Hello @Dadrin, welcome to the New World forums!

Thank you very much for using this format to contact us regarding this situation with your account, I’m very sorry about this. I see you have done some troubleshooting already so I wanted to know if you by chance remember any software that you might have installed shortly before this started happening?

Also please check these things for me:

  • Check if your Windows and drivers are updated.
  • Make sure EAC is running in the background when you run the game (troubleshooting steps here: Troubleshooting EAC Issues - Support | Amazon Games).
  • Try deleting the appdata folders for the game it can be found in the following locations:
    C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\AGS
    C:\Users\AppData\Local\AGS
    the shortcut to your folder is %appdata%

If after all of this you are still having the same issue then requesting an escalation with our developers is the best option.

Would you mind contacting us whenever you are available please? We need some personal information and logs from you which is why we cannot handle it on a public forum.

You can reach us using the following link:

Have the dxdiag and logs ready in case they ask for it:

Instructions for generating a DXdiag: Open and run DxDiag.exe

Instructions for finding the in-game logs:

  1. Press Windows+R on the keyboard, type %appdata% and press enter.
  2. Open the most recent file from this folder: /AppData/local/AGS/LogBackups.

I’ll keep tabs on this post in case you need anything else!

I have been having this same issue. It started happening with the patch that was recently rolled out on 9/21. I had not had this issue prior to this. I had not made any other changes to my computer other than the game update.

go to C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\AGS and delete everything in that folder.

verify files

launch game.

Fixed mine.

Hello there @Ord3rUp, welcome to the New World forums,

I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue as well, since I see that you have tried the troubleshooting the next step would be to get it escalated with our support team, have you been able to contact them at all?

@lylliewolf I’m glad to hear those steps solved the issue for you and thank you for letting us know that it worked in this case! :smiley:

Thank you for your patience.

I received a generic email message that outlines the web page that I have already gone through more than once. Looks like i just received a standard canned response to connectivity issues. So, there has not been any other help. How do I escalate the ticket. Very hard to navigate the AGS support services… :frowning:

Hello @Ord3rUp,

To escalate the issue you need to reply to the same email that you received letting the agent know that you have already done that troubleshooting and the issue persist, so they can escalate that for you with a ticket!

Keep me updated!

the deleting of the appdata folders solved my problem on this. However I was also showing a hardware fault with the storage device where my game files are located, I have moved the games files to a different drive and it has improved the game performance vastly and solved this repeating error.

I completely removed and reinstalled the game, and it still persists. I will see what happens after the patch tonight. Hopefully the issue will go away.

The AppData folder doesnt get removed by uninstalling the game, try deleting it manually.
