Conan Exiles Enhanced... So many issues

Conan Exiles General Discussion
1

Where to start… So many things are flat out broken with this update. Sure, it is a beautiful world now, but a pretty face on a broken world doesn’t make the game any better.

Let’s start with servers:

Servers that used to have ping times in the 30-60s are now 200-500 ping. All of my servers that are West coast are peaking at 300+. That means I cannot play me characters on those servers.

Decay timers are back on. 20 days. If ping timers can’t be resolved. That is a loss of progress waiting to happen.

The lowest ping is a PVP server at 150ish. Even if I scrap 8 years of gameplay for a new character, PVP at 150 ping is just going to be a frustrating stutter fest.

Bazaar Items

Now I have to unlock my already purchased Bazaar item knowledges. Which… I cannot unlock them. Even with my character having 2500+ knowledge points, and the ancient knowledge only costing 0 per item. I cannot unlock them. Also… it’s super stupid that I would have to unlock each of them individually.

Global lighting

Torches shed zero light, yet retained all of their lag… Seriously… The second I get near a base trying to compensate, I’m rubberbanding like a fool on crack.

Obelisks

Probably couldn’t avoid it on a server database “save” but why on earth didn’t our attunements save? Everyone on the server I was able to play on for a hot minute were all running around getting their attunements again. Big waste of time.

Siptah

The NPC to get to Siptah is not in game… Soooooooooooooooooo… WTF?

Thrall pathing.

Thralls sent into combat path like they’re drunk. They sit around and wait between swings. Combat is no longer fluid. I literally have to tell them to attack every single target now. They rarely act on their own.

Old bugs got worse

Dragons in Walls. Dragons pushing thralls into the ground. Thralls in the ground just staring up while the dragon in the wall kills them. Thralls not returning on return commands, etc, etc, etc…

Otherwise, the game looks amazing.

I am on the US East coast, and all my servers (1940, 1517, 1518, 1818, 1819) and servers my Siptah characters have with merged have pings over 150.

My Favorite server list is a mess. I went from 6 servers to too many to count to servers that I have never placed on Favorite.

I hope this will get fixed soon. The longer it goes, the harder it will be to reclaim building sites I had on Siptah servers.

i find that if you select the following:

Connectivity : Offical
Combat Mode: PVE or PVP watever your server is
Region: (EU, America - where ever you live

Wait for the “searching..” to stop, type in your server number under “Server Name” then click “Refresh”, and then just keep pressing “refresh” when the searching has finished till you get the ping to under 200. Normally takes me about 2-3 tries

I get disconnected every time I do get in after about 10 minutes of play. They also reduced the threshold for “bad ping” to 200 from 300. Even joined a new server with 100 ping and was disconnected from it. Tried to get back in the same server and it jumped to 200+.

I found mine in Sep near the bar outside.

There are two more along Noob river? Didnt check those yet

6

I found him in Sepermaru finally. The one I knew of on noob river was not there when I checked on him first

7

In addition the transport stone works from EL to IOS - its glorious.

At least you can get into the game. I was on the playtest and the game ran great. I didn’t have to update anything. My GTX 1070 ran the game on the lower graphics settings, but it RAN. And it looked great. Now with the official release, I get this error message that my video driver has known issues with D3D 12.

Oh, really? Never seemed to be an issue before, and definitely wasn’t a problem during the playtest. The highest I can update the driver doesn’t help. The game wants driver version 596.whatever, and the highest I can go is 582.something. Doesn’t matter, game still not running. I was at 551.xx during the playtest, and every other game runs fine on that older driver.

I can’t click to bypass the opening video, and after the video ends it goes to a black screen and stays there. My next step is to uninstall all the mods and totally nuke the installation and start over, and hopefully back up my legacy UE4 version playthrough.

where abouts?

10

I wanna say thank you to all the Steam Players for playing through all the major bugs before they, hopefully, port it to console.

:saluting_face: your hard work and dedication doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you

11

Yup, this is the bit people forget about when they complain about not getting an update - all the chaos, lol.

No question I want all the other platforms to get access to the update (once it’s working properly), but I’ve got to admit, the current s***storm definitely supports the ‘not wanting to waste money on having to do multiple runs at certification until it’s properly fixed’ theory.

12

They did an amazing job with the UE5 update. CE is a beautiful game as is in UE4 on console, even in performance mode.

After seeing live streams of the UE5 remake, (mind you, of a game that came out in 2017) it literally is a completely different game from where it started.

The graphics are absolutely astonishing! I’m so excited for when they port it to console.

13

The fact that all my keybindings were gone is the issue I’m most pissed off at. That and the servers I play having pings way to high for me to join any of them.

14

Yeah, I’m trying to remember all my keybindings and settings, lol. Is what it is, in the long run it’ll just be a blip. Bit of a pain right now, of course…

15

I’d like to add a couple small things to the OP’s list:

My EL character somehow forgot all emotes :smiley:

All weapons and tools (not armor) lost their fittings.

When i equip the building hammer, it lags quite a bit probably as it’s looking through all the chests it can access(?)

Opening inventory lags my game too. Could be hw issue, idk.

Ping was 400+ until much later. I couldn’t get on official server. I think that’s not a problem anymore.

NPC’s as part of LS have a hard time pathing. Buuut it looks like they finally respect locked doors (probably).

Enemies are spazzing out and generally lagging around. This wasn’t a consistent problem today though. Maybe server lag(?)

Tier 4 enemies are harder to identify. The bright yellow frame they used to have is now nice and golden, but kind of blends in with everything.

Similarly, gear that has been fitted with modifications no longer has the magenta background. There’s a small icon that blends in with the item art quite a bit.

…

However, i expected absolute hell. Missing thralls, missing items, half broken houses. Tbh i didn’t even expect the game to run on my device at all. Meanwhile it has a pretty decent performance on High preset. This is obviously individual, but i’m surprised.

Also, while the game has changed a lot graphically, it still has the visual style it always had. It has the atmosphere and feel that i was frankly afraid that it would lose. It is a faithful port, unfortunately with some issues it’s inherited.

I like the small added details like sound and particle effect when picking up small stones and twigs. Bushes that can be harvested are no longer completely static, they wobble slightly as you move through them.

Don’t you think the Noob river is a bit too wild now (rather big waves)?

16

You forgot 1 thing, not even an apology from funcom.

not a update whats going on , nothing…

17

I encountered this alot myself, this was common place a few years ago and i really hated it, now its back and im not too happy about it, on the bright side re-attuning to the obelisks was pretty easy since the enemies were disappearing and reapearing or not even noticing me at all or just running in place or just spinning in place, especially the deep jungle obelisk the new UE5 graphics makes the jungle even more of a nightmare maze, took me bout an hour to find it, i agro’d every snake, spider, croc and bird as i searched but all they did was roar and blinked in and out of existence.

18

Historically, Console had their ow unique bug list and don’t even get a play test.

19

GRAPHICS FOR THE MOST PART GOT ENHANCED

LAG GOT EXTREMELY ENHANCED IN A BAD WAY. GAME IS UNPLAYABLE , YOU CANT EVEN LOG IN., loooong load screen…

20

my character didnt even migrate over, the one promise they made for everyone didnt happen for everyone
