I was disconnected from the game and cannot reconnect. It simply says “Connection Failure - could not connect to server”. The server has a low ping and over a dozen people online. I do not konw why I cannot “Join”.

I had the exact same thing just happen to me with this server (Official server #1738), although now it seems to have disappeared from the server list entirely.

Edit: Actually nvm, mine connects now!

It appears the server was gradually crashing and keeping people out while it happened.

Yes, it appears without warning or explanation (again) our dear friends are taking servers offline. you can look up your server here: [Conan Exiles Server List - Filter and search all servers - BattleMetrics](https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/conanexiles) with your server number and see if it’s down. At that site you can also see the IP of the server. Try using it to Direct Connect to the server, sometimes that has worked for some people. Grok says this is a know issue right now and is frustrating a lot of people, ““Look! We have a new enhanced version BUT we want it to be a total failure by fouling up the servers so all the new players will quit!””
