Still not Working. I’m dead in the water.

It doesn’t save ANY time, it takes just as long, if not longer.
Please don’t add ‘mandatory’ nonsense like this, and go back and make it something we can opt out of.

Wanna bet that Seska’s reply is going to receive more likes then the topic creator? 
Hi,
I’m having the exact same problem as Ashawna, but for me verifying the integrity of files didn’t help.
I get the same error launching from the .exe in the “common” folder:
steamapps\common\ConanExiles\ConanSanbox\Binaries\ConanSandbox-Win64-Test.exe
CreateProcess() returned 2
However, I can launch from the .exe in the binaries folder (directly).
I did try replacing the .exe in \common with the one from \binaries just to see if that would do anything, but it didn’t solve anything.
Also, I wasn’t able to see a number of my mods in the launcher.
-
I unsubbed and resubbed the missing ones, no difference.
-
I then unsubbed ALL my mods in steam. Closed out of steam. Confirmed all mods were removed from the launcher. Then closed launcher, restarted steam, resubbed to my mods, restarted the launcher. This time all my mods were there correctly.
Doesn’t seem related to the .exe/launch issue but thought it might be useful to know.
Good luck,
KveldUlf

I’ve had issues with that for 2+ years. That’s not unusual either for some Steam games. Bin folder has been my go-to for that entire time. I use the same strategies with dozens of other Steam based games. Pretty standard stuff.
Just create a shortcut from the bin and put it wherever is convenient for you.

This appears to be related to whether your modlist.txt uses local or universal paths for the mods. We’re looking at having that addressed as soon as possible.

I’m having the same problem as TheGamingGinger the launcher starts after clicking the shortcut The Funcom launcher pops up no scroll bar so I can’t scroll down to get to continue or launch I can’t even see the pictures because I can’t scroll down & I’ve already verified the game files to see if that would fix it I was playing Solo until 8:30 am eastern logged for 15mins Went to log Back in & all this Funcom Launcher stuff started popping up been messing with it since thought changing the screen resolution would fix this it did make it so i could see a quarter of the pictures below but still no scroll bar to launch the game or continue

The funny part about this is that there are more reply’s from Funcom in this one topic than in any 10 about game bugs put together…

LoL I keep hoping so…
Updated my post above as I pointed to the wrong folder. If you run into issues with launching the game via the launcher (or running the launcher in the first place), please try running the .exe in the relevant \steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Binaries\ subfolder.
And for any ongoing issue, please consider sending me a DM with a description of what happens along with the logs from %APPDATA%\FuncomLauncher\logs and the modlist.txt file.

Why?!
People have been upset about extra launchers for years and what are you doing? Patch a launcher afterwards?
Not only that you now click instead of steam → conan. Now I have to go through steam → conan → launcher because confirming that I want to play is obviously not enough?
Then the launcher is still running in the background and what exactly does it do? Besides using extra RAM?
Apart from that, I no longer get to the settings, which I have to set to min so that I can even get into the game and then set everything to ultra again - so far this has only been fiddling but now I can try to break off the modlist quickly enough to come back to the options, since it wants to throw me directly into the game.
With all the problems and bugs now something like that …

New to forums, not sure how to DM. Made an account because I needed support with this issue lol. That worked it seems, but it didn’t launch the launcher, which defeats the purpose of the update right? is it possible to have a patch to fix this issue soon?

Can we get an option to skip this when launching from steam? Just a simple opt-out will do. I don’t need a launcher in a launcher.

BIG PROBLEM.
I appreciate the ability to edit a Modlist outside of Conan. However, the launcher doesn’t scale properly on either of my displays, and additionally does not appear to be resizable. I therefore cannot click on either the “Launch” nor the “Continue” button and since the launcher opens when you hit “Play” on steam… I can no longer launch Conan Exiles through steam…at all.
Unless I navigate to the install directory and manually launch the game. and I haven’t tried that yet.
So I realize a lot of you want to just play the game without having to go through some additional interface that can splash marketing at you. I think that is ideal, right? Wouldn’t it be great if we could use the internet, without a bunch of paywalls and ads getting our our faces? But for the companies that have a large portfolio of games, it is proving to be a successful practice to do this, so we will just have to deal with it. Sure, you can quit and spend your money elsewhere, but is it such a big deal to just click the button and get on with the game?
If it isn’t working, they (community and Funcom) have posted methods to work around it. Bugs will get fixed (most likely) and life goes on. It may be a love/hate relationship, but like choosing a life partner, do you break it off when you find out they snore or like Justin Bieber? Just spend some time with them and maybe learn to adapt to the snores and… well, if they like JB, I guess you can dump them.

This right here. Launcher doesn’t scale properly and stops people from easily launching the game. Please disable until it’s fixed or let us opt out of seeing your launcher. As a game dev, I understand why the industry has gone to launchers… but please don’t force a launcher on us that’s in Beta. Very disappointed with this change because A) Breaks my flow to login to the game, B) no warning, and C) horrible user experience.
Players shouldn’t have to work around a broken launcher to play your game.

So I know why the launcher doesn’t work on linux, and may be related to the launcher not working for people on other platforms

When assembling the path to launch the game the last letter of the steam app part of the path is trimmed. “Conan Exiles” becomes “Conan Exile” and “Conan Exiles - Testlive Client” becomes “Conan Exiles - Testlive Clien”. Probably expects a trailing slash and always removes it, except depending on platform the value returned seems to already have the trailing slash removed.
Other Feedback: You can no longer connect to a server via steam://connect urls, which is a marginal inconvenience.
