Trying to get into game, plays intro, then blacks out. According to task manager game is ceasing to respond.
Installed Mods:

The only mods I have installed are ones other people are using on the server I am trying to get into. That said I can’t even get to the server menu for it to check my mods as it’s locking up right after the intro.

I have verified file integrity, I have done several total re-installs of the game. I played this game before for 175+ hours and had no issues like this, I would appreciate a viable fix if at all possible.
Try unsubscribing to ALL (Conan) mods in Steam, then deleting the modlist.txt file located at: \steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Mods …After that, run a file integrity check on Conan in Steam (Steam may or may not put modlist.txt back into it’s directory, if it does, that is okay, it will be a blank file). Restart your computer for good measure (always a good practice) and then restart your game.
Thanks this sort of worked but now I’m getting another error after removing everything and restarting from scratch. I’m getting a window that says “application failed to launch the game , please restart launcher, or launch manually from installation directory”. It’s not even letting me get as far as the intro movie at the moment.
Do you have any ideas? If not I’ll write another report and/or a letter to Funcom and see if they can help. It’s weird that I am going from one problem to another as this game ran really smoothly before.
Not sure if that worked, it’s a picture of the error I’m now getting after removing all the mods and trying it fresh. I’ve even tried a clean install again, and it won’t launch.
Are you clicking the continue button or the launch button? It’s possible that if you are clicking the ‘continue’ button, it’s sending you to the same server with whatever mod was causing the problem for you to begin with. Try the ‘launch’ button and from the main menu select an official server just to see if it will load. If you were clicking the continue button, it is also possible that you have now re-downloaded your mods, you may need to go into settings (on the Gameplay tab) and uncheck that auto subscribe option.
If this doesn’t help then you should definitely open a new thread with this error message and see if someone who knows a bit more can help you out. @Narelle is very knowledgeable about mods and may have dealt with this issue previously.
