New World Update 1.0.1 Patch Notes: AFK, Fixes, Server Transfer and More

The latest update 1.0.1 patch notes for New World which includes a number of fixes mainly focusing on character server transfer groundwork, War turret projectiles, AFK exploit prevention to stop players from exploiting methods to stay logged in the game causing further queues and an update for world queues having a confirmation screen for when players attempt to leave queues for a world so they don’t accidentally leave without meaning to.

The patch also comes with a number fixes with a few focusing on AI such as Pastor Walsh spawning aggressively, also adjusting spawn rates for Bullrush Wash which will now spawn faster, Overseer Zana to respawn slower, and Master Zindt to eliminate duplicated respawns. Other fixes include quests such as missing journal info and more.
