Sea of Thieves Closed Beta

[Printimus]

Anyone else get into the closed beta?

Add me and we can play together!

Handle "should" be Printimus, if you cant find me, shoot me a PM.

I think i preordered it, which should give me access. I'll check and let you know.

Edit: Ok, I have beta access, it's just not working. Apparently other people have the same issue, according to their twitter, but their website seems to be down so i can't tell.

Edit #2: Turns out the version that appeared in my library isn't the actual version? Weird. Anyways, i found the actual version and I'm installing it. We'll see if I get the same error. (I'm going to go ahead and blame windows store for this. There's a reason I don't use it.)

Edit #3: (Why is this so bloody complicated.) It seems to be working now, or at least of gotten to the menu. That took way too much fiddling around, though.

Shoot you?

Got it.

I love the physics

 

[Han Burgundy]

Sea of theives? Do you get to play as a Somali pirate in a dingy? Do I get to be the captain now?

I must be doing something wrong, because I can't find a download anywhere... preordered weeks ago.

Not sure if it'll help, but it cant hurt.

That worked, thanks Sraika. As soon as I went to the link the store app opened and had the download button ready.

 

[Sraika]

Ok, my gamertag is Sraika0, or it should be, at least.
What's yours, @Amash-Akura ? So we can meet up.
Also, I attempted to message you, @Printimus , but it kept giving me errors, so i'm not sure if it got through or not.

I cant get it to work at all.... poop.

 

[Sraika]

It's surprisingly fun, actually. I crewed up with 3 randoms and we sailed around doing pirate things, and getting smashed on grog.

There was a tech support page on their website that I grabbed that link from, but it didn't work for me either. I ended up manually searching the store for it (Another reason to hate windows store, eh?). Their website is being incredibly inconsistent for me right now, but if you can get it to load: https://support.seaofthieves.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360000081387-Closed-Beta-Install-Instructions-PC-Xbox-and-Pre-Order-

OK, well, I've found a workaround, though it's a bit... sketchy. Apparently the too early thing only happens from microsoft store orders (Ha! I knew they were the problem. :grin:) So if you cancel your order from microsoft, they'll give you a refund, then just get it off of amazon.

Or instead, the 'official fix', according to their twitter, is to get 'Xbox insider hub' (not even sure what that is, tbh)and then grab the beta from there.

Both of these are stupid fixes, but oh well. Just more reasons not to use microsoft store. :face_palm:
