Sea of Thieves Update Version 1.1.1 Patch Notes, Fixes, and Changes

At 1.64GB on Xbox One and 1.57GB on Windows 10, the latest patch version 1.1.1 isn't a particularly large download. Within are a number of fixes for things like being voted into the brig before the player finishes spawning, sight aim sensitivity problems, and the inability to pick up Skeleton Fort keys dropped into the water.

Naturally, those aren't all of the different tweaks on offer in the update. Here's the full list of fixes and changes presented in the latest patch, straight from the patch notes provided through the official Sea of Thieves website:

• Washed-up items and messages in bottles have returned to the shorelines once more!
• Dropping Skeleton Fort keys in water will no longer prevent them from being picked up again.
• Athena's Fortune Bounty Quest skeletons will now correctly spawn on Thieves' Haven.
• If you encounter this issue, please submit a bug report to our Player Support Team with as much detail as possible on your location.
• Players can no longer be voted into the brig before fully spawning onto the server.
• After equipping a weapon from the armoury, aim sensitivity will no longer default to High the first time you aim down the sight.
• When switching between items and weapons, players will see fewer instances of default models appearing for a few seconds whilst the correct equipped model loads.
• Pricing of the rank 4 and 5 Gold Hoarders compasses are now correct.
• It is no longer possible to accidentally select a pirate whilst watching the intro animation.
• The icon for the Rotten Bilge Rat Shirt no longer appears low-quality.
