I played during the beta and had no issues playing with ~120ms latency. On release day I was able to level to 12 with minimal lag. Day two when i finally got into Sartira I started experiencing massive lag spikes up to 3k ms every 5-15 seconds when near other players in open world. Combat became impossible and it has become worse over time to the point where the game is unplayable. I started WoW up running next to NW and had a consistent 100ms connection without issue. I am unsure what changed. The following are all the troubleshooting steps I have taken.
rebooted all equipment multiple times
reached out to ISP and they claim there is no issues or latency on their network
Using ethernet cable not Wifi
Updated Windows and Drivers including Nvidia
Disabled windows firewall and also tried explicit rules for NW ports
created port forwarding rules on router as per NW support article
lowered in game graphics settings
verified game files on steam
ensured no other processes are using up network on pc with resource monitor
shut off all other devices on my network (phones, xbox, ect)
The game continues to have massive lag spikes and I cannot play
We are sorry to know you are having issue with your New World game, please let’s try this:
From the Start menu, begin typing ‘cmd’.
In the results that populate, right-click the Command Prompt result and select Run as administrator.
Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter. Wait a few seconds and when the command prompt appears, proceed to the next step.
Type ipconfig /registerdns and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
Restart your computer
Having very similar problems with high latency, coming from the Midwest I can’t seem to get a stable connection to East or West (East being slightly better but not much). Have done all the things to troubleshoot. Stable connection with no issues with any other games. High end rig. Getting frustrating.
Hi guys, Was trying to find somewhere to write this one down… But i have been experiencing the same issue…
After 3-4 days since release.
What is happening is I’ll run round fine… and then i will 3k ms ping in a stutter step encounter making combat unplayable.
What i have noticed is the my GPU at round this time hits Power Limit. and the game lags up… ( why would GPU capping power cause game to lag ?)
I tried lowering detail settings didnt change a thing. As it appears to relate to the GPU I am going to try Downgrading my driver until it goes away… In beta i never had this type of issue, and playing on a low pop server, so its not player density causing it. But it feels like something changed in the last maintenance window that caused it to start for me. And not the Graphics driver but the relating thing i am seeing is voltage limit capping on my GPU as the lag starts. (Nvidia 2080.)
Just a quick follow up. on this…
I downgraded from 472.12 to 471.96, and game recommended high visual detail settings, and also the issue appeared to go away. No longer hitting voltage limit. or lag spikes…
I’d suggest downgrading GPU Drivers…
I did what xBaaDf00d suggested and rolled back nVidia drivers to 471.96 and completely resolved the issue for me. Constant, stable input latency on both East and West (better on East for me).
So clearly something wrong with the latest nVidia drivers.
WARNING
So just a quick one on this, GPU Was power limiting yes.
This is a warning sign… rolling back the driver, removes the limit.
What does this mean NVidia is throttling power distribution to the card in drivers causing this issue.
Reasoning see reference New world killing GPU’s.
As per Jays comments Limit the Framerate, to a level below your cards capability 60fps, or lower… or you essentially risk burning out your GPU, … From my understanding that means 3090 or 3080ti’s. But be warned rolling back the driver undoes Nvidias quick fix for fried GPU’s in new world.
Yes Im having the same issues. Game worked fine the first week, perfection. Now im having exactly the same problems as you, game unplayable. And ive also done every single attempt to fix it as you have. Wth is going on??
Yup!! My game was running fine until after the most recent maintenance, and now the game is unplayable. Its not the GPU because my game starts lagging and stuttering all while the FPS stays consistent around 60+.
I have an RTX 2060 graphics card. I think i figured out what the problem was. Anytime my server gets to a high pop level of players I start to experience the lag spikes and increased ping. My internet circuit is capped at 10Mbs and I believe when the more players are on a server the more bandwidth this game requires to maintain updates with the server. You can check your network adapter while playing and see the large amounts its trying to send.
Solution: play on a low pop server, high pop servers still lag for me.
