First of all, thank you for the continued work on Conan Exiles Enhanced. We recently started a dedicated RP PvP server and wanted to share some feedback based on our experience so far.
One issue we noticed is related to the emote system. Currently, only the general DLC emote sets seem to appear, while many of the traditional/default emotes are missing or unavailable. Since we are building an RP-focused server, this has a pretty noticeable impact on immersion and player interaction. Emotes are a very important part of social RP communication, taverns, camps, meetings, and general world atmosphere.
Another major issue is the Tavern Barkeeper system. We tried multiple different setups:
with Ownership enabled and disabled
on foundations and directly on terrain
open layouts with easy navigation
server restarts and replacing the barkeeper
Unfortunately, visitor NPCs still never appear on our dedicated server, even though the system works correctly in singleplayer tests. Because of this, taverns currently feel incomplete for RP gameplay, which is unfortunate since the new Living Settlements features have huge potential for immersive communities and social hubs.
We also experienced some server lag and performance spikes at times, even with only around three players online. In fairness, overall stability is usually decent, but there are occasional heavy lag moments that feel unusual for such a low player count.
Despite these issues, we are hopeful about the direction of the update. The new systems have strong potential to create more living, social, and immersive servers, especially for RP communities. We really hope these features continue to improve because they could help bring more players together on long-term community servers.
Thank you for your work and for continuing to support the game.
I have the same issue, but in single player: Built two taverns, no guests even after many hours. Had a working tavern at the same spot in UE4, completely rebuild everything, still doesn’t work.
Check if you have the player building view range set to “cinematic” in the server settings (building tap irrc). I had that setting on and had stutters. I think it’s from the Isle of Siptah PvE siege castles.
Yeah, I noticed that as well. Seems like they’ve disappeared for some reason. I noticed the default ‘sleep on back’ emote is gone, thought it might come back when I picked up the other sleep emotes, but it didn’t. I’m not sure which others are missing (my memory is too hazy) - if you’ve noticed any specifics, let me know (once we’ve got a few examples, I’ll make a bug report to helpshift about it).
Edit: I’ve reported the missing emotes to Helpshift. I’ve also reported that everytime I restart in singleplayer I have lost all previously learned emotes found from exploring the world. If anyone else can confirm this is also happening to them, that would be great.
I also do not seem to have emotes on my private, g-portal hosted server. I have 3 RL friends playing with me, and they don’t seem to have any emotes either. I just gained a new one “Prayer to Hanuman” and that does not display when holding down “R” which is listed as “Emotes” in my controls. Seems a bug.
We kept the save game of our private server, and the barkeepers that where there before UE5 still work.
However i´ll made a new Tavern on Siptah after the server changed to enhanced and no guest appears.
So old barkeeper still get guest new ones dont.
For the emotes i just started to run around an collect them again (i dont mind) but i need to check if they are still there after server restart.
