New World Dev Tracker

Greetings Adventurers,

We are working on releasing new worlds for Australia so we are taking some downtime to prepare for this.

The downtime is slated to start at 6:30pm PT/11:30am AEST.

The expected downtime is: approximately 30 minutes.

Once downtime has been completed, we will update this post.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

We have opened up more worlds in US-West

We have opened additional worlds in US-East:

Pressing 'E' does not interact with the environment

Our QA team is currently hunting down the full source of this incredibly frustrating bug, but they did come up with a a workaround that has shown some promise:

To address your ‘E’ key not working correctly

1. Close the game.
2. Delete the “savedata” folder in %appdata%/AGS/New World/ (copy that string in File Explorer) - Or C:\Users[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\AGS\New World (replace with your [UserName] in the path)
3. Log back in and play with default key binding.
4. See if it fixes the issue.

Honestly, if you want to play faster, I’d rec going to another server with a smaller queue. I don’t have any information about player capacity changes.

This is on the known issues list already.

I’ve seen a lot of people confused about how queues worked so I figured I can help clarify.

The way that queues work is that if no one leaves and the server is at max capacity, you won’t be able to enter the game. When someone leaves that server, the next person in line will be moved into the server and the queue time will go down. So it’s highly possible that no one in your server is leaving so the queue isn’t moving.

Thanks for testing and getting back to me. Would be great if I could get more players to confirm that is working. That will help us narrow down the issue and unblock you. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding.

When someone leaves the server, the next person in line will be moved into the server. If no one leaves the server and it’s at max capacity, the line won’t move.

Yes, we do have an AFK timer that kicks players out if they are inactive after a certain amount of time.

As you can see in the Launch Day Update post we are working to address these issues. In the meantime, this thread is serves no constructive purpose and has been locked.

Danke für die Rückmeldung. Ich kann bestätigen, dass die Probleme behoben wurden, trotzdem haben wir weiter ein Auge drauf.

Danke für die Meldungen!

Wir untersuchen die Probleme gerade und bitten, die die Unannehmlichkeiten zu entschuldigen. Sobald es Neuigkeiten gibt, melden wir uns wieder.

We are actively looking at that issue and understand the frustration this bug is causing. It’s possibly related to settings files that are not being deleted when you reinstall the game. I would appreciate if someone experiencing the issue could try to delete their player settings.

1. Close the game.
2. Delete the “savedata” folder in %appdata%/AGS/New World/ (copy that string in File Explorer) - Or C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\AGS\New World (replace UserName in the path)
3. Log back in and play with default key binding.
4. See if it fixes the issue.

Alle Regionen sind jetzt live! Es waren unglaubliche 24 Stunden und die Unterstützung, die wir bis jetzt gesehen haben, ist fantastisch. Wir verstehen, dass einige Spieler:innen sehr lange Wartezeiten haben und arbeiten hart daran, diese Probleme zu verbessern. Deswegen eröffnen wir weiterhin neue Welten und werden auch die Kapazität unserer bestehenden Welten erweitern, sobald wir diese Änderungen ausreichend getestet haben. Unser jetziger Fokus liegt darauf, dass sich alle einloggen und spielen können - gleichzeitig wollen wir aber auch sicherstellen, dass alle langfristig ein Zuhause in Aeternum finden. Deswegen werden wir allen Spieler:innen in den nächsten zwei Wochen einen kostenlosen Charaktertransfer zur Verfügung stellen.

Wir danken euch für eure Geduld und Unterstützung, während die New World-Community wächst und ermutigen euch, eure langfristigen Serverpläne mitsamt eurer Community zu festigen. Wir können es kaum erwarten, euch in Aeternum willkommen zu he...

More information will be coming in the following days. Stay tuned!
