PC Hotfix (15.11.2018)

Summary

Hey everyone!

We’re rolling out a quick hotfix for the PC to take care of some issues that popped up after the post-Halloween patch. Please not that this patch contains no updates to the Purge system. That is planned to come out in a future patch.

The dev kit will release at the same time as this patch so mod creators can update their mods right away.

Changelog

Fixed an issue with thrall recipes not being visible when the user reenters any crafting station
Fixed an issue that prevented the user from scrolling up and down within any crafting station when using a controller
Fixed a Quick Loot functionality issue for loot bags, where loot bags weren’t quick loot-able, even by their owner

PC Post-Halloween Patch (07.11.2018)

Summary

Dear exiles,

We have released a new patch for the PC version of Conan Exiles and removed the Halloween content from the game. We know the Night of Lost Souls event hasn’t been everyone’s cup of tea and we’re taking several lessons away from the feedback we’ve gotten this past week.

Thank you to everyone for voicing your opinions and for offering tips on future events. We take it all to heart.

The dev kit will not be available at the release of this patch, but we’re working on getting it released. Shouldn’t take more than a day or two and mods shouldn’t be super incompatible without it.

This patch contains a number of updates to the Event Log so it will log more information related to pets, thralls and items. We’ve also fixed several bugs related to player corpses and we believe we’ve also managed to fix the well bug.

Highlights:

Event Log changes (see below for more details)
Halloween event has ended. The Potion of Lost Souls and any resources harvested during the event will remain in player inventory until consumed or decayed.
Wells should now be re-filling as intended

Fixed an issue where having several of buff/debuff icons on screen would cause a lot of lag

Patch Notes:

Exploit Fixes

Fixed an exploit where players could manipulate and duplicate thrall inventories

Event Log changes

Dismantled placeables will now show up as intended in the Event Log
Items dropping from destroyed placeables will now be listed in the Event Log when they’ve decayed
Update to the “Days Passed” slider in the Event Log to be more consistent
Event log entries can now stack and be displayed in one row instead of multiple.
Database maintenance: Remove Event Log entries older than 3 weeks
Companion names should now be displayed properly in the Event Log when they are hungry, starving or returning home
Made companion cause of death more consistent in the Event Log (Please note: The Event Log does not support custom companion names):
– Player and Clan name will be displayed when a follower is killed by another player
– NPC name will be displayed when a follower is killed by an NPC
– Starvation/fall damage/noxious damage will be displayed when a follower dies by these
The Event Log should now display item names as intended
Dragging an item from a Crafting Station and dropping it on a stack of said items in the inventory should now create an entry in the Event Log

Bug Fixes

Wells should now be re-filling as intended

Fixed a bug where traps could be returned to player inventory after exploding
Fixed a bug where corpses would disappear if a player died underwater.
Fixed an issue where an Avatar’s timer wouldn’t update correct on Dedicated Servers
Fixed a bug where accessing a vault would cause lag and hitching
Fixed a bug that allowed players to loot XX_Unarmed items from Thralls
Fixed a bug where unconscious NPCs would disappear if they fall or slide away from a space where they were released from their bindings (like a cliff)
Fixed an issue where having several of buff/debuff icons on screen would cause a lot of lag
The Degenerate should no longer spawn two corpses when killed
Removed guards on letting following companions teleport to you. Pets should now follow you more reliably into your compounds
Fixed a bug where attempting to move a pet or thrall would have them turn invisible if the player moved too far away from their original placement.
Fix a visual bug causing the blood spatter background of certain Feat filter icons to disappear
Fixed a possible leak in SQLite DB handling due to missing ‘virtual’ keyword on ~QueryResultBase
Explosive Arrows should no longer do damage to buildings on PvE servers.

Environment Changes

Removed the ability to reach a unplayable area in the Black Keep
Fixed a collision issues with the barriers in the Midnight Grove

Fixed an issue where the curse wall spline had many points that had inverted rotation, causing issues with not being able to build in random places. Also removed a duplicate of the curse wall spline that existed right on top of the original one.
Removed the ability to reach a unplayable area in Bin-Yakin’s Seal cave ceiling

Quality of Life Changes

Added a “Clear” button to the Server Browser, to more easily remove entries in Server Name and Maximum Ping filters
The Crafting Station UI will now display the name of the crafting station instead of “Crafting Station”
Loot bags from demolishes buildings will now have ownership and can’t be looted, similar to loot bags from thralls and player corpses

Localization Changes

Various localization fixes on DLC items

PC Halloween Hotfix (1.11.2018)

Summary

Hey everyone,

Today, we’re rolling out a hotfix to take care of the most reported issues with the Halloween update released yesterday. We want to thank our community for reporting these issues to us and for staying patient and positive as we fixed them.

In this hotfix we’re tweaking the game so it will be easier for players to see in the eternal twilight, while also balancing the loot drops from the Halloween meteors. The T2 doors are also getting fixed.

If it’s still too dark for you you can also tweak the following server settings (in game or in an .ini file) to the following values. This will make it less dark:

DayCycleSpeedScale=9.000000
DayTimeSpeedScale=0.10000
NightTimeSpeedScale=10.000000
DawnDuskSpeedScale=5.000000

If you do not wish to participate in the Halloween event, there will be a build available on our Testlive branch without the Halloween content, but otherwise identical to the current live version.

If you switch branches and play single-player, you might want to take a backup copy of your game.db file to avoid potentially losing your save data.

Server admins might also want to back up their server’s game.db file for people to be able to continue with their characters on your server, just in case.

How to find and copy your game.db

Open Steam and go to your library
Right click on Conan Exiles and choose Properties
Find and select the tab marked “Local Files” and click the “Browse Local Files” button. A Windows Explorer folder should now pop up
Go to ConanSandbox → Saved to find your game.db file
Make a copy of it in an easily accessible place on your computer
Once you’ve patched to the Testlive branch, simply drop the game.db file you copied before into the Saved folder, replacing what’s already there, and you can continue playing as you normally would

Changelog

Fixed T2 doors so you cannot walk through them
Removed Star Metal Picks, Dragonpowder and Skeleton Keys from meteors for balancing purposes
Meteor fragments that have been harvested or disappeared won’t leave a particle trail behind
Changed speed of day on official servers so it will not get as dark during the Halloween event
Added auto exposure to compensate for the darkness and make things a bit brighter

An equivalent patch is also being made for consoles, but we’re looking into fixing the spammy meteors first.

PC Halloween Update (31.10.2018)

Summary

Today we are kicking off our Halloween event, which will run throughout the game during the next week. Welcome, exiles, to the Night of Lost Souls!

The sky will darken as perpetual dusk falls upon the landscape, casting it in black shadows and blue light, tearing at the boundaries which separate the world of the living from the realms of the dead. The clouds will part. A new face will appear upon the moon’s surface. It is the face of death, keeping watch over whatever might stir on the ground below.

