Ik the devs just made a bunch of backend server changes, but I think they've made the game perform significantly worse. I have never stuttered and spiked ping more in this game than today. It was almost unplayable. There was one server with a lot of loot, and I could not load my cannon, ping wouldn't let me. Even the calm servers, my ship and I are stuttering all over the place. Am I the only one experiencing this?
What did you guys do to the servers?
@ldog25rams So far, I haven't had any problems with the servers, it may be your device or game. I've had rather smooth gameplay with zero problems with the actual graphics.
I'm NA East on Windows 11 Xbox App. My game is also taking a while to load textures, make trading store purchases, and a variety of other basic functions. It doesn't matter what server or what I am doing (battling, voyaging, drinking grog in the tavern, etc). Lowering my graphics settings (which I should not need) does not help. Last week, my game was running the best it ever has, which leads me to believe the recent update is causing these issues. I am getting consistent frame rates and ping on other games, so I don't think it's an issue with my system.
I am having a similar experience on PC - lag/ping spikes, backtracking, boat even somehow got flipped upside down when we touched an island one time - took a small hole and watched the ship sink suuuuper slowly while upside down while we were stuck in the hull...
Me and my regular crew have decided to take a break because we just can't seem to catch a break from these issues - they have really impacted our sessions unfortunately.
I’m an Xbox 1 player and when season 15 1st came out, there were very positive and notable changes on performance. But after the mid-season update, that all seems to have been reverted for me. This is just my personal experience and I’m using an older console so it could be that. But compared to when the season 1st released it seems to be worse.
Yes! 100% Sea Of Thieves ALWAYS stutters and hitches and eats input, but now exponentially worse lol. I have experienced about 3-4 immersion haulting bugs just today’s play session.
Windows 11. 7800X3D 4070ti SUPER, 64gb RAM, 2Tb SSD. Everything cursed but model detail capped at 100hz. During gameplay it seems the game is about 50% more likely to hitch/stutter, the 20-30fps frame drops for seemingly no reason except “island.”
I have been very vocal about this lately to bring attention to the awful performance lately.
