I can't play online on PC

BadChees · Apr 7, 2018

When i try to play Sea of Thieves on my PC, it gives me the "AdvocadoBeard" error and tells me to change some settings on my account. I went to my account but everything there seems fine, and i have no clue what is causing this. I logged in and out again,
and i restarted my computer. But it still tells me to change my settings, even though i allowed basically everything.

Heya!

GodsAssassin007 is correct that this
error involves the need for Xbox Live Gold. However, this is not required for play on Windows 10 even if the game is Play Anywhere.

In order to try and fix this error, let's have you sign out of the Xbox App, then reset the app with the following steps:

Open the settings app.

Navigate to System/apps.

In the system sub-menu, navigate to Apps and Features

Search for the app in question.

After selecting the app, select advanced options.

Tap reset.

You may now re-open the app once more and sign back in.

Post back and let us know how that goes!

As far as I'm aware the AdvocadoBeard error means you need an active gold subscription. Now that doesnt make much sense because you are on pc, but maybe because it's a play anywhere title linked to your xbox proflie you need it? I'd try reaching out to Xbox
live support or the SOT devs on twitter.

Heya!

That error can mean two things, you need Xbox Live Gold or your account is a child account and the parent account needs to allow it access to online communications and play.

Keep in mind that on a PC you should not need Gold so we would surmise that your account is a child account that is being restricted.

Have you the adult account listed on your
Family page sign in and check your
security settings to clear that up!

We wish you the best with that!

Okay, well sorry for anybody who had the same question, because mine just fixed itself when the new season showed up.

Kind sucky that I was literally blocked from playing in the summer but its whatever, I know I will eventually be able to get those cars again through the shop.

I'm assuming that the game had updated but didn't install the update or something because I remember trying to update the game and it kinda worked and kind of didn't because it appeared, but then said that there was an error connecting to the store, then
there wasn't an update anymore. So that was probably it. again, sorry that there is no real answer to anybody else who needs this other than "just wait".

it is not about my region because i'm living in canada specially in Toronto and i used to play during 5 month online even these couple of days when the multiplayer was free , i played online but now i can't again. i bought the gold for a year and now it's
been a month ican 't play. And don't tell me to check my multiplayer connection because i have already done and nothing wrong

Is your account also set to Canada? You can check by going to: account.live.com If this doesn't also match Canada, then you could see issues such as this. Our chat/phone teams can also help take a closer
look.

You can contact Official Xbox Support through either the live chat option (if available) or phone team