During the Night of Lost Souls, stones will fall from the sky in multitudes, striking the earth in a flurry of colored smoke and debris. Adventurous exiles can break open these stones with whatever tool they have available. Inside, they will find a plethora of crafting ingredients, both rare and common, doled out at random by the spirits lingering inside the stones, anything from Plant Fiber and Meat to Explosive Glands, Arrows and Steelfire. It all depends on the spirit’s goodwill.

Inside the fallen stones you will also discover the Potion of Lost Souls, a special brew only available on this hallowed night. Imbibing the Potion will grant you certain benefits at random. Drink one and see what happens, but don’t drink too many or your body will suffer the consequences. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

After a week, the Night of Lost Souls will pass and the sun will once again rise on the Exiled Lands. The restless spirits will be calm, yet their gifts will remain with those who received them.

Highlights

The Conan Exiles Halloween Event is now live and will run until the 6th of November
Added new music, sound effects, Main Menu graphics and changed the lighting to make things more spooky
Torches now burn with a purple light
The moon’s face is now different
Meteors will fall from the skies, containing different kinds of loot and goodies
The Potion of Lost Souls can be harvested from meteors. Imbibing them will grant you a number of buffs and effects

Devkit

The devkit will be made available shortly after this patch goes live, no later than an hour after patch time.

SetServerSetting HalloweenMeteorSpawnTimer=X

Disabled file handling caching in FGenericAsyncReadFileHandle for editor builds. This is needed by the mod devkit as it mounts pak files while still being an editor build

Known Issues

Sometimes the Halloween meteors will disappear after hitting the ground. This is fairly uncommon, but might affect some of you.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MOD COMPATIBILITY

This update includes several code changes from the previously deployed version. Depending on these changes, some mods built with the previous dev kit may or may not work as intended. Mods are less likely to break as they did in the last patch as this is a smaller update, and a new dev kit was released when this patch went live.

HIGHLIGHTS

New pet taming system
Fixed 2 critical server crashes reported by the community
The north-western corner of the Frozen North is accessible again!

Pet system and taming

You asked for it and we are happy to deliver:
From today on forward you will be able to tame and raise your very own pet(s). Explore the Exiled Lands with your trusty companion by your side or build a farm to have them produce materials for you.

You will want to start your career as a Beastmaster by building an animal pen for your new future friends. These shelters come in three different tiers and have 5 available pens to hold your animals.

Following this, you will need to obtain a baby or an egg. These can be found in the world, and on certain (rare) vendors so keep your eyes open while you travel! You’ll be able to place your baby pet version into the pen and have them grow into an adult and trusty companion over time.

However, don’t forget to feed and treat them well or you might just end up with a carcass!

While you have a baby animal in your pen, the type of food you offer it will influence your chances to have your baby grow into a greater pet version: A rarer, more powerful and special looking variation.

The new pet system will also introduce the mechanic of thrall feeding. Special Feed boxes and Thrall Pots are available for easier, automatic food distribution to several pets or thralls for those of you who are planning for bigger armies of two and four legged friends.

While keeping your pets happy and fed they will eat any type of food that they can digest. However, feeding them their favorite snacks will grant them temporary buffs.

Very conveniently, live animals will also produce dung, which is used to create compost for your planters.

Even in the sad and unfortunate event of your pet’s untimely death, you can still make use of them. Placing dead pets inside a Liquid Separator will grind them down into blood, bone and hide resources.

Update 34 (04.10.2018) - The Midnight Grove and Jhebbal Sag religion

Summary

Gather 'round everyone, for on this day, October 4th, we’re releasing the next update for Conan Exiles! Well, sort of.

We’re releasing half of the Pets Update, meaning you’re getting the Midnight Grove, the Jhebbal Sag religion and thrall hunger system. The pets system will be released at a later date and we’re currently aiming for next week.

The Midnight Grove & Jhebbal Sag Religion

The Midnight Grove is where you learn the Jhebbal sag religion path, the sixth and final religion in Conan Exiles. You have to traverse a labyrinthian maze, facing down many dangers along your path before you make it to the end and discover the final challenge: Jhebbal Sag’s champion.

Defeating the werewolf and consuming its flesh will give you the knowledge of Jhebbal Sag’s altars and religious items. Followers of Jhebbel Sag are all about controlling and hunting beasts. Special bloodletter knives allows them to extract blood from their victims and sacrifice it to their bloodthirsty master.

They are also able to craft special lures that attract animals and other beasts to wherever they’re thrown, making them deadly and implacable foes out in the wild. The magical Mark of Jhebbal Sag will offer any creature caught within it up as tribute to the Lord of Beasts. In return he may send one of his champions to see if you are still worthy.

Reaching the highest level of worship with Jhebbal Sag will grant you access to the deadly Claws of Jhebbal Sag. This devastating weapon allows you to truly tap into your inner beast and unleash furious swipes with razor sharp claws, much like like Jhebbal Sag’s champion.

Thrall Hunger

As part of this update we’re rolling out thrall hunger, which requires you to feed your thralls in order to keep them alive. The objective of this is to add nuance and flavor, not grinding, and we’ve gotten a lot of valuable feedback from our Testlive audience when tweaking the numbers. We feel we’ve arrived at a reasonable balance for this mechanic, but we always welcome more feedback.

You only need to feed thralls that have been placed out in the world (fighters and archers). Thralls at your workstations and altars have no inventory and won’t require feeding
The amount of time a companion can go on without eating, from fully fed to hungry, will be 7 days
Companions will be able to eat pretty much anything that’s even remotely edible
If you match thrall’s preferred diet, they will gain a bonus buff. This way, if you do care about the specifics of each companion type, you can get a temporary short-term advantage. You can still feed them whatever you want to prevent them from decaying. This also means you can buff your companions right before battle. A server setting (disabled by default) will allow you to make diet matching mandatory if that’s what you prefer
Food dispensers (Thrall Pot for thralls and Feedbox for pets) will push smaller amounts of food to each companion before moving onto the next companion. The net result of this is that all your companions will be more equally fed and you’ll need smaller amounts of food to reach them all
The Thrall Pot is unlocked when you make a Wheel of Pain. You craft it at the Carpenter’s Bench.
Food will decay very slowly when placed in food dispensers
There will be server options to enable/disable the feeding system separately for thralls and pets. There will also be server config parameters to adjust other aspects of the system, including if your companions should die when they are hungry or only be reduced in health. This means your server can adjust the system to a level of commitment/consequence that you want, including disabling it entirely

Known issues

We have been getting reports that some players with mods installed are experiencing crashes when placing thralls. Disabling nameplates will fix this.
Even if you disable thrall hunger, the hunger timer will still tick down. Your thralls won’t die once the timer runs out, but we know it can cause confusion
Character hitbox can sometimes bug out when you log out on top of a foundation. A server restart will take care of this

Server settings

Private server admins should be aware of the following:

StarvationDamagePenaltyCap=n where n is the percentage of maximum damage that a thrall can take if going hungry for 7 ingame days
StarvationDamagePenaltyCap=0.0000 would mean taking max 0% damage over time
StarvationDamagePenaltyCap=1.0000 would mean taking max 100% damage over time and potentially killing the thralls

Changelog:

HIGHLIGHTS

New Dungeon: The Midnight Grove
New offhand combat mechanics
New Specialist Arrows: Light Arrows, Tar Arrows, Poison Arrows, Ivory Arrows, Explosive Arrows, Healing Arrows
New thrall hunger mechanics

THRALLS/AI

Fixed a bug that would cause thrall health to reset to 100 HP
Thralls have now 50% increased health. That is to bring them in line with some of the greater pets and also make it more interesting to take a thrall out for exploration/hunting
Entertainer Thralls now provide buffs after having been on follow mode
The Crocodile boss near the N’batu’s Pack is no longer stuck and attacks the player
Fixed an issue where NPCs would stop aggroing after a player teleported several times.

