Update 2.6.1.1 for Sea of Thieves is available to download on Steam, requiring around 4.05 GB of free space on your device.
In this update, developers added a new limited-time adventure, which will end on September 29. The developers also fixed some issues, with plans of fixing more issues in the future update.
New Adventure
The latest adventure is called Sirens Prize. In this adventure, Belle uncovered some information about the “Time of Resurrection,” and she is gathering pirates who are ready to follow her plans. To begin this quest, meet Larinna first and head toward the Plunder Valley to group up with Belle.
Upon completion of the adventure, you will receive an exclusive Title and a cosmetic reward.
Sea of Thieves Update 2.6.1.1
Fixed Issues
Captains of Adventure Milestones
- Players reaching Class 50 in any Pirate Alignment will now unlock the achievement entitled A Professional Pirate. Players who had already reached Class 50 in an Alignment prior to this update will just need to raise the Class again to trigger the achievement.
- Players reaching Class 50 in any Ship Alignment will now unlock the achievement entitled A Seasoned Ship. Players who had already reached Class 50 in an Alignment prior to this update will just need to raise the Class again to trigger the achievement.
Pirate Emporium
- When browsing the Pirate Emporium, the Mandrake Costume now shows the correct artwork.
Known Issues
Legend of the Veil Shipwreck Graveyards Temporarily Disabled
- Following reports of server instability and potential economy impact, crews taking on a Legend of the Veil Voyage will temporarily no longer find themselves directed to a Shipwreck Graveyard as part of their Voyage. The team are working on a resolution and intend to return this experience in a future update.
Saved Ship Customisations Not Persisting
- Captains may find that saved customizations such as ship liveries and decorations do not always persist between sessions.
Reduced Server Performance
- Players may experience scenarios where they encounter ping spikes at random while playing, resulting in rubberbanding or client stutters. While improvements were most recently released in update 2.5.3, the team continue to work on further improvements for future updates.
Ranged and Melee Weapon Hit Detection
- In areas of intense action, players may find themselves firing shots or landing strikes that do not cause damage to their targets. While small improvements continue to be delivered during our regular updates, we are continuing to investigate and identify further improvements to the player combat experience.
