With so many successful MMOs out in the market today such as Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 14 and Blizzard’s World of Warcraft, there is no wonder that other companies want to capitalize on these specific player markets. This is exactly what Amazon seems to be doing with its upcoming MMO, New World. However, with the game’s beta period already accessible to some fans, new glitches are discovered by players every day. Recently, another issue has been found, this time the bug is causing players’ games to crash while they are fishing.

New World has already experienced a series of delays in its development. Announced by Amazon back in 2020, New World's original release date was slated for May 2021. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the industry adapting to the current work-from-home environment, the development team seemed to have no choice but to push the game’s release to a later date in 2021. Even so, it seems fans are still highly interested in the new MMO, likely looking for something different to cleanse their palate of the currently available online titles in the gaming universe.

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.
