Hey guys,
First I understand that the gauntlet without having access to Family Sharing that many are facing right now is stressful and totally sucks. However, the opinions of that decisions is not the purpose of this post. This post is meant to try and provide alternatives for immediate relief since we do not have a current ETA on when the decision will be reversed. The important part is that Family Sharing will return (per the announcement I’ve linked above) in the future. But until then, this is a post for, “what are our options until then?”
I am 100% ignorant when it comes to this stuff, so I’m going to be leaning on the community to fill this post with any and all possibilities known and not yet known.
- Green Man Gaming had a sale but it expired. I’ll monitor other legitament sites and add necessary links if I spot any other sales.
Note: I don’t really know how a second account works, I have just read a lot of people making a statement that “if I had known this decision was coming, I would have bought a second copy.” That is the purpose of the sale link.
Update: Mikey, a veteran Conan Exiles player who often has valuable insight, had this to say about purchasing another copy and it may be worth considering:
- The Pippi mod has some tools to allow players to hop out of clan and into another clan for building purposes. If you need help with this, here is Pippi’s discord where veteran Pippi users can surely offer advice with this.
Joshtech (Pippi author) told me about this one, I’ve never used it. So if somebody could reply to this thread on the steps necessary that would be great.
-
Ask private server admins to temporarily disable decay on their servers.
-
Possibly get in contact with the server owner for the “Exiled-RP” server. They use a mod and some sort of server script for character switching. Here’s the mod link.
Note: Character switching with a script and/or mod may only work if it’s on the same Steam Account. Again, count me as Mr. Ignorant, I’m just trying to post whatever options I’m hearing about. On that note, you may also try the Server Admin Discord to see if anybody has tricks up their sleeve there, though that’s obviously only going to be useful for server owners and admins.
If other options are presented, I’ll add to the list. Thanks for your help.
