Game mode: all
Type of issue: Crash?
Server type: None
Region: United States
Mods?: No
Edition: Steam

Bug Description:

When launching the game from steam, It says syncing cloud files, then the Funcom launcher loading screen appears for about half a second, then disappears. Then on steam and on task manager it shows the game is no longer running, with no crash report or anything. I have tried uninstalling, verifying, deleting files then verifying, reinstalling C++, putting in the exception from the Recent Critical Issues thread, and nothing has worked. I think it might have to do with the Cloud files but I have no clue, due to that being the only thing consistently showing up when the game launches, but i have no clue. It was not the first time installing or playing the game, as I played about half a year ago and just reinstalled it.

System:
GPU- AMD Radeon R9 390
CPU- I5-4460
Windows 10, all drivers fully updated.

Steps to Reproduce:

Happens on attempting to run the game.

2

Allowed the game under randsomware protection?

3

Did not do anything, also tried by turning off windows defender and also did not work.

4

What Windows do you have?

5

Windows 10, fully updated

Well i readed, writed , then figured ‘‘cache’’ is like by verifying, figured u did this…

Its just guess and very stupid one… Because u say u fully updated windows 10… from my exp, win update time ago killled my laptop literary … but about ur case, can u try to start game in safe mode? dunno if its now still possible , but time ago it was possible to start games in safemode i think it was ‘’ -safe ‘’ in launch options on steam… if u can then u may have some software issue ( for me it was antivirus :smiley: )

@_frordo Have you tried running CE directly from the Steam folder?
Default path:
C:\SteamGames\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Binaries\Win64
Launch the ConanSandbox_BE .exe located there.

Circumvents the launcher, let us know if that worked or if the problem persists.

This part confuses me though, to my knowledge CE doesn’t have a cloud save option?

I have tried that, both launching directly or launching the funcom launcher, first just had an error, second had the same issue as launching from steam. I mistyped as well, it says “Synchronizing steam cloud”.

It finally launched. Apparently there was a windows update or something that it was not telling me about (Even though I checked multiple times), because once I updated my windows the game worked.
