    @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.

  • 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.

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

  • mrgarrison1993 Taylor garrison (@mrgarrison1993) reported

    @playnewworld So, am I not the only one who cannot launch game client due to anti cheat error. Please explain

  • WanderinMisfit Robert (@WanderinMisfit) reported

    @iamKN568 @playnewworld @Steam_Support Looks like Easy Anti Cheat is down.. So they can't validate DLLs :( It's not a steam issue.

  • anamarylee Ana (@anamarylee) reported

    @playnewworld Can you fix the broken game? Or give an ETA when it will be playable again? Can't get in since Steam updated

  • SnipOCEI Snip (@SnipOCEI) reported

  • art_avanis Avanis.Art (@art_avanis) reported

    @playnewworld hey there! Playing with my friend to the awesome #NewWorldMMO and he did an armor for me but... everything is linked to the person who do it and he can't even sold it, so yeah. Are you guys going to fix it or do something about it? Help? :/

  • TheVelvetRed_ The Velvet Red (@TheVelvetRed_) reported

    @playnewworld apparently people are exploiting a lag issue in your game in order to win wars... it's ruining the game for everyone else. Please fix this or you'll kill your own game.

  • mrgarrison1993 Taylor garrison (@mrgarrison1993) reported

    @playnewworld GETTING ANTI CHEAT ERROR THROUGH STEAM GAME CLIENT????????????????? explain this

  • 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. 😓

  • TheBabyGamer00 thebabygamer_ (@TheBabyGamer00) reported

    @playnewworld just bought your game and it won't open through steam. downloaded it and it keeps telling me it doesn't trust files on my computer and that i'm not logged into steam (which i am) i've restarted everything and logged out and in again, still not working, please help!

  • vocalnoid vocalnoid (@vocalnoid) reported

    @TheBabyGamer00 @playnewworld it's something with anticheat, i was playing all day, once i updated client now I can't. multiple reports of same error.

  • BulbasaurMcGav1 Bulbasaur McGavin (@BulbasaurMcGav1) reported

    @playnewworld This patch broke my game and all of the "fixes" do NOT work. I continue to get the "Unrecoverable error" and "easy anticheat" error. If a fix isn't issued soon Im going to have no choice other than to refund this game. It's been almost a week. FIX THIS.

  • fallanassi Fallanassi (@fallanassi) reported

    @playnewworld Tons of people (including me) on your forums as well as Reddit and the Steam forums are all complaining about being able to get into the game this evening, due to an error about Steam "not running" and EAC having a broken .dll booting everyone out. Please fix this!

  • AshtonWoiwood Ashton Woiwood (@AshtonWoiwood) reported

    @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 :(

  • 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.

  • thisisappan appan (@thisisappan) reported

    @playnewworld @Steam You guys need to fix the Easy Anti Cheat problem. Many players can't log in now because of it.

  • freakyboyBN qieqie133 (@freakyboyBN) reported

    @Jasterqt @playnewworld You are not the only one, a lot of us having the same issue.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Mamagrainn Ed (@Mamagrainn) reported

    @playnewworld @SerMedieval He we have a new issue new world we have must be signed into steam to play and untrusted files 86

  • hesmattt ye (@hesmattt) reported

    @Jazzy_Jedi @LadyAtheena_ @playnewworld I also have this error

  • Bonnie30101 Bonnie30101 (@Bonnie30101) reported

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

  • 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. 🥺

  • holtmuer Snakevalor (@holtmuer) reported

    @playnewworld hope you are all able to figure out the "steam must be running to launch this game" error people are getting (no I am not in the steam beta and by the sounds of it that doesn't fix stuff either)
