excerpt from above quote.

I tell you what @Jimbo, I am going to take your advice, and transfer the game from my external drive to the internal drive when I get home today.

I will report back tomorrow with the results.

Just lurking these days but very glad people are still saying it.:

Thanks Guys.
Still waiting for that Update/Patch that could be considered a stable PS4 version.

I took my PS4 offline and just for giggles scrolled past Bazaar and BP tabs. There was a black screen (in place of the Bazaar obviously), with the text ā€œunable to access online store.ā€

Understandable, I had disabled internet on that PS4, then the game locked up.
Let me re-iterate the Game locked up while tabbing past the Bazaar Tab on an offline game.
Probably just a coincidence.

I wouldnā€™t say perfect, because in this day and age thereā€™s no such thing. But it definitely needs to run decently. King Kapa canā€™t be invisible. Tents and Sepermeru counters need to show, textures canā€™t start loading in cycles after you play for a while, etc. The last one I solve by reloading the game. Yesterday night it passed by itselfā€¦ but it always comes back.
Iā€™m sure they are working on it.
As for PS4, they need to make a final patch and call it quits. A final PS4 stable version of the game OR make it work somehow. But something needs to be done, thatā€™s for sure.

I honestly do not understand what has changed that made PS4 version so bad. Before Siptah the game was okay. There were some FPS drops and lag (the character flying above foundations was a usual thing, but it was tolerable as it always got back to normal after a minute or so in the game), but the game worked fine. I was building large bases as big as this:

1920Ɨ1080 2.87 MB

Full album: Conan Exiles base - Album on Imgur

Highly detailed inside and outside. Like, some rooms were simply cluttered. With all needed crafting stations and a lot of thralls inside. And it worked FINE. But then something happened, and now I canā€™t build even a tiny base with 2-3 crafting stations without introducing heavy lag and texture streaming issues.

  • Every time I log in I have to wait for like 30-40 seconds for high rez textures to load
  • Whenever I make a turn around my base I always see low rez textures on all objects, and I have to wait for high rez textures to load (5-10 seconds)
  • Frequent random high rez textures disappearance. You just run, and the ground suddenly turn into a low poly low rez piece of ā€¦ graphics.
  • When you make sharp turns not far from a base, you always see black textures here and there (landscapes, objects, NPCs, animalsā€¦).
  • When you run back to your base from a distance, I have to wait for 1-2 minutes before the base fully loads and becomes intractable.

And there are like 0 reasons for this to happen. Graphics didnā€™t become better on PS4. The map is the same. The models are the same. Pre-Siptah CE was much much much better in terms of performance on PS4. Yeah, the game was lagging next to the giant bases. But now it is lagging next to tiny basses as well. And itā€™s getting to the point where it becomes intolerable.

Update

Following the advice of @Jimbo , I decided to move the game from my external drive to the console drive.
That took approximately 30 minutes.
I then disconnected my external drive, restarted my PS4, and rebuilt the database.

I then played for about 3 hours.

I would say that while there were some marginal improvements, it was still not a good experience overall.

I froze twice during this game session, once when I pulled out the Construction hammer.

I will let the footage speak for itself:


Have a good day.
