PS4 Hotfix (02.05.2019) - PS4 Pro performance fixes, crash fixes and more

I’ve also started playing on day one, until lvl 54 and went back to ark due to friends. I paid for my game. Just because I started again two weeks ago doesn’t mean anything.

And Conan isn’t dead, it may be dying, slowly, but they never had a huge fanbase to begin with, and I personally believe it’s due to poor marketing on Funcoms part. If they market better, get more fanbase, and sell more consmetics then they will have the funds to pump put updates on the regular. It wasn’t until recently that ARK started getting fans back and due to that and people buying DLC they are now more active in the community, hiring new people all the time, and dropping updates/events regularly. Funcom needs money, not saying it as a bad thing but maybe more should be investing into the game if they want the devs to invest more in it. You can’t expect them to be dropping updates all the time. That cost money, servers cost money.

I kind of feel like they lowkey left this as an unofficial “feature”. A lot of clans were struggling with the zeal grind and people were quitting. I know a lot of big clans would probably wind of quitting over the grind of maintaining more than 1 bubble. Smart clans though through various bugs have pretty much stock piled zeal so even if they fix this they will still be able to pop bubbles for a long while to come.

And don’t forget that Funcom is still an independent developer. People bashing on them and ARK like they’re EA or something. I would take ARK and Conan over any EA game, any day. These developers have done a great job with what they have to work with and they’re still learning daily. Exiles is a bit different than anything they’ve worked on.

My server is invalid after patch now? And says full. Help i just wanna nerd out on my day off also i should probably note. Asian server

I do something similar that I found to work as well.

I favourited the official server so I don’t have to enter anything in the search.
Just change the type to favourites

Here’s what I do on the PS4:

  1. Open game fresh (not continuing from low power mode with game already open). You can be in psn offline mode.
  2. Start the game
  3. Wait for sidebar image to load where it shows status updates. Usually I wait an extra second or two
  4. Open online
  5. Hit square to skip (I found it to work either way but skipping saves from having to tap twice to pick PvE)
  6. Immediately pick favourites
  7. Move down to server name column
  8. Wait for server to come up (maybe takes a couple seconds)
  9. Select your server and connect to it

Now sometimes I will still get an error message about psn network once in a while but then I usually just go back to main screen and start with step 4 again

Hope some combination of stuff helps!

I used to do that as well but can now only get it to work as I described, and never get the network error anymore since. I wonder if it has something to do with NAT type? It’s definitely a network issue somewhere and it doesn’t seem to be completely from Funcoms end. I notice issues of the sort with other games as well and it starts to make me believe it’s either a Sony issue directly OR a porting issue on Funcoms end. Hopefully it all gets resolved in time. I have high hopes for this Developer.

Not sure why it didn’t tag you in my end

PS4 pro here, before I would get a lot of sound bugs like non-stop heavy breathing often, after patch I’m getting a lot of sound delay now for example often times when I jump I can here myself land a good 2-3 seconds afterwards, likewise when I run it sounds like someone is right behind me. It also seems like bases load in a lot slower I’ve run into quite a few walls that didn’t load in til I was running up against them and were invisible took a good 10 seconds or so to load in. Dont remember it being like that before patch.

PS4 PRO:
BOOST: TURN OFF
This happens on co_op and offline.
I have sounds issues NPC stuck, wandering around not able to make them fallow me or move. Purge meter does not show full and then that’s when the sounds start’s to skip. I think the biggest issues is when I die the Re-spawn counts down but does not load me back it just spins most time have to restart the app.

TS to fix the issues
I uninstall and install the game then waited for the patch which did not fix any of the issues. Please help! I love the game! But these issues make it hard to enjoy it. Here are some screenshots. Please help!

Thanks @NVR_Lucky and welcome to the forums. Sounds like the same issues so unfortunately it seems we’ll have to get a good ssd or wait for the team to figure out something that helps. I’m leaning towards the former.
@Eldrich sweet! was it hard to replace the internal drive? Haven’t quite decided to do that or get an external one. (Wife hates clutter :roll_eyes: lol)

It was super easy, just had to remove few screws and download an update to an usb stick, anyway there is a good guide about that on Sony website.
Also keep in mind that after swapping the hdd, If you buy a 2,5" enclosure you can use the original hard drive as an external one. I’m using mine as a backup driver for the desktop, and it’s pretty good tbh.

Not exaclty sure what you mean by being in psn offline mode but i cant favorite a server if none appear for me :frowning: i tried to do this but go into the history still no luck

You can hide/show your psn profile status (like online or appear offline).

Some games that came out before that feature was added or even later ones have issues with network connections sometimes if you are appearing offline. So some games you can’t appear offline if you are trying to play online and have others join you or whatever.

I’ve tested it with this game and no issues appearing offline.

And yeah I guess if you can’t get an servers stall then kinda tough to favourite one :weary:
When you do get your server on the list make sure to favourite it. Or search for the name as was also suggested

Good luck !

Ahhh im always online, and thanks i need all the luck i can get. :frowning: my friend is away today so he cant invite me to play

Both issues have been fixed in Testlive. They’ll be released once that patch goes live.

Could you try revalidating your licenses through the PS settings?

Asian servers have not been updated yet due to our publishing partner in that region being on mandatory holidays due to the new Emperor. Once they’re over, all servers will be running the same version.

Yes sir i just tried that with no hope still

Can’t play since update. Crashes at first cut scene. Great…

What region are you on? Also, just to confirm, have you tried booting another online game and opening its server browser, then coming back to Conan Exiles and see if the browser now loads correctly?

Hey @PrinceLucius

Please send the crash report through the PS dashboard once it prompts you to so our team can look into it.
Otherwise, could you try either rebuilding the system database or reinstalling the game just in case something went wrong?
