How To Fix StrawberryBeard Error In Sea of Thieves
According to the Sea of Thieves support page, the StrawberryBeard error is mainly due to “…servers being down for maintenance, or external network issues. This can also be caused by Firewall and Antivirus updates blocking the game client, or ISP connection issues.”
Simply put, there’s a wide range of issues that could cause the StrawberryBeard error to happen, so there’s really not one specific fix for it. If you’re experiencing the error, try these steps out and see if it helps:
- Check Sea of Thieves server status through a site like Downdetector. If the problem is on the game’s servers, you’ll be able to find out this way.

- Manually add Sea of Thieves to the list of allowed programs in your Firewall and Antivirus settings.
