Sea of Thieves is off to a stormy start for some players, with many reporting beard errors.

We saw various beard errors pop up during the alpha and beta tests, and the solutions to fixing the majority of them is usually pretty simple.

The most common at the moment are CinnamonBeard, BronzeBeard and FishBeard error codes but there's a few others you should know about. We've listed them all below with help on how to fix them.

And if you're just getting started in Sea of Thieves, here's our advice on how to get on your ship and start quests.

CinnamonBeard, BronzeBeard error code

This seems to be a simple case of not being able to connect to Sea of Thieves. Basically, you need to retry by doing the following:

Press the Guide Button on your controller
Highlight Sea of Thieves
Press the Menu Button (to the right of the Guide Button on your controller)
Highlight "Quit" and press A
Re-launch Sea of Thieves from your Pins, Recent or My Games & Apps areas of your console
Navigate the menu and join a game as usual

GreyBeard error code

Rare hasn't yet detailed the GreyBeard error code but players are suggesting it's to do with matchmaking. Keep an eye out for a solution soon.
