Game refuses to load past beginning cutscene

Hey so I’ve been attempting to play Conan all day and getting nowhere. Everytime I start it up it gets to the cutscenes and refuses to go any further. I have three little dots in the bottom corner for loading that refuse to go away, the Audio is about 2 seconds behind the scene I’m watching, it will freeze intermittently, and IF the cutscenes finishes it just boots me back to the Xbox dashboard. I never had this problem until after the chapter 3 update. Help?

How to reproduce the issue: Have base game, Isle of Siptah, and regional DLC installed. Attempt to start game. Never make it to the menu.

I’ve had this issue since the update for chapter 3.

Greetings @Asta-of-the-ice!

Thank you for your report.

Regarding the situation at hand, does this happen when trying to play online or singleplayer?

I have it too. I am on Playstation and it doesn’t matter if online or offline playing after this, it’s the intro. I don’t test it with unplugged Ethernet.

it’s the opening cutscene, before the main menu is even loaded.

i have this issue on ps4, the only time the citscene can be skipped is about 1/2 way through because the stutter is so bad it’s like the game is having a stroke

I am having similar issues with the cut scene (Conan cutting you down from the cross). The cut scene skips parts, freezes etc as described by others.

Neither, I can’t reach the main menu

Hey just checking in because I still can’t play and my post is about to expire. Has anyone found a solution to my problem? I plan to just re up this post every couple of days until I get an answer.

Greetings Exiles,

Thank you for bringing our attention to this! I’ve passed this information over to the rest of the team so we can investigate it even further.

I tryed too play on official pve conflict server on x box sires x siptha 7020 and exil server 2020 both eu the loading screen never ends on both servers singelplayer is working

Hey I am still having this issue and I did really enjoy playing this game with friends. Can i please get an actually solution. I’ve left Y’all for a year to “work on it”… I even bought DLC for this game and it’s been unplayable for more than a year now. Please.

Got to praise your commitment, but this sounds like an individual issue. I would suggest filing a bug report.

Yep sounds like classic conan exiles. My intro bit is still jumpy and stuttery and is unskippable but it eventually gets there. My one crashes on the next load screen. You’re still on the sub-boss :smiley: got to love how they reported it and were looking into it a year ago and still no response. These forums don’t work, it’s just a place for other frustrated folk to join together in complaining about all the things wrong with the game and there’s so much wrong with it. If they do get back it’ll be to say to hard reset the console or clear memory cache or reset your internet and none of these things will work, i’ve tried it for several different bugs in the game and it either doesn’t work or it’ll work for 5 mins then crash. Funcom sucks

i have the same problem on a steam download
no mods installed and i disinstalled and deleted all the steam files related to exiles

So this is now the SECOND YEAR of not being able to play this game. I love this game and have a physical copy of it (the DAY ONE edition), Funcom please help me. I cannot play it at all. The only good news is that the game now loads past the cutscene. it goes to the main menu and no further. Access to Online play? nope. Singleplayer? nada. Settings!? nein. Every single button on the main menu sends me back to xbox home menu. I beg of thee, please help me. I have been EXTREMELY patient and unfortunately that patience is running thin.
