Public Beta Client - Patch 1.3.0

[Dana]

Greetings, Exiles!

Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen your feedback, discussions, and requests about bringing back the public test version of Conan Exiles. Your passion for the game and your willingness to help shape its future have not gone unnoticed.

With that in mind, we are happy to announce that the Public Test version will reopen with update 1.3.0.
The Public Test Client for Conan Exiles Enhanced will typically be open for a few weeks before the planned live release date to help identify any critical issues or edge cases that might not have been discovered earlier.

We believe this will complement our established QA processes and provide us with the opportunity to address critical issues before the patch is released and inform the development team about the work needed for immediate post-release hotfixes.

Conan Exiles continues to grow through the partnership between our development team and the community. Your feedback plays a vital role in helping us identify issues, refine new features, and improve the overall experience.
Please make sure that you submit any bugs encountered on the PTC in-game using the F2 key and provide as detailed description of the issue as possible.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We remain committed to working alongside you and delivering meaningful improvements with every update we release.
