Searching the Seas

  • The last 2 times I have attempted to start a session in SoT in the past couple of days, I find myself stuck in the menu screen where it says "Searching the Seas" for much longer - usually, I only see it for a few seconds, but lately, it lasts for 5+ minutes. My connection is good and I'm on a Series X, so I don't believe it to be anything on my end.

    Is this happening to anyone else, or do you know why it might be happening?

  • I have the same issue.

    Not only are me and my friend experiencing it in adventure...
    Even when i was helping my friend grind for arena, we were waiting in the menu for a good 3-5 minutes before finally setting sail.

  • After the previous update, it takes a long time to load

  • Same for me. @galactic-geek

  • Besides some hickups between Arena matches, no issues here (European servers).
    (Sailing in Adventure now)

  • Happens for me on my series x and my pc so I doubt it’s hardware, but I have no idea what could be the cause

  • @mintharp184509 Im fairly certain that is intentional. on a good load. If I alt f4 and rejoin it can be faster than a trip to the ferry and back.

  • I've had it a couple times since the last update, but I would describe it as intermittent - most times it gets through really quickly, but a couple times I've had some long holds on "Searching the Seas" which I haven't had historically.

    I have some blazing fast internet as I live in a major city with an ISP that provides high speeds and I need it for my work, and have been seeing the issue when playing on my Series X (so far have not had it happen on my PC, but with it being intermittent I wouldn't immediately rule that out). Located on the East Coast of the US.

    Thankfully, at least on my end, it has been less common overall compared to quick loads, but it does indeed happen.

  • Australian servers, got nothing wrong over here…
    For once

  • I had this issue as well, i play on steam and i just restarted that and it seemed to fix it.

    Loading in fast now, for SoT anyway.

  • I wouldn't say 5+ minutes, but I have noticed it's been a little longer than usual.

  • Eat a cookie 🍪 🤣

  • Bought the game on ps5. Never joins games. Have 4gbs connection. After 10 min matchmaking failed. One day hopefully i can play the game i paid for.