Added the option to visually remove text on signs made by people outside your guild. You will only see it if you click on it.
Added the option to visually remove text from all signs. You will only see it if you click on it.

Preservation box’s inventory space is increased. Food will not decay in them if there’s ice in the box
Beehives behave differently: They still collect honey over time, but Worker Bees and Queen Bees will produce a lot more honey than an empty beehive

Hotfix (02.08.2018) - Quick fixes and The Jewel of the West Pack

Summary

Hey everyone!

We’ve rolled out a new update for the PC version of Conan Exiles. This patch contains some quick fixes and the new DLC: The Jewel of the West Pack.

Changelog:

The Jewel of the West Pack is now available for purchase
Fixed a bug where tents would make players and NPCs immortal
Fixed an issue where the Potion of Endowment buff effect wouldn’t get removed after timing out, leading to potentially world-destroying amounts of dong
Fixed an issue where meteor shells were automatically destroyed after landing, making it difficult to harvest Star Metal

It includes the following items:

39 new Aquilonian building pieces.
- A full set of building pieces with the same stats as existing tier three.
15 new armor pieces in three sets, such as the Black Dragon armor.
- Light, medium and heavy sets with an epic end-game version of each.
9 new weapons in one Aquilonian weapon set.
- Same power as iron weapons with an epic end-game version of each weapon.
5 new Aquilonian warpaints.
- Decorative warpaints symbolizing for example rule and bravery.

- Craft them at the new Aquilonian Artisan table.

All the new content from Aquilonia is exclusive to this DLC and adds a host of new visual options but does not give any in-game advantage in power. All the new items have comparable stats to existing items.

Summary

Good day everyone! A new hotfix has been released and coming to a PC near you. Thank you so much for the continued feedback and details in your reports and suggestions!

Max Decay Time on Official Servers

As we mentioned in the previous Hotfix thread on the 7th, we have increased the max decay time from 6 days to 18 days for all official servers on all platforms.

Hotfix (09/07/2018)

Summary

Hey all, just released a small hotfix! This focuses on an issue where the Degenerate’s Illusion would cause a common server crash. Thanks for your patience and your continue reports! We’re noting each one down.

Please give the servers some time to update and come back online.

Hotfix (07/07/2018)

Summary

Hello Exiles,

Thank you for your patience and feedback.

We know you’ve been waiting and waiting is no fun so let’s get right down to business:
Here are the bugfixes for today’s Hotfix

Decay

We have received feedback from EU and US players that it will be tricky to maintain your bases on official servers during the common vacation period in July and early August due to the decay time being 6 days. We are therefore temporarily increasing this to 18 days for EU and US Officials starting this coming week. So assuming your building is large enough it will take up to 18 days to decay [the repair hammer is your best friend and allows you to check this easily!]. We will keep an eye on things and record any significant impact on server performance. Depending on this, we may have to reduce the limit again but we will in that case make sure to announce it first. Otherwise this change will stay in effect until Monday 13th August.

Private server admins who run with the decay system activate can also easily do this by changing the following value in serversettings.ini:

from MaxDecayTimeToAutoDemolish=604800.000000 (this is 6 days counted in seconds)
to MaxDecayTimeToAutoDemolish=1814400.000000 (this is 18 days counted in seconds)

We also have a poll going on for additional server areas to get a feeling for demand.
Please take a look here.

AI/THRALLS

The Pirate Captain will once again make an appearance in his quarters.
Fixed the down pour of T4 named thralls at the Black Galleon and other places. Back to business as normal!
Thralls can now be properly placed inside Avatar Domes
Thrall ownership was not always saved correctly when joining or leaving a guild which could cause thralls to attack the player.
Fixed a case where thralls would fall through foundations.

GENERAL BUGFIXES

Players who logged out on top of building pieces should no longer log in inside them
Item Decay Timer is back to normal. No need to buy those fridges after all. This should also fix the issue with Yellow Lotus potions vanishing into thin air.
Some conflicting access rules with containers and quick loot have been resolved.
Map Markers will once again persist through logouts.
Your hard earned journey steps are once more tracked and displayed properly
Small wells can be placed again.
Blood stains will be properly removed over time.
Ymir set can now be repaired
Right and Left-sloping walls can now be placed under ceilings
Fixed a Bug with Avatars not doing proper damage to structures. We are still looking into an additional balance pass especially involving Set.
Level up Audio should now be better synced with on screen notification
Fixed a bug which could allow you to extend the number of storage slots in containers
Fix for modders not being able to use the UI Modules table or the ActivateGuiModule command anymore.
Fixed a small bug where objects appeared to be floating on trees with snow.
Fixed a problem preventing modders from cooking mods that had a mod RconCommand in it.

QoL FIXES

Moved “Encumbered” notification to a more convenient location on the screen.

KNOWN ISSUE

Placeables that emit heat emit heat even when turned off. This should not pose a huge problem unless you have built anti-cold buildings in the desert with a lot of torches and furnaces, but it is an issue nonetheless.

A good way around this is to not use more torches than is required, or use torches that actively combat heat (Witchfire) or torches that don’t emit heat at all (Radium), build using the correct heat/cold resistant materials, not create huge farms of furnaces to smelt (note that the bricks cook much faster after the patch) and wear appropriate clothing for the biome you are in.

Mother of all Patches PC Build (05.07.2018)

Summary

Are you ready for a wall of text?

You asked for it and we delivered. You totally rallied to the cause as we saw the TestServer fill up quickly with hundreds of you playing. A real sight to behold!

Over 900 of you helped us Stress Test this veritable book of fixes and updates.

You guys seriously rock! Thank you!

Balancing Pass and Exploit Fixes (15.06.2018)

Summary

UPDATE: A small hotfix for dedicated servers has been released. This fixed a frequently occurring crash related to corpse map markers. Please be sure you update your game. Again, this just affects dedicates servers. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience!

Hello Exiles!

