Other reasons could be network settings, firewall blocks, or issues with your internet provider. In this article, we will discuss different ways to solve this error.
1. Verify the Server Status
Checking the game’s server status helps you find out if the problem is with Sea of Thieves, like during planned maintenance or unexpected outages. If the servers are down, you can’t fix the connection yourself, so there’s no need to waste time trying to fix your own settings. You can visit DownDetector and IsTheServiceDown to see if there are other users in the same situation.
2. Install the Newest Game Version
Make sure your game is up to date. Old versions might not work with current servers and can cause the Lavenderbeard error. Updating the game ensures all files match the server, which helps avoid connection problems and makes gameplay smoother.
2.1. Doing a hard restart on Xbox One
2.2. Install the Pending Updates from MS Store
3. Whitelist Sea of Thieves executable / Disable security suite
Changing security settings can help fix connection problems in Sea of Thieves. By allowing the game through your security software or turning off the software temporarily, you make sure it isn’t blocking the game from connecting to servers. This helps the game connect properly and can prevent errors like the Lavenderbeard error.
3.1. Whitelist Sea of Thieves executable
3.2. Uninstall 3rd Party Suite
4. Disable Proxy Server
A proxy server can sometimes block or change data Sea of Thieves needs, causing connection problems. Turning off the proxy server helps the game connect directly to its servers, improving communication.
5. Release Xbox Credentials (PC Only)
This issue can be caused by old or broken Xbox login info on your PC, which can block proper server access. Clearing this info resets the login data, allowing a fresh connection to Sea of Thieves servers.
