Conan Exiles - Andy B

Greetings, Exiles! 

We’ve been hard at work at the tinkerer’s bench, and we’re ready with the fruits of our toils: The August Update includes a slew of bugfixes, optimizations, and quality-of-life improvements for Conan Exiles, as well as some new content and goodies to delve into: 

  • Better pathing for Living Settlements NPCs, improved performance during Purges, a “Coup de Grace” truncheon fix, and multiple streaming and loading optimizations and fixes--among tons of other improvements.  

  • Introducing the Dark Dregs! Find light in the darkness in a fresh twist on a classic dungeon experience, available for a limited time from now until September 19th. New challenges and rewards await those who brave the depths!  

  • Dark Dregs replaces the original Dregs while it is active, and is accessible through the same entrance. 

  • After the 19th, it will join Bounty Hunting and The Sacred Hunt as rotating events and will return for set intervals in the future. 

  • The Black Lotus Bazaar has new delights for the fashionable and discerning Exile! Look forward to new bundles like Khitan New Year and the Vanir Cabin!

As we’ve continued our work on Conan Exiles this year and focusing on the overall health of the game, we'd also like to provide an update on the direction we're taking future updates. 

We previously talked about making Conan Exiles better and not just bigger. We’ve seen this decision resonate with many of you as well. As part of that effort, we are moving away from the Age and Chapter structure which was about making the game bigger. We will continue to work on fixing long-standing bugs, make tweaks to existing content and add more quality of life changes to the game. 

Now, onto the patch notes:

A new hotfix has been released. Read below for the full changelog:

  • Fixed splitting item stack from the hotbar, causing items to go missing
  • Made objects easier to build with construction hammer while standing under a low ceiling (aka "View Obstructed" bug)
  • Fix for "Continue" option not working in the Liu Fei quest
  • Fix for Freya sometimes refusing to join the player for the hunt
    • We will continue to monitor and explore this issue but this update includes an initial fix.
  • Added DBNO, Living Settlements, and the Age of War Purge to the Event Log, and made the Event Log more transparent with information
    • Note: The patch will reset the Event Log Visibility server settings, which need to be configured again by server admins. To give more granular control, it has been split into 2 settings (PvE/PvP).
    • The settings for official servers are: PvE - "Owner or Admin", and PvP - "Admin". With this configuration, recorded PvE events (such as a crocodile killing a thrall) will report the full information to the Clan users. However, recorded PvP events (such as a player killing a thrall) will only report "a player" and not the player's name.
    • Known Issue: New event log lines currently only display in English. This will be fixed in a future update.
    [/i]
  • Fix Tavern Patrons occasionally teleporting to 0, 0, 0
    • Specifically, this addresses some NPCs being assigned invalid coordinates when spawning to approach the tavern, resulting in ending up in limbo.
  • Fixed "house pet" style pets (such as cats and turtles) becoming aggressive
  • Switched the hunger and thirst indicators on the UI back to their intended locations
  • Various crash fixes
  • [/list]

    Greetings, Exiles!

    The new update is out now! Featuring fixes and tweaks of all scopes and size, we’re focusing on improving your overall experience in the Exiled Lands. Let’s go over some highlights of today’s update, and for the full patch notes, click here or below:




    The Stygian Legion have abandoned their stronghold within the Exiled Lands, and the Dogs of the Desert have reclaimed the Ruins of al-Merayah. This means the keep is gone, and the area has been refitted back to being a Dogs of the Desert NPC camp. The Jhebbal Sag cave shrine linked to The Sacred Hunt is still intact and available.

    al-Merayah was a consistent source of performance and stability concerns, so we made the decision to raze the keep and return it to being a Dogs of the Desert camp.

    Stamina received adjustments, with the aim of meeting in the middle with feedback about stamina costs being too high. The cost of attacks is being halved across the board, meaning you’ll be able to perform a full combo with two-handed weapons with only 100 Stamina. Stamina Regeneration delays and the ‘Exhausted’ state return with similar values from before some of these changes:

    • StaminaRegenerationTime = 3.75
    • StaminaExhaustionTime = 3.75
    • StaminaOnConsumeRegenPause = 1.3
    • StaminaOnExhaustionRegenPause = 2.75
    • Restored the Exhausted state when you run out of stamina.



    A compass has been added! The new Wayfinder feat allows you to craft a compass; as long as you have it in your inventory, a new heading indicator will appear next to your temperature gauges under your health bar.

    Companions: Liu Fei’s PvP prowess is being addressed and is no longer functionally invulnerable. Freya’s woes with hogs are also bieng addressed.

    Crash fixes for various situations.

    Building hammer placement preview should consistently snap to buildings.

    There’s a ton more in this update, and for the full list of changes, read on here:

    Slay and Survive, Exiles
    Conan Exiles - Andy B
    Greetings, Exiles!

    We hope you’ve all been surviving and dominating 2025. It’s been a little while, and it’s time we gave an update following our commitment from our last Producer’s Letter.

    Our next update is coming on March 25 with a ton of fixes and changes, big and small. Before then, though, we wanted to preview and give notices about a few important changes:

    • Based on consistent feedback regarding how it impacts performance, the Stygian Legion is withdrawing from al-Merayah Keep, to be demolished and removed permanently. The Dogs of the Desert have reclaimed the area, drawn to the cave shrine linked to Jhebbal Sag that remains intact.

    • Stamina is getting readjusted, also based on your feedback about stamina costs being too high. We want to meet in the middle - the cost of attacks across the board is being reduced by 50%, but regen is being increased to (mostly) their old values.

    • We’re adding a compass! Unlock the Wayfinder knowledge to learn how to never get lost again. Once crafted, simply keep it in your inventory and you'll see a new heading indicator next to your temperature.

      We’re also looking at fixes for issues with companions, living settlements, building placement, and more! Also important to note: there is not a Public Beta this time around, but we may run them again for a future release.

      That’s all for now; thanks for reading and see you on March 25!
    Conan Exiles - Andy B
    Greetings Exiles,

    A new update is now available, focusing on addressing load times, crashes, and more! Please note that not every bug and issue are created equal, and we’re hard at work on more fixes for the future.

    A new Mod Dev Kit version is also available!

    Read below for the full changelist:


    • Load times for getting in-game significantly shortened.
    • Fixed various crash bugs (such as at the end of the intro cinematic, continuing a single-player session from the Main Menu, killing unassigned rescued thralls, and more).
    • Fixed various erroneous undermesh kill zones in Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah.
    • Unconscious enemy thralls no longer disappear when assigning one to be converted in a wheel of pain.
    • Artisan Tables will now recognize Carpenter Thrall bonuses.
      Fixed Artisan tables so that only smelters and tanners will work at them – in the context of Living Settlements – as these are the only NPCs that actually provide a bonus for this workstation.
    • Chairs used by thralls can now also be used by players after the thrall leaves.
    • If a player logs out while resting in a bed or sarcophagus, getting out will no longer break the player's functionality.
    • Friendly Fire multiplier no longer affects fall damage.
    Conan Exiles - Ymir
