If struck by Marblebeard, it's time to begin troubleshooting your network. Fortunately, a few simple steps will likely resolve the issue:
- Ensure that you're connected to the internet. If the device you're playing Sea of Thieves on can't connect to the Internet, check another device to see if it's a local problem with the Xbox console or PC.
- If the problem is local with the Xbox or PC, reboot it to see if that resolves the issue.
- If no device in your home network can connect to the internet, power cycle your modem and router, ensuring you leave the power unplugged for at least 30 seconds.
- Should your modem / router / gateway be unable to connect and power cycling didn't resolve the issue, reach out to your ISP for support.
