New World, the MMO role-playing game by Amazon Game Studios, received a small patch recently. Update 1.6.6 is solely focused on bug fixes and improvements, specifically addressing rare server crash issues and problems in combat, world experience, and expeditions. No new content or features are added, however.
The bug where fast travel will sometimes fail is addressed, and interacting with bed housing items will now play correct animations. Colors on stained glass housing items are now displayed accurately.
Check out the complete changelog below.
- Speculative fix for rare cases when a player character dies but isn’t presented with a respawn screen.
