Sea of Thieves Update 1.0.2 Patch Notes: All Fixed Issues
Fixed Issues

- Bounty Captains will no longer spawn multiple times.
Performance Improvements

Sea of Thieves Update 1.0.2 Patch Notes: All Updated Changes
- Ship respawn distance – When a ship sinks, we have significantly increased the distance at which the crew’s new ship will respawn. Ships will now respawn outside of the visible view of the ship that sank them. This is in response to lots of player feedback which highlighted that the previous spawn distance was resulting in “griefing” behavior and stalemates at the forts!
- Mermaid Teleport – Pirates will now have to drop any treasure item they are carrying before being able to see the ‘Teleport back to ship’ option from the mermaid. We saw feedback that players were accidentally leaving treasure behind in the sea, so wanted to make it more clear that when you teleport you leave your treasure behind!
