Age of Sorcery update broke my game :(

Playing Conan on PS5 single player.

Bugs seen due to update:

  • Textures/Objects disappeared (Carpets, clothing, statues, beds, tables)
  • Base objects partially appearing (Wheels of pain)
  • A few subtle graphical changes (not sure if these were intentional but I hope they aren’t because the game definitely does not look better)
  • Randomly gaining corruption (possibly from performer thralls ironically, but not certain they are the source)

I am a relatively new player to Conan Exiles, started a few months back and I have been playing a little here and there around work and stuff, and been having the best time! Absolutely love this game. But the update that came out today has really broke my game and my base. I’m really bummed out about this, I hope it gets fixed soon.

Welcome to the Forum. Don’t give up our private server is screwed currently but I feel this will mostly be fixed. Hang tight.

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah I will be keeping my fingers crossed this is not too difficult to fix. I also kinda take back what I said about the graphical changes, it looks better in some ways, will probably just take getting used to.

The main issue for me at the time is the missing building pieces finding and opening doors is a pain. Let us know how it turns out for you. Going to bed know catch you later.

Soon… if not today it will potential be Monday but unlikely

Thank you I appreciate the response. I hope it is not too stressful at work trying to sort it out. While I’m here I have to say this game is excellent! I haven’t played anything quite like it, love the soundtrack, the lighting and the world design. There’s so many cool monsters as well, and oddities to see in the world, I came across that door with the levers and the guys trapped inside the other day and that really cracked me up! Really my respect goes out to the creators for this fun game.

What door with levers and people trapped inside?

Noticed a lot of bugs on both PS4 and PC as well. Everything from enemies not fully loading in, and just being an outline of half rendered pixels, resources like Ironstone and Brimstone not loading in and just being invisible, half of the environment not fully rendering and it just looks like a baron wasteland, armour not fully loading and it just looks like a glossy black sheen, invisible weapons and tools. Find that from what I have personally seen PS4 is just flat out busted, and with PC it’s just crash central. Oh and not to mention that on PS4, I cannot claim the rewards from the pass. Even though I am at level three, I cannot claim any of the rewards. I would hope that by monday they do a massive patch to fix the majority if not all of this.

oh and lets not forget that it seems like the colouring for the world is set differently. Like the contrast got a massive over correction. It’s just an eyesore.

I don’t understand any of this… if u see how bad it is why not shut the servers down it is clearly broken…i understand that sorcery update just came out but this is terrible…and you are asking for money? I was so ready to buy the pass and all content i really enjoy the game but as of now its unplayable the disconnect an losing all my gear the invisible base i have it is all bad…y not shut servers down all you are doing is losing potential money an the longer this happens the hardcore players will leave as well

New game issues happening friend. With a patch or two we’ll get back to normal. Be patient for now. Jump on You Tube and watch Pixelcave or Firespark81 or Kiah On Fire or Wak4863 for some interesting 3.0 content. It’ll chew up the wait time. We’ll be slaying poor unfortunate NPCs soon enough.

Currently Playing single player on PS4, with about 2 years into the online game. I was pumped to play an update on console so soon after initial release of 3.0. So Kudos, I feel like I am in the loop for once. The invisible armour is sweet as hell, on the Conan Exiles Map, many of the Siptah expansion armours now grant invisibility for the body part it is worn on, serpent gloves, no wrists, chest of the Wolf (chest disappears) and invisible helms make my hair disappear.

I would also add that of the building sets the ARENA building set (Blood and Sand) give you a completely invisible tower or base. Including doors, it can be disorienting, (but fun as hell) also the lever inside the elevator does not load (lots of feeling around in the dark).

I know fixes are coming soon, and I would be happy to play through all of these glitches and idiosyncrasies, but I can’t keep my game from crashing long enough to build a decent bug report, I think in the 6 or so times I have loaded up since 3.0 dropped I play for about 20-30 minutes before my game locks up or shoots me to blue screen. So as promising as this amazing new major update will be, this first bit makes it unplayable due to lock ups and blue screens. Looking forward to the patches guys. PS4 player here, please please don’t let this update be an XBOX style memory leak, that really would kill this game for the console, we got faith in you Funcom!

Addendum:: most of my crashes seem to happen when interacting with thralls or my horse. Just a FYI. Good luck Funcom, your next couple weeks of trouble shooting are sure to be hellish.

Hardcore players are gonna keep logging in to refresh their land claims, but you are bang on with your comment, excitement about the update was perfect, but pushing the update live at this stage of development seems unfair for the development team. Game is way too buggy to be live on PS4. I haven’t played online for about 2 months now, but I imagine most players will be logging on just refresh.

I hope Funcom institutes the 2 week decay timer (about 300 hrs) decay rate til the dust settles.

Atleast you can play the game
They haven’t updated more then 100 asian servers
I am locked out of my official server since 2 days

@Lordakurei , @PloddingDonkey is referring to the NEEBS GAMING easter egg, it is located in the desert Biome, right beside the Jackal servant to Jhebbal Sag. There is another NEEBS GAMING Easter Egg in the Jungle Biome by a world boss spider, I think it’s referred to as Skull Tree Graveyard. (inside the area known as the Silkwood).

So where to start for xbox,
Invisible
Gear
Npcs
Thralls
Buildings
Dlc content
New building system is broke because when you place with rb it sometimes switches to destroy intest of place causing removal of placed buildable blocks.

CONSTANT DISCONNECT FROM SERVERS CAUSING CONSTANT RELOAD INTO GAME!!!

Huge increase in pings due to invisable items and update.

Majic spells causing large amounts of lag increasing chances of disconnection.

And dont get me started on load times i hate to be a official player by the time you load in your stuff will be gone when you die it takes so long.

Thanks for the replies Damon and everyone else. When I first posted this there was only a few posts up about it so I wasn’t sure if it was affecting everyone else’s game or just a few. But there is plenty up now so my hope is with it being a such a big issue it will get more attention until it is fixed hopefully… I did see one post up saying that a patch might be in the process of being certified but Funcom can’t announce it yet… But that’s just what I read from another post so take it with a pinch of salt. But either way I learned my lesson from this, in future I will be checking the forums before downloading any future updates/expansions.
