I wish to win the game, because I played the demo and got hooked on the visuals and had it on my wishlist since then, but I hadn't pulled the trigger yet. But if I can get it for free, I will definitely start to play that game :D

Does anyone else have issues with ubisoft connect?
Everytime I try to start the game, it says "Connection lost - A Ubisoft service is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

When I "Try Again" it's the same error message. When I "Go offline" it restarts the app and wants me to login again.

I've tried with the newest Proton-GE 7-47 and Proton Experimental. EAC Runtime is installed.

Bought it a year ago. And even though I'm not playing it at the moment, I'm happy that I bought it. It's a really cool game and even has a multiplayer with dedicated server!

Is playing docked "good" now? I remember testing it a few weeks (or 1 - 2 months ago) and I still had issues with either games lagging or input lag of one or two games.

For example:
I got Elden Ring and Monster Hunter Rise running with 30 fps by changing the resolution but I got Input Lag on Monster Hunter (and on Dead Cells). Even when I play directly on my Steam Deck connected to my TV.

I have a 4k TV and switched to Game Mode. And as I said: Elden Ring runs without any input lag.

Has anyone a good tutorial for me for playing docked on a 4K TV? :-)

Dedicated Server? That's it! I'm going to buy that game!
Not that I have it on my wishlist anyway ^^

Quoting: drlambWait what? I play with my brother all the time. He plays the MS Store version on Windows.

All we have to do is us the in-game invite system.

Uuuuh, really? I must admit, I never tried that. I only tried to invite someone via Steam or asked myself how the eff I can invite someone from Windows Store. I will definitely check this! Thanks for the idea! :-D

Quoting: scaineI was quite interested in this game, but didn't realise it had a PvP element. Absolutely no interest in it now, especially if the PvP can't be disabled.

This is absolutely understandable for me. I would love to have PvE Servers for Sea of Thieves. Because for me, the game loop it presents is really enjoyable. But as everyone said (and I think that confirms more or less the toxicity that Solitory mentioned), I think PvP will be dead, if everyone can play PvE only.

For me it's absolutely understandable that someone won't play the game because of the PvP elements. As I said, I hate them, too. Sea of Thieves would be a nearly perfect game for me, if it were PvE only. ^^

Quoting: SolitaryIsn't PVP basically broken in this game? If Steam forums and many reviews are any indication, the game's community is pretty toxic with people just bullying weaker players and lot of griefing, spawn killing, etc., because the game allows for that type of play and time wasting. All of that being excused by the part of that community that is doing it as "part of the game", "realistic pirating" or just "suck it up", while actively disagreeing with any needs for fixing glaring problems that allow for all of that.

Is it possible to switch off the PVP part?

And, could I play with Windows friends?

Unfortunately you cannot switch off the PVP Part.

And I haven't found a way (yet) to play with my Windows Friends (Windows Game Store), if there is no one who plays the bridge between Steam (Windows) and Windows Game Store.

Quoting: EikeDo I understand that correctly, you would like to have voice chat with foreigners?

Yes and No. Sea of Thieves is a PVP and PVE game. That's the one thing I hate about it, even though I must admit, that it gives the game something of a thrill to never know, if someone attacks you, or not.

But I agree with you. I don't want to voice chat with other randoms, but since this game or more or less build around this feature, it's (more or less) important.

And I also must admit, that most of the voice chats I had in this game are kids that harass someone (mostly with a really bad microphone), but I also had a few encounters with very friendly players.

It's as always. I don't want to have voice chat. But I want to have the possibility, when it's given.

I hope my explanations make sense in any way ^^

Quoting: drlambJanuary 13th will forever be a holiday to me. I've played 1200 hours of Sea of Thieves on Linux.

Edit: It works! :woot:

That's a big one for me, too! I always play SoT on Windows because of two reasons:
1. Voice Chat not working on Linux
2. I cannot connect to the session of Windows Store Versions

To be fair, I normally don't play with randoms, so Voice Chat isn't that important for me. But connecting to a Windows Store Session is, because my SO plays with this version and I have yet to find a solution to accept an invitation sent over the Windows Game Overlay