We have a pretty juicy patch for you for PC today! This patch will also go live asap for Consoles, barring issues with certification process at Sony and Microsoft.

We really want to thank you for your feedback, patience and ongoing support while we address issues and improve the game. Please keep posting bugs, feedback and issues you encounter, especially after patches, here on our forums.

We are also working with Gportal for IG server messages to get you a heads-up for servers going down for patches and maintenance. This should hopefully be available sometime next week for official servers and then shortly after also be implemented for private servers.

Also a quick note on the infamous “Light Armor Journey” Bug. The fix for this will go to testlive with the over 500 additional changes that is scheduled for next week. We know that you have been waiting for this for a while and we apologize for the delay!

HIGHLIGHTS:

NEW ADMIN COMMANDS

WhitelistPlayer <steamid>
UnWhitelistPlayer <steamid>

NEW RCON COMMANDS

When inspecting a thrall, the “Equip” button will now correctly equip items from either the players or the thralls backpack on the thrall.
Fixed a server crash related to thralls and inventories

ADDITIONAL DECAY SYSTEM EXPLANATION FOR ADMINS

We’ve added a couple of new server settings that allow server admins to configure the decay system so that it considers buildings of a certain size to be insignificant and should therefore decay a lot faster than regular buildings. As long as there is no placeable involved.

The server settings are:

OverrideDecayMaxBuildingPieces, default value 6. This means a building with 6 or less pieces will get its normal decay time overriden by the time specified in the following server setting
OverrideDecayTime, default value 3600. The amount of seconds it will take this building to decay into abandoned state, and it will then stay in abandoned state for 10% of this time.

What the example of the default values, any building with 6 or less pieces will go into abandoned state after 1 hour. And then completely decay and be destroyed after 10 minutes in abandoned.
(Anyone can demolish an Abandoned building by interacting with it)

It will not get this overriden decay time if there is a placeable, like a bedroll or a campfire, near the building. And it will instead work like before.
This is a quick thing we added to combat the “mine-fields” of pillars/foundations placed around the world to claim land. But we’re looking into better approaches.

Hotfix (25.05.2018)

Summary

Hey all! Quick patch is out. The notes from TestLive on the 16th are not included in this build in order to continue testing and ensure stability. We know issues such as the “light armor” journey bug are still on live but will push out fixes for these in a later patch. Thanks for your patience!

Hotfix (18.05.2018)

Summary

Hey all! Happy Friday!
To start with, you may notice these notes aren’t as long as the ones recently pushed on TestLive. This is because the branch on TestLive requires a little more testing due to the changes and fixes made. However, we did want to roll out the AFK system and crash fixes before the weekend. So here we are! This is version 97865/17844

Notes:
[list]
[]Localization fixes - text spills are now fixed for several item descriptions
[]Various crash fixes
[*]Introduced the new AFK system - players will be kicked after 30 mins of inactivity
[/list]

Server admins can use the following server settings for the AFK kicker:
[list]
[]KickAFKPercentage = 80 (integer value, between 0 and 100). The percentage controls how many players need to be logged on before the system starts to kick people. So if set to 80 then you need 32/40 players logged in before it will start to kick anybody.
If set to 0, the system should be off.
[]KickAFKTime = 2700 (integer value, in seconds). X is the amount of seconds of afk before a character is kicked, for example KickAFKTime=60 will kick people after 1 minute of afk
[/list]

In addition to rolling out new and various servers, this AFK system should help with freeing up space to those who want to get on a particular server. Please don’t hesitate to give us feedback on this or anything else you see! After further testing has been done, we’ll roll out another patch with the other fixes from TestLive.

“Get out…shoo.”

Hotfix (15.05.2018)

Summary

Hey all! Thank you so much for your continued feedback and reports. We will continue to roll out patch for all platforms to improve the game. Fixes include:

Redshell plugin removed
Server browser: PvP-F now shows as PvE-C
Fixed a crash in character creation
Fixed a problem where health went back to max after taking damage
Fixed auto-lock and dodging sometimes happening on the spot
Blunted Javelin no longer does concussion damage in melee (only throwing)
Elixirs and some other buffs no longer get cancelled as if they were healing buffs
Fixed a crash caused by lootbags
Fixed a crash that could happen when building near destroyed placeables
Fixed a crash in the decay system

In addition, South American servers #1976, #1986, #1996 have been moved to a new data center with better hardware successfully and are back up.

IMPORTANT:

This is a message for everyone who has had issues with their servers having really long loading times and respawns taking several minutes. This is especially an issue for servers running on machines without an SSD.

We have discovered an issue with the unconscious bodies that are loaded on a server restart. It is causing heavy load on the game database.

If you are having these issues, we suggest you turn off the unconscious bodies by adding the following to your servers ServerSettings.ini
LogoutCharactersRemainInTheWorld=False

We will be turning this off for all our official servers until a patch with a fix is ready. At which point we will remind you to turn it back on.

Hotfix (27.04.2018)

Launch Day Patch (08.05.2018)

Summary

Conan Exiles has finally launched! We started early access with a world map of just 15 squared kilometers. Now at full launch we’ve expanded to a full 40! This includes the vast dry desert, lush swamp to the east, the neutral city of Sepermeru and the gaseous Salt Lake to the west, and the molten volcano and frozen, snowy lands to the north. Whether you’re a returning player or a new one, you’re going to have a lot to discover in the new biomes. This includes deep and dark dungeons with treasures, forgotten ruins, monstrous creatures, and more we don’t want to spoil.

Important: Remember to remove mods if you’re unable to play/open the game!

Derketo

Now that launch day is here an entirely new religion will be made available to players. Derketo is the goddess of fertility and death, whose followers engage in sexualized and sometimes lethal rituals. Her dual nature makes her avatar a sight to behold: one half appearing as a beautiful woman, her body in the prime of life, while the other half is a rotting corpse and degenerated corpse.

Followers of Derketo will be able to craft a special knife, Derketo’s Kiss, that extracts unfulfilled desires from fallen enemies. These Slivers of the Unfulfilled can be used to turn deadly poisons into sweet honey, or when combined with insects, made into potions that will heal wounds and enhance the endurance of whoever drinks it. As their religious devotion grows, followers of Derketo can learn how to transmute vines into bread or oil into blood, before finally learning how to make the powerful Lusttaker, a sword touched by Derketo herself.

Volcano

Towering over the Frozen North lies the mighty volcano, with molten fury pouring across jet-black slopes. Those who dare challenge the crag can harness the power of Obsidian and discover a mysterious cult worshiping an unknown, ancient power. Within the volcano itself, explore the ominous light emanating from the Well of Skelos - those who brave its depths will be rewarded handsomely. Just beware the searing hot temperatures - who knows what ancient secrets lurk within! The volcano and its encounters are balanced for the most powerful of warriors to explore.

