Have just installed the game and can’t launch it through the Funcom launcher, when I press launch it just closes and nothing happens. I managed to get it started using the “ConanSandbox_BE.exe”.
After the Funcom intro all the sounds are gone and have tried several solutions of switching sound device and what not.
I have played the game before (367 hours) where I had no issues. So is there a fix for this?
Have to say that im a little surprised and disappointed that a game as old as Conan exile are dealing with issues like this after so many years of development.
Hopefully this can help others with similar problem.
But if any Funcom developer see this post, I have to say that I am extremely disappointed that something like this is even an issue in a game like this. It should be an absolutely standard functionality in a game today.
Whether this solution will solve all sound issues that people might have or not I don’t know.
But apparently the way to solve it is to install a very old directX from 2010, why on Earth haven’t this been upgraded with all these updates you have made?
For people that have these issues. Do the following and see if that solves your issue as well:
Download the file from Microsoft and extract it to a folder.
Browse to the folder and run the “DXSetup.exe”
(Sorry for the rant, but having read year old posts with people struggle with this, and having to switch devices and what not trying to make it work and still it haven’t been fixed, is really under huge critic.)
