is not live just yet. No date has been announced, but we'll be sharing more information on it soon!

    So are going to receive an email? Because so far I got nothing. Or is the email just for people who'll play on the PC? Can someone please explain?

  • @professorp0und like he said language isn't tolerated, try keep it to a minimum, kids are also on forums 👍

  • Sorry Boys and Gals I feel a little guilty as I've been absent but checking in and reading past posts I hope everyone is doing ok I see @Sandman929 has a little more hope then previously and I can only say that gives me more hope, Best of luck Rare, hopefully we can play together soon :)

  • @megagamer96 i got mail about 8th dec.

    ***Sea of Thieves' launch is on the horizon, officially happening on March 20th 2018!

    As a Sea of Thieves Insider, you've helped us to build the foundations of this swashbuckling adventure. As a thank you, we'll be granting you free access to the upcoming Sea of Thieves Closed Beta!

    We're excited to talk about the Closed Beta in more detail in early 2018. Until then, allow us to tempt you with the Sea of Thieves pre-order bundle – available now!***

    I have maybe found a solution for the too early thing. I uninstall the game, made a wsreset and create an other Windows account and i can finally download the game on the new windows account without the message "game isn't unvailable". Hope it can help you.

    Moment... how can that be, the purchase is bound to a specific Windows/Store account, how do you mean exactly? if you make a "another"(new?)Windows account you would have to buy the game again.

  • @maqer90fin So it's not important if we received the email or not? I (who pre-ordered) will get access to the beta either way?

  • @megagamer96 I pre ordered and have the beta on both platforms so you should already have it.

  • @rugerrino said in Sea of Thieves BETA not Starting?:

    @n-a-ii-m-a Hi I having been up since 0700 trying to play what is going on, no one knows we just get find "we're investigating" when it looks like a store issue please message use and let us know some of use are really disappointed we cant play.

  • @austinslayer123 hope mixed with desperation. My daughter kicked me off the Xbox to play Overwatch, so my button pushing fingers are recuperating. I can't get on the forum from my laptop, but still can on my phone so I'm just sitting here like a chump.

  • So I expect this will work the minute I have to go to work....sigh

    I pre-ordered the game only on the Xbox back in Dec 10th and downloaded the beta on the Xbox yesterday. I didn't receive any email.

  • @n-a-ii-m-a The same thing happened for me. So sad because I barely missed the cutoff to play the alpha, so i have been waiting forever for this 🙁

  • It's 4hours gone and not fix it , disappointed

  • @poundshi its not fixed still?

  • @sandman929 No worries let them rest, A break is always good (Don't take too many still need your button expertise) Hope your prime button finger can recoup before round 2 of Button madness

  • A friend just got right in. I'm planning to punch her later.

  • After all the hustle on Microsoft Shop (1st time user) and preordering it and finally having it downloaded, im not sure i'll even be able to play this beta...

  • Still Broken???

  • @austinslayer123 kinda ridiculous though, it should be working. The issue that I see is that the closed beta looks like the actual game, and I meant that by which the beta says pre ordered just like the actual game... That I think is rhe issue

  • @n-a-ii-m-a said in Sea of Thieves BETA not Starting?:

    Still Broken???

    They dont work atm, they have to count the money first.

  • @killingcurse1 Yes seems something so simple yet they can't fix ?

  • It's a problem with the pre orders on windows store/xbox store....I cancelled mine, pre-ordered from amazon, used the code they sent me and it worked immediately! I posted a fix on this page earlier about it 👍🏻

  • @karstenx1971 no just do an other account Windows and connect you on Windows store with your windows store account where there is the game

  • @rustyoldpirate I'm ready to be done beta testing the start button of the game, and would use this workaround. But now I've been kicked off my console by my spawn and must wait. Hopefully, all is well in an hour or so and I won't have to. Happy sailing!

  • @tomski091 said in Sea of Thieves BETA not Starting?:

    Three hours late almost.. just for them to seemingly fix an issue relating to access. Surely all they have to do is flag up the issue with Microsoft and get them to rectify?.. This shouldn’t be a technically challenging issue for them to fix, but nearly three hours later here we are. Streamers seem to be playing without issue, and my friend has just told me that Microsoft’s, Xbox on team are now playing and streaming the beta from 14:30 but the rest us consumers are being left waiting like chumps!

    Microsoft Tech support is busy playing :-)

  • @megagamer96 I pre ordered on Xbox and downloaded the beta when it was available 24 hours ago. Same with PC

  • I found the work around or fix or what ever you want to call it. Do not use the preorder game as the beta. Go to the Microsoft Store and click on the Sea of Thieves Beta game. I just downloaded it and yes it is working. It's a bit misleading as the hub does not show it. You have to manually search it in the store.

  • @hydro1313 I have the Beta on both platforms and neither work for me.

  • @hydro1313 I've got the beta and the game itself. So that's not it. But cheers to you for getting in.

    I only did it on the Xbox. So is the email to those who downloaded on the PC or what?

  • @megagamer96 Only email I got was about the order, no code. I searched the Beta in the Microsoft store on PC and downloaded it there.
