So I log in and it’s asking me to create a new character? It’s not loading my single player story mode character . Before it bugged out froze and took random stuff away from my base and my follow. Now it bugged glitched froze waited 30 minutes for it to get itself together had to restart it and now my entire character model and everything I worked for in 300 hours is now gone ??? I’m on PS5 is this common and do I have to start over now? Or is there a way to fix this. Again I’m on PS5 and I’ve contacted funcom 5x already they never respond just like most companies now a days . I guess I got got yet again at this point I just want all my money back every single dime I work hard for that money bro. I don’t want to start over and no do NOT suggest admin mod mode to me. I want my vanilla base back . And my thralls and my stations and my build it was all beautiful I hate these companies bro they so focused about their store to get that money and not fixing the issues first at hand . This is hilarious. I’m fed tf up.

TikTok in the name makes sense.

“Story mode character” ?

Starts there.

Then, server game is one thing, solo game is another.

The things they do in Official Servers are the things they always say they do. They are very clear, if you want your “stuff” secure, play solo, it is saved on your computer, you are the one who decides if stuff comes or goes.

Server play was always clearly stated that servers will be subject to clearing, and that they would not have “MMORPG style support” and “give people stuff” in servers.

If this happens in solo game, it happens when the DB is gone, and that does not happen “because of Funcom”.

Still have here the second DB I made when I started playing in 2018.

Gotta level with the “fantasy” and face reality.

You need to contact the retailer whom you purchased the game from and follow their return policy.

Sounds like you may have reset your game. Very easy to do offline if you are not paying attention.

almost 300h and you call yourself new player?

i have about 2500 and i still feel new sometimes, but i think you already had as much fun as possible with the game for what you already paid lol

CE’s problem with corrupted DBs seem to be not uncommon for PS4/5-users. Never had issues with Conan on PC or Xbox (or my own PS4’s), but on my PS5 i had it too. In fact CE is the only game in my ~40 years of gaming history on all sorts of platforms which was able to trash the host’s filesystem beyond repairabilty, had to reinstall. Which is not great (why is this even possible on a modern OS?). Ever since i make a backup on external USB after successful ending a session.

To be honest: at the current state of the game i sometimes also wish i could get some money (or better yet: joy!) back…

Corrupt DB is a problem that happens for a set of circumstances, not all of them due to game development problems. In fact, most of them.
The DB does not really do much. DB in games is confused as much as DNA in biology. DB is only information, and it does not have any power of making stuff. In most cases, DB errors are harmless. They become a problem in some circumstances due to bad code (and I know that to be the case in CE code in certain aspects) when the people doing the code forget to verify things before using things.

For a game that accommodate mods like CE do, even if the actual mods cannot be used in console, the code still more or less “the same”, they sure dont verify things as much as they should.

However, if console does not allow exterior code into the game, it should not matter. Should, but it would.

There is something there that makes NO SENSE at all. This game, like many games, is audited by people before it goes into Steam or PS, or XBOX, so it comply with certain design rules. There is no access to the raw system whatsover, and when it tries to use the own OS features to do so in a way it is not permitted, it crashes in one of the many ways the OS crashes unruly programs, like Malloc crash for example.

However, people love to break the safeties of their consoles for N number of reasons, and most of them, dumb.

I am PC player, and I dont play console for fun. However my wife does play games in console, and in many cases I do too when I am playing with her. I know how console works, not only because I play it, but also I can open it up and tell you what each component there do, why it is there, and how if works, as my first field of work was Mechatronics. (some northfolk mention of it:http://engineering.nyu.edu/mechatronics/Control_Lab/Criag/Craig_RPI/SenActinMecha/Comprehensive.pdf)

Half of what people talk about when they are talking about it is crap. The equipment does not work the way they imply it does, neither does the software.

Like those people who imply they installed an app the totaled their phones.

While the phone does “stop working”, it is just “somewhat” reset their “DB” and they work fine afterwards.
What often happens is that people, both with consoles, phones and computers, who are prone to “break the envelope” with installing stuff, are also prone to disrespect safety protocols.

Those go to the long line of things you are fed because you might believe it, like VPN protects your privacy, or crypto is decentralized.

Anytime I can go to the next room and fire up conan exiles on XBox, and I often do to verify the crap people tell about it, and it simply does not work the way they say it does.

Neither does all this phone stuffs, unless I enable developer mode, or deactivate safety protocols, or “jailbreak” the thing. All things either very skilled or very stupid people do.

It happened just now to me too.
I am on ps5 also, but i have these problems on Siptah map only, never on exile lands.
@Pugilist
The whole thing i’ve been doing on twitch this week, just vanished…
Siptah is still broken on ps5 single player :confused:.

I understand you fellow exile. Although i have 8.300 hours in this game, it’s still disappointing to see a pve session totally wiped by the game it self.
Please optimize ps5, please!

Ps. Welcome to the forum m8 and thanks for the feedback also.
