Well now, if you’re sittin’ there, scratchin’ your head, wonderin’ why your Sea of Thieves is stuck on that “Signing on for Adventure” screen, don’t worry, I got ya covered. I’ve heard plenty of folks mumblin’ about this same thing, so I figured I’d tell ya a thing or two that might help ya get outta that jam. Now, I ain’t no tech wizard, but I know a few tricks that’ll get things movin’ again!
First off, you gotta try pressin’ that Xbox button, y’know, the one on your controller? Then, you hit that burger button—looks like them three lines stacked up. After that, you gotta quit the game the right way. Don’t just close it out all willy-nilly. Shut it down proper, and when you try again, DO NOT go back into the same session you were in before. That’s the thing, if you keep tryin’ to join the same ol’ session, you’re just askin’ for trouble. I’ve done this a few times myself, and it works every time. I swear by it!
Now, if you’re usin’ the Steam Deck, well, you might have a different problem on your hands. I’ve heard some folks say it works just fine most times, but outta nowhere, it starts takin’ too long to boot up and gets stuck on that “Signing on for Adventure” screen. I reckon it’s something with the system, maybe an update or a glitch. But don’t you worry, there’s a way to work around it.
What I’d suggest, first thing, is to restart the game. Close it all the way down, then fire it back up. But here’s a little secret: Don’t you dare try joinin’ your last session! It’ll just get stuck again. Nope, you want to load into a fresh server. Then, as soon as you get in, look for a book. Yeah, I said a book. Click on it, and it’ll trigger a little cutscene. After that, bam, you’re on your ship and ready to go. Easy peasy!
If you’re playin’ on a regular ol’ PC, some folks said they had the same problem when usin’ Windows Store to get the game. They click on “Start Game,” and then it gets stuck. If that’s happenin’ to ya, there’s a couple things you can try. First, check to see if your app needs a reset. You know how things get all gummed up if you don’t take care of ’em! Reset that app and restart your computer, and see if that helps.
If that don’t work, then you might wanna give it a go by runnin’ the game as an administrator. I know, sounds all fancy, but it just means you’re lettin’ the game have the right kinda access it needs to run smooth. Sometimes these games don’t play nice unless they get that extra bit of permission. You’ll need to right-click on the game icon, then choose “Run as Administrator.” That could just do the trick.
Now, don’t forget about your system, too. Outdated software can be the culprit here. I’ve heard folks say their Sea of Thieves runs just fine, but once they update their system, they start havin’ problems. So make sure your operating system is up to date. Check your updates, and get ‘em goin’ if you haven’t done so in a while.
Some folks also blame the region and time settings. Yep, sometimes if your time or region’s all mixed up, it messes with the game’s connection. So go into your settings and double-check that everything matches up with your local time zone. You’d be surprised how much that can mess things up!
If none of that helps, then it could be an issue with the Xbox Live account or Game Pass. I’ve heard a few stories where people couldn’t connect after a few days of playin’, and that’s usually tied to the online services. Maybe there’s something with your credentials or your login that’s actin’ up. Try goin’ into the Credentials Manager and see if everything’s in order there. Sometimes a little tweak in your settings can fix things right up.
Lastly, if you’re on the Xbox console and you’re still stuck, you might need to clear your cache. Sometimes the console keeps holdin’ onto old data that ain’t needed no more, and that can slow things down. To clear the cache, turn off the console, then hold down the power button for about 10 seconds to drain all the power. Turn it back on, and that should help get things back on track.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ these things are guaranteed to work, but I sure hope one of ’em does the trick for ya. Ain’t nothing worse than sittin’ there ready to sail the seas, only to get stuck before you even get started! I know how frustrating it can be, but don’t give up just yet. Try out a few of these steps, and hopefully, you’ll be back on the high seas in no time!
Good luck, and may your sails be full, my friend!
