Yeah we broke something. Thanks for the reports. Been looking into this for awhile and we seem to understand what is going on.
Short version is that you can play on the new version using the ‘testlive’ branch on the normal Conan Exiles client. Unfortunately the Testlive Client will not work with the new version. There is an issue with the Funcom Live Services where it isn’t allowing the Testlive Client’s steam appid to connect. I’ll continue looking for work arounds.
This should have also broken last week also, but there seems to either have been a bug in that version, or we messed up when uploading the version to Steam. Some of you might have noticed that when you launched the Testlive Client last week it actually showed that you were playing on the Normal Client in Steam. Still investigating to see why this was happening.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I know swapping branches from live to testlive isn’t fun. We will continue to work on a work around and a new version that will prevent this from happening in the future.
