Sea of Thieves is an online-only game, and that means you might encounter one of a handful of errors when attempting to connect to the game. A notable error you may encounter is the Stuck on Counting Coins, which happens to you on the game’s main menu well before you’ve begun exploring islands and looking for treasure. This error does have to do with the game’s servers. Here is what you need to know and what you can do about the Stuck on Counting Coins error in Sea of Thieves.
What is the Stuck on Counting Coins error in Sea of Thieves?
We can confirm that the Stuck on Counting Coins error in Sea of Thieves occurs when you attempt to connect to the game, and the servers are going through maintenance.

We recommend checking the Sea of Thieves Twitter page to see when the maintenance happened and how long you must wait. There’s generally an open timetable you can follow, but it might not always be the same based on the amount the Sea of Thieves team needs to work on during this time.
