  • ShawnBradleyK Shawn Bradley (@ShawnBradleyK) reported

    @VnMidnight @playnewworld @Steam Didn't work for me. I did get a new error tho. Ugh so bummed

  • mangothe1st Alex Guzman (@mangothe1st) reported

    @playnewworld @playnewworld this is just one of two issues, I can't even get the game to open, something is going on between the handshake of steam and something else. It is a file that was updated I believe, according to everyone else.

  • Rosesmit4 Ros esmit (@Rosesmit4) reported

    @playnewworld @playnewworld i try that earlier and it didn't fix the issue but I retried it again just now after the tweet and that fix my issue

  • Colt45Dropshot Dropshot (@Colt45Dropshot) reported

    @Steam Please God fix your platform, I’m losing money on @playnewworld because I can’t log in. Please hurry and fix this!

  • Meswannjr Michael Swann (@Meswannjr) reported

    @That1DanGuy @playnewworld Looks like they finally rolled out a fix on Steam as well.

  • lowiqapple No (@lowiqapple) reported

    @playnewworld I deleted the file and the file it said was causing the issue and I got in.

  • TheHanxiouss Hanxiouss (@TheHanxiouss) reported

    @playnewworld why is this an issue that we have to work around... ?

  • DailyWoover Woover (@DailyWoover) reported

    @playnewworld Not sure if it’s been reported already as a separate issue but, since the patch the other day my Throw ability for the Hatchet no longer does any damage despite getting the little blood-splatter animation on the target. Thank you for what you do Social Media person 💙

  • It_SaekoVT Saeko (@It_SaekoVT) reported

    @playnewworld Id really like to see you guys fix this. Your game looks interesting but not enough to warrant risking a $1k+ GPU with how short GPU stocks are currently. Im guessing its also a manufacturer Issue too, but Id still like to see bug fixes etc deployed.

  • anthonyakaducky Ducky (@anthonyakaducky) reported

    @barrington_tm @playnewworld To fix, go to steam library > New World > Click Properties > Local Files > Browse > AntiEasyCheat > Delete Certificates Folder > Launch EasyAntiCheat Setup > Click Repair New world > Click Finish > Launch New world. Should work.

  • ChrisYankeeInTX 🐮ChrisYankeeInTX🐮 (@ChrisYankeeInTX) reported

    @playnewworld Fixed problem for me. I did both steps though. Verified game files and then installed EAC. When running the executable, the only option available was Install...then I ran the executable again and it gave me the option to Repair, so I had it repair as well just in case.

  • The_NamesMatt Matt (@The_NamesMatt) reported

    @playnewworld If this were apex it would’ve taken a week for them to fix it. Good stuff @playnewworld

  • themainvoli TheMainVoli (@themainvoli) reported

    @Jake_Verissimo @playnewworld did you fix yours?

  • ScopeCulture Scope_of_Culture (@ScopeCulture) reported

    @The_Blaziken @playnewworld This did not fix the issue for me

  • That1DanGuy ThatOneDanGuy (@That1DanGuy) reported

    @Meswannjr @playnewworld There's a fix for it. Look on Reddit, someone posted a copy of a pre update DLL file that fixes it

  • The_Blaziken The Blaziken (@The_Blaziken) reported

    @playnewworld Right click game on steam, properties, local files, verify integrity of game files, fixed the issue for me.

  • TYtheAlkemist TY (@TYtheAlkemist) reported

    @playnewworld I'm getting an error that says "Requested Operation Requires Elevation"

  • Zasstryn Chosen of Lolth (@Zasstryn) reported

    Saw @playnewworld is having issues on @Steam so I might not bother even trying to patch then play tonight. I haven't logged in for a few days.

  • Wordanjebber Jordan 👹 (@Wordanjebber) reported

    @zenswxrld @playnewworld Those people don’t have real life problems to compare to so the game having issues is like rock bottom to them lmao

  • whyAshes Ashes (@whyAshes) reported

    @playnewworld THIS is an outdated way to fix the issue. The way they posted work 100% and you should follow the forms!!!!

  • hidoniswg hiyyubuoo (@hidoniswg) reported

    @playnewworld Y'all saved my bacon, wife was pissed she could get on and I couldn't. Thanks for the info to fix the problem.

  • TruElitePk TruElitePkLIVE (@TruElitePk) reported

    @playnewworld @Wordanjebber Why not fix the Tier 4/5 Azoth staff not working ? Game breaking bug...... Cannot do any Corruptions passed 45 And we have the Azoth staff tier 5

  • Jake_Verissimo jacob verissimo (@Jake_Verissimo) reported

    @playnewworld Nope. I've seen threads saying re-installing the entire game doesn't fix it. Not everyone has infinite high-speed data for that also.

  • ShawnBradleyK Shawn Bradley (@ShawnBradleyK) reported

    How the hell does @steam not have a fix for the easy anti cheat issue yet? It's been hours. This is a priority 1 ticket. Whoever is on call for emergencies is sleeping on the job. Jesus christ. Probably 100,000s of players not able to play their games @playnewworld

  • BaisdenCurtis Curtis Baisden (@BaisdenCurtis) reported

    @playnewworld Have always hated Steam. NW needs its own launch pad. Let’s go! Plus fix the bag space. Walking around all gimpy and **** is no fun.

  • Shadowconxd Shadowconxd (@Shadowconxd) reported

    @playnewworld Karpfen07 5m This worked for me just now. I simply went to my Steam folder → steamapps\common\New World\EasyAntiCheat Ran the “EasyAntiCheat_Setup” (after the initial repair I did click on the “repair service” in the bottom left corner of the EasyAntiCheat