Swamp(o)

Follow the big river east and you will find the swamp. This huge new area offers deep jungles, wet marshes and a sunny coastline filled with pirates. You can build well-protected castles or even entire cities up in the massive trees of the swamp.

There are many new monsters to fight in the swamp and lots of places to explore, from the Pagoda of Boundless Lusts to Jamilia’s Liberty, a massive beached ship which the Black Hand pirates have made their home. There is also the Forgotten City of Xel-ha, the ruins of an ancient Lemurian city being devoured by the encroaching jungle and the Palace of the Witch Queen dungeon. The swamp has been made for characters between level 20 and 40.

Hotfix (28.04.2018)

Summary

We have a new build out on the live branch (94750/17645)! This build updates both server and client and includes the server hotfix from Friday related to performance.

Optimization

Removed log spam caused by particle effects that no longer run on the server

Bugfixing

Additional fix for “no owner” displayed on building and placeables. Please report any issues you still encounter
Fixed a crash related to decay system
Fixed a bug related to entering incorrect password for joining a password protected server and getting stuck afterwards if using a gamepad

Hotfix (24.04.2018)

Summary

Ceiling Tiles
With the help of the Testlive community we found out that there was a problem with certain types of ceiling pieces: Whenever you upgrade from a sandstone ceiling it will get a different collision box which will cause any placeable on top to lose its connection and be considered a floating placeable.

This is now fixed so that they have a unified collision on all tiers. With this fix going live now, anything placed on top of sandstone ceiling tier 1 tiles will have been lost. If you have lowered your placeable far enough into the ceiling, it should be fine. To add, all ceilings and wedge/triangle ceilings have this unified collision as well. We apologize for any inconvenience, but this fix ensures floating placeables will no longer be an issue.

The Purge

This patch contains a sizable update to the Purge, changing around which activities grant Purge points, how fast you accumulate these points, and how dangerous the Purge is. We’ve also fixed Purge NPCs spawning beneath and inside buildings.

The purge is currently set to activate between 18:00 and 22:00 on your server’s clock.

Purge creators now do a lot more damage to buildings. As an example, a Frost Giant does 67 points of damage to a player, but will do 30x to 40x that against a building. Up against a 100k T3 structure, a single Frost Giant will need some time to destroy everything, but a 10k T1 structure will be knocked down in around 10 seconds.

The Purge now has 6 difficulty settings:

1,2 are used around the southern river (can be resisted with T1 buildings)
3,4 are used in the center of the map and the swamp (can be resisted with T2 buildings)
5,6 are used in highlands, frozen areas and volcano (you should have T3 buildings to resist them)

Map_Purge1000×1000 763 KB

There’s also a new server commands for controlling the Purge:

“PurgeNPCBuildingDamageMultiplier” is a Purge damage modifier per difficulty level. The default setting for this will be 5x on levels 1 and 2, 20x on levels 3 and 4, and 30x on level 5 and 6. Currently you can not override these values from ini file due to an engine limitation on arrays in ini files but we are looking into a fix.

Secondly, we’ve created a damage modifier for player weapons. This is to prevent regular weapons like swords, spears and arrows from doing too much damage against a building when wielded by players. From now on you’ll have a hard time breaking into someone’s base with a normal sword. The consequence of this is that orbs, explosive jars and trebuchets will be more important for sieging and raiding again.

The new server setting “PlayerBuildingDamageMultiplier” modifies in % the amount of damage a player does against a building. The default setting will be 0.01%.

Friendly Tip: Server admins should add the following to their ini files to avoid unconscious players dying from thirst or hunger after being offline for extended periods of time:

PlayerOfflineThirstMultiplier=0
PlayerOfflineHungerMultiplier=0

Purge iteration 2

Changed which activities grant purge points
Changed the rate at which you accumulate purge points from 60 minutes to 15 minutes
Passive players will get a purge at least 1/week while very active players can get purged once per day
The purge is now better at analyzing the player base and finding spawn areas
Purge NPCs can now correctly detect and attack placeables (e.g. wooden barricades)

Update #33 (17.04.2018): Combat Revamp, Fast Travel, Farming and Purge

Summary

The next big update has arrived, fresh from the oven. There’s a lot to unpack and learn in this update, and we’re excited to show you what it’s all about. Besides the brutal combat revamp, you’ll experience the purge, journey across the map with fast travel, learn the ways of farming, and discover the many changes and adjustments made to better your experience in the harsh world.

Some players had an issue with the ESC key not working. A workaround for this was resetting keybindings, which we have forced with this update. If you’ve been using custom keybindings previously they will have been reset.

Combat

Yes! It’s here! Welcome to the new combat in Conan Exiles. Many of you already know what this is all about from playing on the TestLive servers, but we’re finally able to push these live. Here are some basics and things you may want/need to know:

Each weapon type has their own specific attacks and properties.
You will have light and heavy attacks. Heavy attacks, for example, use more stamina than light and are slower, but deal more damage.
Chain attacks of 4 can be made using any variation of heavy and light attacks but watch your stamina!
Dodging can be done in any direction now as well as be done in the middle of your attack to cancel it. This will still take stamina to do.
Once your stamina completely drains, you won’t be able to attack or dodge until full again.
Certain weapons, like the dual daggers, allow you flip backwards when pushing the block button (CTRL button by default). Throwing weapons, like the javelin, will let you hurl it towards them.
Kicks have also been implemented and work when you’re equipped with a two-handed weapon or one-handed weapon with no shield. Use these to your advantage, as they can interrupt enemies! This is done with the default CTRL button as well.
You can sprint with weapons/shields/tools again! Depending on your weapon, they will have different sprint animations.
Enemies have their health displayed to allow you to adapt and think about your attacks.
Target lock has been added! It can be toggled using the Q keybinding by default. When using this, you will face your opponent and can be switched between different enemies. This works at 20 meters max range. We have also added server settings to turn off target lock on the server so server admins can decide the type of experience they want to offer.
Weapons can deal status effects that can stack up to five times. A yellow trail, for example, will inflict a cripple debuff. We have also added a GUI option to turn off weapon trails completely.

The Purge

If you thought you were prepared before, you better check again! You’ll notice in your inventory under your character a purge meter. The more you and/or your clan builds, kill other players/NPCs, and plays the more this meter will fill. You won’t automatically get a purge when you go over the threshold, but as long as your purge activity score is above it, you have a chance for it to happen. For example, if you are on a dedicated server or local game, and you are the only one playing, the purge will only pick you. But on a server with, for example, 10 clans, 4 of which are above the threshold, you have a 25% chance to get it if you are among the 4. During the purge monsters, animals, humans, and others depending on the area, will appear and attack your home. Make sure your walls are well protected from the waves of enemies. On official servers purges will only trigger during “Purge Time” which is a subset of prime time, “Purge Time” is between 6 PM and 10 PM local time, all days. Admins of private servers will be able to adjust this time either through server setting GUI or modifying the serversettings.ini files.

