We’re releasing a patch where we’ve bundled in a few fixes dealing with some pending issues, such as AI pathfinding in the Well of Skelos, neverending combat music, some additional hate list issues, as well as server browser problems.


Thanks again for your ongoing feedback and support, and stay safe.

Please remember that updates can mess with your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.

  • Fixed additional hate list issues in the Warmaker dungeon and the Unnamed city.


  • Purge NPCs should no longer try to teleport inside a building when they can’t find their target.


  • Fixed an issue where Favorite Servers would not work. They can now be filtered using the Favorites filter.
  • Steam query port for dedicated servers should work as before.
  • Added a few changes in regards of how mods are downloaded when required to join a server.

Greetings Exiles,

We’re deploying an emergency hotfix aiming to take core of some of the critical issues that have arisen after Update 41. In particular, these fixes should address the problem with “lost characters” some players have experienced after playing with the new update. We have implemented measures to prevent this from happening again, and we have added a system to merge the old character with any profile that lost access to it even if those who got affected by it proceeded with the creation of a new character.

We have also addressed a number of crashing issues related to Windows 7, connectivity and logs, as well as optimized some settings to mitigate some of the stuttering problems reported by some players.

With this hotfix, we have also ironed out some remaining issues with the server browser, such as servers with "???" ping (they will now just show it temporarily while they're getting pinged) or listings that would cause a connection failure.

We would like to apologize for the frustration these issues have caused, and we would like to thank profusely all of you who helped us track down these issues by sending feedback and helping us test out some of these fixes.

Thanks for all the support, and stay safe.

Please remember that updates can mess with your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.



  • Fixed a number stuttering issues.
  • Fixed a crash that would occur when starting the game without internet connection.
  • Fixed a crash related to a log file.
  • Fixed a number of Windows 7 game crashes.
  • Optimized telemetry rates.


  • Fixed an issue where some players would be forced to recreate their character despite having one in that server. This should restore access to the old character for those who lost access to it, but access to the new duplicate is no longer possible.
  • Fixed a number of issues resulting in the server browser not showing correct information or that would prevent correct access to a server. Servers might still momentarily show "???" latency while they're being pinged, but it will update as soon as the process ends.

Greetings Exiles!

Today we’re releasing our new update, focused on re-balancing a few aspects of the game. We’ve focused on followers and world bosses, making thralls slightly less of a powerhouse, but also toning down bosses’ health pools accordingly. The goal of these changes is to increase player power compared to Followers. We’ll continue to look at ways to re-balance the game, and we can’t wait to show you what’s coming in the near future.

With this update we have also fixed many of the issues that affected the avatar system in the game, fixing some exploits that abused them as well as re-balancing some of its core mechanics. They are still not enabled in official servers, but we will let you know in advance once we flip the switch during the upcoming weeks.

Additional to these changes we have also implemented the Funcom Live Services into the game that aims to create a smoother user experience while playing online, as well as removed Denuvo from the game. And together with all these changes, we have also bundled fixes for crashes, server optimizations, some exploit fixes, fixes to Argossean pieces, gave the Abyssal Remnant a wake up call and much more!


Thank you all for your ongoing support and feedback. Stay safe!

Please remember that updates can mess with your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.



  • Introduced a number of server optimizations for code and logs.
  • Added a number of optimization and database maintenance features. This may decrease the size of database files.
  • Fixed a number of crashing issues.
  • Removed Denuvo from the game.


  • Fixed an issue where rules of engagement of a server could be overridden to cause unintended damage to structures.
  • Fixed an issue where certain pieces could be stacked.


  • Implemented a new Funcom Live Services system. This includes functionality for an in game Friends List and improvements to the Server Browser.


  • Fixed alignment issues with Argossean Vaulted ceilings.
  • Fixed collision issues with Argossean beds.


  • Fixed an issue where follower commands would not function correctly in certain sections of the Sunken City dungeon.
  • Fixed a number of issues with world NPCs regarding the hate list.
  • Fixed an issue where followers would not teleport correctly when leaving a dungeon.

  • Fixed an issue where thralls would not damage other thralls with ranged attacks.
  • Fixed an issue where players could get stuck inside a rhino’s mesh.
  • Adjusted leashing distance for the Red Mother. She can now travel a longer distance before returning to her initial position.
  • Fixed an issue where thralls could be commanded to damage other players, but could not be damaged back.
  • The Abyssal Remnant went out of its slumber and is engaging player characters as intended again.


  • Purge NPCs should now respond correctly to targets placed on an elevation.

  • Reduced melee damage by an average 40%.
  • Reduced ranged damage by an average 30%.
  • Removed the penalties for thralls who use attacks outside of their specialization.
  • Reduced the HP for world bosses, dungeon bosses, and group content bosses by an average of 35-40%. This brings the engagement length of high level PvE content to similar values as before this patch, but increases the contribution by the player.
  • Avatars should no longer be able to damage structures inside a protection dome.
  • Players are now vulnerable to projectiles while summoning an avatar.
  • Avatar summoning time has been increased to 60 seconds (from 20 seconds).

