Are all the official servers on PC currently down? Is it due to the update, I can’t find anything online about them going down… but it’s been like 30 minutes since they went down for me and just wondered if they would be back up today or not until after the update?
You are correct, all official servers appear to be down due to the unannounced update prior to the update tomorrow.
I wish I could be shocked Funcom would behave in such a dismissive way towards its customers.
Your reply made my day 
i just logged on to prepare a couple of things for tomorrows update when the servers went down
Not giving us any announcement prior is crazy work, UGH… Sadly, also unsurprised.
"Official servers: On May 4th, 15:00 UTC, all Official PC servers will be brought down in anticipation of the update to Conan Exiles Enhanced (UE5). The entire server database will be updated to UE5, including your character. Once this happens, there is no way to take your character back to Conan Exiles Legacy (UE4). To keep your character in Conan Exiles Legacy, you will need to remove it from the server prior to May 4th. You can do this using the Server Transfer Tool. You will then be able to migrate your character to a Conan Exiles Legacy private server or single-player game.
- Note: You will retain your character level, progress, inventory, and followers, but will not be able to retain your bases or any other items placed in the world. To facilitate rebuilding, you can dismantle your base and store the materials and other items you wish to take with you in your followers’ inventories. "
This should be in the pinned.
The time is ln the blog post they wrote about the whole upgrade to UE5. 15:00 UTC may 4.
My mistake. There was so much information there I missed it.
Looks like they are coming up slowly in server order. #1000, #1001, #1002 etc
I moved my character over a few days ago and rebuilt. hope they don’t overwrite it XD.
They do? I thought they would be down until the update drops.
I think it is the server database updates today then full swap tomorrow.
Oh good, an announcement two-ish weeks ago mentioned in passing a server maintenance time.
If only there existed some mechanism in this age of AI to automatically post a reminder in the forums.
I’ll be honest, I missed the note about maintenance in a information dense post. That’s my fault.
Spotty, at best, and bad per usual communication is the Funcom norm.
Looks like the Official servers are coming back up but Password Protected lol. Guess maybe we do have to wait until tomorrow!
Yeah, madness!
Looks like they are making sure they are all running smoothly before the update is available for download, and since we are all still on UE4 until then they are locked from joining
so if we are lucky we can play tomorrow evening?
No idea, there’s no announced release time, just that it will be May 5th.
So down all day now?
