Despite being a great medium for it, I don’t think there are quite enough pirate games. Sure there’s the Monkey Island series and, yes, there was the wonderful Assassin’s Creed 4: Blackflag, but I still want more. Lucky for me, Sea of Thieves exists and has been receiving constant updates and events ever since its release in 2017. Unfortunately, it seems like problems such as Sea of Thieves crashing frequently have been plaguing the game recently. Here are some quick ways developer Rare suggests you fix it.

They appear to be hard at work fixing issues as they released another statement today saying that they are continuing to “investigate recent reports of game crashes.”