Separate TestLive Product on Steam

We heard your input regarding the inconvenience with having to switch back and forth between the main game and our TestLive servers. To make it easier for you and because we really value your testing and feedback, we added a separate product for the TestLive server on Steam.

If you own Conan Exiles on Steam, you should now see a separate Product called “Conan Exiles - Testlive Client” in your library which gives you the option to install an additional instance of the game specifically for the TestLive servers. Please be aware that this will prompt you for a full additional installation.

We are aware that not everyone wants install or has space for two full installations. For those of you who don’t want to play through the additional TestLive Client, you can still access the TestLive servers through our old method.

Greetings, Exiles!

We’re releasing a new hotfix addressing some of the most reported issues after our latest update. In particular, we’re focusing our attention on some server crashing issues that have been reported over the weekend, as well as a few problems with followers where they would die out of falling damage, or follow too close. We’ve also sneaked in an exploit fix and a visual fix to an issue that would cause nearby entities to move as if they were stuttering.


Thanks for your continued feedback, and stay safe!

Please remember that updates can mess with your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.



  • Addressed a number of server crashes.


  • Fixed an exploit that would cause a server to crash under specific circumstances.


  • Fixed an issue where followers would die of falling damage
  • Adjusted collision on horses and rhinos to avoid them bumping the player when on follow. We’re working on a better solution for these and other pets.


  • Fixed a LOD issue that would cause NPCs and wildlife to move “choppy” at lower distances than intended.

Greetings, Exiles!

And congratulations on surviving yet another year in the savage and astounding Exiled Lands. While you have matured, acquired new skills and left an everlasting impression on your surroundings, the entire world of Conan Exiles has evolved with you.

Today we mark our second anniversary by taking a closer look at the past year in The Exiled Lands:


GIDDY-UP!

Mounts were the most requested feature of them all and they went live on December 5th of last year. Horses can now be captured, trained, mounted and, in true Conan Exiles style, used for combat. Make the ground tremble and your foes shiver, as you charge towards your enemies, spear in hand!


NEW END-GAME DUNGEONS

Exactly one year ago The Sunken City and the Sepermeru Silver Mine were made available for only the bravest adventurers. Since then a further two dungeon locations have been revealed. You can now uncover dark secrets in the ancient Wine Cellar and test your strength in the Warmaker’s Sanctuary, both of which contain unique treasures.


PVP REVAMP


While a number of changes have been made to further improve upon player versus player combat, the most noticeable change is probably that of the Battle Standard, allowing the creation of gladiator arenas, even on PvE servers. Fear not, however, participation is voluntary.


RP LOVE


Whether or not you are a roleplayer, emoting at your friends and taunting your enemies is always a delight. Several new emotes have been added, as well as new war paints, outfits, buildings and placeables.


NEW WEAPONS AND ARMOR



Hundreds of new weapons and armor pieces have found their way into The Exiled Lands, including the savage Great Axe of the North and the chivalrous Poitain Cavalier armor.


NEW DLCs

Architects of Argos, Riders of Hyboria, Debaucheries of Derketo, Blood and Sand and The Riddle of Steel were all made available during the past 12 months, each with their own theme of new building pieces, placeables, weapons and armor. DLCs do not affect gameplay balance or provide any in-game advantage, but grant you further cosmetic options.


TWITCHCON



TwitchCon in San Diego in September gave us the opportunity to meet in person with many members of the community. It proved once and for all that Conan Exiles players are the coolest, friendliest and most badass people on Earth. Thank you to everyone who came, who also got an exclusive look at our published title Moons of Madness and upcoming hack ‘n’ slash Conan Chop Chop, and we hope to see you all again as soon as the state of the world permits it!




COMMUNITY CREATIONS
While we’re proud of the work we have put into Conan Exiles over the past 12 months, we wouldn’t be anything without our amazing community. We are constantly blown away by your creativity and contributions. While we want to spotlight more of our modder and content creators going forward, we picked a small range of examples to show case here. Thank you everyone for sharing your creations with us. We appreciate all of you.

First up is “Blast to the Past” a series by Tavern Tales, showcasing the potential of Story Telling and Roleplaying in Conan Exiles. You can check out the first episode right here:


Everyone loves Neebs Gaming and so do we. They have their own Easter Egg in the game which you might have discovered already but did you know they made an official Conan Exiles Song? It’s super catchy!


And we can’t NOT include something about spiders..

PixelCaveGaming creates ongoing amazing content and this beautiful Tree Village they’ve built is no exception:



Michele Tosoni, tells use the story from a different perspective for once, namely that of a Shaleback.
We loved that approach.



