New World Investigating Crashing Issues

Key Takeaways

  • Players experience crashes on loading screens, dungeon entries, and story sequences in New World.
  • Some bugs impact rewards and progress in the Nightveil Hallow event.

As a seasoned adventurer of Aeternum, I can’t help but feel a tad disheartened by the recent turn of events in New World: Aeternum. The excitement that the Nightveil Hallow event brought was swiftly dampened when my game decided to crash during a crucial story sequence. It seems I’m not alone in this predicament, as fellow players are also experiencing similar issues on loading screens and dungeon entrances.


The creators of the game, “New World: Aeternum,” have shared that they are looking into problems related to crashes linked with the launch of the latest content update, which includes a special Halloween event called Nightveil Hallow.

Introduced in September 2021 exclusively for PC gaming, Amazon Games’ “New World” is a MMORPG set in the fantastical and mythical island of Aeternum. The journey begins when players find themselves stranded on this island, forced to battle, gather resources, and craft weapons to endure and discover. Armed with lethal weapons and supernatural abilities, players can enhance these tools and engage in team combat for PvP battles. Although the game’s captivating concept and enjoyable combat mechanics have been well-received, “New World” has garnered mixed opinions on Steam due to issues such as performance within the game and a lack of engaging content in the endgame. Three years following its PC debut, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of “New World” were launched on October 15, 2024.

After the launch of version 1.1.0 on October 21st, the creators of New World announced on Twitter that they are actively investigating increased reports of game crashes from users. Although this update brought in the Nightveil Hallow event and resolved rendering issues and crashes for specific scenarios by fixing bugs, it’s evident that there are still outstanding problems to tackle. Users have reported crashing on loading screens after updating to version 1.1.0, while others have experienced crashes when attempting to enter a dungeon or progress storylines. These issues seem to impact both the console and PC versions of New World.

New World: Aeternum Development Team is Investigating Crashing Issues from Update 1.1.0

  • Players are reporting crashing issues on loading screens, dungeon entrances, and story sequences.
  • Some bugs are also affecting rewards and progression in the Nightfall Hallow event.
  • A release date for a new update was not announced.

The reaction from the community seems split at this point, as numerous gamers have comments regarding technical problems in New World beyond just crashes. Issues like glitchy animations and missing loot drops, which were present during New World’s open beta, have caused some players to express disappointment with New World and the October 21 update. It appears that Nightveil Hallow is experiencing issues as well, with a few users on Twitter mentioning they can’t initiate event quests or collect rewards for completing tasks.

Players of New World have until November 5th to finish off activities related to the Nightveil Hallow event and claim their Halloween-themed rewards. During this period, players can confront Baalphazu, a level 66 world boss, daily to collect armor pieces, costumes, Ichor, and other goodies. Additionally, Nightveil Tokens earned during the Nightveil Hallow event can be used in a temporary store to get skins, emotes, furniture items, and numerous other items. The exact release date for the next update remains undetermined.
