Sea of Thieves Server disconnect error every 2hours, gets frequent until full Xbox reboot,...

I think the XB1 has a serious network stack/software issue. I also get frequent disconnects, can't find DHCP server messages, or otherwise random networking disconnects and errors that can only be fixed will a full hard reset/reboot.

Been happening since August 2014 update, and has not gotten any better thru Sept-Nov updates.

PLEASE FIX THIS XBOX.

A few interesting things... regarding WiFi on my xbox.

If connected to a WPA or WPA2 secured 5Ghz or 2.5Ghz strong signal etwork, within 5mins to 1 hour the connection will drop, and always reject the correct password until the XBox is hard rebooted.

If I connect to an OPEN 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz connect, it's slightly more stable but still drops connection when 'off (sleep). As when I turn my xbox on again it has disconnected and will NOT reconnect without a full reboot.

Hello, and thanks for getting in touch. I'm Aileen, and I'm here to provide you with advice as an independent advisor.

The “StrawberryBeard” error usually isn’t caused by actual server downtime. It means Sea of Thieves can’t connect to the servers, but the problem is almost always on the local device, network, or account side. The servers are currently online for all platforms, including PS5.

Here’s what I recommend trying:

Check the Sea of Thieves server status page

Visit: https://www.seaofthieves.com/status

If there’s a real outage, it’ll be posted there. As of now, no widespread PS5 outages have been reported.

Test your internet and NAT type on PS5

Go to Settings > Network > Test Internet Connection

Sea of Thieves needs an open or moderate NAT. If it's strict or if there's a DNS error, you might see StrawberryBeard every time.

Use a different network or hotspot temporarily

This helps rule out a router or ISP issue. Some home networks block the ports Sea of Thieves needs.

Reinstall the game

Fully uninstall, reboot your PS5, and reinstall Sea of Thieves. This resets any local file or cache issues.

Make sure you’re signing in with a Microsoft account

Sea of Thieves on PS5 still needs an Xbox/Microsoft account to play online. If login fails at that step, it can also trigger this error.

If you've tried all this and it still doesn’t work, let me know your NAT type and if any other games are having connection issues.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Looking forward to your response.

my issue has been happening for the past month.... i am really getting sick of it, i can connect to live, but get disconnected frequently. i can not play black ops at all (server unavailable error), i start a game, disconnected, i dashboard out of a game,
disconnected again...., cod 4 works fine, mw2 works fine, but black ops and bfbc2 i get server errors almost every time. i am able to play netflix and stream a movie. could it be my adaptor for my xbox? and i get diconnected from parties about every hour.

What is the error code you get in Sea of Thieves.

Hi CptnForesight,

Cyanbeard is one of the beard errors that you may encounter when playing Sea of Thieves. It wants to inform you that your connection to the Xbox Live server or Sea of Thieves server has been disrupted or lost. It also occurs if your device encountered a
network interruption. I recommend that you run the Windows app troubleshooter to scan and repair the game. You may refer to this
link for the steps. You can also try disconnecting your computer to your Internet, restart, and then connect
it back to refresh the network status.

Do get back to us with the results. We'd be more than willing to provide you additional help.
