The first post-launch patch for the MMO will be released on 6 October. We summarise the most important changes and bug fixes.
Patch 1.0.1 and with it the first update for New World is in the starting blocks. Those of you who have already managed to get a place on the overcrowded servers can look forward to a number of bug fixes and other adjustments.
Unfortunately, there is also bad news on the server front: The update does not yet bring the announced character transfers and larger server capacities. According to the official blog post, the developers are still working on this – at least the free transfers are supposed to be released in the week of 6 October.
The most important info on patch 1.0.1
When will the update be released? You can download the patch from 6 October 2021 at 12 noon.
Better Performance: In War Mode, New World should now run smoother after projectiles from towers are calculated differently (no longer as physical objects).
Against AFK-ers and full servers: Players will now receive a warning faster if they are detected as AFK on a server. They will also be kicked out of the game five minutes faster if they ignore the notice. As it can be difficult to get onto a server, some players had recently tried to stay in the game even if they were not playing at the time. This, of course, exacerbates the overpopulation problem.
No more queue accidents: Before you leave the queue of a server, the game will now ask you again if you really want to do that. Apparently, there have been a lot of complaints that people accidentally click on Exit.
The rest of the patch notes consist of bug fixes and minor adjustments, especially to certain quests.
