Sea of Thieves Update 1.301.783 Patch Notes for May 10:
So far, Rare has listed the notes for hotfix 3.0.0.1, which isn’t dated, though we assume this is the one we got today.
Gameplay
- Crews engaging a Megalodon should no longer find that it suddenly becomes passive and leaves the encounter. Be prepared to fight!
- Players are no longer able to get into a state where they can rapidly throw many throwing knives faster than intended.
- Shooting a ranged weapon at a player holding a Gunpowder Barrel should now consistently hit and detonate the barrel first, rather than sometimes hitting the player behind it.
The War Chest
- Players firing a Bone Caller at Skeleton Ships should now progress the Skeleton Squared Commendation.
Pirate Emporium
- The Blow Bubbles Emote has now had its price corrected from 249 to 149 Ancient Coins. Players who purchased the emote at the incorrect price will be reimbursed 100 Ancient Coins.
- New players who have yet to purchase any Ancient Coins are no longer shown an error when attempting to acquire items marked as free in the Pirate Emporium.
Performance and Stability
- Players on Xbox attempting to play Sea of Thieves before the full game package has been installed should no longer experience instability during play.
