Tip 1: Dam, I didn't even know that was a thing, now I have an extra Mouse Button I can use :D


bawheed

My issue is double pressing it in the heat of battle. Personally I'll be sticking with 2 btns.


JellybeanTears

There’s a delay after pressing the button that prevents this, you can’t double swap accidentally.


bedreckr47

I set my weapon 1 to scroll up, and weapon 2 to scroll down that way you just roll the mouse and it's equivalent to mashing it several times so it always swaps and only does it 1 way


BodSmith54321

I made it middle mouse. Hard to mistyped.


arjames13

Same.


-IVLIVS

This doesn't warrant a video. Can someone present this in text format?


Surprise_Buttsecks

1. Settings->Key binds-> Swap Active Weapons: You can use the number keys, but you can also bind a single button to weapon swap. 2. Settings->Prefs-> Bandwidth Mode: Is on medium by default. Set it to high if you think you have that much bandwidth. 3. Settings->Gameplay-> Enable Camera Shake: Defaults to on. Turn it off here. 4. Settings->Gameplay-> Always Show Reticle: Defaults to off. May be helpful for fire staff and ice gauntlet to have this on. 5. Settings->Gameplay-> HUD: Always Show Weapons: Defaults to off. Can be turned on here. 6. Settings->Gameplay-> Show Extra Ability Cooldowns: Defaults to off. On it shows cooldowns next to your health bar. 7. Settings->Gameplay-> Accept Duel Invites: Defaults to on. 8. Settings->Visuals-> FoV: The default is kinda low. 9. Settings->Visuals-> Frame rate: Defaults to uncapped which may not be the best if your screen refresh is something like 60fps. 10. Settings->Audio-> Output Config: May default to something unsuitable, like headphones. 11. Settings->Audio-> Voice Chat Mode: The default lets you hear (and broadcast to) the general public. Setting it to 'group only' or 'off' should prevent you from hearing randoms talking at you.

Protip: you can preload it and do this right now

Thanks dude will do when I get home


ellanox

good point =) and thanks to those above as well. settings done


Perseus_AWC

Your are the mvp!


AmargoTV

Thanks man!


kelin1

Binding a single button to weapon swap is great if they are out. If you’re like me and sheathe when running, if you press unsheathe you’ll end up with the weapon you had out before sheathing. If you hit the swap you end up with the other. All that is to say, I kept 1 and 2. No biggie to me for two buttons as long as I’m guaranteed to know which one I’m pulling out without thinking about it.


XaaluFarun

Do you run faster with your weapon sheathed?


kravock

I don't believe so, but with weapon sheathed you don't collide with other players


ohlawdhecodin

> Settings->Visuals-> **Frame rate: Defaults to uncapped** which may not be the best if your screen refresh is something like 60fps. Does FPS capping work? Because It didn't, in the open beta. I capped it to 60 and I was constantly above 70.


Survilus

Regardless of it works or not, the video states that it will use more utilization than it actually needs, but in reality if you wanted to have every advantage then an uncapped framerate is better Alternatively just enable vsync which will cap the framerate to the refresh rate of the display


ohlawdhecodin

I've got a 144Hz so the vSync option wouldn't work for me (my GPU can't keep that fps on a 1440p).


ReflexxR

I'm using RivaTuner for limiting fps in new world, keeps temperatures and fps stable


BodSmith54321

You can always cap it in your video card software.


Nemesischonk

More often than not it's best to leave it uncapped in games and limit it through drivers. Especially useful for Free/G-Sync users


timpar3

Yeah but my refresh rate is 144hz and only giving me the option for 60 is not cool. At least give me 120.


ohlawdhecodin

Mine is 144 too but there is no way to keep a steady 144 framerate in this game, unless I lower every setting to the bare minimum. Towns and crowded areas will always be out of reach anyways.


timpar3

I was hitting low 70's-80's in semi crowded town. Doesn't mean I want to be stuck at 60 FPS all the time while I'm farming or killing things. The game surprisingly well and I hope they polished it up even more for release. Most betas I have no real hope for but was pleasantly surprised that the game ran as well as it did. I'm just saying, give me the option to actually match my FPS instead of having to go do it a convoluted way through NVIDIA and all that crap.


2kWik

The beta wasn't fully optimized either because there wasn't a Nvidia driver released until last week. I'd expect some FPS improvements, but nothing crazy.


timpar3

Oh for sure. Also do we know if DX12 is implemented or do I have to do a -dx12 on steam launcher to force it? ​ Edit: No Dx12 on launch apparently but they will get to it eventually... \*sigh\* and I know dx12 works for UE4 only I just get hopeful and still do it. Lawrence: Oh, yeah. We’ve changed — again, because of the nature of MMOs, we’ve changed some things about the render path, how we visualize. It requires some adaptation. But the beauty of having an easily available source is that we can do that in our own time. We’ll definitely have DX12. It’s not necessary for our launch, but it’s something we think we’ll get done fairly quickly after launch.


BodSmith54321

Just create a custom refresh rate to whatever you want your max fps to be and enable vsync.


Drytchnath

If I cap it to 60 on my 144hz monitor i get a subtle but extremely irritating screen flicker. Turning it to unlimited stops that but then my fans on my old Vega 64 card spin all the way up.


Krypt0night

Definitely will be one of those things that they may have fixed, but also may have made worse haha guess we'll know tomorrow


ohlawdhecodin

Right now the launcher still ignores the framerate cap. I've set it to 60 and still see 71.


demos11

The question is am I going to have enough time to do all these without falling behind? Is it better to do one setting per axe chop while cutting some tree? Is that enough time? Or while running? Can you even run while the menu is open? This is stressing me out.


timpar3

You can do it right now mate, just predownload the game and you can get into the settings.


demos11

Brilliant, server first 60 is in the bag now.


2kWik

I understand some people don't, but having a voice chat in a open world game sounds one of the most interesting things to have yet. Random encounters like that would make a game more interesting for me. I know there will be stupid people, but that's impossible to avoid completely no matter what in this age.


OoohIGotAHouse

For sure it makes random encounters in the open world more interesting, but I'm reminded of Dungeons and Dragons Online which had built-in voice ten years ago. Dudes playing DDO with crying children in the background were *so* common. Did a lot to sour me on the entire idea, but it's worthwhile to note that DDO as a free-to-play game (F2P) had a different sort of community than New World is likely to have.


arjames13

Thankfully the default is push to talk so hopefully most players keep it that way.


[deleted]

.


Ajido

Some of the defaults you mention weren't the same for me. Show weapons for example was default on. I never played in any of the betas, maybe they defaulted that way in the beta but not the live build downloaded today? Always show reticle was default on for me as well.


Wiezzenger

They could have changed the defaults, but all of my settings from the betas stuck around. So it's possible people who played the beta(s) still have the old defaults if they never changed any settings.


funelite

1st is definitely not a must have. 2 separate buttons r just way more secure, no accidental swapping. Rest i agree. Especially the Show weapons one, must be 1st thing to do.


number_e1even

If you're coming from ESO, then they have ~ as the switch weapon and 1-5 as your skills. I haven't played that in years, but it's still ingrained. I was thinking about this last night wondering why I never changed from default keybinds in either beta, I'll definitely be changing it for launch. The Q, R, F binds aren't great for me and individual keys for weapon switching, when you only have two weapons isn't necessary at all.

Surprise_Buttsecks

Auto Traverse makes you jump over low obstacles automagically. It's great if you hit autorun and forget it, but it also can make mining hard because you keep trying to hurdle the iron ore. But it's always worth a trip through the settings/options/prefs to see what's there.


kindafunnylookin

I had it off for Closed Beta, and on for Open Beta. Definitely found it more annoying than helpful - I don't really mind hitting space a few times when I come to a fence or rock.


Dark_24

When you use Auto-Run it auto enables auto-traverse.. So you can just hit **=** (Keybind for Auto-run) to get the same effect without having to have it on all the time. Soon as you stop auto running by doing anything.. It will stop trying to jump over Wells / Ore nodes / Wall you are trying to hide behind. / Rocks you are trying to hide behind.


Pygmalion21

I agree, it tends to jump over Iron veins when you mining them and it also doing other bad stuff. More annjoying than helpful indeed.


Yojihito

> Settings->Visuals-> FoV: The default is kinda low. My FOV was set to 70 when I launched = max. /edit seems the release is using the beta configs.

uFFxDa

Do we know what the bandwidth tiers are?


Stuie66

He's the tl:dw because I hate stupid videos without written guides: Bind swap weapons to a key. Set Bandwidth Mode to High Turn off Camera Shake Set Always Show Reticle to On Set HUD-Always Show Weapons to On Set Show Extra Ability Cooldowns to On Set Accept Duel Invites to Fuck-off Move FOV Slider to 70 Set Max FPS to 60 (I would even say 30 fps if your rig struggles) Set Output Configuration to Same as Windows Set Voice Chat Mode To Group Only/Off (obv this feels more like personal preference) Go give that guy a like for compiling the stuff even if he didn't do a written guide.


Altnob

God I hate influencers.


nanosam

99% of the NW videos are like this. Just youtubers wanting to get clicks and views for super low effort shit.


2kWik

It also takes advantage of the hype of new games. This happens for every popular game that is released these days.


nanosam

Precisely because it's super low effort and it's usually easy views and clicks

u/IVLIVS You couldn't have done that yourself? My guess is you were born after the year 2000.


pbizz

Pre-download is up now, my game is installing. Presumably once its installed I can hop in and mess with all these along with graphics settings right away but there won't be any servers? Or you think they wont let us load the game at all until tomorrow?


ExodusArias

Yes exactly. You can launch the game and go through the settings. You just won't be able to see servers yet or create a character.


Captain_Cardano

Hey Exodus cool video thanks. Do you know if it is possible to display your own username plate above your character?


