50+ Mods...hardly crash

I play regularly on Gaming Laptop PC on a rented 3rd part server and don’t experience these crashes people are always crying about. I sometimes wonder if it is a RAM issue for people. The game is huge. I run 50+ mods…all the best clothing, building, Exiled Lands addon dungeons, and some other tweaking mods and some weapons, and hardly get crashes at all. I experience the normal bugs…the human npc fall through map being the worst. Otherwise, mostly the bugs I experience are the mods I use sometimes janking things. When my internet connection is good - I simply am not experiencing these frequent bugs people are crying about all the time. the problem may be their systems. If it is a console - maybe consoles are maxed by the game. IDK. Not having the problem with a load of mods, too. With a game the size of Conan, a bad connections can mess with data and sometimes crash you…and if you are in combat - end up logging in to a dead character. This may be a RAM/Connection/Data issue - not always the game. Also, I have been playing on modded server like this for a few years, and sometimes people just don’t know what they are doing with mods. idk about the official servers, never went there.

I don’t play with mods.

I have a good rig that is almost at top spec and well above minimum system requirements.

Can you please review this and tell me what you think?

Oh also for funsies, please review this compared to this.

Tell me what you see. I want to know if you reach the same conclusion that I have.

IDK. All I know is what I posted for info. I am not getting these crashes. If I have crashed in the past, I remember it being during combat when alot of functions and attacks are all going off and the video is taxed.

I think he’s over compensating for something. :wink:

You know what my daddy told me when I was overly proud?
“you want a metal or a chest to pin it on”?

No, seriously why do you feel this deep need to brag up your system while belittling everyone else’s?

Feeling a bit inadequate maybe?

There are legacy bugs that you can’t avoid, or other bugs the are not at all system dependent, they are just game bugs. They are unavoidable, if you’re going to set there and claim you are not having any issues with the game or experiencing bugs, I’m going to question the validity of your statements.

Well, I agree that every player should ensure they meet the minimum system requirements and are choosing good servers. But that isn’t so simple.

I don’t know when they updated the minimum system requirements but they never told us and it is not reflected on the official Conan Exiles website.

We can’t change what happens on GPortal servers and it is further exacerbated by GPortal being the promoted server host for private servers. Add in that consoles do not have a choice.

Then consoles, Xbox received a performance update (2020/2021) and PS has not. Neither can update their rigs.

I have over 7k hrs in game (some PVE, some private servers with mods, mostly PVP Official PC servers) and over 200 hrs testing AoH Beta with an older rig. Had to update after release and other than some slight performance improvement, 98% of the issues I have experienced, bug reported, still exist.

Basically what I am getting to is: there are MANY ways to play this game. Your experience is not necessarily the same as everyone else, nor for those on specific hardware (which they can’t change and/or meet or exceed minimum system requirements), niche playstyles, modes or choice in play such as on singleplayer/co-op.

Have a look at this too to give some more context on my viewpoints.

This.

I’ve been seeing a mentality of some that they “learn to live with” or “workaround” the bugs as if this cancels them out too? I don’t get it. They’re still there. It’s ok to do those things but obfuscating or dismissing the experiences of others pains the hell out of me.

We should be putting forward a united front and encouraging the CE Staff to aim for excellence. Helping them and recognizing the struggles of the greater player base, even for things we don’t experience, is very very important.

Easy Champ. This isn’t personal. LOL. The premise seems worth discussion.

Other issues such as server tick rate effect this issue, too. I have noticed that sometimes a 30 tick rate performs better than a 60 tick rate. If the connection or user end computer, or even the server, get bottlenecked with the data around the tick rate etc. - it could effect this. Not trying to offend anyone. Not the intent. I think CE is a great game, and I just see the FC getting beat to a pulp in the forums about something that I do not experience like, apparently, others do experience. We are actually on the same side here: liking the game and discussing it’s issues.
**I deleted the part about get a new rig in the post title. Hope this helps the hurt feelings. ;p

Perhaps in the future when you’re inquiring on something you don’t advise to “get a new rig” or say such things as “crashes people are always crying about”.

These have accusatory and negative connotations.

Again, I agree with you, everyone should ensure they have the ability to actually play the game. Some don’t. By and large this isn’t really their fault though - especially consoles. Communication regarding big changes to the game such as the increased minimum system requirements on PC did not happen (I looked hard, X, Steam, forums, nothing about it). I didn’t know about this until I started digging myself.

Some stuff might require a bit of tinkering, or perhaps, even an upgrade. Maybe even failing hardware. Posting on here for help to determine what the cause is, is just normal socialization and info gathering on spaces like this.

Your suggestion for a new rig isn’t actually bad - it’s just dismissive and doesn’t really address all angles. I was forced to make that leap. But it absolutely amazes me to the degree that I still see problems. Sure I don’t fling myself off a cliff rubberbanding like a broken record running a bit anymore, but I still can’t get Feast to Yog to craft from beginning to end with the intended recipe initiation.

For the record, I don’t have hurt feelings. I only want all of us to understand the reality and for Funcom to do their best - as they have admitted twice since June, they have not been doing.

Yes, I was perhaps relaying my annoyance with gamer communities who act so abusive towards company development teams. The same thing happens everywhere. I must say, I made my post with a chuckle, and do not feel bad. But, just following up with a little politeness. Please get a laugh out of it - all ppl do is complain and complain. I agree, though…there are some glaring things that they say they are addressing. Will be interesting to see how things go in the future. As an afterthought…maybe the mods I’m using stabilize something! Lol!

Crashes from mods can come from a single mod if its not up to date or touches things it shouldn’t. Sometimes mod order can cause issues (though above tends to apply in this case).

In theory you could probably run 500 mods without issue. But I believe around 25 is the most I’ve personally done just for the sake of sanity during update periods.

are you expecting a pad on the back or what is this post meant for?

:eggplant:

It definitely is a factor, but regardless, it shouldn’t be a factor. I mean, I experienced the same issues with Star Citizen, but whenI switched to a new rig, most of the issues I had went away.
Having fast SSDs, plenty of RAM is certainly a factor imho. But it is then in FUNCOM’s responibility to either optimize or update the requirements.

rude

Well you asked what the post was meant for.

i asked the op, not you :smiley:

not sure how genuine your question for the OP actually was to begin with…
He wasn’t bragging about his rig, he just pointed out, that more potent systems seem to be less affected by common bugs or software problems. Which seems actually to be the case and therefore is worthy of a discussion…if you feel it ain’t so - you could just ignore this post altogether.
