Still no crafting folders or tabs for console players, this is getting ridiculous, the crafting menu is the worst thing to scroll thru, for the love of god please just add even one folder to separate building pieces from the crafting menu, we need something, ANYTHING to clean up our crafting menus …please, the crafting menu is a major headache

Have yall fixed the random crashes yet? This logging into offline mode then the server is annoying.

I dont see anything about the crafting menu for the work benches being fixed!

Work on missing items too please. Still getting the issue where items visually go missing from loot bags when dropped for another player and then mess up your inventory until you relog. This also leads to the issue where your inventory gets messed up and items cannot be equipped/unequipped. Also several undermesh methods/locations and combat exploits still exist. Feels like Exploithunters website is too saturated with nonsense to get to the real game breakers. You should just hire me as a volunteer as I love the game enough to always stay ahead and I’m a programmer as well. :wink:

What about having to remove the NPC from a crafting bench to show the whole list of items to craft

Do this mean that anyone with stacks of glitched arrows will lose them?
Will admins every fly around the Xbox official servers and wipe the clans meshing their bases right now?
Will you finally remove the glitched arrows so we can enjoy the game?

Thanks!

First, thank you all for continuing to fix and update issues. I love the pve part of the game. The issue with the armorers bench has happened on my blacksmith bench also. Waiting on download to see if it’s fixed too. Will put in a ticket if it’s not fixed. Have a great day,

This is a known issue that will be addressed as soon as possible, apologies for the inconvenience.

Hey there,

We’re aware of some issues with rubberbanding after teleporting. We’re working on a fix to be released as a part of a hotfix soon.

And it was only just shy of 27GB!!! why only half a GB on PC and under 2GB on PS4, but good ol’ Xbox LOVES redownloading almost half a game or better for the majority of updates. Remember the 60GB+ update with the music fix?!?

You’re praying to Crom at this point, buddy. They AIN’T adding it EVER. It would have been in the works since first DLC launch. Just sit back, take the 5 minutes to scroll down to your craftables and think of what else you SHOULD be playing instead of waiting to get to your needed item to craft. Every update, the first comment is where’s the folder? Why aren’t building pieces separate yet? When are you gonna do something about the craft menu? It’s a nightmare!!! And every update is lacking any fix or mention that they HEAR us on the issue. AIN’T HAPPENIN

Hey there I just wanted to post this on here so hopefully it’ll be fixed soon. When I kill something bigger than me i.e sand reaper, rhino, rhino king, scorpions and run through it or land or top of me I die instantly. When I respawn it says I was “killed by falling through the world”. Right now my game is unplayable due to this bug. I can’t do any bosses or harvest anything unless I slowly creep up to it and barley hit it to harvest once I’ve killed it. It happened multiply times as I tested this on various creatures. I love Conan and this game and it sucks that this happened hopefully y’all can help!! Please.

Yeah, its cool you fixed armorers bench. Now what about the rest of them that are doing the same thing?

I also get rubberband evrey when I teleport. I also get rubberband when on around trees or some else’s build and rocks. It’s happening everywhere.

@HrothgarFrosthound @Feywild Please be patient. The developers do look at the suggestion forums, they leave discussion of them up to the community and you’re encouraged to participate. This thread is meant for update-specific issues :wink:

@CibblesnNibbles is it an official or dedicated server the issue is happening on? See the wiki for where to report these issues:

As for the other issue, there was someone else who read over

Fixed an issue that would impede normally scrolling through the crafting options in the Armorer’s bench.

Try using cmd/ctrl+f. It’s been said that this issue also occured on other workbenches, but I don’t know if it’s been fixed.
