I’ve been having the exact same issue & error message. Taken all the exact same steps, doing a clean reinstall now to see if it helps, about 2 hour wait time left. I had no issues playing before, was even running the game on ultra graphics with no slow down or lag. No mods.

Did you purchase Isle of Septah? I did not, and now I’m wondering if they made it a required DLC to play Conan Exiles at all.

I downloaded the update without having the DLC and was able to start the game normally. They never added such a restriction, which would most likely be illegal anyway.

UPDATE: I did a clean reinstall and the game is working again.  
My process:  
Go to `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common  
Then deleted the Conan Exiles folder completely and uninstalled from steam.  
I then installed again (took 4 hours) and the game works.