In general purges become more difficult the further north your base is on the map. Higher difficulty purges will contain special bosses with unique loot, or special crafter NPCs that have unique recipes on them. You will need a combination of smart base design, thrall defenders, higher tier buildings and good teamplay to withstand the most difficult purges.

With this update we are launching purge version 1. This version is missing a balancing pass and also a couple of key features. With iteration 2 we will make the purges more difficult, and we may also add new purge types with other combinations of NPCs. We’re doing this in order to get as much feedback and testing on the Purge as possible.

If you find the purge to be too easy or difficult, you can change the difficulty as well as many other parameters in the options-menu. Later on private server admins will be able to modify the purges and customize them to be easier or harder as well as add new purge types.

Farming

By obtaining seeds from plants and making compost through the compost heap, it is now possible to plant and harvest your own crops. In order to craft fertilizer in the compost heap, you will need plant-fiber, rotten meat and bonemeal, which can be obtained by grinding (amongst other things) bone, claws, fangs or ivory in the grinder. For certain plants, you may need potent fertilizer, for which you will need to add ash and blood to the mix. By planting seeds and fertilizer in the planters, your crops will grow over time. In addition to this, should you want to decorate your land, a selection of potted plants have been added to the game, which are much less costly than the planters.

Updated HUD

The first thing you may notice when first logging in is the display. Health and stamina are now shown as bars as they’re essential to manage especially in combat. Stamina will replenish over time when not attacking or dodging, but you’ll see that health does not! This is where your kicks and dodges will come in handy to avoid incoming attacks. There are multiple ways to gain back health which include eating cooked food, using bandages, using potions, or unlocking certain perks.

You will see the newly added perks in your attribute window. Spending enough points in certain attributes will unlock advantages that will benefit you in the brutal lands; for example, the first perk unlocked in the Vitality doubles your breath timer when underwater.

Your feats window is also newly updated! Objects are now sorted and organized for easier navigation.

A new tab called “Stats” has been added. Here, you can get down to the numbers and see how effective you are against the environment both offensively and defensively. It will also display any buffs/debuffs your character has.

The Journey GUI has been extended from 4 to 10 chapters and can be disabled from showing on your screen through settings. This goes as well for gameplay hints, that shows various keys or gamepad inputs for climbing, fighting, building, etc.

Fast Travel

You’ll notice a nifty new placeable called the Maproom. Place this in a safe spot within your base and you can travel around the map! You will first have to discover the monoliths scattered across the lands and attune your bracelet to them before you can travel there. Don’t stay too long by one though, or you’ll gain corruption and end your journey there. It’s important to note that this is a one way ticket. You can travel from the maproom to an obelisk, but not the other way around.

Build Abandonment System Update

We’ve done several big changes to how the building abandonment system works. Firstly, anything placed on or near a building will become a part of said building’s decay score and decay at the same rate. This means you can now build smaller buildings in close proximity as well as standalone placeables like wheel of pain, altar etc and these will all be treated as big structure for purposes of decay. Secondly, the system will now check for and remove floating placeables left behind in the world after the buildings they were standing on got removed. Thirdly placeables stacked on top of placeables are now checked and correctly removed. Lasty, the updated decay system fixes a problem with players joining a clan and sometimes not being able to continue building on their existing buildings.

Additionally on all official servers we are changing the decay settings such that max decay value is 6 days after which the structure will be abandoned (any player can interact with and remove the structure), and after 1 day of being abandoned, the structure gets removed automatically by the system.

Patch Notes

We want to highlight that we’ve completely redone population of the world as well as added world bosses that grant access to legendary weapons. These world bosses drop keys that be used on chests you find and can open at level 60. The chests aren’t always near where a key is found, so keep an eye out! These chests will provide some legendary items with custom effects on them.

TL;DR

Respawning at a bed or bedroll will cut your health down to 50%. This is intended, not a bug. Respawning at the desert will give you 100% health. This is to prevent players from just letting themselves die rather than healing up.

Avatars

Changed movement speed of avatars. All move the same speed except for Set.
We’ve made other changes to avatars so they no longer instantly kill everything. They will no longer have their movements blocked by buildings and resources/foliage.

Update 30 (20.09.2017)- Temperature system update and quality of life improvements

Summary

Hey! It’s time to update. We’ve released a new patch for the PC version. Make sure you restart Steam to get the latest version of the game.

This patch contains three weeks of changes and gameplay updates, chief among them a quick revamp of the temperature system.

See below for the full change log:

TL;DR

Added option for locking containers (Containers owned by clan are lockable/unlockable for all members of that clan)
A map marker will now point to where you died
PvP death notifications should now appear when a player logs back in after being killed offline
Arrows can now be picked up by players unless they break on impact (If you’ve used an arrow to kill something you won’t be able to pick it back up)
When multiple players help kill a monster the XP is now distributed among everyone that contributed damage.
Thrall specialty recipes should now be in the recipe slots, not the Thrall slot
Fur can now be made into leather in a tannery
The screen edge effect for temperature (de)buffs have been modified to be less intrusive
Doors and gates will now close automatically after about 30 seconds
The Cry-for-Help radius of humanoid NPCs have been reduced significantly. This will make it a bit easier to break camps and not have to face hordes of enemies all the time (although it will still happen if the player is not careful).
Crafting times have been tweaked for most recipes in the game to about half. This change will be most notable for weapons and ammunition such as bolts and arrows. Some food items are also significantly affected
Dragonpowder and Explosive Jars no longer have decay timers
Added pop-up hint to Star Metal meteors when players try to harvest the outer shell with tools. Star Metal core can now be harvested with all tools, but black ice tools give the most resources

Temperature system changes

The temperature system will now change more slowly - meaning that moving from one area to another will still apply the same temperatures but it takes longer to reach the target temperature
Changed temperature system popups. Temperature system now progresses (from coldest to hottest); “Frostbite, Extremely Cold, Very Cold, Cold, Normal, Hot, Very Hot, Extremely Hot, Overheating”
Drinking from the waterskin and the water-filled flasks will now give a cooling effect.
Swimming reduces temperature by a small amount.
It should now be possible to eat ice and get a cold buff
Fixed damage on “Very Hot” buff, “Very Cold” buff and “Extremely Hot” and “Extremely Cold” buffs. The damage has been removed from the “Very” versions and slightly lowered for the “Extremely” versions
The screen edge effect for temperature (de)buffs have been modified to be less intrusive
Frost bite damage has been increased
The following items now provide correct temperature protection:
Sandstorm Breathing Mask
- Darfari Speaker Mask
- Leather Workgloves
- Climbing Gloves
- Climbing Boots
- Black Hand Vest
- Black Hand Trousers
- Relic Hunter Turban
- Relic Hunter Shirt
- Relic Hunter Gloves
- Relic Hunter Trousers
- Relic Hunter Boots
All of the above now grant anti-heat bonuses, except for the leather workgloves that give a +2 temperature.
Exile Heavy armor now increases temperature as follows:
- Normal: +5
- Exceptional: +8
- Flawless: +13
Exile Medium armor now increases temperature as follows:
- Normal: +5
- Exceptional: +8
- Flawless: +13
Reptile armor now decreases temperature by a total of -15

Hotfix (30.08.2017)

Summary

We have released a new patch, which introduces the first new changes to the sprinting and wielding system. There are also fixes for several big issues players have reported to us recently (like keyboard bindings).

