Conan Exiles Enhanced - Community Update #5

Greetings, Exiles!

It’s been just over seven weeks since the launch of Conan Exiles Enhanced, and what an incredible journey it has been so far.
Since the game’s release, hundred of thousands of players have ventured into the Exiled Lands. We’ve seen a concurrency peak of over 47,000 players on Steam, countless new stories unfold, and lots of great feedback shared across our community channels.
During this time, we’ve delivered multiple updates focused on quality-of-life improvements, gameplay adjustments, performance enhancements, and bug fixes.
Your feedback, reports, discussions, videos, and suggestions continue to shape the future of Conan Exiles Enhanced. Today, we’d like to share an update on some of the topics you’ve been discussing the most.

Thank you for all your incredible support!


Vendhyan Bazaar Bundles

This week, we added our first cosmetic content drop to the Bazaar in quite some time.
Many players love and appreciate these new bundles, which contain more items than previous Bazaar offerings, a cohesive theme and endless building possibilities.
Other players feel that the bundles price-to-value ratio and availability could be improved.

We’ve been discussing your feedback internally and looking at ways we can improve future Bazaar releases based on what we’ve heard from you.
As part of that, we’ve released 1.3.1 hotfix today to address an issue with the Splendors of Vendhya bundle. Currently, the Bazaar UI only displays around 21 building pieces, while the bundle actually contains 47 pieces.

The hotfix will ensure all included pieces are properly represented so players can make more informed purchasing decisions.
We’ve also heard your concerns regarding the availability window for some bundles. Because many of you felt that the 2-day timer was too short, we’ve extended the duration of both the Vendhyan Shrine and Vendhyan Noble’s Bedchamber bundles. Their availability has now been doubled to give players more time to consider them.

Regarding pricing, we understand that the total cost of this release has sparked discussion within the community. This is the largest themed Bazaar collection we’ve released for Conan Exiles, containing more items and pieces than previous themed drops.
While the overall bundle value is higher because of the amount of content included, the price per item or building piece remains comparable to, and in some cases slightly lower than, previous Bazaar offerings.
That said, we understand that value is about more than just item counts, and we don’t want to dismiss any of the concerns that have been raised. We are listening, we are discussing the feedback internally, and your input is helping shape future improvements.

We’re actively discussing these topics internally, so that we can find ways to better align these offerings with player expectations.

Please continue to share your thoughts, as they play an important role in helping us improve the Conan Exiles experience.


Server Performance

One of the main areas of focus since launch has been server performance and stability on all official servers.
Across our last two major updates, we’ve implemented a wide range of backend optimizations aimed at reducing server strain, improving stability during peak hours, and creating a smoother experience overall.
We’ve seen encouraging improvements across many official servers, and we’ve also heard from many players who have noticed these changes firsthand.
We understand that not every player or server configuration will experience the same results, and we’ll continue monitoring server health, gathering your feedback, and making additional improvements where needed.
Our goal remains simple: less time dealing with performance issues and more time surviving, building, exploring, and conquering for all our players!


Conan Exiles Enhanced Public Beta Returns

Over the past few weeks, one of the most common requests from the community has been the return of a public testing environment.
We agree that getting updates into players’ hands earlier helps us identify issues faster and allows us to gather valuable feedback before changes reach the live game.
With that in mind, we’re excited to announce that the Conan Exiles Enhanced Public Beta Client testing is back.
Going forward, major updates will typically spend around one week in the public beta before their planned live release. This gives players an opportunity to test new features, provide feedback, and help us identify major issues that affect the gameplay experience.
Your participation directly helps improve the quality of future updates, and we’re looking forward to working alongside the community throughout the testing process.

You can read the full details about the our first Public Beta Client patch here:
Public Beta Client - Patch 1.3.0
Please keep in mind that the public beta test servers are no longer available as 1.3.0 is now on the Live Client.


Mods and Mod Support

The Conan Exiles modding community has always been one of the game’s greatest strengths, and we know how important mod support is to many of you.
With recent updates, older mods should no longer prevent players from launching the game or trigger compatibility errors that impact startup.
We remain committed to ensuring that future updates work better alongside community-created content and to minimizing disruption whenever possible. The creativity, passion, and dedication of our modding community continue to play a vital role in the long-term health of Conan Exiles, and we want to support that as best we can.

We are exited to tease an incredible event catered around our amazing modding community.
Conan Exiles Enhanced “Forge Your Legacy” Community Modding Contest

It’s a contest with monetary prizes centered around creating new mods for Conan Exiles Enhanced. An official announcement will be made next week, so keep an eye out for it if you are interested in participating.


Summer Decay Timers and July Events

As we approach our annual summer holiday period at Funcom, we know many players will also be traveling, spending time with friends and family, or taking vacations of their own.
To help ensure that players don’t return to unexpected losses, decay timers on all official servers will be extended from 10 days to 20 days between July 1st and September 1st.
This means you’ll have additional time away from the game without needing to worry as much about maintaining your structures and settlements during the summer months.

But that’s not all! While previous summers have traditionally been quieter periods, this year we’re taking a different approach. The team has been preparing additional content, updates, and activities that we can’t wait to share with you.

