Sea Of Thieves Update 2.2.0.1 Patch Notes (June 26, 2021) – Captain Jack Sparrow

As a result of feedback from the community, this release predominantly targets a number of improvements and fixes to ‘The Sunken Pearl’ Tall Tale when multiple crews are playing through the experience together.

‘The Sunken Pearl’ Multi-Crew Improvements

• During the Battle of the Silver Blade, resource barrels will now be restocked each time the encounter is reset.
• When a crew completes the Tall Tale and leaves the shrine, it will now reset more quickly, allowing subsequent crews to progress through the Tale.
• The Chest of Everlasting Sorrow will now respawn at a faster rate once taken by a crew, allowing subsequent crews to retrieve a chest.

Gameplay

• When reloading a ranged weapon, sprinting or stowing will now correctly interrupt the animation and restart it again once the weapon is raised.

Tall Tales

• ‘The Sunken Pearl’ – Upon locating Jack’s Compass, it will now direct players more closely to the correct location to make progress.
• ‘The Sunken Pearl’ – When a crew progresses through the Silver Blade battle location, the Siren Threshold will now correctly reset, allowing another crew to enter.
• ‘The Sunken Pearl’ – When a crew progresses through the Siren Queen encounter location, the Siren Threshold will now correctly reset, allowing another crew to enter.
• ‘The Sunken Pearl’ – When restarting the Tale from Chapter Four, the coral needing to be activated to open the door is now correctly lit.
• ‘Dark Brethren’ – Ocean Crawlers appearing during the encounter will no longer emerge from the same location and stand in the same spot.
• ‘Lords of the Sea’ – Leaving the Tunnels of the Damned and starting this Tale in the same session will no longer cause the Siren Spire to become hidden when approaching.
• ‘Lords of the Sea’ – The ‘An Eternal Pirate Life’ and ‘A Pirate’s Life For Me’ achievements now require the correct criteria when progressing through the Tale.

Ocean Crawlers

• When a Crab emerges during a Tall Tale or emergent encounter, it will now show its full animation and not move immediately into an attack.

Pirate Emporium

• Equipping the Eternal Freedom Cannons on the Brigantine will now allow players to fire themselves out at the correct angle.

Performance and Stability

• Improved rate of successful server migrations when reaching the end of the Tunnels of the Damned in ‘A Pirate’s Life’ and ‘Captains of the Damned’ Tall Tales.
• Improved client stability when travelling through the Tunnels of the Damned.
• Improved server stability, reducing scenarios where crews are removed from a game session.
