Has anyone else updated their Win11 earlier today and have since noticed New World is randomly crashing with no error?
I never had a crash on New World prior to this new update. So far I can’t find any source of the crash and I honestly can’t be bothered to reverse the Windows update.
(Before anyone asked, I have all other drivers/software/firmware etc all update to date).
Not sure if its windows update. I’m experiencing for very first time crashes.
All of them were happening in OPR or War, never in open world, arena or expeditions. My crashes are like game force closing, without any error at all.
From all crashes I’ve got a single time this error:
As can be seen I wasnt in a crowded place or anything. Crashes are just random, I can play hours without any crash or I can get 3 crashes within a hour.
I’ve sent ticket to support and they asked for some stuffs to investigate, I’m looking forward for their solution.
I’ve noticed that when New World crashes, Google Chrome also can’t load anything. So that has to be fully closed and reopened to allow any websites to work normally.
I’m going to try again, but without having chrome open on my other monitors, and see what happens.
In this case, I might actually suggest you do the AGS Customer Service method. They’re going to ask you for logs and DxDiag’s… but in their review, it might reveal what’s going on.
DirectX is all updated to the latest version, which is installed through the Windows Updater.
I lowered the resolution just incase that could have been the problem, but this unfortunately only resulted in the same random crash happening.
I’m uninstalling & reinstalling as we speak, so I will find out in 10 minutes, once it’s finished downloading.
I can read my dxdiag & msinfo files far better than AGS’s support (used to do a lot of tech support back in the day). So I know what to look out for, disabling some software etc etc.
But yeah I have a feeling something, somewhere from that Windows 11 update I installed, there is a conflict happening, but for the life of me I can’t find it.
I will review the crash logs to see if there is anything I can see.
These are the other lines from the previous crashes.

So I need to find information about this shader and see if it’s indeed related.
I did a 2nd reinstall, deleted the Local & Roaming files from Appdata. I did have the game previous in windowed mode, and having it revert to fullscreen may have fixed it.
But we’ll see how long, got a lag detection disconnect and my server is at a 70 queue, so I think it’s time for a nap