Here is a quick teaser for what’s happening in the Exiled Lands this July.

  • Modding Community Contest with amazing prizes $$$

  • New content coming - Yes, you heard that right!

We’ll have more details soon, but you can expect the Exiled Lands to remain active throughout the summer.


Looking Ahead

Conan Exiles Enhanced is still at the beginning of its journey.
We’ve accomplished a great deal together in a short period of time, but we’re far from finished. Your feedback continues to guide our priorities, whether that’s performance improvements, bug fixes, quality-of-life features, mod support, balance changes, or entirely new experiences.

Thank you for your passion, your patience, and your continued support.
We’ll see you in the Exiled Lands.

Thanks for the update.

Are there patch notes for todays patch?

Here - Conan Exiles Enhanced June Hotfixes - #5 by Dana

You bring out a whole DLC pack so to say in the bazaar and that really cool and I understand you guys bought Conan and need to earn some cash but for EU people 75 euro’s is really a lot of money, Prices are getting insanly expensive and the US market thinks its not alot due to you guys make 5 to 10 times more money then over here not even that but a dlc thats 1.7 times the price of the base game I dont know.

I’m happy to see you guys are looking internaly into it but i’m almost positive the prices will not drop and if they will drop its for new stuff but not these items

What I don’t understand about the Bazaar pricing strategy is this: is direct revenue the only value Funcom gets from releasing new content?

Funcom proudly celebrates milestones like “40k+ players online!” on social media. But when it comes to keeping those players engaged, some of the best cosmetic content ever added to the game ends up being accessible to only a relatively small portion of the player base.

The result isn’t just fewer sales. It can also dampen excitement, frustrate a large part of the community, generate negative discussion, and ultimately make it harder to maintain momentum and retain players.

When I first saw the leaked pack, I honestly imagined a very different reaction. I pictured Reddit lighting up with posts like:

“Funcom brought back the old DLC model!”

Players getting excited, sharing screenshots, building with the new pieces, and riding the wave of enthusiasm created by Enhanced. The combination of a major engine upgrade and a highly anticipated DLC could have created a huge positive moment for the game.

Instead, what happened feels uncomfortably familiar. The conversation quickly shifted away from the content itself and toward pricing and accessibility. A lot of players feel excluded, expectations were deflated, and much of the goodwill generated by Enhanced seems to have been overshadowed by what looks, from the outside, like a short-term monetization strategy.

Maybe the numbers prove otherwise internally. But as a player looking at the community reaction, it feels like a missed opportunity to turn a great content release into a moment that united and energized the entire player base.

Are they tho? Are they really REALLY tho? Because for a lot of players who have been with Conan Exiles through thick and thin and through good and the absolute worst have been voicing their exact same issues for YEARS and it always fell on deaf ears.

Game felt abandoned for years without Funcom saying a peep and occasionally throw the back then community manager to the lions to calm down the forums where they would say a few words and people would appreciate it very much because they were really the single thread of connection with Funcom.

I would like to enjoy this, but i’m on Microsoft Store :frowning:

Thank you for advising that you will be ignoring us for the next two months. This is a nice change from the other 9-10 months of the year when you ignore us for no obvious reason whatsoever.

Official server performance is still garbage, by the way. Thanks for ■■■■■■■■ us again.

What Zzarbo said!

Oh, allow me to retort on that one. I keep getting d/c on my PvE server and I have to wait until the 9999 goes away.

Easy sauce. Get rid of the bazar. Give us a full store. With all of items available. All at once. And make more DLC packs. That new bazar pack would have been perfect for a dlc. I hate the rotating bazar. I would much rather have a full store that I can browse and buy whatever I want whenever I want. As much or as little.

Well I’m here now :wink: On a more serious note, yes, we are evaluating all the feedback we receive and making changes and improvements based on it.
While things can’t change overnight, I can assure you that they will continue to do so, shaping the Conan Exiles experience.

There will be some good news regarding the Bazaar for Windows Store and EGS players coming in a couple of weeks.

Maybe there was some misunderstanding but the player community won’t be ignored. Most of the team will remain active as we have updates, content and events planned for the Exiled Lands this summer.

As for the official server performance issue. Could you please send me a DM with your server number and what you’ve experienced?
I can pass this over to the rest of the team for further investigation.

Can you let me know the server number so I can poke the team about this? :woman_bowing:

@Dana any update whatsoever for console? Anything? Any acknowledgement that we still exist at all? Are transfers even being looked at?

Yes. We are working on having that patch out as soon as possible.
It should be coming out in a couple of weeks if no blockers are found by the team :woman_bowing:

As for news regarding bringing Conan Exiles Enhanced to consoles, I haven’t gotten any new information on the topic.
I know it’s being discussed and evaluated internally so as soon as I know more, I will make a new announcement here on the forums.

You are doing a great job, on my experience the game improved a lot, im having a lot of fun running siptah, even i got it since i started the game i never played into because i dont wanted to create another char, now being able to use the same char without any worries about transfer was the most for me, despite the problems the positive side surpass it (personal experience). As siptah is a island having a small boat to hang around would make me never stop playing CEE, i still play twoworlds 2 because the boat rides lol
