Recently, a New World player and Reddit user named TheRealOsamaru posted about an issue they encountered when playing the MMO. They explained that they experienced a bug while they were fishing, and that their fishing pole’s bobber does not disappear or de-spawn. The original poster stated that when there are too many bobbers in the water, there is a chance that the game will crash. This is highly unfortunate, especially for players who are looking to complete some of the fishing quests found in New World.

Most of the commenters on the Reddit thread agreed with TheRealOsamaru’s experience. Though some of their buggy experiences varied, most of them noticed that their game would noticeably crash only when they were fishing. With this activity seemingly mundane, and not even heavy on New World action-packed gameplay, it is understandable that players may end up frustrated with the MMO. However, given that New World is still in its beta period, bugs and issues like these are sure to abound.

Other replies on the thread just gave fellow fans advice to report the bug once they experience it. This way, not only does the New World community provide constructive feedback, but they also help draw attention to various fixes needed within the game. Hopefully the developers take notice of these issues and ensure a top-notch New World gaming experience once the MMO launches later this year.

New World will launch on August 31, 2021 for PC.
