Patch Notes (V1.1.5)

The original patch notes can be found here.

Ahoy pirates!

We're in the final week of the latest Bilge Rat Adventure – Gunpowder Skeletons! It's your last chance to get all the Doubloons available if you want to ensure you have all the time-limited cosmetics in your inventory before they disappear from the shops. The Commendations and Titles will still be available after the event ends, but the time-limited cosmetics and Doubloons will no longer be up for grabs.

To mark 20 Years of Banjo-Kazooie, players will now be able to purchase a majestic Bear & Bird Figurehead for a very fitting price of 1998 gold! This figurehead is only available during the month of July, so make sure you join in the celebration and purchase it while you can!

This week we've banned a number of players who we've been able to confirm have been cheating. Those players have been contacted via email and we've removed their Sea of Thieves account privileges. We will continue enforcing a zero tolerance policy to this behaviour and taking regular action against any players who are found to be cheating.

## Updates

* Bear & Bird Figurehead - Now stocked by the Shipwright to celebrate Banjo-Kazooie's 20th anniversary.
* Rock the Boat - Upon impact, cannonballs now apply a rocking effect to ships.
* PC Exit to Desktop - Players on PC now have the ability to exit to desktop from the front end.
* Shop Clutter - Player Titles no longer remain in the shop when purchased, reducing the amount of clutter in the clothing shops.
* Megalodon - The spawn timers for the Megalodon have been fine-tuned to offer a wider chance of an encounter.

## Performance Improvements

* Multiple server and client crash fixes.
Further improvements and optimisations for all platforms are ongoing.

## Fixed Issues

* Multiple Megalodons will no longer spawn in the same zone.
* Megalodon encounter music will no longer be heard on the Ferry.
* 'Crew Management' and the 'Allow Friends to Join' text is now localised to all languages.
* There is no longer an invisible rock in Thieves' Haven.
* 'Skeleton Exploder' Title now shows the correct icon in the Vanity Chest.
* There is no longer a wall on Plunder Valley that players can clip through to see outside the map.
* VFX for lighting a gunpowder barrel now correctly appear connected to the fuse.
* Players will no longer be teleported back to their ship when they shoot themselves from the cannon on the north side of Devil's Ridge.
* Header and footer UI in shops is now consistent with the rest of the UI menus.
* The 'More' button on all radials now properly updates when key bindings are changed and will no longer remain the same button.
* Resource barrels on ships will not longer periodically restock if they are below the default level.

## Known Issues

* The 'Gunpowder Plot' Commendation and its Legendary Commendation counterpart may not unlock.
This issue appears to be intermittent and we are investigating its root cause. We are aware that for some players, retrying the Commendation correctly awards it.
* Some players travel in an unintended direction when fired from a cannon.
* Bilge Rat Doubloons have not been correctly rewarded to a number of players who earned them through the Skeleton Thrones event.
We are investigating a resolution for this and will share information when available.
* The Hungering Deep rewards were not received by a number of players who earned them.
We are investigating a resolution for this and will share information when available.
* Upon impact, cannonball knockback also causes unintended damage to fellow crew members.
* The option to enable and disable the Player Talking Indicator has been incorrectly removed from Settings.
* Some players may continue to hear muffled sounds after being fired from a cannon.
We have reports that being fired out of a cannon again clears the muffled sound.
