Game session crashes and won't boot up due to "running out of memory" after freeing a caged thrall

Bug:
My game crashes every time I try to reboot my new singleplayer session. It says it ran out of memory but it has less assets than my other session. My other session works just fine. I kinda need this new session because i was recording most of it for youtube.

Character name and level: Csenge, lvl 37

Steps I took before getting the bug:

  • I wiped out Thugra’s stand
  • mined some coal and iron nodes there,
  • freed a tier 2 taskmaster from the cage,
  • dressed her in gear I took from the dead Darfari,
  • decided to go home but I could only have one thrall so I ran forward with her while leaving my original thrall in the back,
  • told her to stop following ibetween 2 darfari camps where thralls can’t be placed but can stay as long as you tell them to stop following you there,
  • went back for my thrall who followed me just fine
  • my original thrall worked just fine but the new thrall kept showing “Stop following” despite not following me.
  • I tried to quit and relog to fix it.

Thanks for reporting here - have you also reported to helpshift? That is where bug reports for CEE are supposed to go so they can be seen more quickly by the devs Contact Us — Conan Exiles Help Center

I did a few hours age after you pointed it out. Now I’m waiting for a reply.

Can’t guarantee that you’ll get a reply - bug reports usually don’t (unless you entered it under a different category, you’ll probably just get the generic acknowledgment email), but it all gives the devs more chance of getting it fixed sooner.

For tickets in general I saw a claim that they are currently about a month and a half behind in dealing with the backlog (though I know that some bug fixes have arrived within a week of reporting, so I think there’s multiple systems going on (or the person making the ‘month and a half’ claim might have just been making it up…)).

Hoping for a fix still…

Come on!

Video card running out of memory???

What’s your system specs?

What version of this game are you playing?

I’m running enhanced. Here’s the thing: I have two sessions, one of them is working just fine, the other crashes when I try to load the world up. I think you’re missing the important point. This is absolutely a bug issue.

I think you’ll notice a few significant differences. Yours seems to be lacking in meeting the requirements. Specifically in two key areas.
