@flashkannon5118 the spear is the cheapest thing to buy i believe so i just go to that. But you can really buy anything and it fixes it

I usually just go buy a cosmetic in one of the gold shops... But after years of doing it, I'm running low on things to buy 😂

@elmo6842
Ah, to be clear, as I realize I was being imprecise in my language - I just meant keep the center of your over the merchant so you keep seeing the interaction commands (it's not as if there's a crosshair on PC either)

I may try that hunter spear trick, though - I still need to spear a few ships for a commendation. Always good to have more workarounds in your back pocket.

@flashkannon5118 what if you don't have a crosshair 😂😂 lol console players don't have those. But I had 90% of my crates not show up so what i would do is go buy a spear from the Hunters call or buy your captaincy supplies after you buy your crates then it will let you retrieve the items.

I have had some issues specifically with retrieving the crates (though, I am immensely glad to see them giving it an update!) - I have found the most likely way to get your crates is to stay perfectly still with your crosshair over the merchant representative.

I had this issue and contacted rare yesterday. They said they were sending the report to their teams.
