A formal report on the so-called "5-second freeze lag"

Game mode: [ Select one: (Online official & Online private) ]
Type of issue: [ Select one: Performance ]
Server type: [ All ]
Region: [ All ]
Hardware: [ PS4 & PS5 ]


Bug Description:

This lag occurs abruptly during gameplay. The game screen freezes and moves a little, about once every 5 seconds. Repeat this for a few minutes.


Expected Behavior:

At this time, the player’s game screen freezes, but the server time seems to be moving, and unintended, that is, the movement of characters and NPCs that the player cannot recognize is occurring.


Steps to Reproduce:

I don’t know how to reproduce it perfectly. However, here’s what I and my colleagues predicted when this happened, or when it was likely to happen.

· Occurs on all consoles.
· Occurs on all official regional servers.
· Occurs even on a private server.
· So far, it hasn’t happened in single player.
· Occurs in the Exiles land and on the Isle of Siptah.
· Occurs with or without VC.
· Occurs regardless of real time.
· Occurs in both the download version and the disc version.
· Our region number is #312706/29850.
· The current updated versions are North American Conan Exiles: Version 1.69 and Japanese Conan Exiles “Conan Outcasts”: Version 1.48.

· (Predict) There is a place where it is likely to occur.

  • For example, it is a sensation that tends to occur in some storages on the Isle of Siptah and in places where many NPCs are read.

Also, as an example, I’ll attach the delivery archive where this issue is occurring. (He is a friend of mine and has permission to use this distribution archive for me.)

(Occurrence time: 1:42:35 - 1:47:25)
(Japanese version of Conan Exiles “Conan Outcasts”,
PS5, DL version, the official ASIA server, PVE)

So far as I know it’s specifically PS console and is happening a lot after their last patch.

I only have a small sample size of the people on my Xbox server, but no one has been describing this weird micro stutter that I’m seeing consistently reported by PS players

Some of them do get lag or late rendering, but it doesn’t seem to be the same issue.

I was adventuring with a friend who is on an original XB1 and I’m on a series X. We went to fight a boss, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that I had the boss under half health before the game even render the boss for my friend

I would have waited but I didn’t even know that he couldn’t see the boss :upside_down_face:

Thank you for your reply!

And I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. The console I mentioned is “PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5”.
(This is for PlayStation discussion, so I wrote it.)

I know how it feels, but the purpose of this article is the article title. In other words, “detail the problem and increase the probability that the problem will be solved”.

Please understand. And hopefully, if your problem is the same as the title of this article, I recommend adding it, and if it’s different, I recommend creating a new article.

I experience the same issue seen in the video as well

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, the same thing happened with the video you received!

Just to add, my single player have it as well but only if there big structures over different part of map and building decay turn on.

This is a result of an untested patch, like all the other console bugs that drive players away.

O probado, quién sabe… Yo creo que van con mucha prisa siempre solo hay que ver las bolas de las mazmorras, a los españoles nos ponen la traducción escrito en inglés eso demuestra una falta de tiempo y despreocupación por parte de no se sabe muy bien quién. funcom por supuesto.

We are not developers. Therefore, I cannot identify it as the cause.

Thank you!
I also keep an eye on it every day!
And hopefully it will be fixed in the near future!

After the 2.5.1 equivalent update, this issue no longer appears. At least in our group.

Therefore, I will stop writing this topic.

Thank you for the information!

  • If the same problem occurs again, we will create a new topic and report it again.
