Conan exiles is "the island of Dr. Moreau" of the gaming industry

I know it’s a video about a movie that has nothing to do with conan. But it cold be the only explanation how funcom is able to screw up so badly!
Who knows what’s going on in funcoms office :thinking:

I honestly think the development of CE suffers at least one, or even more of the same issues this movie production had.

I wonder what is people talking about when they say things like that.

First problem is: The majority of the problems people complain about are related either to problems with their system, or problem with the behavior of other players in Official servers, which are both not problems with the game.

A whole lot of us has no problem at all with the game, because we play it in computers, not consoles, minimally cared for so it runs the game ok.

Mod problems are not problems with the game either.

Having played almost all games that could be remotely similar to Conan Exiles, I havent seen one that is both better than Conan Exiles and has less bugs than Conan Exiles.

MMORPGs are another issue entirely, but if I were hardpressed to choose between playing any MMO or Conan Exiles, by virtue of not being an MMO already I would pick Conan Exiles. Otherwise, there are almost no games of the same nature that are more stable or fun to play.

Depends. The last patch had some issues that was on FC that was causing issues with mods, but they were quickly hotfixed in the devkit.

Any issues on consoles need to be addressed and prioritized since those players simply cannot change their systems very easily. It would be different if purchasing a copy on one platform gave you access to all platforms. That is something I think should be considered, some way to migrate one’s account and purchases from console to PC would be great for those wishing to get the full CE experience.

Because lets face it, Console players pay more than Steam players. To play the game with two major features missing:

Modding
Choice of 3rd Party Server hosts.

Console players pay $50 to not have those two features. Steam players pay $40 to get everything console players get, plus those two features.

I gave Funcom $10 less than a console player for access to thousands of great mods and communities. They have reason to complain when the game doesn’t work as it should simply because its on a box under their TV. They paid $10 more for the privilege of having that hassle.

Doesn’t matter on what platform you play, if you buy a game it should work!
I‘m not stupid, a pc will always outperform any console, but it has to work at least.
And i read the pc, the x-box and PlayStation threads, many people have issues across all platforms.
Not to mention the balancing, the bugs and weird creative decisions. Like changing established mechanics over and over again to create the illusion of new content. And that over priced bazar :triumph:
The dlc‘s have been worth it. The BP is ok… but 1765 coins for a throne room?!

Anyways, if it works on your end i‘m happy for you, Enjoy it!

If for you conan, exiles no problem, then we do not play the same game !!

Nerf ewcessive, rehearsal bug, mechanics of the games changed without reasons which makes certain sides of the games obsolete.
On the last maj, impossibility for some to connect, crash, latte, etc … for the verified Just browse it for forum pages. I don’t think our exiled friends come here just for the pleasure of complaining.

Exactly, i don’t want to rant, in fact that is the first time i rant online about something. Beleve it or not😅
But i bought that game 2018, we all had a lot of pacience, but after 5 years it’s still a buggy laggy mess.

Mod problems are not game problems. You cannot say that a problem that only arises when a mod is using something is a game problem. That in general has to do with lack of skill in the mod development, but ALWAYS has to do with using something without proper knowledge of it. And that is almost always misunderstood.

I for example have decades of knowledge and work in the development of software. I know how to handle C programming in almost any way there is a “formal course” to teach. I am experienced in Unreal Engine development since it is around to the public. Still, I am also required to know not only some stuff particular to the devkit, but also many things in the design decisions of philosophy of those who developed the game in order to say I dont lack any knowledge and the game is the problem, not my mod.

Lack of knowledge is not a “offense”, or a “defect”, it is just a circunstance. And any game that works by itself, but a mod causes a problem, the problem is the mod. No matter if it triggers something that wasnt made to be used that way, it is not the game’s fault you using something in your mod in a way devs did not accounted to be used in that way. You probably wont find any game short of the blocking use ones that account for all the ways something can be used and cause problems.

The only responsibility the game devs have is to make game work in itself, and if it supports mods, not intentionally create a problem for its modding. All problems that a mod cause in a game are solely the problem of the mod developer. Always.

Something I’m fond of telling people is the only thing more annoying than an entitled player is an entitled modder.

I‘m not even playin on pc i‘m on console, it doesn’t have anything to do with mods or the platform you play on in general.
Funcom is just not able to get it workin.

I‘m honestly happy for everyone who doesn’t suffer such issues. I‘m not kidding. :pleading_face:

But what you read in this forum is mindblowing! :exploding_head:

years of development and and the game still has the same issues it had when it was released.

Like once in a year i restart playing it and hope this time we don’t have gamebreaking stuff, or the game will at least be able to save my solo game. Because in long term i wanted to start pvp, but not completely unprepared.

But again my save game is fu**ed.

I simply can’t understand what is going on in funcoms office, that’s why i compared CE to this movie and its difficult shooting conditions.

• Is it greed of the company?
• Are those poor developers forced to work under impossible conditions?
• Are there conflicting ideas or clashing egos about the direction the game should head into?
• Or are they just incompetent?

— Or is it all of those problems? —

I guess it’s the worst case and it is everything combined!

And that is so sad, because the concept is great.
I have the game since release but all hope i had for this game is gone.

And before anyone comes up with BS like:
“Play on pc then”

No! We all payed for it, no matter the platform!
GTA5 worked even on ps3!!!

Fuc*ing hell man

All my other games run perfectly smooth, only CE has so many issues :man_shrugging:
