After a lot of delays and several Alphas and Betas, New World has finally released amassing a large player base. The last time we checked, the concurrent player count was above 750K. The players on the game are unlike we have seen in any other games, not even Valheim. A large number of players is good for business, but not for the game itself as it can cause all sorts of server problems, especially disconnects and problem joining. A lot of players on day one are reporting seeing the New World Connection Failed error. The error comes with a vague message, “@mm_loginservices_TooManyRequestsException” connection error.”
Besides the connection error, the game has very long queues to join, some as long as 50,000. To be fair, issues such as these were expected from such a big launch, but can you fix the connection error in New World. Keep reading to find out.
What is New World Connection Failed Error and is there a Fix?
What we can take from the error message is that it’s caused by too many requests, which has led to an exception on the server end. It’s the byproduct of too many players trying to join a server. To fix the New World Connection Failed error, you need to be persistent and patient. As this is a problem caused due to the server capacity, there is nothing you can do about it other than refreshing the queue and hoping others lose their patience before you.
If you are used to multiplayer games, you will know that most triple-A titles have issues such as these on launch. It’s something the developers themselves cannot help at the moment. In a few days, the queues should reduce and the servers should return to normal.
The error occurs for people who are waiting in a queue and is quite random. Yesterday, there was a sudden spike in the error with thousands of people getting it at once. It was the peak hour when the game was most populated.
So, there is no traditional fix for the error and you should not bother troubleshooting your connection as the issue is not in your control. We suggest that you abandon the game for a few days and return as the hype about the game dies and casual gamers leave the game. That’s the time when the servers will stabilize and you can enjoy without any issues.
