Fixing the Bronzebeard error is pretty simple, regardless of whether you’re playing on console or computer: you will need to complete quit out of Sea of Thieves. If you’re on console, press the Xbox One’s Guide button on your controller, highlight Sea of Thieves, and then press the Menu button (three horizontal lines), and then select “Quit”. This will close down Sea of Thieves. Now you can restart the game, and attempt to log in again.
