New World’s Bugs and Glitches Are Almost as Bad as Cyberpunk 2077 – Den of Geek

For a better look at the quantity of New Worlds bugs, let me direct you to this official list of known New World issues that the developers were still working on around the time of the games launch. While some of those issues have since been fixed, the majority of the hundreds of bugs the developers were aware of at that time still need to be addressed. On top of that, New Worlds players have already taken to the games official forums and other social media outlets to share some previously unknown bugs.

More important than the numerous little bugs and glitches that people have discovered so far, though, are a few of the more noticeable issues that range from darkly hilarious to game-breaking.

At the moment, the most notable bug in the game has to be the one that forces you to wait 7 days to respawn your character. At the time of this writing, its not entirely clear what causes this bug, but what is clear is that the only reliable way to fix it is to log out of the game. The problem there is that some New World servers are so full that it could take hours to log back into the game after you exit.

The 7 days respawn bug isnt the only bug thats exposing how bad New Worlds server issues really are. For instance, some PvP players have discovered that its actually possible to trigger a soft invincibility glitch that makes you immune to most forms of direct damage. Again, its not clear at this time how you can consistently trigger this glitch, but what is clear is that the invincible player needs to log out to remove the effect. More often, though, those who have to battle invincible players are logging out instead, which is, again, kind of a problem given the long queue times.

As PC Gamer and others have noticed, New Worlds swimming feature also doesnt appear to be working as intended. Right now, its possible to crouch into deep bodies of water and go for a walk. That would seem to suggest that youre not actually supposed to be able to swim, but the fact that theres a breath meter on-screen during those sequences implies that youre either supposed to be able to swim or that the developers were aware that this glitch was possible and decided to counter it by allowing you to drown.

Actually, its possible to trigger a number of notable New World glitches simply by crawling, jumping, and performing movement functions that arent running or walking in a straight line. Players have managed to squeeze into a variety of clearly unintended areas and even become stuck in the world simply by taking advantage of advanced movement features like hopping over a rock.
