I'm hoping that someone can help, as I have been unable to find a solution through multiple searches and watching numerous help videos in various languages.
I am able to play Sea of Thieves without any difficulty on my desktop computer. I installed it on my travel laptop and have never been able to play it. I always receive the error "The Sea of Thieves Services are temporarily unavailable. Please try again later (Daffodilbeard)." It gets to "loading suplies" when trying to start and has never gotten beyond that point.
On the SoT support page, it claims this means: "Something has happened on our side that we're working to fix." That does not seem to be correct, however, as I can play it on my other computer literally sitting next to this laptop, and it has always given this same error, and I have never been successful in playing the game on this machine.
The laptop in question is running Windows 10, and I have the game through XBox, not Steam.
I have tried the following:
- Signing out of the XBox app multiple times
- Removing all of the "xbl_ticket" entries in Credentials Manager
- Restarting the computer multiple times
- Completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game
- Confirming that SoT is on the allow list in Windows Defender
- Turning off all antivirus programs, including Windows Defender
- Trying to run it with a VPN and without
- Trying it at two different locations, on two different Wifi networks (home and away)
- Unistalling and reinstalling the XBox and XBox Live apps
- Resetting the XBox Game Bar app (system won't allow for uninstalling)
- Smacking my laptop a few times
Any help would be great, as I'm out of ideas.
Thanks!
