Hi,
You can try the following fix,
Go to the main Steam install directory “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam”
Find the 0 kb file named “.crash”, delete it and try again.

Thanks, did it by deleting .crash which has 0KB, but nothing happened, same issue.

Hi,
It might also have to do with the directory you have installed the game. Make sure to try closing steam and starting it with left click and choosing to “run as administrator”.
No .crash
Already running as Admin
No Workie
i am also having the same problem have plenty of free space tried all the fixes, validating wont progress at all

Manage to make it working by make a backup of the said acf file on the error message, emptying the original, running New World >> Error Message >> Remove the empty acf, rename back the backup file to original file >> running New World again, it is updating.
And New World is launching, not too sure on what happened on that acf file while it entries seems ok:

Installing to my other drive seems to have worked which is annoying but it works. All other games still download like normal only new world had the issue lol. If I wasn’t so hooked on this game i would have just said screw it XD.

KK, that maybe the main action needs to be made xD
I tried the solution Aijalon posted but it did not work for me. However, there was a file called ‘appmanifest_1063730.acf.tmp’ which I deleted and it started working.

Good to know, so it must be something to do that particular 1063730.acf file, which after is being deleted, update should start working again as Typicalsarena mentioned as well earlier on.

Yup! I got the Steam\steamapps\appmanifest_1063730.acf error message.
Tried all the tips previously suggested, and now I can’t even reinstall the game.
