Last two nights I tried to play and the whole game glitches out. What is going on?! First night try to complete Wild Rose but no npc were loading at Sanctuary and then I try to sell off treasure at Reaper and islands are completely glitched and not rendering in. Last night try to complete tail from final checkpoint and npc were gone from Sanctuary again! I know stuff happens but habitually is not good.
Server meltdown?
Me and my friend are experiencing the EXACT same thing. Two weeks ago we came to sanctuary outpost trying to compete wild rose and no npcs anywhere on island. Came back today having the same problem. Also got sunk by a ghost ship that was invisible after, right before seeing an island that was completely in the sea except the trees.
Come on sot!!Had this happen last night at Sanctuary when trying to complete Wild Rose with a friend. All NPCs and their corresponding emissary tables failed to load. Ship customisation chest was missing. Clothing / vanity chest was present but thumbs didn't load and my outfit did not update on screen.
I also could hear and read other players text chat, but they were nowhere to be seen near us on the map.
We got it to work by taking turns to force close and reload, but there is clearly a bug present in the tall tale.
I clipped and screenshot if it's helpful.Okay, I finished the wild rose quest: I had to start Sea of Thieves, sail to Sanctuary Outpost, then go to the quest table and vote for the Wild Rose tall tale quest (it had saved my checkpoint from my last session where I had both pendants).
Starting the quest from the last checkpoint while at Sanctuary Outpost left the NPCs intact, and I was able to finish the quest by giving the pendants to Madame Olive.
Hopefully this workaround helps others until Rare can see about getting this issue fixed (the issue: when you are in the wild rose tall tale and have both pendants and then sail to Sanctuary Outpost... the server glitches out on you).
