Alright, folks, gather ’round, because today I’m gonna tell you about my little adventure with Sea of Thieves and that darn infinite loading screen. You know, the one where you’re stuck staring at that spinning wheel of doom, wondering if you’ll ever get to set sail? Yeah, that one. It was a real pain in the butt, let me tell you.
So, there I was, all excited to jump into some pirate action. I launched the game, picked my ship, and… bam! Stuck on the loading screen. It just kept going and going. I waited, and waited, and waited some more. Nothing. I was starting to think my pirate career was over before it even began.
First try…Failed
First thing I did? I restarted the game. Seemed like the obvious thing to do, right? Nope, still stuck. Okay, maybe it was my computer acting up. I rebooted the whole thing, launched the game again, and… still nothing. The loading screen was mocking me at this point, I swear.
Second Try…Still not working
Next, I went online, looking for some answers. I found a bunch of forum posts and articles about this issue. Seems like I wasn’t the only one suffering. I tried a few of the suggestions I found:
- Updated my graphics drivers – they were already up to date.
- Verified the game files through Steam – everything checked out fine.
- Disabled my antivirus temporarily – still no luck.
Third Try…A glimmer of hope
I was starting to lose hope. But then I stumbled upon a post suggesting to change the game’s display settings. I thought, “What the heck, I’ve tried everything else.” So I went into the settings and switched from fullscreen to windowed mode. It felt like a long shot, but I was desperate.
Success!
And guess what? It worked! The game finally loaded! I couldn’t believe it. After all that frustration, such a simple fix. I played for a few hours, just enjoying the game and soaking in the pirate life. I even switched back to fullscreen after it loaded, and it was all good.
So, there you have it. My journey through the infinite loading screen of Sea of Thieves. It wasn’t pretty, but I made it through. If you’re ever stuck in the same situation, remember to try changing your display settings. It might just save your pirate career!
