So many servers are facing issues… We urgently need Funcom to step forward and communicate openly about what’s happening

Yes!

Otherwise it creates fantasies and imaginations that run wild, fueled by anger from being disgruntled.

I have no interest in their daily schedules or want to use a magnifying lense on them, I just want, like so many others, communication and action when it is most needed.

It is badly needed here.

I feel lucky one of my friends in a server owner group noticed the microupdate. Otherwise I’d have zero idea of cause. I never dreamed they’d drop ANY update on a major holiday, no matter how minute.

Which “undocumented microupdate”?

Some super small update apparently dropped, one that wasn’t in a changelog or announced or anything, they have happened before, but this one totally broke my game. I was able to sign in before dinner on thanksgiving, bought the vineyard set and said to myself, I’ll come back later to build with it after dinner, and it completely broke during that time. An eagle-eyed player on a discord I am in had noticed a small patch had dropped around that time.

That’s weird - Funcom always post details of their updates, and don’t appear to discriminate over size. My servers sure didn’t get updates last week, nor did my Solo setup?
Guessing you need to complete the ZenDesk form to get a formal answer: NEW Bug Report Template (I think that’s the report template)

Yeah that’s what I did, hence this post. If it needs to be in-game… that’s simply impossible currently. But I have definitely seen smaller, several kilobyte updates before get pushed through with nothing to indicate they happened aside from my steam downloads history. I also am aware that the ~500KB ones are DLC checks but yeah.

The last update to the game was on November 4th when they released the hotfix.
There was no new update, “micro” or otherwise.

Then what are these small downloads every so often? Legitimately asking because it is incredibly strange and the timing is very coincidental.

Typically mods, however since you’re not playing with mods, I’m unsure… Personally I never get any small downloads for Conan outside of mod updates (which I know when they happen).

You think there’s a chance your installation is somehow corrupted and the game is trying to redownload essential stuff for launching? Unsure if it would since I never had that, but it can’t hurt to do a verify integrity on the game files if you haven’t already done that.

Hmmm possibly. I have verified them a few times already, I suppose another couldn’t hurt. Then again what I am experiencing is identical to what most people experienced at the release of Age of Heroes. Perhaps I just got delayed onset gamewontstartitis lol

You may find it’s a Steam thing. Do es anyone else play on that PC or login differently to your login? Sometimes Steam will do a criteria update (or something). Possibly when one person plays in Conan and then another on same machine? Maybe Battleye? But not a Game update.

True, that could be it. I reinstalled the game fully so we shall see if it works now. Aside from that the only thing I can do is wait for a patch.

Well I learned other players can access other servers, just not mine. Any update on this funcom? I’ve lost a couple weeks of paid server time at this point with zero acknowledgement.

I put in a ticket with Gportal, and it is now fixed. Any other private server owners having this problem, I urge you to do the same. It was working within 20 minutes.
