Unplayable official servers on PS4 (extreme lag and freezing)

I simply can’t play in official PvE servers on ps4, it all have extreme lag and freezing. Even adjusting performance settings, the game is unplayable (my connection isn’t the problem). I bought the game and can’t play it online. I’m very frustrated, There is any prediction for solving this big problem? :sleepy:

Just note, the problem happens in official servers only. Non-official servers is ok. Why? I don’t understand…

Probably due to more players and large bases. That slows a server down. @L-C0ST4-AP

yea I love the sorcery update but it seems after every big update they have to send patch updates because they fix 5 things and 10 more problems occur. and I’m sure big bases and such don’t help but I remember when the game ran fine no texture loading in issues hardly no extreme lag and definitely very little crashing if at all even if I was at big bases, it would have to be a gigantic size now any sort of decent size bases causes extreme lag and freezing and I literally just froze looking into my furnace it has definitely been worse after latest patch this is extremely frustrating and I hope they fix this soon.

The freezing starts on character creator, large bases aren’t the problem. Try to create one in a official server, it’s sad…

I 100% agree because this has happened before just not this bad with lag and crashing they release a big update then have to patch it 5-10 times to get it running fine like it was before big update. I have to say this might be the worse so far though. I love Conan exiles one of my all time favorite games and I love to back funcom but they reaaaaally need to focus on this for consoles and get it fixed immediately. it is extremely frustrating and I’m 90% sure it has nothing to do with bases in fact I know it doesn’t. because I’m in my own base and I load constantly and I have crashed just looking into furnace running and freezing etc. big bases definitely don’t help but it’s not the issue. maybe it’s coding with the update, too much memory for servers, g portal, a compile of it all together I’m not sure but I just hope they get it back in the good state it was in before 3.0. I love the update but they reaaaaally need to focus on stability and performance and hopefully they will release a patch that makes things better soon.

I have same issue for monthes already. One time I woke up early and started game by curiosity I entered offical server and it was working fine no lags. But after 5 minutes there was restart on this server and lags came back. I think they have issue with servers not with game

Everything you say is true and valid! Except this that needs a bit correction. We cannot play single player, it is crushing! We cannot play on official servers, it is constantly crushing no matter where you are and what you do. But we can play on private servers perfectly as long as this server is low builded and low populated!
I agree that this is not enough, I agree, but it’s a solution to enjoy your gaming days and refresh or whatever you wish until the game is ready for us too. This is my solution fellow exile, I can test and enjoy sorcery with minimum crushing to zero some days and suffer less rendering issues possible too. Privates are hundreds out there, no one is like official servers, no one, but I can play :man_shrugging:.

@stelagel Do you play on a PS4 my friend ? Because even on private servers is Impossible to play with all the freezing and crashes on PS4…

Yes I do! Wyrms bane both exile lands and Siptah pve c (@sestus2009 and @nitecat servers), les copains, Siptah pve and yesterday I joined another French pve server exile lands that it starts something with FR and it ands with FR, but I don’t remember I accepted an invitation from my old pvp clan mates! They wanted to master sorcery so they will play a bit in this private server.
If you ask me if I have crushing, again my answer is almost 0, but almost!
They are not pvp servers, that the server has numerous reasons to crush! Playstation4 players that play pvp, I believe they suffer issues even in privates. The reason is populated servers and building through raiding that was always lagging and crushing players, always!
The server I almost never crushed above all was Wyrms bane Siptah! The reason I believe for that, it is that this server is brand new. I did enjoy a lot my gaming in others too 6hours one crush maybe, but in Wyrms bane Siptah maybe a crush in a week? I spend the last time 10 leather bags and casted 10 times the spell of harvesting, I lagged yes but no crush.
Then I summoned the bat, it took me back to my tp stone and I teleported to my base smoothly! In this server I have done 5 tier 3 surges with 0 crush and the npcs was dropping really fast from the sky . Do you know why? Zero builds around shrines, zero!
My friend, my only problem in these servers is the tweaked parameters, I have about 6k hours in this game and my favorite thing to do is play in barbaric vanilla mode. I love to go out naked alone and retrieve my gear on the way :rofl::rofl::rofl:. So you do understand that these servers give me zero challenge, BUT…
Online gaming is more than that. I go to purges with my friends, on missions, we discuss, we laugh, we share and this is what online game is, their laughter, their joy, my joy is music in my ears. I know these people almost 3 years now, they are part of my life.
Thank you for reading @L-C0ST4-AP, I wish you the same and more my dear friend and ofcurce I wish my return on official servers. I stand on your side my friend, think no different :+1:t6:.

all official servers have been unplayable for many years now, and it is all official servers, it could have been the best game ever, but they broke more and more in this game so it isnt not fun to play anymore, and why cant there be official servers with less raid hours, it is an joke that people have to be online near their base for 5 HOURS every day just to protect their base, yes it was fun for the first couple of years, but we also have a life with full time work/kids and other things to do.

Absolutely the problem. I got stuck near a players megabuild for more than a week logging on every few minutes trying to take a few steps away from the base.

Best suggestion I can give is absolutely avoid the areas with large clan bases and REPORT them for excessive memory use and excessively large structures. I often look through the walls and see they have absolutely nothing inside the bases. It worse when they do have things though.

Report megabuilds for crashing the server. They absolutely do not need that much space even with large benches and altars it’s not necessary. If they want to build a base that covers 3 grid squares on the map they can go build in single player.

When you log in DO NOT MOVE or look around and try to face the ground and let everything render and do not look at their structures.

Agree with you. Some of these builders are going crazy especially on pve buildings going across newbie river causes you to make large detours.

Yes the PVE server I started a month or 2 ago has the absolute largest tier 3 base I’ve ever seen going around the Mek Spire and it’s nearly impossible to come and go from there without a transport. It’s so bad I can’t get near the base to view the clan lol.
