Greetings Adventurers,

We are aware that there are some issues with EAC and Steam preventing players from accessing New World.

If you encounter this issue, we recommend re-installing EAC or verifying the game file through Steam to resolve this issue and get back to playing.

4.Repair!

We’ll see you in Aeternum!

Steam may very well retract the update temporarily as to correct the error and reissue it at a later stage but until then the above workaround seems to correct the issue. Special thanks goes to streamer Danotage for the quick fix that's been approved by Amazon Games.
