Scan for malware
- Try scanning for malware. Malware can cause many adverse effects on your computer. These effects vary widely depending upon the type and purpose of the malware. High resource usage can be one of the symptoms, which directly impacts your gaming experience. If you have your own preferred anti-virus or anti-malware software, use it to scan your computer.
Restart your computer
- Close all open programs, including New World and Steam.
- Select the Windows button, and then the power button.
- Select Restart.
Anti-Virus
- Errors with EAC can occur due to a virus infection on your system. Performing a full-system scan can help identify if there is an issue with your anti-virus. If your full system scan doesn't provide any results, ensure your anti-virus or other software is not falsely blocking Easy Anti-Cheat
