Same here i get to the mod page it checks them and all ok then it restarts like normal then soon as i log in or a few seconds later screen goes black and a pop up says Fatal Error! With research and friends help its caused by a file that stops us Oh yeaaaa but now the file is hidden SOOO we now have to wait for Funcom to find a fix to put in the next update But there’s no info when that will happen. As said in this post Above [Dana] Community [3d]

Greetings Everyone,

We are sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with launching the game.

One workaround is to make sure you install Conan Exiles on your C drive.  
We are also working on our next game update that will hopefully help resolve this issue once the game is updated.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Soo i’m paying for 3 conan private servers that are un playable LOL ahhh the joys of loving the world of Gaming Hang in there my friendly gamers

Sounds like an outdated mod. Post your mod list. Maybe we can spot which mod is causing the issue for you.

I own conan exiles on Steam and I have been getting intermittent “fatal error” when logging into the game. As of yesterday, I am no longer able to log into Conan Exiles as the fatal error is persistent. I have updated my nvidia drivers, I uninstalled GE Force experience. I uninstalled Conan Exiles and reinstalled it. I have disabled mods and then reenabled them. I play on a private server and everyone else on the server is able to log in fine with mods enabled and everything. The problem seems to only be on my PC. Help?

No problem, other than I have a 48 in curved monitor and screen shots usually turn out too small for most pcs to view. When you say screenshot of the launcher, which part exactly? 😬

Can you connect to the server if you remove all the mods from the selected session and let the mod mismatch sort it for you? Next, you can also trying reinstalling the mods in case you got a corrupted pak or something.

I removed all the mods, completely and launched the game. I let the mod mismatch sort it and reinstall the mods, the game restarted and the fatal error persisted. I launched the game on my wife’s laptop without issue. I have spoken to two others on the server and they can log into it without problem as well.

Here’s an interesting update… My wife logged into the game on her computer and went to visit my main base, where my character is currently logged out in. When she got close to my base, HER COMPUTER got the “fatal error”! She could log back in, but anytime she would turn her character to face my base, she would fatal error.

Any suggestions? I don’t know how to get my character out of my base, but it definitely appears that the “fatal error” issue is related to my base. I have two surge thralls there, and the rest are bench thralls, 1 horse, 2 shaggi-thingies and 1 rhino. Anyone have an idea as to what could be going on?
