Lost connection with the server 😨

Basic Info:

Platform: PlayStation 5 (Digital Edition)
Issue Type: Gameplay
Game Mode: Online Official
Server Type: PvE
Map: Isle of Siptah
Server Name: 8144


Bug Description:

For the past couple of days a ā€œLost connection with serverā€ bug has occurred.
I do not know the reason why, but every time it happens I am at risk of losing my Thralls. One time one of them ended up with only 2 HP.


Bug Reproduction:

Just take a look at these two videos, they show three different times the bug occurred last February 10, 2022, I hope they help you identify the reasons why:

Lost connection with the server issue (1/2) - Isle of Siptah - Conan Exiles - PS5 - YouTube
Lost connection with the server issue (2/2) - Isle of Siptah - Conan Exiles - PS5 - YouTube

They are both time-stamped when the bug occurred.

I am having the same problem on the PS4 in the Exiled Lands, always when i enter the frost giants temple to gather black ice, the game loses connection repeatedly

I am having this issue as well on PS5 Official PVE server. I am hard-wired and have 1GB internet, so I know it’s not on my end. This has never happened before this update! I find it’s at its absolute worst when I fight Rotbranch. Out of the 10 or so times I killed it the other day, only once or twice did I not get the error, sometimes it even happens multiple times in the fight.

It also happened last night during my Frost Giant purge. Needless to say, the Purge ended once it kicked me, which really sucks! Most of the bugs I’ve been able to keep playing the same way I always have. This bug is really messing up how I play the game :frowning:

I’ve frozen on ps5 where I can’t do anything. Just accessing a chest or walking around a base.

Then I force quit the game or whatever it’s called on the ps5. But that never finishes as I get the PlayStation error bug submit screen. I submit it and then boot up game again.

This happened pre-patch once in a while. But it hasn’t happened post patch. But I haven’t been on tons yet post patch

I’ve had that happen as well too many times to count haha but this time it’s different as I don’t need to force quit the frozen screen, the game just gives me the good ole boot and says ā€œLost Connection with Serverā€. It’s very quick logging back in, only 10 seconds or so, but it keeps on happening during very intense combat. I’m still playing through it, but the fact it cut short a Purge makes this bug pretty serious for me.

@Community I’m surprised this hasn’t been brought up more, I really don’t think it’s on my end as this has never happened to me before, and my internet is hard wired and 1GB/sec. Thanks so much for any help or advice :slight_smile:

I am so glad some of you mentioned the Internet speed because, yes, first I thought that this bug could be caused by the humungous buildings surrounding the area that could clearly make the server crash (along with clear TOS violations like placing single construction blocks to avoid others from building close to them), but I have a 940Mbps synchronous bandwidth that could be able to manage those kind of buildings (hopefully!). So, yes, this may be a different kind of bug.

My connection isn’t wired. The router I used to use is brutal. Not a true router but some kind of gateway thing that also works for cable tv. The wifi and hardwired connections are awful.

So I have good wifi connection. But yes every now and then it drops. But don’t have connection drops in Conan or say gta. Or maybe those games are more robust than say live service games like destiny. I get drops in destiny semi often and it can’t usually recover.

I’m pretty obsessed with levelling up my thralls, so I fight Rotbranch an excessive amount of times (10-20 times an evening), and I can say with 100% certainty this ā€œLost Connection with Serverā€ never once happened before this most recent update.

My base is in an area of Mounds of the Dead that is very heavily populated, which has never been an issue before, so this has got to be something completely unrelated and new IMO. I was originally waiting for someone to post a thread, because at first I thought it may somehow just be me.

I am currently having the exact same issue as you are. It happens while on the move or even happens when just idling in my base. Sadly there is no specific pattern to reproduce the issue, but the disconnect from server error happens regularly, sometimes I get an error that says ā€œclient is not respondingā€ but the majority of the time its the same as you.

I am currently playing on PC, using the latest Steam version and I am playing on an official funcom server.

I confirm the issue as well! Tbh, i believed that it was on me and i had ddos attacks since my PlayStation was loosing completely connection with the internet.
In a couple of cases i had to restart my router too. Of course the PlayStation was the only device that was loosing internet connection, no other device! But in other cases i was loosing connection from the server without loosing connection with the internet on my device.
So i believe i did not help a lot here, i just made it worst because probably i endure more than one situation here!

I have been suffering the same problem, lost the connection with the host a lot of times, normally when I am fighting.

And the pve servers goes too bad, it’s the second time in the month that the servers go down without any advice and left me in the hell.

Funcom needs new servers that works well. This problems are too bad to the game experience and it’s too bad publicity to funcom.

So far this issue has plagued me, but this morning I tried turning ā€˜Motion Blur’ ON in the Conan Settings in game on PS5. So far I haven’t had the ā€œLost Connection Errorā€ once, and I’ve been doing the same combat (including killing Rotbranch) that I did before. I’ll continue to report back if this in fact has completely fixed the issue :slight_smile:

EDIT: Well, things seemed good, but alas I was wrong. Just fought Rotbranch and got ā€œLost Connection with Serverā€ three damn times! If I turn away from him and let my thrall do the work, it seems to be fine :confused:

Haven’t had any issues out of the norm since returning home, personally. I tend to occasionally lose connection at my base after going out and doing stuff, then returning, so I can’t say for certain what’s happening. Granted, I haven’t attempted rottbranch to see the reliability of the connection loss. @Marylambs and I both built a small outpost by sepermeru with no problems. Also, been playing siptah and exploring areas for new builds. Again, no issues. I’ll possibly try rottbranch though.

It seems to give me the error during intense combat, I’ve been building and decorating and even killing Wights, Wolves, Bears and Mammoths no problem (for the most part). It tends to happen when I take on a few things at once, and basically every single time I fight Rotbranch. It wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t just fighting Rotbranch for the XP, seems to kick me right at the end of the fight half the time, thrall kills it while not following me, no XP haha

I just bought my wife a PS5 for Valentine’s Day, I’m actually going to try things from her account and PS5 and see if it’s any different! :crossed_fingers:t3:

I am still getting the same error when fighting the same 5 Accursed at the same spot on PS5.
At one point I thought it had to do with NPCs speaking/shouting/screaming, but I am still clueless.

Ok, so I tested this on the rottbranch next to the base owned by @Coyote0903 and yeah… I died once from stupidity, but came back, got my thrall to follow again, but then got kicked. Logged back in, got my thrall on follow and got kicked again! Came back and miraculously got my thrall to follow again before killing rottbranch. Got my xp for it, but seems like a lot of trouble just to try and xp farm. I’ll have to test the rottbranch by my main base and see what happens. The mounds of the dead is pretty busy, so that could contribute to it. My base’s location, on the other hand, is not so much.

Just a quick follow up. I tried fighting rottbranch in J5/6 with no issues. It could be an issue with rendering everything in the area. The Mounds are very busy nearby, whereas, the rottbranch nearby my main base has nothing to render in since it’s all out of render distance.
