Most of the problems with Sea of Thieves at launch stem from server load issues, which Microsoft and Rare are currently working through to fix. However, if you're suffering from other errors, Rare recently posted up a list of those pesky 'beard' error codes, and what each of them mean. Here's what you need to know.

This can be caused by any of the following:
Original title: can't download apps from the market!! I'm trying to download apps and games from the market. But it keeps telling me (try again later something happened on our end ) any Suggestions. So i downloaded Halo: CE from X360's marketplace and at 1200 micro points i deserve a refund if not a fix. Anyway after i downloaded it i was greeted by a lovely message saying: Game cannot be played delete game and download it again. SO i try it and it doesn't work. I try it again and it still doesn't work. My xbox 360 says 'The game couldn't start. Try downloading the game again'? I installed dishonored ( an xbox 360 game ) into a 16 Gb flash drive, but now when i try to start the game ( the disc is in the console ) it says: 'The game couldn't start.

Something has happened on our side that we're working to fix. Please check the status of the game at seaofthieves.com for more information.

We have either taken the servers down for an update, or we are not currently running a playtest session at this time. Please verify there is a scheduled playtest running in your timezone.
Lapisbeard
Something has happened on our side that we're working to fix. Please check the status of the game at seaofthieves.com for more information.
Lavenderbeard
Can be caused by Anti Virus/Firewall settings (on PC), but can also be caused by proxy servers and other network management manipulation / tools.
Lazybeard
You have been removed from the active game session due to lack of activity.
Missing items, gold, and reputation
If you're getting errors redeeming equipment, receiving rewards, or getting reputation, it could be an issue with server load. Logging out and logging back into the game forces the server to sync, and your purchased equipment should spawn in one of your equipment chests. As detailed by Rare.
The development team are working on fixing the services responsible for the issue above.
Currently the only method of resolving this issue is to exit to main menu & matchmake back into the game. In extreme cases this may need to be done multiple times.The gold and reputation rewards should merely be delayed (can take a while to come through).
Disconnecting when alt-tabbing (PC)
Players on PC have reported disconnects when alt-tabbing or minimizing the game. Rare is working to fix the issue, but here are some workarounds.
![Can i download games please Can i download games please](/uploads/1/2/6/1/126142148/383150477.jpg)
- To fix this, play the game in Windowed mode by pressing ALT+Enter.
- Laptop battery saver mode can also be the culprit. Either turn this off, or plug your laptop into the mains.
- The game is blocked from running in the background on Windows 10. You can fix this by typing 'background apps' into the Start Menu to access the setting, and making sure Sea of Thieves is switched to 'on.'
- The CPU load on your PC might be too high, try closing some other programs.
- Make sure your laptop is set to 'Best Performance mode' by clicking on the battery icon in the taskbar.
Shader Model 5 (PC)
If you're getting the error message 'Your graphics device does not support Shader Model 5,' it could mean that your GPU is not powerful enough to run the game. Alternatively, make sure your GPU drivers are fully up to date, or try rebooting your PC.
Download the NVIDIA GeForce Experience to update NVIDIA GPUs. And head over to AMD to update AMD-based GPUs.
Stay tuned
We'll update this article with the latest on errors and fixes direct from Rare, all you can follow along at the game's forums or official Twitter for first-hand updates.
You can grab Sea of Thieves for $59.99 for Xbox One and PC (buy once, play anywhere), or by picking up Xbox Game Pass for $9.99 per month.

[Tech] error 0x87e0000f 'Installation Stopped'
Im reaching the end of my rope right now with my xbox one. for a few weeks now I keep getting error 0x87e0000f when it tries to install updates on some games.
It starts to install and gets part way into it and then pops up 'installation stopped', try to redo it and does the same thing.
Xbox Error Please Download Game Against
And xbox support on twitter is about zero help.
I have power cycled. I have tried installing disconnected form my network. I have tired wireless and wired connections. I have reset my router and modem. I have tried deleting my profile and re-downloading it again. I have factory restored the system. It has happened on both my internal and external harddrives.
Download Game Offline
The only thing that 'fixes' it some times, is to 100% delete the game and download it again. and I am sorry that is not a fix. I have 2 games doing it right now. MCC and MKX, to re-download those, would eat up 90gigs of my 300 gigs I get from comcast each month.
Until MS can fix this crap, I am 100% done with digatial games and most likely only buy PS4 3rd party games.
It really sucks b/c I much more prefer my xbox one over ps4, but I also prefer to play the games I have paid for without I have to download them 3 or 4 times a year.
I cant be the only one having these issues??
