1518 down for hours
Add xbox 2653 to the list.
1517 down again!
1516 down again. This is trash.
1518 is down yet again. Itâs become an every night thing, and then itâs down until the morning.
That is less than a 60% server uptime!
Please tell us you are working to fix this issueâgive us anything. Hell, if it canât be fixed soon then at least have someone available 24/7 to monitor the outages and restart the servers. We canât play the freaking game.
Funcom is made up of a bunch of tools. They pay companies money to host this pile of Alpha BS and the company cant keep the server up for more than 8hrs at a time. Who is to blame, Funcoms BS server client or the hosting party? I say probably both.
I have never seen this type of garbage in a game. Seriously. Anyone else would lose their jobs if they were this incompetent. Change the frequency of the restartsâŠdo something you fcking idiots.
I donât want to be negative with devs with insults and stuff. But just practically I havenât been able to play the game when iâve logged on for 3 consecutive days. Iâm not saying it has been down for 72 hours straight. But whenever I have tried to play I havenât been able to. I have no choice but to look into switching games and perhaps trying Ark. I really like conan. But I canât play. What would you expect us to do funcom?
Also, are other servers better? If so I wouldnât mind a character transfer and start me off in noob desert to rebuild a base. Itâs terrible but at least I could keep my levels and gear I can carry and can play.
Weâre all in the same boat. Itâs absolutely ridiculous that this has been happening-I havenât been able to play for three nights in a row.
And about the transfersâgood luck with that. Look at some of the other official Funcom responses to similar inquiries and you will find that their policy is âwe do not offer MMO-like servicesâ. Someone griefing your server? Lost items due to crash? âSorry, we do not offer MMO-like services for this game.â
Your best bet is to start over on a different server and pray it doesnât suffer the same crashing issueâit seems like many other servers do.
Robotic useless customer service, even when their servers are down about half of the time they cannot be assed to help us or even restart them manually. I wish I never paid money for this horrible experience. Itâs sad because it would have been a great game if not for this crap.
Down again heads up
1941 down also today
1940 also down. Canât confirm it went down yesterday but if not that would make it 1/7 on the week, so Iâm not considering it likely. Iâll point out this outage lasts all evening until (presumably) very early in the morning. Report tool does nothing. Ongoing for at least a month now.
Here we go again. Itâs an American holiday and our servers are down again after a couple weeks of the same issue, day after day.
Thinking out loud here about some risk management⊠A single staffed person with the authority to make the call to reset affected servers would run a few hundred dollars a day on each additional shift. On the flip side of the coin, youâve allowed a large number of your US servers to go unplayable during prime time, thus making the game unplayable to a portion of your customer base. Letâs skip the debate about trusting Jim Bobâs private server for the sake of argument. Now do you really think that the few thousand dollars youâve avoided spending to keep someone staffed to make that phone call to gportal to reset the server outweighs the amount of money youâve lost by adding to the horrible reputation of the unreliability of the game? I myself have never left a steam review on a game, but I think itâs about time I do. Iâve never in all my years felt so disgusted with a game company.
This isnât about not being able to play a game. Itâs about wasting our time. This game is built around the concept of time investment. Every time you allow this incompetence to happen, you render the last âxâ amount of hours of our game time wasted, and force us to spend "xâ amount of hours recovering from your failure. To make matters worse, we donât know the duration of said issue leaving us with a heavy decision. âDo I sit here in hopes that the server will come back up and save my time investment, or do I accept that Iâm going to have to spend âxâ amount of hours next time I log in to recover my loss?â For every moment I invest into this game, Funcom allows it to be transformed from a positive, to a negative. Such a shame because this game could have been amazing, but youâve allowed it to become an absolute regret.

Well said. Completely agree. My guess is this is a combination of short staff and scheduling mostly. Along with perhaps our possibly small numbers (no idea really what % of servers are affected) and a confident attitude that the server issues will be running smoothly in time enough to not lose too many players. It appears that many servers are affected to varying degrees so staff may very well be focusing on those that can actually be restarted withing a reasonable time. Iâve read plenty reports about the report tool working and a server coming online within an hour so the consistency of #1940 being offline for the entire night maybe points to a completely separate issue. Anyway speculation is pointless, Iâm giving it until the weekend and if we donât get some joy Iâm uninstalling.
Yeah, at this point Iâd say the servers arenât down. Theyâre simply broken. They donât work. Many of us have invested hours into a broken server. At this point they should at least close the server or something instead of making us think itâs playable if they arenât going to fix it. itâs not even playable

yup, official server donât work. Funcom can not make a claim to provide official server.
Have tried a few, one works, but it population was down to 5-10/40 due to people leaving, due to exploiters.
And anything handling high populations is lag, unstable and down.
yet, i stuck with it. work on collecting resources over a couple of days and went to take them to a place where i was building a base⊠300 steal bars (iâm low level, that was hard work killing) and a tonne of black ice, and other stuffâŠ
Get within 1 minuet walk of my destination and bam! my player âappearsâ off a cliff, then back where i was, then off the cliff again, then dead. all of it gone. But wait, i can get my stuff back right?
So i wait, as my base was 1 min a way, just spawn in my bed and get my stuff⊠and i wait⊠and, fatal error.
so i log in again, and wait, loading screen⊠nothing⊠watch the server population drop to zero. Server is down. cant get stuff back.
This is a game braking issue. this means that part of the game is broken! just a fact.
thick and fast, negative reviews are coming in on steam, mainly server related. Funcom turned things around after a bad start, and now its all going down the toilet again.
Donât let such a good game die >< think you really need to explain , be truthful about whats going on. People are frustrated.
Feel sorry for the public faces of funcom. I doubt the have any control over this, but deal with the flack (pay rise for them? :P)
Hopefully the upcoming patch makes them more reliable.
Considering these issues appeared with one of the previous patches, Iâm not at all hopeful. Plus the patch is a month away.
I just hope no one else joins one of these servers for their own sake. It might as well be a trap. This server is like a catfish date. Thought you were gonna play Conan Exiles? Weâll lead you on for a few hours. Then⊠Gotcha! Canât play for the next week during any reasonable hours. Thatâs why I wouldnât be against closing the server until they fix it. Admit itâs broken and donât let any other poor souls waste their time on these broken servers. Iâve already invested. My loss is locked in. I just donât want to see others come behind me.

So does anyone know what going on with 1517? Are they working on it or is it just down?
