Game Breaking Supply/Player Bug

  • Recently whilst grinding for the 'Legend of the Sea of Thieves' commendation, I did many skeleton fleets. During which I would use an open crew brig. When other players join my crew whilst the ship is in the active skeleton fleet, 90% of the time their character would spawn in without any of their clothes on (although I don't think the player can see they've spawned in at this point) and then seconds later they die. It is possible to revive these players, however if you choose to do so, this player's inventory is bugged and they can take unlimited supplies from any container in the game. This is unbalanced for the crew itself as well as PvP encounters with other ships as this player has as many supplies as they can find to put in their inventory.

    I have also seen this a few times whilst at a skeleton fort, I am not sure if this happens during other world events or other occasions. I am also sure this has been a bug in the game for a while.

  • Had this happen a few times, never got to keep more than the actual limit though yet the game would still let me take as much as I wanted. Had many people fully delete my cannonballs when they first join because of this... great job Rare...

  • Yep, this is a known issue for about two years now, ever since skeleton ships were added. It used to be that player would get stuck loading in forever (black screened), but now I only seem to see the bug you are referring to, and also once experienced the one @HurricaneGriz mentioned in which my cannonballs seemed to vanish from being emptied into oblivion.

    Nothing can really be done, I don't think Rare knows how to solve.

  • @calicorsaircat they way they "solve it" is by killing the player. You need the player to die instead of reviving them so that it restarts the pirate. Have a bug? death is usually the fixer. Got trouble loading in gold, just die.

  • @weststormborn

  • @shifty189 having trouble with code kill it XD
