- What is your character name in New World: WillPLZ
- What server/world did you experience your issue on: Oceana
- Describe the issue you are experiencing: Area Chat repeating itself. I notice it around busy settlements most, where peoples’ messages (including my own) will keep repeating every time I get close to the area, been happening since Day One. But today, when my messages kept repeating and repeating, and I wasn’t even moving at all, I logged out and logged back in… and they are STILL repeating. This is new to me.
- Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
- (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: It can be fairly obnoxious (and seems to cause a chunk of lag when all the messages load, sometimes a TON at once if near a busy settlement) but not gamebreaking
- (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: Hopefully my area chat messages will stop repeating by the next time I load up the game, but the previous attempts at logging out and logging back in just repeated all my messages from the past whoknowshowlong in area chat in Mountainhome Outpost.
- (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:
- What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Type in area chat, I guess? I didn’t even move 1 inch away from the Gypsum Kiln in Mountainhome Outpost when a bunch of messages (from earlier in Mines) repeated twice. I don’t know, it’s like the Area Chat repeating has evolved.
