In the last few days, tons of New World players have been struggling to launch and play the game successfully due to an issue with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC), which is the software that Amazon Games uses to ensure that New World PvP isn't plagued by hackers. The connection of EAC appears to be faulty right now, which is preventing countless people from being able to play the game.
Thankfully, there's a quick and easy solution to this problem: running the EAC repair tool for New World. In this guide, we'll show you how you can run EAC's repair tool so that you can get back to playing one of 2021's best multiplayer PC games.

- Select Library at the top of the client.
- Select New World.
- Select the gear icon.
- Hover over the Manage drop down menu.
