Ahoy there mateys,
It seems there's a pretty big round of issues going on at the moment. While we wait for an official word from Rare, I figured I'd create a topic dedicated to the issues at hand just so everyone knows what's been said.
Feel free to comment on this topic if you experience the same things or found something else that hasn't been listed here. This topic will be updated accordingly.
As always, if you encounter an issue / bug make sure to submit a support ticket.

Order of Souls
FIX INCOMING: Over the course of July 12 (BST) a hot-fix will be applied with an all-clear expected on July 13 (BST)
It seems the Skeletons have taken a break and are now on a well deserved holiday. This is rather annoying for anyone doing Order of Souls or Athena's Fortune voyages.
Addition: Apparently the issue is only there for Athena's Fortune voyages.
Pirate Details
FIX INCOMING: A fix will be applied during the maintenance schedule on Wednesday July 18
UPDATE ON FIX (July 17th 10:50am BST): Unfortunately the scheduled maintenance has been pushed back. Will have more info soon.
Players may experience details of their pirate (such as hair colour / scars) looking different from their initial selection.
Here's an update from Rare for the above two (Athena and Pirate Details) issues:
Update July 12th 1:29PM BST:
Sea of Thieves on Twitter / X
Update July 13th 10:45AM BST:
Update July 17th 10:50AM BST:
Unfortunately the previously scheduled maintenance where the Pirate details would be fixed has been pushed back.
[FIXED] CoffeeBeard error upon joining
There are reports of some players not being able to join with the following error message:
Failed to connect to sea of thieves server. Please check your connection and try again. (Coffeebeard)
Rare is aware of the situation and are working on a fix.
UPDATE July 13th 15:22pm BST:
CoffeeBeard has been defeated. Players should no longer be experiencing matchmaking issues.

"Legendary Skeleton Exploder" Title
It appears that the previously earned commendations aren't being counted towards the total of 120 to be able to earn the new title.
There are reports of players being able to equip the title even though they haven't completed all three 'Legendary' Commendations yet.
If you have actually completed all commendations for the event you can still purchase the title for 0 Doubloons from Duke even though that particular commendation appears bugged at the moment. (Thanks for the mention @CptnPotBeard )
Stacked washed up items
Several items that can be found washed up ashore can be stacked together in large numbers. This includes 'Message in a Bottle', relics, skulls, chests and goods.
Pirate Avatar issues
The UI and pirates in the 'Select Your Pirate' carousel may not be visible for some players.
Update on this issue:
There are some reports of pirate avatars not appearing in the main menu. According to @Micro666, who filed a bug report and got a reply, the test team is aware of the issue and are working on a solution. Expect it to be resolved in a future update!
Mermaid hitbox vs damage distance
There are reports of players being able to attack the Mermaid Statues without being damaged by the statues. It appears this is only possible at certain angles, though.
Random game crashes
There are reports of players who's game crashes at random moments. Unsure of the cause, but a fix might be to reinstall the game.
I'll keep you guys up to date!