WHAT'S NEXT FOR CONAN EXILES
The past 12 months have been exciting, but we’re even more thrilled about what comes next. We have several quality of life improvements in the works, as well as additions deriving from the rich Conan lore. We’re looking forward to sharing these plans with you shortly. Till then, have fun in The Exiled Lands and may your enemies forever tremble at your feet!

Greetings Exiles!

Coming hot on the trails of our previous content patch, conveniently titled Followers I, and as announced in our producer letter, we feel now ready to deploy on all platforms our next game update: Followers II!

This update stems from a month-long collaboration with our Testlive community, that kept us sending feedback over four revisions and helped us improving the update we’re releasing today. Among these changes comes a very long and oft-requested feature, AI stances! We have also added a command system for your active follower, which will let you give direct orders to your companion.

There’s more changes and improvements that come with these new additions that will generally improve how AI reacts and interacts in the game. We have also included a couple of commonly requested quality of life changes that will make your adventures in the Exiled lands even more amazing: you can now have a companion and a horse active at the same time, and while riding you can also drag any unconscious NPCs!



With this new update we are also releasing our newest cosmetic DLC pack: The Architects of Argos! Build stunning cities and gleaming temples of shining white marble. Adorn them with elegant statues and refreshing fountains to make your base look more impressive than ever, and follow suit with new mount saddles, armor pieces and weapon sets! You can read our announcement to see what’s included in this new DLC pack.



Thanks again for your amazing support, and stay safe!

Please remember that updates can mess with your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed.


New follower behaviors!
You can now give your followers a brand new set of engagement rules and tactical preferences to better suit your playstyle!



Accessed via a new option in the interaction wheel, you can now assign different behaviors to your thralls and pets. Divided into two sections (Engagement and Tactics), this will give you better control than ever on how your armies react to incoming threats.
Please note that these new options are for your thralls and pets who are set as base defenses and not actively set as your follower (to see which new changes apply to active followers, you can skip a few sections and go straight to the new Follower Command System!)

Engagement behaviors

Under this new menu, you can now choose and customize different rules of engagement for each of your followers. These new options are:
  • Guard Area: Follower will only attack when a hostile engages with them or any friendly presence within their detection radius.
  • Guard me: Attack those that directly attack you or those hostiles that you engage with in combat.*
  • Attack all enemies: When subtlety isn’t part of your master plan, just let your armies know about this option. They will engage with any hostile that enters their detection radius, old-school!
  • Attack nothing: If you want them to know engaging with any threats might be above their gruel pay-grade, choose this option. Any follower with this behavior will not retaliate against hostile activity.
  • Attack and Chase Distance: You can set at which distance your thrall or pet will detect hostiles (Attack Distance), as well as the distance they might move (together with some new aggro systems) from their designed guard spot while pursuing their target (Chase Distance). These two settings open a new submenu with a range of options, from Lowest (5 meters) to Longest (50 meters).

Tactics behaviors

Within this section, you can set which tactical choices will be preferred by your followers:
  • Stand and defend: With this option, your followers will stay firm and keep the designated position against any hostile activity.
  • Prioritize melee: Followers with this tactic assigned will try to deal with enemies up-close and prioritize equipping the shortest range weapon they have available in their inventory.
  • Prioritize ranged: This tactic will make your thrall opt for long-ranged engagements, prioritizing ranged weapons in their inventory when attacking an enemy.

New Follower Command System!

By Crom! You can now give direct orders to your active companion. Politely ask them to move, or rudely ask them to annihilate any hostile targets within the press of a button!

Aim and press the assigned input (X by default) to move your companion to the designated location or attack an enemy. Double press that key to make them stop any activity they’re engaged on (and double press again to make them resume that activity). Press it three times and you will ask your companion to return to your position.

You can also hold the command button to open a new radial menu where you can select any of these settings individually!

Some important Quality of Life additions!

We’ve been listening to the feedback you’ve all been sending us since the release of the mounts update and we’ve integrated the two most requested changes! You can now have an active companion as well as your trusty steed, as horses don’t take the active follower slot anymore! And while you’re out and about on your ride, don’t forget that you can now drag any NPCs you’ve left unconscious!

New cosmetic DLC pack available: The Architects of Argos!

Build impressive cities and temples with the Argossean building set. It includes vaulted ceilings, a new and unique way to build tall pillars (with bottom, middle and top pieces) and special attention has been paid to the insides of buildings with the inclusion of new placeable pieces. You will also get your hands on three stylish new horse armors, three fresh armor sets and nine new weapons, such as the Argossean Great Axe.

  • Fixed an issue where NPCs would not attack the player while standing in a particular spot.

  • Falling on spikes should no longer negate fall damage.


  • Stamina cost for dodging has been reduced for medium and light armors.
