Method 1: Ensure your PC meets the minimum system requirements for playing New World

If your PC is under the minimum system requirements for playing New World, you may encounter the stuck on loading screen error. To fix the error, the first thing you should do is to check your computer specs and ensure your PC meets the minimum system requirements to play New World.

Here’re the minimum system requirements to play New World:

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system

• Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-2400 / AMD CPU with 4 physical cores @ 3Ghz
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA® GTX 670 2GB / AMD Radeon™ R9 280 or better
• DirectX: Version 12
• Network: Broadband Internet connection
• Disk: 7200 HDD
• Storage: 50 GB available space

If your PC meets the minimum system requirements, go ahead to try other methods.

Method 2: Verify the game files

The stuck on loading screen error can be caused by corrupted or missing game files. You can have Steam verify the game files. If the game files are corrupted or missing, the verification process can fix and restore the files.

You can follow these steps to verify the game files:

1) Launch Steam.

2) Right-click on New World in your library and then select Properties.

3) Click the Local Files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files… button. Then Steam will start verifying the game files. This process may take several minutes. Please wait until the process is complete.

4) Once done, restart your computer and see if you can play New World successfully.

If Method 2 doesn’t work for you, continue to try Method 3.

Method 3: Update graphics card drivers

Outdated graphics card drivers can also be the cause. To fix the error, you can try updating the graphics card driver.

You can update the graphics card driver via Device Manager:

1) Open Device Manager (learn how to access Device Manager).

2) Expand category “Display adapters”. Right-click on your graphics card device and then select Update driver.

3) Select Search automatically for drivers. Then Windows will search for a new driver and install the driver automatically.

Alternatively, you can verify your graphics card’s model and download the latest version of the graphics card driver from graphics card manufacturer’s website.

If Method 3 doesn’t work for you, you can try Method 4.

Method 4: Delete saved data

Some New World users have reported that deleting saved data helped them fix the infinite loading screen error. You can also try this method and see if it works for you. Here’s how to do it:

1) Press Win+R keys to open the Run box.

2) Type %appdata% into the Run box and click the OK button.

3) Go to AppData > Roaming > AGS > New World.

4) Inside the New World folder, locate and delete the Savedata folder and the user_preload_settings.cfg file. These deleted files will be recreated after you restart your computer.

5) Restart your computer and launch New World to see if the error still occurs.

If the error still occurs, try the next method.
