Amazon's MMORPG, New World, has been facing a series of problems related to its latest content update. The game's official Twitter account, New World Game Status, has been actively updating players about the ongoing issues and the steps being taken to resolve them.
On July 14, the account tweeted about a hotfix that was implemented to restore Season XP loss for players. According to the tweet, players who previously experienced this issue should now begin to see their lost XP restored after a full client restart. However, the tweet also mentioned an ongoing investigation into a second issue where some players' Season Pass journey had been reset, particularly impacting repeatable content tallies.

The New World Game Status Twitter feed is filled with updates about various hotfixes and maintenance downtimes, indicating a series of issues that have been plaguing the game over the past few weeks. These issues range from server restarts to enable new maps, to temporary disabling of Seasons Activities due to identified issues.
However, the problems extend beyond the Season Pass data. Players have reported server crashes, lagging and stuttering problems, long loading screens, and more issues on the New World Discord's bug reports forum. The issues are hot on the heels of New Worlds most recent content update Blood of the Sands.
It's worth noting that New World has often seen issues post-patch, a trend that has been covered in previous articles and reports. The game's known issues page on the official Amazon Games website also provides a list of current known game issues that the team is working to resolve.
Despite these challenges, the New World team seems committed to resolving these issues and improving the gaming experience for its players. The frequent updates and transparency about the ongoing issues reflect that the team is working to fix issues as they arrive. New World recently saw a bit of a resurgence of players, marking a stable players base that Amazon hopes will continue to grow over time. However, the journey to a smooth gaming experience in New World seems to still be a bumpy one, and it remains to be seen how these issues will be addressed in the future.
