Game Stability is still Terrible

What are you playing in
Heck why am I asking, report this to support

On Xbox Series X, the framerate instability in the present build is disgraceful. The game feels like it’s pushing the console too far, with constant micro stutter.

Wasn’t an issue before the GDK updates.

It makes the performance inconsistent and along with the shoddy bugs present in the latest build, is an awful showcase for the game and the developer’s quality assurance.

Rare, you’re a Microsoft first-party studio.
Pick up your act, fix the game on your parent company’s supposedly premium console platform, before the inevitable comparison analysis videos swamp the internet after the PS5 launch.

I wouldnt say its unplayable, but its far from enjoyable.

I can only expect adding another seperate platform crossplay will add more lag and stuttering as 3 seperate unique venues attempt to run in parralel.

The frame drops / stuttering also happen on PC now. Honestly this game used to run really smooth on my 1080 ti but no longer. I have friends with 4090 cards and they still experience stuttering. It's bizarre.

I foresee the PS5 players getting their first 250K, buying a sloop, and then ranting here on the forums about how their last few thousands spent on shipwright supplies were wasted because they never received the supplies.
I love the game, and it's been consistently heading in the right direction especially when coming to game play and general QoL. But man, things keep breaking. First the PvP bugs, then the shipwright bugs, and now pretty frequent frame drops and occasional crashing either attributed to the videocard or EAC. Despite all the positives, this is least stable I've ever experienced SoT.

PlayStation players in my experience expect a level of quality that is so wildly inconsistent in Sea Of Thieves it's going to be hilarious when it launches.

You are right from my experience:

• Servers especially when in the roar seem to jitter every 3rd second and my ping seems to spike to 150 from 50 constantly for no reason.

• Diving is still causing massive issues where you can't fire the harpoon or can't interact with them at all, not able to interact with the map table or worse not being able to interact with the anchor

• Hit reg is still so messy with people shooting blunders and able to kill you even though the previous spot where you were happened seconds ago.

• Getting soft locked into the supply screen because somehow the game can't register the simplest of actions.

These problems aren't just happening in a 4 hour session. I'm getting nearly all these issues with 15 minutes of each other and probably much less even by then. Admittedly issues that I haven't been having as much is blackscreening and encountering cheaters but the issue is obviously still there. I just want them to do something about Hourglass because they have been following the exact same path as Arena with its life cycle neglecting it for months at a time. If the gamemode gets fixed and modified so it isn't so sweaty and frustrating to lose then more people will play. Then there'll be a wider pool of players then we'll actually get people our level instead of jumping between players with 100 hours and players with 300 days in the game. They'd know these issues if they actually played there own game for an 1 hour or if they'd actually listen and respond to the community about these issues.

They just keep on adding content with no regards to the previous then wonder why no one is left. Its because we've all been burnt to death by the lack of fire extinguishers and water burning down the town. I have gotten to the point where I think hourglass matches are rigged I had a game an hourglass match where the rising water in my ship just didn't make any noise I go to resupply and sank. Then the next match I get the same guy and sink him in 5 minutes.

Don't forget to add that things on the ship still fail to work as you can't interact with them.
Things on the ship disappear i have had my quest table vanish and cannons.
I mean health wise the game is in a poor state and I love the game and glad i finally have the time to invest to play again but the servers and issues wasn't this bad the last time i played what happened.
