Is it normal that the GPU usage is always between 75%-90% and 70°C? No difference between Medium or Highest Settings. My video card (GTX 1070) and my whole rig is cleaned and dust free.
Conan Exiles is the only game with this “issue”. No problems with Battlefield V or The Division 2.
This is not normal at all.
Like you, this game overtaxes my system and everyone’s I game with. We can play any other game we have on ultra settings and have zero issues. With Conan Exiles, like you’ve described, on full settings the temps can exceed 70 c and GPU usage pegs out on higher end rigs that should be swallowing this game whole.
And, as you say, the video settings make little to no difference in the GPU usage, temps, or the ever present stutter in the game whether the vid setting are lowest to highest. I’ve tried them all.
I and many others have posted about this pretty much since day one with no solutions offered, blame of our rigs, I’ve had my intelligence insulted by other users and even by a certain person in Funcom (I won’t mention the name) who said my claims were hyperbole, and a whole lot of dead silence from the devs. And as I’ve pointed out dozens of times, if the problem exists with just one game on many computers as well as consoles…it isn’t the rigs. Something in the game isn’t right.
You’re definitely not alone in this.
Here’s a link to one of the posts from these forums a long time ago. This one deals mostly with the stutter/performance which I believe is related to your topic. Sadly, it’s never been fixed or redressed for many players.
Stuttering sounds like your running over a map grid border. When you pass over one, the game loads a ton of data from the zone you’re entering onto your system. This is why New Asagarth is so laggy if you play in the center of it which is built on one.
You’re quite correct. Check out the videos in the link, though. Some degree of stuttering happens all over the map. It’s definitely the worst on the grid borders. I don’t even go in to areas like New Asagarth anymore when I putz around with the game. Too aggravating.
Nobody else has anything to say about this problem? After all, it’s a problem that affects all of us.
I see this is your first time posting here. I have been since the game was released.
You’ll find that when you post anything about some of the negative characteristics of the game, if someone doesn’t outright insult you, you’ll be largely ignored…and that’s if your post doesn’t magically disappear. Some people have claimed they don’t have these problems. Sometimes people have simply seen a topic posted so many times they’ve become numb to it. Oh, and some users like to flag posts with content they don’t like.
Believe me, I’ve seen it all happen here. I was actually silenced for a time on these forums where I couldn’t post because the topic concerned problems with the game that weren’t being addressed and I wasn’t railing anyone or cussing…just stating facts. I’m probably risking it again by telling you this.
I used to talk a lot about these performance issues, with little success, so I gave up. Get used to it, have a good fan near yor pc (beeing a hot summer here), and if you have euros or bucks, or whatever to spend, get a top graphics, an ssd and whatnot, that will smooth the game.
I’m sure if you take a few seconds to look around these forums, you’ll find ample evidence to prove this statement utterly false. There are more threads expressive negative opinions than I care to even read.
I remember reading the threads where you described your performance issues. I remember people trying to help in any ways they could. The end result was, if I remember correctly, that the problem couldn’t be identified or reproduced. The problem isn’t ubiquitous, because many people reported they were not suffering from the same.
That’s the problem with problems - sometimes they can’t be universally fixed. Having worked in tech support for 16+ years I’ve encountered numerous cases where something just doesn’t work, for no apparent reason, where the same software works perfectly in an identical computer next door. It’s bloody frustrating, so I can sympathize with your situation. However, I do not appreciate your crusade against Funcom - it’s not that they didn’t try to help you, it’s that they couldn’t. It’s easy to accuse Funcom of censoring your posts because it’s impossible to prove that they didn’t.
I see stuttering and my GPU runs hot in CE, always has. I would suspect most don’t comment here because they either don’t see that issue, or like me, they do…and what? I have no solutions and it’s not something forum users will likely be able to help with. Can’t fix performance optimization on the user side.
I definitely don’t appreciate your attack of my character. I deleted another post I made in response to this crap. Suffice it to say that you’re way off base insinuating that I’m lying and accusing me of being on an anti-Funcom crusade. The only crusade I’m on is hoping, one day, Funcom will straighten the game out so it reaches it’s full potential. I’m still here while many have left in frustration. And I don’t believe for a second that they can’t fix their product as you’ve claimed. I would think it’s more like they’re unwilling or unable to invest the resources into fixing a deep seated problem that they missed during development…likely something to do with optimization, but I’m just guessing. These forums are another matter entirely.
Of course you won’t find any of the removed posts. But I’m sure if you take a few minutes to search the archived posts, you’ll find plenty of posts that weren’t removed where the OP’s were outright insulted and belittled for their comments. Many were simply locked.
I could care less if you believe me, I’ve been coming around here long enough to know what happens as do others and it’s all a matter of record. I’ve seen it with my own eyes and don’t need to validate myself to anyone. You’re insulting my character has done nothing short of proving my point. Based on your past posts, I wouldn’t have thought you’d stoop to that level.
Now why not take your 16+ years of experience and answer the OP instead of focusing on me if you don’t like what I’m saying?
I did exactly that, by saying that sometimes there is no solution. It’s a painful truth, but despite what people might think, computers do not work logically or consistently. There may be an unidentified glitch in a particular batch of hardware (say, graphics card) that causes conflicts with a certain software, even though 99.99 % of that particular graphics card works perfectly with the same software, and even the glitched hardware works perfectly with 99.99 % of other software. It’s basically impossible for any company, even the manufacturer, to identify all of these. (Or, well, it would be possible, but the amount of man-hours it requires would make it horrible cost-ineffective.)
And because the vast majority of Conan Exiles players, using a wide variety of hardware, do not experience this issue, it’s probably one of these cases. It’s unfortunate that you and a few others got the short straw in this lottery. Heck, if I were in your position I’d probably be pissed too. But I still feel your accusations of Funcom systematically censoring everything negative is hyperbolic and unfair. I’ve expressed some strong criticism towards features I don’t like or decisions I don’t agree with, and those posts haven’t “disappeared”. Maybe Funcom just doesn’t like you?
Yes they do - but it’s often the case that our diagnostic time or tools are insufficient to find the logical reason why they behave as they do 
Faulty hardware, while certainly unfortunate, is entirely logical - in a production run of millions, I’d even say inevitable.
Ah, so we do agree. Had me worried 
As for that, all I can say is that I’ve experienced a few instances of, shall we say, very fast draws on the unlist button myself - though not by Funcom staff.
Seems to be an issue on the xbox as well, I can hear it goin ham
I didn’t intend to sound like it was the whole community.
You keep saying I’m accusing Funcom. I don’t remember writing that it was Funcom removing posts, so how about you throw in a quote of me accusing Funcom to refresh my memory. I would assume it’s moderators working on behalf of Funcom…volunteers maybe?
As far as things being censored…here’s one guy that stepped up and corroborated the claim. I guess his statement is hyperbole and unfair too? Notice he’s not accusing Funcom either.
That’s kinda what I said in my last comment.
Indeed. We didn’t play the lottery, we paid for a game. It’s bad business for a company to not make things right for customers who’ve gotten the short end of the stick. In that regard, I have nothing nice to say about Funcom’s response to the issue.
I hope Funcom will fix this problem. Maybe with Vulkan or DX12 support.
@ Shadoza A PSU will never be the reason for high GPU usage/heat.
I hope they will fix it.
