Play Outpost Rush at your own Risk! Character Breaking Bug

  • What is your character name in New World: munkdunk
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Calnogor
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: Character stuck in place, will only run in place. Only way to move forward is to roll and weapon swap, or cast an ability and carry the movement on (any forward momentum can be carried forward) but this movement will only carry on in a straight line, strafing of any kind is not possible.
    A secondary symptom also occurs I will not discuss on a public forum.
  • Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug; Possible exploit
  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Game has become unplayable
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: /unstuck & relogging have provided no results. Reinstall may be necessary but I haven’t tested yet.
  • (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: Outpost rush match. Death at Baroness during ice storm, possibly also hit by a gravity well but I’m not sure. I was fighting a greataxe player at the same time and died to a musket user who shot me from a far distance.

If I could please get some feedback on this issue I will provide more detail via PM.

Thanks for reading,
munkdunk

I’ve just picked this bug up, cant run, have to jump to start running, have to jump to change directions, first 2 steps are normal speed then i slow down, it persisted through death and a relog, looks like this is my life now…

I have this aswell, didnt think much of it as i thought it was gonna go away whenever i relogged

Hey, guys. I had this same bug and I was able to fix it with the following steps:

  • Exit New World completely.
  • Exit out of Steam completely.
  • Re-open Steam.
  • Re-open New World and log in.

I tried re-logging and unstuck while in-game before fully exiting out but that didn’t seem to fix it. Template below:

  • What is your character name in New World: DeeMoney
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Pluto
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: Similar to what other players reported. After doing an Outpost Rush (specifically after fighting Baroness and dying), my movement was completely messed up. I ran in place when trying to move. Sometimes using abilities, dodging, etc. allowed me to move temporarily, but then I could only move in one direction and it’s like I was strafing.
  • Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug
  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Game breaking/unplayable
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: Tried unstuck then relog. Also tried completely exiting out of the game and closing out of Steam and re-opening Steam/New World. Completely exiting out of Steam and re-opening seems to have fixed it for now.
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: N/A
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Outpost Rush. Death at Baroness. I was using Hatchet/Sword and Shield.

Hope this helps!

Update on fix from me as well. Apparently full closing steam may fix it? I went a little further on my end. I uninstalled, deleted all new world local files, right click game in steam, browse local files, mine were: C:\steam\Steam\steamapps\common\

Reinstalled game and bug was resolved. I think I’ll stay away from Baronness for a bit…

I think the fix is logging out for 5+ minutes and having your toon completely despawn from the server.

Catch same bug today. Fixed with client restart

Same here - did not fix with client restart

Sad bug but also kind of hilarious.
Solution 1: Fully close New World (Exit to Desktop), Fully close Steam (right click icon in system tray and quit). Wait 5 minutes. Relaunch New World.

Solution 2: Fully close New World (Exit to Desktop). Uninstall New World, delete local files (right click in Steam library > manage > browse local files > delete all New World. Fully Close Steam. Reinstall New World. Relaunch New World.

Good Luck!
