Yeah, so, naked guy running in air, no big deal right? Every time we kill him the server goes down and restarts. Every time. Hit him with a sword, server goes down. Use poison arrows, server goes down. WTF? Official pvp server conan exiles.
Platform?
Might be a good idea to clip it and open a ticket.

yeah GREAT ADVICE, I’ll be sure to tell all the other players on the server what you suggested

On a certain level I have to admire that. It’s quite the dead man’s switch.
Is he on building pieces?
Character running in place could be a latency issue. Have you checked with other players on the server to see if they all see the same thing?
Might be a good idea if the OP captures a video of this to prove it.
At least capture a video of the schmuck running in the air
and if you can at least capture the name of whoever it is in the video.

I opened a topic today about this, if enemies on the map attack these ghost players they reach around 30/50 HP and after about 10 seconds the server crashes
There is no way to capture the player’s name because it is a bug with all the accounts that are inactive within the Conan server as if they came back to life, it is not like players who are active that when they leave the game the message “UNCONSCIOUS” appears, simply these white-haired NPCs are as if they were players with a bug that when they get close to death there is some conflict that causes the server to lose stability.
The last time I remember seeing anything resembling something like this was during the early access phase of this game. But instead was multiples of creatures that spawned at some spots on the map resembling a mini version of Yog Sothoth.
(A writhing, tentacled head on some kind of standing form).
It occurred shortly after one update to the game and persisted until another update corrected it.
Any ideas when this started?
There was a couple of small updates recently (If I recall correctly)

It’s around the time you said about creatures similar to Yog that I hadn’t played yet, I started playing in 2020.
From what I remember seeing these ghost players around the map I believe it’s been 2 months
Reminds me of that critter from season 3 of Stranger Things
I wonder if anybody else on other servers might have run across this during the past two months, or if it’s unique only to the server you and your associates are running on.
The only question that comes to my mind at the moment:
Was anything said in chat that might lead us to think it was somebody?
If it is what I suspect, it might not be a “cheat/hack”, but some unintentional error in the code since one of the updates.
On a side note:
Occasionally, as we wonder around the map we still find creatures elevating or floating in air until we get close. Then snap back down to the ground, but more rare that it keeps floating away.
It is strange that attacking it down to near death causes the server to crash and restart.
It needs to be investigated more thoroughly.
- See what happens if it is left alone and just observe it. (avoid confrontation if possible).
- Does this happen random at different locations, specific locations or in one place?
Note: When I first encountered this oddity during Early Access, I watched it and chose not to confront it. It might be related, but in avoiding it I don’t recall having any crashes. However, memory at my age tends to be a little faulty.

my server is PVE from Latin America sony #4523, if you are a console player I invite you to enter the server to look, these ghost players are standing still on the map, some on the ground others floating, the problem occurs when it is attacked, it is very similar to the bug that there was a while ago where you broke the link with the abysmal horse and the server collapsed, the difference is that this bug here the server restarts comes back faster,
I must confess I play on PC or I would definitely come take a look on your server.
However, the way you are describing it sounds exactly like the one I encountered during Early Access. The only difference I can discern is being now that you see it as other exiles. Several of them spawning at a time.
I imagine you probably don’t get any error report options when it does happen.
Since you got a photo capture of it, try submitting a bug report on it.
Hopefully, somebody “up there” will take notice.

I was early to send a report to Zendesk, I opened another topic, I came here because it is the same bug that is happening, I believe that funcom/tencent should have its own servers, as the servers are from gportal and it is more difficult to work when something is not yours, but anyway I will have to send the report to Zendesk

Well done Geee.
Let’s hope this gets the attention it deserves and resolved so you and your associates can get back to “normal” play.

I think it is unintentional as well.
I can only assume/imagine the cause. But it does remind me of the recent issue with logged off player characters in proximity or within their landclaim keeping base timers up, causing bases to never decay.
Something funky (in varying ways) is going on with the status of logged off characters the last 6 months.