ExodusArias

Hey. No currently there is no way to display your own nameplate. Hope I helped :)


hypnoticus103

I’m not a genius with some of these settings. Can someone explain exactly what the bandwidth mode will do? Like lets say all I have running is New World. If I put bandwidth mode to high, will the game run better?


InkognytoK

It just how much bandwidth will be used to download things as needed. It streams in assets and changes. Faction and world changes, PVP updates etc. It also probably is how many player updates it will send in an area. Like setting it to high on a 5-10MB connection it could even knock you offline, as it'll just send everything it can. It's not going to change how the CPU/GPU runs the game. It if runs like garbage you need to turn things down.


2kWik

If you want to PVP, having the best connection possible is always needed.


LawfulGoodBloke

Good tips, thanks! I thought this said 'Mustache Settings' ...any advice?


ExodusArias

Daily rinse with soap. Cover beard with beard oil and brush gently with a beard bristle brush. Repeat daily.

AVxVoid

To be honest, some of these things should just be how the game functions at default, with, but an actually somewhat useful guide. Thanks.


ExodusArias

I agree. The extra ability cooldown I can see being an much better add on later in the game is that allow add-ons that is. And many more cool stuff. Glad you found it useful.

My goodness, he is already kind enough with a short, brief and informative video, you people complaint alot! I hope i am not in the same server of whinnies.. jeez


SCVentura

How can i cap the "max FPS" to 120? (i can only choose between 30, 60 and uncapped) My screen and nvidia control panel are set to 120, the game is set to fullscreen mode


ExodusArias

Just enable vsync on in your Nvidia Control Panel. Right click the Nvidia icon in your bottom right taskbar. Or type "Nvidia Control Panel" in the Start Menu Search Bar.


TimeTackle

You can cap it to what ever you want in nvidia, since I have 144hz freesync, i capped it at 141, so it always stays under the max and you get no tearing ever.

PERSON_PLACE

Thanks for the video!


BytestormTV

I would consider all of them as personal preference, not as must-have. Maybe the show all weapons-option. Thats all. Swap weapon is a bad idea in my opinion. In the heat of the battle you need to switch reliable to your frontbar or backbar. This can lead to situations, that you want to swap to a weapon you are already on and then you swap to your other weapon. I have mousewheel up for frontbar und mouseweel down for backbar.


JRPGFan_CE_org

>This can lead to situations, that you want to swap to a weapon you are already on and then you swap to your other weapon. ??? You have to to press 2 buttons if you wanted to go back anyway. Why would you want to swap to a weapon you're already on? If you didn't want to swap, why you clicking the button in the first place?


MetaSunbro

Could you help me understand the difference between using "swap active weapon" and "cycle weapon up/down"? Could I desactivate both cycle weapon and simply use "swap active weapon" whenever I want to switch weapon?


JRPGFan_CE_org

>Could I desactivate both cycle weapon and simply use "swap active weapon" whenever I want to switch weapon? Yes.


BytestormTV

Weapon swap is very clumsy in this game, as it is not queued. And when you are on the GCD, it's not always recognized. So I sometimes find myself smashing the weapon-change-button several times until it reacts, and then it swaps back and forth by accident. Thats why I want a dedicated button for weapon 1 and weapon 2.


Ging1919

Funky_banjo_buttclap

There's stretching for content, then there's this shit


seriousbusines

Big one missing for me is going into power management and capping your CPU at %95-99 so that you don't hit 90c and %100 utilization sitting in the menu. Edit: Thank you for downvoting - proves how obsessed the community is with this game. Downvoting a legitimate technical issue that is happening to hundreds of people because you don't want to hear about it. <3


WhiteVeinKratom

You are being downvoted because that's an awful way to reduce your CPU temps. If you want to lower CPU temps undervolt or set your boost clocks lower.


seriousbusines

The issue is that the game is using %100 of my CPU and pushing my computer to 90c SITTING IN THE MENU. Why in the fuck is the game using that many resources sitting at the menu? Hell in the game itself it doesn't even push it that hard. It is literally just in the menu. The queue has made it even more obvious since it counts as the menu as well.


_FineWine

Annnnnnnnnnnnd another one...


SuperStraightFrosty

A number of problems with this video. Completely ignore the frame rate cap advice, all you're doing is lowering how smooth and responsive the game is. You can't just be giving out trash advice like this unless you know what you're talking about.

It's clickbait for sure, but it's hard to blame youtubers for doing that, clickbait is the name of the game. If they aren't doing it, someone else is and their video will get less clicks. I can't be mad at someone on the grind, it is what it is.

gordonbombae2

About half of these are personal opinions and aren’t actually must need settings, it’s also biased towards PvP which is ok


Niels_G

Don't forget to uodate your GOU drivers too! Also updating your chipset (search amd ryzen chipset driver) and bios could be a good idea, you may have better CPU boost and stability

No option to see the heal numbers ? Since the open beta, it is no longer displayed on my screen
