Massive FPS drops

Does Funcom work on a patch to fix the problem?

So based on my own experiments it seems there is a mod that is known to cause performance issues (stuttering and missing terrain):

  • Play Razma & Conan

I have restored my entire mod load order minus “Play Razma & Conan”, and now I have no issues (NPCs spawn normally, no vanishing terrain, no FPS drops, not counting the normal, negligible hiccups caused by loading the game world in front of you.)

I’ve already notified the mod author.

Yes; read above or check the devstream from yesterday on youtube

Hey there,

For the problems happening on the vanilla version of the game, we’ve identified a most likely cause for the problems affecting, again, those playing in unmodded servers. This issue has been addressed and will be released, as we announced above, early next week.
We’re currently investigating other possible causes for these slowdowns. Again, please take a look at my previous message here.
Thanks to the majority who has been sending us constructive and helpful feedback and for keeping this thread on track.

Ok so another thing i found out is some body mod could break the animation system causing a stream of errors of missing bone reference.

One of them was Aquilonian Female

Hey, the game was unplayable at all, after removing Exiles Land Improved it works fine. Same happens with many other games when new update comes. Conan Exiles is just one of many. Trust or not , but I had the same in World of Warcraft for example. All we need is patient until developer put another hotfix and modmakers update their mods. I did enjoy your posts Mebrilia, though.

I am happy if my finding helped to ease the problems for some users i was heavily affected by them but still i do believe all this problems were caused by errors. Bone references missing.

Confirmed here as well. :+1:

You might want to report the issue of bone references to the mod author in the Aquilonian Females comment topic. AFAIK, she is working on a new body mod and fixing the issue would at least prevent the release of a potentially broken mod.

For those who have the fps drops while having the mod ELI, it MIGHT help disabling the mod and using the submods of ELI.

This was the case with my server but reading some other comments it may not be the full fix for others.
Still having lots of spawn errors though.

Stay strong! Funcom is on it! Dont abandon this sweet game cause of the difficulties its having right now :o

I’m glad you are solving it, as I am very excited about the game again due to the latest updates, and the prospect of new ones already announced as mounts … it makes me see that the game will still have new things relevant to the point of being worthwhile. It’s worth investing my time in it.

I play on official PVE 1950 server, I don’t have any MOD, and as I reported the game crashes anywhere on the map, there is no specific place even in the empty desert, and as I said I already downloaded my EPIC setting as I always played , for MEDIUM and the locking remains the same, ie it is not an overload on my video card the problem if not downloading from EPIC to MEDIUM would solve.

This talk of reverting the update, EVER, was never even an amazing update I loved the slaves have gained “life” and as I reported even when I am away from slaves the FPS is still in the 5-10 as everyone there.
Unlike many out there I don’t want to send hate messages, on the contrary, I’m glad the game is “risking” doing new things, even if it may cause annoyances like this, of course if they get fixed later, I am very excited and proud to follow FUNCOM since 2017 I bought this game on the 1st day that it was put on STEAM and I was only able to play more than 1 month later, because I could not connect to the server, but my desire was so great I did not ask for a return, I was hoping, and look at just one day the game connected to the server and it was such a magical feeling, imagine something I expected almost 1 month, that day I spent about 15 hours playing with fear of leaving and I never got back in again thanks to god from that day on I was able to play daily, today I must have about 2,500 hours of play, nor do I believe it.
Well that’s it, I hope you keep working on the game, keep on taking risks and creating new things, as I always say I’ll keep supporting buying the DLCs, I have 8 and whenever I keep feeling that the team is really working on the game and add New things for us to do I’ll keep buying, I feel that everyone thinks the same.
Big hug and work hard guys!

THERE IS! BEST GAME WATER AND Coconut palms! LOL (couldn’t miss the opportunity lol)

It was just updated today (a couple of hours ago), and it seems to be working fine now.

Very sad! We checked our servers and due to mods been automatically disabled, we lost everything that we built. Pretty sad! Believe I will shelve this game!
Worst DLC update ever. Good job Funcom!

Not really FCs fault, so get a grip

You chose to play with mods and that entails certain risks

Your items are still there and will reappear when you put the mods back on

Afaik mods dont autodisable

Also ELI updated to latest devkit

Maps stops loading @t the same points. Only a Relog help and ist stopping the FPS drops and Lags. There are some Points Ingame it happens.

and after Relog:

Think thats not a Mod Problem.

Do you have “Play Razma & Conan” in your mod list? Because it causes the same issues that you’ve just described.

I may invite funcom in the future to update the toolset first. That would give the modders enough time to work for an update when a new version come out or at least keep the collateral damage at the minimum.

I play on the same server, we do not use this mod there.

I’ve never had fps issues with this game in the past, not once. But with this update it has made it utterly unplayable. I hope it’s resolved soon, my server was about to expire the other day and I contemplated even renewing it because me and the people who play on my server couldn’t even play if he wanted to. All I can think is how bummed out I am that me and a group of friends were going to start a new campaign over the weekend and now we can’t even play because of how terrible this bug is. Really hope it’s fixed soon.

I have a hard time understanding why people get upset with funcom for issues with a modded game, when removing the mods solves the problem.

Funcom doesn’t make the mods. Funcom is not responsible for maintaining mods. Funcom is not to blame for mods failing.

Mods are a super awesome part of the game and it is all the mod developers we have to thank for that extra QoL and content they provide. Unfortunately, they do need time to get their mods updated when Funcom makes updates to the game.

I love mods. I have to disable 1-2 mods every single Funcom update. I test all my mods on an update to see which ones break, then I go post my problems to the mod developer in the Workshop section. Mod developers are usually grateful for the feedback and most of the time are already working on a solution.

If what I just said makes no sense, think of it this way… If you own a car, then decide to upgrade road sensor cameras with some 3rd party stuff, then the car manufacturer send a software update for the collision avoidance system, but it doesn’t work and you crash, is it the car manufacturer fault that the system didn’t work as intended? (forgive the sentence run on).

Cut Funcom some slack
