New World Dev Tracker

Thanks for the report! The team is aware and I’ve forwarded this thread over to them as well.

So here are the things I can think of if you aren’t seeing the Steam Overlay pop-up but you’re seeing the “Transaction in Progress” screen.

1. You have the Steam Overlay disabled both in-game and Steam
2. You have the Steam Overlay disabled either in-game OR Steam

If that’s the case, you’ll need to have enabled both in-game and Steam. You can find the instructions to enable them here: Steam Support :: Steam Community Overlay

3. You have multiple monitors and maybe the Steam Overlay appeared there?
4. You are running Admin on Steam but not New World (or vice versa). In that case, you’ll need to run both with Admin enabled or disabled but they need to be run the same w...

Looks like you have the step ready to claim. Click on each one of the completed objects to get credit for them. If you have trouble doing so, let me know!

Looks like you were one of the players who had logged out while their character was dead prior to the Season 1 update.

This downtime post should provide additional information but in summary, we’re working diligently on a subsequent patch to grant the items those players lost, when the initial Season 1 - Fellowship and Fire Update was released.

Thanks for the report! We’re aware of the issue and the team is currently investigating. Some workarounds I’ve seen are removing all the furniture and replacing it or relogging.

In episode 21 of Forged in Aeternum, it’s our first solo episode! Dave Verfaillie (Creative Director) goes solo to introduce a new monthly segment: Balance of Power. This show will focus on combat and taking a hard, honest look at the state of balance in New World.

If you run the game in Admin but Steam isn’t run in Admin, that may cause the issue as well.

The downtime on April 5th will prevent further occurrences of players getting into this state. We’re also working diligently on a subsequent patch to grant the items those players lost, when the initial Season 1 - Fellowship and Fire Update was released.

Also make sure Steam Overlay is enabled both in Steam and in-game.

Can you provide your in-game character name and world? Thanks!

Messaging OP - closing thread.

We’re also working diligently on a subsequent patch to grant the items those players lost, when the initial Season 1 - Fellowship and Fire Update was released. When we have more information, we’ll post it in the Announcements section and disseminate the information throughout the threads that discuss this.

From the update a few hours ago: We’re also working diligently on a subsequent patch to grant the items those players lost, when the initial Season 1 - Fellowship and Fire Update was released.

This should be preventing players who haven’t logged on since before the Season 1 update from getting stuck in this state. We have not returned missing gear.

OP, did you enter the game yesterday before this patch: [Downtime] April 5th, 2023?

This should have been fixed in the update that deployed a bit ago… can you try restarting the game? I’m going to send this to the team in the meantime just in case.

Can you send me a screenshot of that you’re seeing as well as your character name and world?

Thank you!
