News tip Death Penalty Ended Skull and Bones: How to remove the persistent message from the wheelhouse?

A summary of all our guides on Skull and Bones

Death Penalty… Why is this message appearing?

Although the exact cause of this message is still unclear, it may be that it appears following actions you take against wheelhouse renegades.

Wheelhouse, if you don’t already know, is part of a skull and bones smuggling network in connection with Yanita Nara of Pont Mutt de Sainte-Anne.. Transporting White Skull Rum or attacking one of their merchant ships seems to be enough to bring down their wrath on you.

For our part, we accidentally ran into one of their ships. Except we ran off to another objective, not taking time to eliminate them. And when the ship stopped following us, the message “The death penalty has ended” appeared. So it could be that one of the boats in the wheelhouse being run away or stolen is one of the reasons why this message appears.

If you have escaped one of the wheelhouse ships that were chasing you or looting from them, this message may appear on your screen multiple times. While logically, it should only appear once.

However, a bug causes this message to be generated indefinitely even though the event has ended. It then pollutes the screen and prevents immersion. To overcome this persistent message, you have various solutions available.

• Completely exit Skull and Bones and restart the game : Although this may be the most redundant solution, it allows you to prevent some display bugs, especially the “death sentence has ended” message.
• Talk to the NPC : Buying resources or engaging in conversation with NPCs can help overcome this message
• Get a new contract : New contracts trigger a message on your screen. The latter thus has the opportunity to cancel the “retired death sentence”.
• Press your ‘Space’ key repeatedly (PC) : This tip is funny, but many testimonials from PC players seem to work. So, when a message appears on your screen, hammer your ‘space’ key to hopefully delete it permanently.

And that’s our best advice to try to avoid the constant “death penalty is over” message. However, the latter may persist in spite of everything: in fact Ubisoft still hasn’t really taken care of this bug, so we have to wait for a fix to not have to deal with this anymore..
