    Hey @SeaOfThieves. I've never spent a dollar in the Pirate Emporium. I should, I've spent 1600h in your beautiful game. Let's change that. You fix the cheating problem that's really starting to ruin this game (for me), and I go on a spending spree in the Emporium. Deal? I promise

    FIX for the gargling mic issue in @SeaOfThieves. On Windows 10/11: Settings -> Sound -> Sound Control Panel -> Recording (tab) -> Properties (of chosen mic) -> Advanced (tab) -> click the Default Format menu and scroll down to 96000 Hz (Studio Quality). This “Should” fix it.

  • anxiety_cured Cured Anxiety (@anxiety_cured) reported

    @SmithyBug @SeaOfThieves they already know what's the problem, they themselves said they know what's the cause, you seriously live under a rock, go and educate yourself sparky.

  • SmithyBug Bug Smith (@SmithyBug) reported

    @HobeJoshua @SeaOfThieves And the man continues to make the same post on things unrelated rather than on the forum that is intended to help rare solve issues!

  • ChirpGiga Felix Chirps (@ChirpGiga) reported
