New World Update 1.6.5 Reactivates Instanced Wars, Patch Notes Here

New World's recent update went live yesterday. Update 1.6.5 is mostly focused on bug fixes and improvements. It also reactivates Instanced Wars and makes technical improvements to the Group Finder feature.

Players can no longer reach unintended areas in the Alluvium Marl boss fight arena as the developer has adjusted the collision. An issue in the invite phase will force the game to reschedule Wars.

You can read the patch notes below:

• Fixed an issue that caused some sound effects to not trigger for various character actions.

• Fixed an issue that caused the Medleyfaire performance music "Windsward Inn" and "Path Less Traveled" to not play.

• Adjusted collision to prevent players from entering unintended areas in the Alluvium Marl boss fight arena.

• Wars will automatically be rescheduled if there's an issue with the invite phase and the invites do not get sent out.
• Fixed an issue that caused Outpost Rush items to not auto-equip to empty slots on the player's hotbar.
• Fixed a bug that prevented players from queuing for Arenas because the queue screen said "Waiting for Players."
• Fixed a bug that caused players to lose any progress made during their current session after logging off.
• Made general technical improvements to the Group Finder feature to improve reliability.
• Fixed a bug that allowed players to endlessly spam abilities.
• Instanced Wars have been reactivated.

• Fixed an issue that caused the "Avail" column of the Trading Post to incorrectly display amount owned instead of showing the amount available to buy.

• The "View Expedition" button in the Expedition map flyout now reads "Find Group" in order to improve the Group Finder’s ease of use.

• Musical Performance UI no longer remains after players go into an Expedition.

• Group Finder error messages are now fully localized.
• Perks with outdated descriptions now have the correct localization for Polish and Italian.

The complete patch notes are available on Steam.
