Guys, another ending year, and I would like so much to see Conan updated for PS5, do we have any news about that, will it ever happen? ps4

At this point I’m inclined to say no chance. If Funcom were going to do it, it would have most likely been done when the Series X/S update was released.
Maybe they should first fix the game properly, then concentrate on secondary things.
Doesn’t the PS5 already struggle with Conan Exiles? I’ve heard its an improvement over the PS4, but doesn’t come close to running adequetely.
Correct… though it’s because we’re running a game optimized for ps4, not because the ps5 can’t handle it. It loads better, but some of the features and much of the textures and stuff pop in and out. The game has hit its cap and the ps5 can’t make it better. This is why we’re constantly requesting a ps5 optimization. The game was perfect prior to the sorcery update. Then it all broke again.

This is not just on consoles, as a pc player I experience the exact same problems.
I think the biggest problem with Conan Exiles is that minimum specs for pc and consoles at the time of release just wasn’t good enough for the game, so they have made a ton of optimization changes that over time have caused a degrade in visuals, rendering distance, check routines etc. in order to still keep it playable for the minimum requirements(outdated hardware)

That may be true, but it can definitely be argued that PlayStation got the biggest nerf.

What is good for ps5 is no longer good for ps4. Funcom can only raise the system requirements… out of the ps4 gen.

I can’t speak of playstation, but in our house we have 2 Xbox oneX with ssd drives, 3 gaming pc’s all way above recommended specs.
From my experience besides a few console specific bugs, we see the exact same nerfs to visuals after their optimization rounds, grass and other foliage spawning right in fron of you as you move, placeables that start out blinking purple for a second before spawning in and sometimes a few seconds after, textures that used to look more detailed suddenly looking bad close up etc.
You name it, pretty much everything I have seen getting worse on our Xbox has also applied to our experience on PC’s.
My pc is I9 9900K cpu, RTX2080TI 11 gb, 32 gb DDR4 3200hz ram, 2 TB Samsung EVO 970 NVME drive, it is a couple of generations old, but still far beyond what is needed to run Conan Exiles in 1440p at 60-100 fps or more with all graphical settings on epic.
Off course there is a difference between my pc and our Xbox or even the newest console of any kind in performance, my pc can easily outperfom any console, but still I see the nerf/degrades in the same way on both…Why?
I think the answer is that all their optimizations probably aren’t done differently between consoles and pc’s, their focus is on the minimum requirements of pc and consoles.
My guess is that is why they never made a special version for newer generations of consoles
Hate to rain on your parade, but Conan was optimised for Series X in June 2021. Go compare the game running on the Series X internal ssd to a PlayStation or Xbox One. World of difference. There was even a bloody trailer for it. Funcom Press Center - "Check Out the Xbox Series X|S Optimizations for Conan Exiles"

While I hate to say I agree, I do agree… it’s long outgrown the last gen and just doesn’t hold up well. The stability is garbage and it needs to end online services for PS4 and Xbox One soon. I think the main thing holding that back has been the slow adoption of current gen consoles due to covid shortages… and the blame is on scalpers, not Sony and Microsoft. Developers have been hesitant to leave behind last gen players.
The gaming experience difference between the 2 consoles is huge. But it’s not correct for ps5 to have this quality.
If we have this low quality now what will happen in 2 years from now? The game started on ps4 with unique performance, ps5 never witnessed the glory days of ps4.

No problem, I had missed that one, perhaps because both our xbox are of previous generation(Xbox one X) although we did switch the internal mechanical harddrives with ssd’s right after buying them back then, they are actually still handling the game pretty good for how old they are
That said, Xbox series X(new gen) did not get their own version of the game, they still share the same optimizations as basegame on all platforms from what I can read in your link, it doesn’t really take full advantage of the new Xbox generation aswell as the pc and playstation doesn’t have a special version for their higher end hardware
OSLO, Norway – June 8th, 2021 – In addition to the release of the new and massive expansion Isle of Siptah, the entire base game has seen significant improvements during the past few weeks. New combat moves have been added, as well as a new religion, and various quality of life improvements. In addition, the visual effects have been significantly improved.
While this benefits Conan Exiles players on all platforms, the visual improvements will be especially apparent for Xbox Series X|S players, with the game now proudly branded as Optimized for Xbox Series X|S. See the difference between for yourself in the new trailer Funcom released today.
I sort of agree, but what about those who bought the game, dlc’s + bunch of Bazaar items and cannot afford a new gen console, should they just be left in the dirt?
Rebuilding the game to take advantage of new gen consoles and pc’s much better hardware would probably require a lot of money and work which perhaps is better spent on making a new game from scratch(Conan Exiles 2?)
Take aim at the plain ps4 console and not the ps4pro. Getting rid of building for the plain ps4 console will have some light shown upon the ps4pro.
But… money wise are people going to do anything but garage sale the old box? Shuffling money around.
I think you’re right… =/ but hope brother, hope… last one to die!
It run, but not as good as on XBOX S X/S
I totally agree on this one, we tried on PS4 base and, unplayable… but PS4 Pro can handle better.
That’s really a good point.
I think ps4 players would be happy if a final version of the game was delivered, optimized for ps4. At least they could run the game which now borders unplayability.
