Rare has confirmed that the recent Kiwibeard error in Sea of Thieves is fixed, and most players can now launch the game normally without errors. The issue temporarily prevented some players from connecting or launching the game due to backend service instability.
However, a small number of players may still encounter the error because of cached login sessions, VPN conflicts, or account sync delays. This guide explains how to fix the error if it still appears.
Kiwibeard Error Is Officially Resolved
Sea of Thieves moderators confirmed that the development team deployed a fix and restored normal access. Players should now be able to launch the game without interruption.
If your game opens and connects normally, no further action is required.
Why Some Players May Still See the Error
Even after a server-side fix, some systems continue to hold outdated session data. This can cause the game to display the same error until the local session refreshes.
Common causes include:
- Stuck Xbox authentication sessions
- Cached launcher data
- VPN or network filtering interference
- Delayed regional service sync
These are temporary conditions and usually resolve quickly.
What to Do If the Kiwibeard Error Still Appears
Only follow these steps if the error continues after the official fix.
Restart the Game and Launcher
- Close the game completely and exit the launcher. Restart your PC and relaunch the game. This clears temporary session conflicts.
Sign Out and Back Into Your Xbox Account
- Open the Xbox app, sign out of your account, close the app, and sign back in. Launch the game again to refresh authentication.
Disable VPN or Network Filters
- Turn off any VPN or third-party firewall tools temporarily. These services sometimes block Xbox Live connectivity.
- Restart the game after disabling them.
Check Server Status
- Confirm that Sea of Thieves services are operational by checking the official status page or Downdetector for real-time outage reports. Avoid repeated launches during active maintenance or service disruptions.
When to Contact Sea of Thieves Support
If the error persists after completing the steps above, submit a support ticket through the official Sea of Thieves support portal.
Include:
- Platform (Steam or Xbox App)
- Error timestamp
- Your region
- Screenshot of the error
This allows faster diagnosis of account-level issues.
The Kiwibeard error was a temporary service issue that Rare has already resolved. Most players should experience normal game launches now. If the error still appears, refreshing your session and network connection usually restores access quickly.
Avoid unnecessary system changes or risky fixes. If the problem continues, official support remains the safest solution.
