EasyAnticheat Steam Update can't launch NW

Found the below in a Steam discussion form, this totally works! No need to download some rando dll file

1.) Steam Library and right click new world. Navigate to local files and click on browse.
2.) Open easy anti cheat folder. Navigate to certificates. Delete both files in the certificate folder.
3.) Navigate to C:\Windows → Program Files (X86) → Easy Anti Cheat. Delete the second file in that folder.

4.) back to your library, right click new world and validate files.
Let it run and it will tell you that 2 files are missing and will have to be reacquired.

5.) Start game

This worked for me after all other attempts failed

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\New World\EasyAntiCheat

Launch EasyAntiCheat_Setup and Repair Service for New World.

need to relog in steam after this, worked for me

The issue seems to follow Steam, not New World itself. I have gone through every game I have and none of them will launch. Variations of solutions listed above do not solve the problem for me with regards to the posted anti-cheat errors, possible windows file corruption resolutions, game file corruption resolutions, etc.

I can confirm that running EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe under the game folder seems to work

As others have said: Go into New World install directory (or any game with EAC) and reinstalled EAC with setup given. Fixed it for some people.

Same problem here. Done all of the recommended fixes and reinstalled/repaired/verified multiple times and still the same error as above.

They’ve provided a fix here: https://forums.newworld.com/t/notice-unable-to-launch-new-world-due-to-eac-connection-error/350791?u=promaori

I tried it again to make sure i wasnt crazy and clicked repair service and it said it was successful so i relaunched the game and still nothing got the same errors.

My husband bought and downloaded the game. I searched for a good twenty minutes and this is the one that worked. Hopefully this reply will help others believe this is the genuine solution (at least for me) and not another troll post. Thank you for taking the time. My first post. :grinning:
