As a seasoned adventurer of Aeternum and a dedicated follower of New World: Aeternum, I can confidently say that the latest patch for the game has been a godsend! The constant crashes during loading screen transitions have been a thorn in my side since the Season of Opportunity’s launch. But now, thanks to Amazon Games, I can explore the vast world of Aeternum without fear of being abruptly kicked out of the game!


Amazon Games has recently released a minor update for the PC version of its widely-played MMORPG, “New World: Aeternum,” which tackles a significant problem that numerous players have been encountering lately. Various glitches emerged in “New World” following the game’s release on contemporary gaming consoles and a substantial update.

On October 22, the game “New World” was updated to version 1.1.0, which featured a significant content release, including a revival of the Halloween-themed Nightveil Hallow event and various bug corrections. However, players reported crashing issues after this update, leading Amazon Games, the developer and publisher, to launch an investigation. To address these problems, a patch 1.1.1 was released on October 24, resolving two issues causing crashes or freezes under specific circumstances. Since then, another hotfix for “New World” on PC has been deployed by Amazon Games, claiming to tackle a similar problem.

As per the latest tweet from New World’s official status provider, there’s a fix coming for the PC version of the game that addresses a frequent crash happening during transitions between loading screens, an issue many players encountered following the release of the 1.1.1 build. However, this update hasn’t been announced on New World’s English website or its Steam page yet. Also, there’s no word from the official status provider about a console release for the recent update.

The Season of Opportunity for the game New World commenced on October 15, simultaneously launching on the PlayStation 5 from Sony and Xbox Series X/S. This event also signified a name change to New World: Aeternum. Originally an MMORPG by Amazon Games, it had a free-to-play structure like many contemporary live service games, but was initially introduced on PC in September 2021. The latest season of New World includes a new PvP zone, The Cursed Mists, and The Hive of Gorgons, the game’s first raid for ten players, along with other additions.

Update 1.1.1 for New World resolved several issues, including glitches concerning characters Galahad and Jin Jae, as well as enemies Mahantaram and Prince Liang. Furthermore, it tackled a problem that impacted the service of the game’s Transmogrification system.

After the release of Season of Opportunity, New World: Aeternum drew over 61,000 players playing simultaneously on Steam. This popular MMO, widely regarded as one of the best when it comes to exploration, peaked with nearly 913,000 active players on Valve’s platform at its initial release in 2021. As of now, New World: Aeternum has a mixed overall rating on Steam based on over 242,000 reviews.
