Conan Exiles News

[p]Greetings, Exiles! [/p][p]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: [/p]

• [p]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.  [/p]

• [p]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!  [/p]

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

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

• [p]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![/p]

[p]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. [/p][p]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. [/p][p]Now, onto the patch notes:  [/p][h3]General Gameplay & Systems (All Platforms) [/h3]

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.
• 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
  

Exiles,

May 8th marks seven years since they first took your family and your riches and left you to die in the Exiled Lands. From the early days of your first sandstone hovel to the sprawling strongholds of today, surviving, building, and dominating with you has been an incredible journey.

We’re still hard at work improving stability and fixing bugs for the next release, but we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the occasion with a few things:
