It would appear that Conan Exiles is patching. However - there were no official communications to make the player community ready to receive this patching.
While I would like to say that I think we have all been VERY EAGER to get a hotfix for many of the Living Settlement issues - it is unkind and irresponsible to push SURPRISE patching to your platform.
Please, please, PLEASE. You have GOT to get better at communicating with us. Please stop shooting from the hip like this.
Private server owners may have wished to take backups before the patch. Others may have wanted to try out the patch in sandbox before committing it. There are a lot of reasons why it is CRITICAL to communicate with us about stuff like this. This is not a joking matter.
If you genuinely wish to get better about communications - then start holding yourselves accountable for bungles like this. Someone needs to receive their lashings. And someone needs to come out here and tell us why, exactly, you made the decision to spring this on us without any comms at all.
I want you to win, Funcom. But today - this effort is not a “winning” effort. Please.
I also host this game on a private server. I agree that 100% communication is a MUST. I am disappointed that nothing was explained about this before vomiting it out onto all of us.
Glad I have my servers hosted where I control when patches/updates/hotfixes get installed - and that we can do the ol’ backups, etc. I guess some host companies don’t have that?
Well if it’s any consolation some small bugs seem to have been worked on, if not totally fixed.
And a check on both Siptah and EL Server Logs indicate no thrall deaths, no placeables lost stability, nothing deleted or disappeared. So that’s progress compared to previous patches.
What I don’t understand is for example the oft-reported missing Drowned Vault armours. They have now been re-enabled and are visible in the crafting menu… but now you are “Unable to start crafting” because it seems they messed up some kindof DLC permissions tags on them.
And the part that I don’t understand is: does noone test these patches? Because I found this out literally 10 seconds after logging in. So if Drowned Vault armors were in the “todo list” for the patch, did noone think to actually log in and try making them?
Oh for the love of Set, I do not want my thralls wandering all over hell. I’m going to end up with an empty deserted work room. Just how it that lively?
my dedicated private server is no longer reachable on my LAN but it was prior to the update.
Attempts to restart don’t seem to restart it. so I have to quit or restart the comp that its on. But it is still not showing on my LAN list.
I am on v 1.7.9
and it was running prior to the update.
Just finished downloading the patch. Thrall Taker journey still busted - because of the new mechanics cannot assign a craft thrall to a workstation after you have “placed them in the world”… Wee!
It’s the shame of doing things in a mediocre way that prevents them from showing their faces towards the community. I am still waiting for an explanation on the scam thing related to the corynthian library set items.
I have and unfortunately there’s no connection. I think its mod based so I’ll just wait for the modders to update things. I hope its mod based at least. Hate to think something is wrong with the dedicated private server version.
My Server can’t be reached anymore after the update. It looks like all data is lost and also an old backup brings the same result. The Server can’t be opened.