Here are the full patch notes for this update:

Sprinting and wielding improvements:
Starting to sprint will automatically sheathe your weapons. We refactored this system to make it depend on the character state instead of the sprint keyboard/gamepad input. The benefits are subtle but this change allowed us to improve the handling of sprint when combined with other states like jumping and climbing.

Your weapons will autowield when you stop sprinting. You can override this behavior by sheathing your weapons manually with the wield/sheathe buttong (defaults to X on keyboards and Y on gamepads).

If you are in the air when you stop sprinting, you will autowield when you land.
You can continue sprinting after a jump by simply keeping down the sprint button. This works after landing from climbing and sliding as well. If you hold sprint down, you won’t try to autowield when you land.

Attacking while sprinting autowields now.

Pressing the wield/sheathe button while sprinting stops sprinting (and wields).
Increased the leniency of the turning clamps during sprinting. The player character will only get kicked out of sprint when attempting very drastic turns. Also, it is now possible to run diagonally (i.e. hold sprint, W and A) while sprinting without breaking out of sprint.

Characters now properly get out of the sprinting state if they run out of stamina or stop moving completely.

PS: It is still our intention to add an option where players can disable the automatic wield/sheathe behavior entirely. With that option, your character won’t be able to sprint unless you’ve unwield your weapons by using the wield/sheathe button.

PPS: It is also still our intention to treat certain tools differently than weapons so they don’t get put away when you sprint.

PPPS: We are looking into ways to show which weapons you have sheathed.

Character handling improvements:

Holding down the attack or block buttons during wield/dodge/knockback and other special character states will now attempt to execute the action when the special state ends. This change improves the smoothness and responsiveness of combat, specially when switching weapons, getting hit, blocking and dodging.

Some examples of what this change does:

You can now hold block during a dodge and the character will actually go straight into block when the dodge is over. You can do the same with an attack.
You can hold down block to keep blocking after you recover from a knockback/hit confirm.
No more having to press the block button again after getting hit.
This change applies to the wield action as well; you can press and hold attack while sprinting to execute an attack when the wield animation is over.
If you were harvesting with, say, a hatchet, you can press and hold attack while sprinting to autowield your hatchet and swing as soon as the wield animation is finished.

Dodge is now allowed during wield animations.
Equipping two items at the same time (which can happen during autowield and when you press the wield/sheathe button) will prioritize the animation of the weapon in the main hand instead of the offhand (i.e. your sword instead of your shield). This will improve the visual feedback in situations where it felt like your weapon wasn’t working during the wield action because you couldn’t see it playing a wield anim (your shield was playing it instead of your sword).

Other fixes:

Glass Flasks can now be filled at all water sources
Fixed a problem where you cannot rebind mouse buttons in the Keybinding section
Text input for message of the day is now easier to use both on PC and Xbox
Removed log spam for creatures failing to spawn
Fixed a client crash related to blueprint dependencies
Explosive jars are now gone from all loot tables, both chests and NPCs
Black Ice Crenelated walls now correctly deal damage to climbing players
Clan owner can now promote another member to Leader
Fixed a problem with loss of recipes/recipes going invisible. “Lost” recipes are returned to recipes window.
Exploding Imps now drop Explosive Glands again
Explosive Jars now perish after 24 hours. This is a temporary change (see below)
Dragonpowder now perishes after 30 minutes
You will now only get Tar when dismantling Explosive Jars
Added missing crafting station images
The Crude Wooden Bowl can now be interacted with properly.
We now show Attributes description when one of the buttons is selected with a controller.
Highland wine can now be crafted correctly
Fixed an instance where you would incorrectly equip previously equipped weapons.
Fixed inventory latency/freeze
Switching weapons in midair should now work again

Known issues:

The beehive, the fish trap, and the shellfish trap still use the old camp sidebar GUI.
Some types of undead deal incorrect damage. This will be fixed soon
Explosive jars have dropped frequently from chests and NPCs which have made them abundant. The 24h perish timer on explosive jars will get rid of excessive inventories. In the next patch the 24h perish timer will be reverted
We are adding support for locking chests an upcoming patch. Machines and crafting stations will stay unlocked
Selecting dye with the mouse doesn’t appear to work. Using hotkeys (G then Enter) after selecting a piece of clothing will make the dye menu appear
Crafting Glass Flasks makes the crafting machine stop after each completed flask, requiring you to turn it back on. A workaround is putting two moulds in the machine

Update 29 (16.08.2017): The Frozen North is now available!

Summary

Shake the sand from your boots and grab your fur coat: you can now travel north! With this update, we are introducing an entire new region for you to discover and enjoy, making the game bigger and better than before.

Check out the Frozen North launch trailer and our Dev Blog Here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c1gTnxVDgI

This frosty biome comes with new types of weather such as rain and snow if you want to escape the scorching sun and sandstorms. Beware, however, that with our newly implemented temperature system, you will need to be prepared for both! Be sure you have ample heavy clothing to warm yourself in the mountains, and light clothing in the desert. We have over 20 new dye colors as well, so you can travel in stlye or sport your clan’s colors.

Along with armor, you will also need to be well armed. Be on the lookout for new types of weapons and weapon materials like star metal. A new region means new monsters and wildlife including wolves, bears, frost giants, mammoths, and many more!

Further protect yourself from the elements and dangers by building your shelter with new resources such as black ice. Take note that the type of matieral you use is important for which environment you’re building in! Building has been made easier by learning building pieces in tiers, rather than individually. After completing your structure, you can select new furniture and items to decorate your home with such as ice boxes, stoves, and other machines to help you survive. Outdoors, you can place beehives and fishing traps to gain honey and oil.

If you’re in need of more supplies or looking for more action, you can enter the newest dungeons like the Abandoned Keep; make sure you are prepared for what awaits you at the end. This update also includes the new avatar, Ymir: Lord of Storm and War. Take control and decimate villiages and forts with his mighty battle-axe! We don’t want to spoil everything there is to see in this update, so bundle up and head on out!

