Yea I figured it wouldn’t be the case, like I said above

If you had any issues on your end you would have been aware of those even without tests 🙂

Just for clarity’s sake though, this is still not a crash (referring to it as such, might confuse people as you’ve seen above).  
Crash would be an unhandled error pretty much terminating the program instantly like a memory access violation, this is very much handled as you’re getting an ingame notification that you disconnected.  
This is essentially being disconnected / kicked off the server.

I’m not sure that this is actually related though.  
Things in Conan Exiles utilize an AILOD component. What this does is that based on LOD as being observed through any player, the AI will be completely suspended for most things when they go beyond their highest LOD setting.  
In other words the AI stops working if there’s nobody around to observe it.  
So what you’re experiencing could be that due to the nature of the sudden disconnect, it doesn’t switch back on properly when you get back in or it would take a bit longer, but most likely related to this function somehow.

Well, not much I can help with this sadly 😃 Initially when I thought it was the game crashing I hoped that I could help get to the bottom of it, but there’s really not much we can do about this here except speculate about the cause, which will still not fix it unfortunately.

Anyway, good luck! Hopefully this gets improved soon.
