  • kylesonnabend kyle (@kylesonnabend) reported

    @playnewworld You guys have a huge issue right now tons of people can't connect. There is an error that says you need steam running when it already is. Then people use remedies to that issue and they can't connect to the server. PLEASE FIX!

    @playnewworld just letting you know EAC is flagging steam dlls as untrusted. Can’t login to the game because it requires steam, can’t run steam because EAC :(

  • dice90 Alan Dice (@dice90) reported

    @mrgarrison1993 @playnewworld Nope. I've tried everything possible to fix it too. Even tried using cmd to scan and repair files... nothing. Looks like it's on EAC's side.

  • randomlyjme Jamie (@randomlyjme) reported

    @playnewworld @Steam After the latest Steam update tons of people are no longer able to get in to New World. Please fix. 🥺

  • jesseobrien_ Jesse O'Brien (@jesseobrien_) reported

    @playnewworld I sit through a queue of 400+ to get into my server (which was lowest pop on launch day) only to crash out 15 minutes later and get put to the back of the queue. I really don't understand.

  • KTek916 KTek916 (@KTek916) reported

    @playnewworld Can’t log in to play via steam because I’m getting a untrusted anti cheat error message. What’s going on? Others on reddit reporting same issue.

  • PowerMan1469 PowerMan1469 (@PowerMan1469) reported

  • 97zmartin Zach Martin (@97zmartin) reported

    @playnewworld Is anyone else getting the easy anti cheat error when they try and launch the game? I played fine yesterday and now its doing it all of a sudden.

  • Diegoams2x Diego (@Diegoams2x) reported

    @playnewworld hello I just got home and I find this error Unable to launch game crash to "unrecoverable error" and Easy Anti-Cheat, I go to the forum and I find that there are some people with the same problems and we cannot play, please release a patch or read the forum, thanks.

  • Operator_Yankee Operator Yankee (@Operator_Yankee) reported

    @playnewworld fix your anti cheat, no one can log in right now... we're getting Steamclinent64.dll being flagged by the anti cheat

  • Bonnie30101 Bonnie30101 (@Bonnie30101) reported

    Anyone else not able to get onto @playnewworld? Anyone find a fix?

  • AllanMougenot Allan Mougenot (@AllanMougenot) reported

    @playnewworld Hi! I keep receiving an error when i try to log-in the game, already tried to reboot, reinstall the game and steam but without success. This started today after a steam update. Just with New World other games are fine. 😓

  • Nick___Stephan Nick Stephan (@Nick___Stephan) reported

    @playnewworld I think a massive bug hit the game. I'm seeing tons of people unable to launch do to the following error. "Unrecoverable Error, you must be logged in to steam to play." This is followed by easy-anticheat saying a Steam .dll is untrusted.

  • ShestD2 Shest (@ShestD2) reported

    @dice90 @mrgarrison1993 @playnewworld This gets around the error but still can not connect and gives you a bunch of errors.

  • ThisIsGiaant Giaant (@ThisIsGiaant) reported
