Game Wont Launch

Game mode: Just Trying to load game
Type of issue: Game wont launch
Region: *USA
Mods?: No
Edition: Steam

Bug Description:

I bought my wife a new pc and installed steam and Conan. The Funcom launcher starts. I hit launch game. It doesn’t do anything and the Funcom launcher closes and goes back to steam. No error message or anything. just flat out wont load.
This a brand new pc
PC Specs: Alienware
Processor = 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i5-11400F @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
Ram = 16GB
Video card = NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
Security = Norton 360
Windows 10

Steps I have tried already:

  • Uninstall and reinstall Conan Exiles 3 times
  • Uninstall and reinstall Steam 3 times
  • Turned off all firewalls and security. then tried launching it with no luck
  • made sure all devices and drivers are up to date.
  • Tried launching it strat from the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Binaries\Win64\ConanSandbox_BE. This does nothing at all.
  • have found no help on the online and I am at a loss as this is a brand new PC and we had no problems on the old PC which was also a windows 10 alienware. this new one just has a better video card and an SSD drive with more hard drive space.

Please help .

Have you tried the workaround for 11th gen CPUs from the pinned thread?

Take a look at this tread, and see if it’s a solution for you.

I did try this and still no change. Game never launches

Hi @haggis, welcome to the forums.

This issue is likely related to the OpenSSL crash, which we’ve addressed internally and for which we will be releasing a fix in the upcoming patch.

It’s unfortunate that the workaround didn’t help, but it might be worth ensuring that all your Intel drivers are updated by running their driver support assistant, in case you haven’t already.
