I always have a ping of 9999 on the 1300 server after the update.
A request to Funcom is that until you solve the ping problems, turn off the timers for the destruction of the bases.
That’s a good suggestion, I agree with that as another player and customer. 
The servers have always struggled with over 20 on. The UE5 update did not make it better, and now server population get to 35+ in the evening. When I log out for lunch i can’t log back in because the ping was above 200 when I logged out.
The servers are acting like they always have. at about 8-12 people the ping is already at 100. The closer to 20 on you get the closer to 200 you get. Even now, 5AM cst, there are nine on and the ping is pushing 110. The issue is; sort of, people are back to playing for the Enhanced version, but it’s the same old weak discount servers. Same thing that has always been an issue with Conan.
Once again, 8 years, still running afoul of the discount servers.
yup, exact experience.
EXACTLY! They have made MILLIONS off of Conan Exiles and Dune Awakening along with other IP… but they can’t find other server alternatives? “Discount Servers” is a good phrase to use! 
Like why tf does a region say America or Europe, and so on. And then people from these continents join servers in that “region” and the ping is as if you were from the Americas while trying to play in an Asian server or Oceanian server with the pings being in the hundreds. If someone is in the Americas unless they are in South America say “Argentina” and a server is in Chicago. Well, that would have a reasonable high ping say 100-110 MAYBE. But if someone is in North Carolina and a server is in NY then the ping should be no more than 50-70 maximum.
"Fun"com needs to get it together. They got servers sorted to an extent with Dune Awakening. They need to make the same move here.
NO EXCUSES!
servidores com ping alto, acima de 300, 400. não consigo logar em nenhum servidor oficial
its a horrible experience to try joining a server. First i must wait the server list to end searching to refresh it to get a ping below 200 and if i go back into the main menu the game can crash my pc. Why no other game i play is crashing my pc? Dune never crashed my pc and i can join without a problem any server i want but on conan nothing works
Posting this here in an attempt to get the information out were its needed.
Been almost impossible to reach my appointed EU server #1014 with Ping 300-450 ms.
This is not on my side, have great connection.
Like i’ve said before, the biggest issue this update has is that you’ll always have ZERO Progression: You find a server? Nice, you stay there as long as possible.
Oops, you crashed / left for the night? Good luck trying to reconnect there tomorrow; start over from the next best possible server you can find that has low enough ping for you to load in
And then it’s the same cycle over and over. Rinse and repeat. It’s just the G-Portal servers if people want to say it’s anything else well then they need to back up their claim. People have mentioned going onto private servers that have different server hosts. NO ISSUES with players being in the 30s consistently. Private G-Portal servers constant issues just as the official servers… that’s a pattern.
People are not logging in directly, people just are not logging out.
Seeing how far some players have gotten on a fresh server in a mater of days, they have to be playing 8-10 hours a day. Meaning they log in early; early AM, and play till they are setting there dozing. Not logging out for meals or taking time to GO OUTSIDE.
Would not surprise me if some are on 12-14 hours in a day. My time is mine, so I could be, but I have other things to do. And setting all day is how you lose toes or end up with sciatic when you get old. End up with those cankle things.
The issue is
1: Gportal has always been a discount server host. I’m of the opinion fucnom gets services at real low rates, or for free for advertising Gportal.
2: As far as I know your actual ping does effect the server. When I was alpha testing ACR one of the issues was and I don’t get it but, speeding up or slowing down people so everyone on the track existed in the same time. Everyone hated being on the track with some one with minimum ping because they jittered and jumped around, and you felt the game trying to adjust you to match them. I have no idea if that is what is happening here but it is an issue with any MMO were people have to interact. We have to interact in the same time even though pings may have us fractions of a second apart in real time. That may not sound like much but you can certainly feel it in game.
I think its the result of; game is renewed and more attractive for newbies, Siptah players have al their stuff and big new bases on EL servers now, daily more then 20 players at the same time online and the cherry on the cake, they turned that awefull Living Settlements back on, etc.
Just refresh the server list a few times it always works for me , had 300+ping then got it down to 70
It’s completely random. I was refreshing for almost an hour yesterday. To no avail.
There is an official advise for us though, to look for the game.ini file in ConanExiles\Conan Sandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor in which we are supposed to look for favourited servers’ IP. Then do a direct connect.
Such information is not found in the game.ini file, though.
So instead, open up your log in ConanExiles\Conan Sandbox\Saved\Logs and look for the date when you actually connected to the server. The IP is there.
So server #1502 when trying to join and the server being at 17 players OUT OF 40 SLOTS! The ping is past 300+. This is DISGUSTING on "Fun"coms part… PUBLIC SERVERS are UNPLAYABLE with these DISCOUNT servers. Playing with around 10 people or less there’s popcorning NPCs, enemies teleport all around while fighting, and when running around with others they are popcorning everywhere. More than 5 people in one spot crashes the whole server… this is so wild and stupid. Even Private GPortal servers are this way as well. So it has nothing to do with people’s “hardware” or “internet” or “verifying the integrity of game files” or whatever other excuse people from any side comes up with.
Funcom you’ve MADE MILLIONS from us. Enough with worrying about graphics updates, bazaar items added, or cosmetic DLCs for right now. Get better servers and optimize the game.
the pings happen even with 10 players so that is a mute point
On gportal I guess I can believe it. I’m getting lag post 30 players now in most cases on an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K with the pcores running at 6.0Ghz, 4x G.SKILL Flare X5 Series DDR5 (128GB total) running at 4800 MT/s, in UE4 I could host 70 players with minimal lag with npcs turned off, about 55 before performance even dropped in the slightest with npcs turned on, and we did hit 70 almost every raid.
EXACTLY!! Your point right there that debunks the following claims:
- Low end internet.
- Low end PC.
- “Need to verify integrity of game file.”
- “Make sure you are hard-wired to the internet.”
- “Need to update drivers.”
Lastly, while some of these points above could be an issue or all of the above. But… BUT. It’s clearly the servers. Your comment sharing those details proves just that. It’s the servers…
