Like most of you on PS4 or PS4 Pro, I’ve experienced that horrendous lag and stuttering while playing Conan Exiles since the previous update. The lag had become so bad that moving became a frustrating endeavor. Well, I decided something had to be done so I played with the settings.
I already had it set for performance which didn’t do jack. However, while in my single player game, I selected the “Gameplay” tab looking for something that might be affecting the game. I UNCHECKED, “Show Journey Steps,” and “Show Weapon Trails.” I then backed out of the settings to play my game.
Wham, alcazam, the game ran smoother than I’d ever played it before. All lagging and stuttering vanished. Combat was now sleek and smooth without me freezing in place. Yah, occasionally while moving it will lag for a sec or two as it’s rendering the environment, but that’s always been a thing even in other games.
I don’t know why those two options have such a dramatic impact on the game, but unchecking them fixed my lagging problem on my PS4 Pro. I felt I should share the experience so others could benefit.
If you’re presently experiencing the problem, try unchecking those options and provide some feedback to let me know if your issue was resolve. I’m curious, but other players may benefit from someone else’s input on the matter as it relates to this fix.
