🎮 Game Error Codes What it means & how to fix it

New World: Aeternum Error Codes

Almost every New World: Aeternum error is a connection problem between your client and Amazon's servers — 'network connection lost', 'removed from world' and 'unable to connect to server' are all variants of a dropped or refused link. Most are fixed by resetting your network stack or disabling IPv6. Here's what each common error means and the fastest fix.

Error codes

Network Connection Lost The client's link to the server dropped

Cause: An unstable connection, an ISP hiccup, or a brief server-side interruption.

Fix:
  1. Restart your PC and power-cycle your modem/router for 60 seconds.
  2. Reset your network stack: ipconfig /flushdns, /release, /renew and netsh winsock reset (admin Command Prompt).
  3. Switch to a wired Ethernet connection.
Removed From World You were disconnected from your world/server

Cause: A world restart/maintenance, a timeout, or an unstable connection dropped your session.

Fix:
  1. Check the New World server status for maintenance.
  2. Restart the game and rejoin your world.
  3. Use a wired connection to avoid mid-session drops.
Unable to Connect to Server The client can't reach the game server at login

Cause: A server outage, a firewall block, or an IPv6 routing problem.

Fix:
  1. Try disabling IPv6 in your network adapter properties — a known fix for New World.
  2. Allow the game through your firewall and disable any VPN.
  3. Check server status, then restart the game and router.
Error 120 Generic connection error

Cause: A temporary connection/session error between client and server.

Fix:
  1. Restart the game — this clears Error 120 for most players.
  2. Power-cycle your router and retry.
  3. Confirm the game is fully updated.
Lost Connection to Server (queue/login) Dropped while connecting or waiting in queue

Cause: Server load during peak times or an unstable link during the login handshake.

Fix:
  1. Wait and retry if servers are busy; avoid rapid re-login attempts.
  2. Reset your network stack and flush DNS.
  3. Switch to a public DNS (8.8.8.8 / 1.1.1.1).

Fixes that work for most New World: Aeternum (PC, Xbox & PlayStation) errors

  1. Check the game's server status first (official status page, or the studio's support/X account) — most named connection errors are a maintenance window or outage, and no local fix will help until servers are back.
  2. Restart the game and your PC/console, and power-cycle your router — a fresh connection clears the majority of temporary login and connection errors.
  3. On PC, allow the game and its launcher through your firewall and antivirus, and disable any VPN or proxy — these block the authentication handshake behind many 'can't connect' codes.
  4. Flush your DNS (Command Prompt: ipconfig /flushdns) or switch to a public DNS like 8.8.8.8 / 1.1.1.1 if the game can't reach its servers.
  5. Verify/repair the game files (Steam: Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify; Epic: repair) if the error points at a corrupted install or update.
