I’d really like as many people as possible to speak up here about the server lag issues — maybe one day Funcom will actually notice it.
My group and I have been playing on a fresh official server since the very launch of the new servers, and there hasn’t been a single day without lag. The only time the game is even remotely playable is in the morning until around 3–4 PM And it’s not just me having problems — our whole group is, and some random players are complaining about it too, so it’s not an issue with our connection
What’s truly unbelievable is that this is an 8-year-old game, yet the official servers are still an absolute disaster to play on. Today we’re getting raided, and the game has been unplayable for over 2 hours. I can’t even open chests or doors. Killing my character doesn’t help, restarting the game doesn’t help — nothing helps.
At this point, I’m honestly exhausted with this game because of the state of the official servers. It’s a complete mess, and it feels like they’re doing absolutely nothing about it.
What is truly unbelievable is that this is an 8 year old game, with 8 years of collected bloat sitting on these servers in these massive bases and these innumerable body vaults and under-meshed stashes and whatnot, and you think that this is FUNCOM’S fault only. It is like you are incapable of comprehending responsibility for your own actions?
But I am sure THAT couldn’t be the cause could it?
So don’t play on official servers! There are NUMEROUS private servers out there. You are NOT required to play on official servers. If you are that dissatisfied with them, play elsewhere! No one is holding you hostage to the official servers that you hate so bloody much.
Here is an idea. How about your group get together and buy your own server (I would suggest NOT using G-Portal [yes there are other options] ) and you will be AMAZED at how fantastic the game runs. You can leave it set to official server settings to “keep the feel”, or you can even make things harder if you want. But you are NOT tethered to the official servers so stop acting as though you are.
Here’s a wild thought, just bear with me, how about funcom make sure Gportals servers are up to the task?
Or maybe Gportal put effort in to updating the servers when they are told they will need more ram for this new build?
You’re making calls based on what information?
One of the reasons MMOs; and Conan sort of is, is public servers. If funcom drops the public servers they would lose a massive majority of their players. Wouldn’t it be more profitable to fix the public server rather then lose players that wont go to private server?
Thing is, it’s not just Gportal. even private servers are having issues.
cant you read what he said at least? they play on fresh officiel since conan enhanced launch, so 1 week or 2, so all you say mean nothing, there isnt 8 years of collected bload and co… Its normal for a game to have official server who works, and this is not the case we conan exiles so player have the right to complain.

I mean, if that were really true, the new servers weren’t supposed to be as bad as they were on day one, just saying…
The community have supported this game for eight years; expecting the official servers to be at least ‘playable’ isn’t acting like a hostage—it’s called having basic standards as a consumer.
The ‘bloat’ you’re talking about is a direct result of the game’s design. If Funcom allows massive bases and body vaulting, it’s on them to provide servers that can actually handle the mechanics of their own game.
Expecting players to pay a monthly subscription for a private server just to have a lag-free experience is a joke. Some people just want to play the game they have already paid for without needing to “rent your own server” because officials run like shit
Here’s a thought. Funcom does not own G-Portal and cannot dictate to them how they run their craptastic service. Why they continue to use them on the other hand I cannot possibly answer. But Funcom is the client who is paying for a service from G-Portal, who is the provider. The client can REQUEST things, but they cannot “make sure” of anything because the provider is their own entity and they are the owner of the service being provided. Is that really difficult to understand?
That would be fantastic! Not convince them that they should do so. I mean, if they are making a profit providing sub-standard service then what exactly is their incentive? They do not care about their clients clients after all. They only care about their clients because those are the people paying them.
Who the heck ever said they should drop the public servers? I certainly never did!
Well Inflexion already has this being worked on. Because Funcom is not the ones working on this game asking Funcom is pointless. And you already know both of these points.
And you think that private servers do not use G-Portal? Some do not, and some do. I play one one which does not and it has zero lag issues.
So where’s your argument now?
And to all the others who clearly want to just cry about crap without actually reading get over yourselves. Inflexion is working on the issue with the servers but if you HATE the state of the official servers that much you have other options. You are not forced to use them. It is not that hard to comprehend. If you are offended by the concept of playing on a private server, then get over yourself. That’s a YOU issue, not a game issue. You have options, either use them for a better game experience or don’t. The choice is right there for you.
Brand new servers with enhanced , are having ping issues that proves the issue is not the databa bur the ability to properly communicate with the server
When server lags everyone is not moving much , be ause lf the lag , and the server is simply not respondíng
O ha e seen this game running with 8p plus players at once with a dedícate machine and there is no issues
Problem is gportal , people should never pay for gportal service.
I have noticed load tines are much higuera if you are in a mid size base , that was not the case with legacy, yet the issie of bad performance because of ammount of player connected simultaneously is ola ( 4 years in believe )
People were not noticing because servers earely had over 10 players at once , …
I have a thread open with issues and complaints about my private server - its on a dedicated machine in a data center, its the only server running on the entire box and it’s just horrendous, I’ve invested even more money trying to do what I can to make it as stable as possible but it’s just not a thing.
It is 100 % Funcom’s responsibility if G-Portal are not up to the standard of everyday multiplayer service. The customers of Funcom contracted with the company not with G-portal. A competent service provider must choose wisely with what tools they provide the services, independently if it is a taxi, molding machine, or a server…
The servers are sad and it is even a lottery to be able to access the server, they could make an official statement about it.
(If there is, I have not seen it,)
I think the thread is to express how horrible the official servers work, we could unite on this, I think it suits us all.
On private servers I don’t have an ongoing lag issue but what I do have is rubberbanding during combat. This is not new and they’ve had years to fix it. Stop the white knight horseshit.
It’s not only G-Portal servers. The lag affects every server if you want to have a decent population.
It’s their current implementation of what and how much gets replicated. Inflexion Games needs to clean up the mess and start using UE5 networking tools. But even with them we do not know if it’s even possible to fix the lag.
Yaaaaa but Gportal servers have always struggled with more then 20. They have always started lagging in the high teens. The servers having a 40 person limit has been a joke for so long it’s practically a meme.
26 people on the server right now. Battle was practically impossible at 21 but you could get on. Janked a spell effect locked in and could not stop the sound and pink swirls of the detect resources spell, had to log out. At 376 ping I wont be logging back in, I’m done for the evening and off to do pubg dailies.
Imagine what the player count would be if the servers COULD actually how 40 players with out issue.
No, not all the issues are the Gportal servers, but them being crap from the get go just amplified the issue.
There are NUMEROUS private servers out there. You are NOT required to play on official servers. If you are that dissatisfied with them, play elsewhere! 
No one is holding you hostage to the official servers that you hate so bloody much.
