Players of the popular game New World have been experiencing a frustrating bug that is affecting various aspects of gameplay. This bug causes enemies to suddenly appear out of nowhere, giving players a jumpscare and making it difficult to anticipate and prepare for attacks.
The bug was first brought to attention by a player on the New World subreddit who noticed that certain animals required for a quest would only spawn when the player approached their spawn radius. Other players confirmed this issue, noting that it also affects dungeons and poses a significant threat to those attempting challenging PvE content.
The developers at Amazon Games are aware of the bug and are actively working on a fix. A New World developer mentioned on the game’s official Discord server that they are investigating the issue and it is not intended for enemies to only spawn when players are in close proximity.
The bug is caused by a problem with the game’s draw distance mechanic, which determines what players can see and interact with in the game world. This limitation on interactions within a small radius takes away from the immersive experience of exploring New World’s vast open world.
The bug is particularly problematic because it gives players a false sense of security. They may believe they are in an empty area or have cleared out a cave, only to be surprised by the sudden appearance of enemies. This disrupts gameplay and can lead to unexpected deaths or failed missions.
While it is not uncommon for enemies to spawn in front of players in New World, it is not intended for them to only appear once the player is within range. Players should be able to see and anticipate enemies from a distance, enhancing the strategic aspect of the game.
There is currently no specific timeline for when the bug will be fixed, but it is likely that Amazon Games will release a patch in the near future. In a recent update, the developers addressed several issues and performed maintenance on the game, indicating their commitment to resolving bugs and improving the player experience.
