How to Fix the Sea of Thieves Marble Beard Error

To fix the Marble Beard error:

  • Check the game servers. If the Sea of Thieves servers have gone down for everyone, you’ll receive a connection error, usually Marble Beard, that indicates such troubles. The only thing to do is to wait, unfortunately. You can check the team’s social media for more information.
  • Reset your router. If the connection woes are on your end, as is commonplace, you can go nuclear and reset your router in the hopes of a more stable connection to the game’s servers. To reset your router, turn the device off or unplug the power supply, and then wait a few minutes. Once two or three minutes pass, turn it back on and wait for your connection to return.
  • Forward ports. If the problem is not with your router’s connection to the internet, it may be because of the game’s ports. Your router may not detect them automatically, so you will need to manually enter and forward the specific ports. For Sea of Thieves, the port is 3074.
