Figured out how to play offline

Seems like not a lot of people know how this works.

  1. Create a new save/character while you are online. Save it.
  2. Exit.
  3. Turn Steam to offline and plug out your lan cable.
  4. Press play again.
  5. In the game menu press continue.
  6. Play offline.

The way how this works is that the funcom logs your save file data and marks it “validated” while you are online so it knows you are authorized to play the game. Once you have that validation on your save file, game will let you play offline.

However if you try to start a brand new game without a previous online save, game wont let you play it offline since it has no way of knowing if you are “authorized” to play the game.

I dont know if funcom will patch this out as well but for now, this is the only way I know how. You might want to override your online save file once you go offline since overriding your online save with your new offline save will prevent your settings rolling back to default value.

This is why some people said it worked offline and others couldnt. The only thing you have to do is to get that validation marked on your save file while you are online and after that you can play offline.

I am sure this can help some of our friends. Thank you. Console player myself if we could make a good offline save

:frowning: am aware that for console players offline feature is fully functional. Unfortunately, on pc, it is not the case. There are several annoying features for pc players…The infamous funcom launcher…and not to mention the battle eye that seems to install itself when pressed “uninstall”. I can’t speak for others but for me at least, I would like to have a piece of mind that I can play this game even when I don’t have good internet connection. Not everyone gets the internet connection on daily basis…:frowning:

I’m pretty sure it’s not actually on the save file itself, but in the Game.ini file, under the [FuncomLineServices] section. There should be one or more CachedUsers keys in there, with cached user tokens from FLS.

That said, thank you for this post. I’ll try to figure out if I can add a feature to BUGLE to make this process less painful.

Thank you! You are THE DEV! I have never thought I would actually get a reply! I thank you for replying. Full offline feature would be very helpful and it would be the only and the last thing I ask for this game! Thank you thank you♡

Hey, um, I’m sorry, but I think you might have misunderstood.

I’m not one of the Funcom developers. I’m just another player who happens to know how to code, so I made an alternate launcher for Conan Exiles, because I didn’t like Funcom Launcher.

As such, I can’t add any features to Conan Exiles itself, but what I can try is to make the process you describe easier for people who want to use my launcher.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Its alright. You may not be the funcom dev but a dev none the less! I hope your launcher succeeds on implementing the offline feature fully! When it does I will be more thab happy to get ur launcher and try it out!
