Rumblebeard - Kicked for Anticheat Violation?

If you're not cheating I wouldn't worry.

I've seen people disconnected for anti-cheat issues and they pop right back in.

Issues do happen from time to time as nothing is perfect but I've never seen anyone banned (and kept that way) that wasn't involved in some shadiness. Typically if it's a mistake it'll get cleared up but I wouldn't worry if you're not cheating.

@wolfmanbush I figured as much; it's just weird that it showed up before I even got into a session and then let me right back in. Usually the EAC issues block you from even loading in, and the Rumblebeard error seems to be a mystery to all as a google search doesn't even bring up any info on it.

The ones that aren't causing any trouble are typically the ones that worry the most. It's an unfortunate part of not wanting to be involved in trouble for a lot of people.

You'll probably still worry a bit for understandable reasons but you'll be alright. It's been going around, I haven't seen it lead to any big trouble for legit players.

Hey guys, I'm getting this same issue now, unfortunately, unlike what WolfManBush has said this can lead to genuine issues so make sure you have a ticket running so they're aware, I started off with the Hazelnutbeard errors for almost 6 weeks then suddenly being hit with a Redbeard, it then took me almost a month after that to get it overturned eventually and now have this Rumblebeard error so almost 3 months of hassles now. Support so far has just given me the basic fixes none of which have worked but waiting to hear back from them and hopefully get through to some more advanced potential fixes soon.

tl;dr I would be slightly concerned and make sure you have a ticket trail of the issues to back yourself up.

I am getting that error too.
Did not play since 2022 and now i'm a cheater LOL

Also getting that issue. Was stuck on a black loading screen then kicked for the anticheat violation and every time I try to rejoin the session the same thing happens.

I am also getting this error and It's honestly ridiculous I should just be able to launch and play the game

i fixed it with file verify

How do you do the file verify?

@paardenzaad if you're on Xbox Game Pass, right click on the game name on the left side, go to manage, then files tab and you'll find verify and repair, if Steam then just right click on it in your library, go to Properties, Installed Files then you'll see the option there. It hasn't work for me unfortunately. Have tried every fix that Support has shown and a bunch online that I found and nothing has worked yet. This seems like a major issue their implementation of EAC has caused and they'll need to fix on their end. I'm a bit disappointed because support has yet to gather any logs, files or other details from me that would help them ascertain the problem. This could indicate that they're well aware of the issue and that is why they're not bothering with these which they'd need to find out what it is.

To me this seems like an issue with EAC it doesn't seem to run as a backround process when starting the game. Verifing the Game Files didn't seem to help.

After starting the Game EXE File directly from the explorer it works as usuall.

Maybe something with the starting parameters since the start from a pinned taskbar icon didnt work.

@unlikelykoala48 you can find the EXE File under something like this: D:\XBox\Sea of Thieves\Content

Haven't played in years - logged in - told I was a cheat - ????

I got the same error just now. On steam. I bought SoT yesterday and I got the anti cheat violation message after doing the first tall tale chapter a pirates life

@svennisboi I did a file integrity check. Nothing found. But it worked nonetheless.

Downloaded off of xbox game pass. Immediately had issues not able to even load the game. Redownloaded 4 times, twice I downloaded it to my HDD and again on my SSD. Now I finally get the game to load up, I'm getting the "Kicked for anit-cheat violation. (Rumblebeard)" This isnt the only game I have been having issues with, downloaded HELL LET LOOSE and that gave me load errors. It has to be with the game pass authentic coding. All the other games I have previous to the last windows update, they all load up fine.

I have this problem too, what the hell?

I'm having the same issue, can someone tell me how to fix, I have tried a lot but nothing seems to work…

Same for me, downloaded the game again after 2 years without playing and this error pops up. Any answer on how to fix it ?

Also getting this. Please anyone have a fix? Tried verify and repair. Not working

Also have this issue, still no fix?

Bought the game today. Can't even start the tutorial since I'm somehow a cheater.

This just happened to me. Was sailing along with level two gold hoarders flag and after I changed server by diving to the mission, I got that message and now I can’t even launch the game

Come to find out, it seems that game pass glitched or something. Thinks I don’t have the pc game pass for some reason and cannot get it back. Just got it on steam at this point. Shall see how that fixes it

downloaded the update of season 13 but had no time to play at 25th july. today at the morning i tried to play and got rumblebeard error after setting sail. restarted the game and it ended up in yellowbeard... anyone else got the problem too?

I just got Rumblebearded and i played last night too?

Friend finally returned to game and gor this stupid error. We tried everything and nothing helped. Whole evening ruined.
