With the New World Closed Beta now in full swing, the developers have deployed a brand new update on July 23 to fix a few bugs and improve the overall stability of the game.
Unfortunately, New World has been making headlines lately for allegedly bricking high-end GPUs such as the RTX 3090. The developers have since come out and refuted those claims, but not everyone is convinced.
Although the developers did state that they have seen no widespread issues with 3090s running New World, they did release a new patch that reportedly caps frames per second on the menu screen. In order to continue improving the stability of the New World Beta, a new patch update was deployed today (July 23) with even further improvements.