TLDR

Avatars can now be damaged. Each attack against an avatar will remove some time from the summoning timer until the avatar finally disappears. The amount of time removed depends on the amount of damage done.
NEW CONTENT: Added a new weapon type: Orbs. There are four orb types: fire, poison, oil, water. Orbs can be crafted in the firebowl cauldron, by an alchemist thrall. Orbs create combo fields with a variety of effects. Different orb types interact with combo fields in different ways. I.e.: Demon-fire Orbs leave a patch of fire on the floor. Grease Orbs leave a slippery patch. Grease Orbs thrown into Demon-fire create a larger patch of fire. Orbs are designed to be T1-level demolition tools, but can also be used in combat for damage and area control.
NEW CONTENT: Added avatar defense. Tier 3 altars with an archpriest can perform a ritual that creates a large protective area around the altar. Any Avatar entering the area is blasted with divine fury. Projectiles are blocked by a small shield dome around the altar itself. The ritual lasts for 36 hours.
NEW CONTENT: Added drawbridge
NEW CONTENT: Added crenelated walls

Combat update: Poise values have been updated. Weapons now have knockback power according to the weapon type. I.e. all maces have the same knockback power, regardless of level. 2-handed hammer attacks do the same amount of damage for both basic and heavy attacks. Additionally, heavy attacks knock you down unless you’re wearing a full heavy armor set. Expect more changes to weapon functions and poise values as we keep working on this.

Armor should no longer protect you from fall damage

Balance and Gameplay Fixes

Avatars can now be damaged. Each attack against an avatar will remove some time from the summoning timer until the avatar finally disappears. The amount of time removed depends on the amount of damage done.
NEW CONTENT: Added a new weapon type: Orbs. There are four orb types: fire, poison, oil, water. Orbs can be crafted in the firebowl cauldron, by an alchemist thrall. Orbs create combo fields with a variety of effects. Different orb types interact with combo fields in different ways. I.e.: Demon-fire Orbs leave a patch of fire on the floor. Grease Orbs leave a slippery patch. Grease Orbs thrown into Demon-fire create a larger patch of fire. Orbs are designed to be T1-level demolition tools, but can also be used in combat for damage and area control.

Firebowl cauldron has been changed from an automatic combination machine to a recipe-based crafting station. They have become an alchemy station and cannot be used for cooking anymore. Alchemy items can be learned from the Firebowl cauldron feat, or crafted by certain thralls.

Special announcement
Some of the PvP Blitz servers are getting updated with PvP raid timers, only allowing players to raid each other between 5pm (17.00) to 11.59pm (23.59) on weekdays, and 10am (10.00) to 11.59pm (23.59) on weekends. These servers used to have avatars switched off, but with the new avatar defense features now being implemented we wanted to re-purpose them to be servers with limited times for player versus player combat.

The following servers will be named thusly:

Official server #116 - Limited PvP Time
Official server #117 - Limited PvP Time
Official server #167 - Limited PvP Time
Official server #168 - Limited PvP Time
Official server #169 - Limited PvP Time
Official server #273 - Limited PvP Time

Summary

Join the Exploit Hunters!
Throughout Early Access we would like to reward our community for bringing big exploits to our attention. One of the most important things we can do to make sure Conan Exiles provides a fair and balanced playing field is making sure we eliminate exploits as early as possible.

By working together we can more easily discover exploits which ruin the fun of playing Conan Exiles. So please tell us if you discover such major exploits, and you may receive a nice reward for your efforts and for helping the entire community.

What we are looking for:

Serious exploits which can be used in online play and on multiplayer servers. (This would for example be exploits which gave certain players big advantages in the game, like duplicating items or being able to build inside mountains/rocks.)

How to proceed if you find such a serious exploit:

Go to conanexiles.com/exploithunters and write a detailed test case for the exploit. You must describe each step needed to reproduce what you have found. Please include your PayPal email so we can reward you for your help. Also, please include your name or Steam user name if you wish it to be included in our list of rewarded Exploit Hunters.
We will evaluate all the submissions sent to us but only respond to and reward those which have revealed a serious exploit which we were not aware of.

If we deem your submission valuable you may receive a reward of between $100 and $500 sent to you via PayPal. The size of the reward will depend on how valuable we deem your submission. Every rewarded Exploit Hunter which has included their name or Steam name will be listed in the Tech Support and Bug Reports forum on Steam.

Please note, you will not be rewarded if:

We were already aware of the serious exploit you discovered.
Someone else had already submitted a report on the serious exploit you had found.
We do not deem the exploit you found to be severe enough.

A new patch is out! Please restart your games and update your servers to make sure you’re on the latest version. Before we get to the changelog we have an announcement to make:

Announcing the Exploit Hunters!

We’re still in the early days of our Early Access adventure and there is a lot work left to be done before final release of Conan Exiles in Q1 2018. The feedback we receive from you, the community, is invaluable to us in making sure we improve gameplay, squish bugs, and solve issues ahead of that final release.

One of the most important things we can do to make sure Conan Exiles provides a fair and balanced playing field is making sure we eliminate exploits as early as possible.

To help us with that we will soon be introducing the Exploit Hunters program. Here we will be rewarding players who provide us with information about the most serious exploits. With your help, we will be better equipped to handle potential future exploits which can destabilize servers and avoid the need for server wipes after serious cheating by catching them early.

We will be providing more information and details on the Exploit Hunters program next week.

Server Wipes

We are wiping all buildings on official non-blitz servers due to recent exploits (private servers are unaffected by this)
We are wiping all inventories (player backpack, containers etc) due to recent exploits (private servers unaffected by this)
We are keeping player character levels (but you get a free re-spec) due to feat changes discussed in TLDR below. Please give us feedback on these changes.
Server admins on private servers may perform a building and inventory wipe which keeps character levels by using the ServerCleanup.bat file in the gamedb folder to clean the current game database

HOTFIX 18.2.2017

Summary

A hotfix has been released. Please restart your games and update your servers.

We once again recommend that server owners change the admin password once their servers are updated. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause you and your respective communities.

Bugs and Fixes

Fixed a vulnerability with server administrator passwords

After this patch we will start the process of re-enabling BattlEye on official servers. It was always our intention to eventually do this after removing it from the official servers shortly after Early Access launch. When the official servers have been patched they will be restarted with BattlEye implemented.

Since Early Access launch we’ve been regularly updating and patching the game and found no correlation between server performance and BattlEye.

Re-implementing BattlEye will also help combat cheating and hacking on official servers.

Fixed an issue in the Land Claim system that could allow players to build too close to other players. This may result in some lost building pieces if they overlap into land that had already been claimed by another player.
We have had some issues with the game state getting corrupt on servers in certain cases. We have made the interactions with the game database more robust, and added regular checks for its integrity during runtime. We have also fixed some cases where this would happen, but are still investigating if there are other potential occurrences.

As counter measures to the system, and since already corrupted databases will not be automatically recoverable we have implemented a recovery system:

On server startup, if the game encounters a corrupted Database it will attempt to recover to the last database backup that is not corrupted. This will make the status of the game be reverted to a previous working world state, which may result in loss of progression. To help with this, the game will now creating database backups much more often.

These are temporary measures while we keep working to eliminate the database corruption altogether.

Thanks for your patience while we work through this, and a special thanks to all of you who have been actively helping us diagnose and debug these issues.
