Conan Exiles News

Greetings, Exiles!

We’re kicking off 2022 with our new update! 2.8 is bringing two oft-requested features: server queues and emotes for followers!

Coming with 2.8 is the ability to assign emotes to your followers! Whether you want them to look more alive, or stage the new and hottest choreography this side of the Exiled Lands, this feature will bring new life to your army! Along with it, we have worked on a bevy of new emotes you can learn by interacting with new locations on both game maps, both for human followers and for pets. Groovy!



On the other hand, server queues will let you join a server that’s full without the need to smash that join button for minutes! Instead, you will now be automatically sent to a queue with other fellow Exiles trying to access the same server and you’ll join once a spot is available! This is also customizable via server settings in case you want this feature disabled or tweaked in your private server.



And bundled with these additions come a myriad of new fixes and Quality of Life changes that we hope will make your adventures in the Exiled Lands (and Isle of Siptah) more enjoyable.

Thanks once again for your continued feedback and support and stay safe. After all, 2022 will be a very exciting year for Conan Exiles!

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MODS

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

• Server Queues!

Join your favorite server in style. While you can still frantically smash that join button, we offer a less barbaric solution by just letting you wait politely in a queue.
Keep that frantic energy to see your enemies driven before you and hear the lamentation of the other Exiles in the queue.
[hr][/hr]

• Follower Emotes!

Tired of your followers staring into the void while at your base? Give them some workout to do with our new feature!
Assign emotes to them, both previous and new, and inject new life into your fief!

• Server queues!
  
• Follower emotes!
  
• … new emotes!
  
• Tons of QoL and bugfixes!
  

[h3]Currently known issues[/h3]

• We are aware Microsoft Store users may not see patches downloading and installing automatically. The only known workaround is to uninstall and reinstall the game. Unfortunately this process is out of our hands, but we are pushing for a fix to it.
  

• Fixed a number of crashing issues. This should result in better game stability.
  
• Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash after starting a coop game.
  
• Fixed an issue that would cause rain to affect performance significantly.
  
• Fixed a number of crashes in the EGS and Microsoft Store versions of the game when downloading mods.
  

• Fixed a number of exploits regarding stamina consumption and undermeshing.

  - New UI elements now show your queued status, as well as your position in the queue.
  - Two new server settings have been added to control this new feature: EnableLoginQueue (default True), and DisconnectionGraceTime (default 180, in seconds).
  
• It is now possible to assign emotes to followers!
  - Humanoid NPCs can now generally play any of the existing player-learned emotes.
  - Scattered across the Exiled Lands and Isle of Siptah, you can now find new interactables that will unlock new emotes you can assign to your followers and pets!

Other ranged creatures have also been fixed, but they are not as terrifying as Spitting Spiders are they. (Edit 2022/01/26: Added mention to other creatures as well. Reason: Missing from patchnotes)
  

• Mammoths now rotate in a less janky way.
  
• Shaggai Horror pets now have a projectile for their ranged attack.
  
• Rhinos should no longer moonwalk out of combat, probably making this the most sad and disappointing patchnote line since the potion of endowment nerf.
  
• NPCs should no longer move when performing ranged attacks.
  
• The Undead nations of the Sanctuary of the Serpent signed a treaty and thus, Undead Archers and Undead Hyenas should no longer attack each other. For now.
  
• Fixed additional issues where thralls and NPCs would spawn with XX_Unarmed in their inventory.
  
• Kraxus will now spawn where he’s supposed to at the rate he’s supposed to, the Bastard.
  
• Thralls should no longer randomly fall through Nemedian Hatch Doors.
  
• Thralls that have been knocked down should no longer forget their guarding location.
  
• Thralls should now be able to engage with giant enemies correctly, instead of getting confused at the complex concept of a straight line.
  

• Fixed an issue where the Purge would spawn inside Treehouse bases.
  

• Gold nodes should now require a minimum of 2 chops instead of 1, to avoid Exiled Cryptobros making this the new gold-seeking fad.
  

• Replacing a building piece will now give you back the piece if it is at full health, or the equivalent dismantle materials if the piece is damaged.

• Unlocked fast travel locations should no longer be lost when transferring servers.

• Bravely pausing their hourly wheel of pain sessions, our #spellchekker team fixed another round of typos and grammar errors. Since there will probably be more typos out there that they missed, they’ve gone back to their mandatory exercises until further notice. #stillhiring

Greeting Exiles!

Something stirs in the air and a coldness grips your bones.

You sense a nefarious darkness growing within both the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah.

The veil between our world and the outer dark is starting to tear, and droves of undead stalk the land. Mystical pillars rise in dark rituals and the ominous chanting of sorcerers can be heard as whispers on the wind.

You can take on this new threat and fight the sorcerers and the unnatural undead they summon. Be on the lookout for rituals of dark sorcery as you explore either the Exiled Lands or the Isle of Siptah.

By stopping the rituals you may earn unique rewards, such as some brand new placeables or even the Skelos Cultist Master armor set of the sorcerers.

The event lasts from today, December 7th, and until the 10th of January.



This event introduces the all-new event system to Conan Exiles and more events will follow in the future.

Perhaps this is just the beginning? But the beginning of what?

The new Update 2.7 is also live today. It adds a lot of fixes and improvements, including a new Point of interest protection system, where the obelisks of the Exiled Lands will receive extra protection from building pieces placed too close.

Greetings, Exiles!

We’re unearthing Update 2.7, just in time to rattle and chill your holiday break!

Something stirs in the air and a coldness grips your bones. You sense a nefarious darkness growing within both the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah. The veil between our world and the outer dark is starting to tear, and droves of undead stalk the land. Mystical pillars rise in dark rituals and the ominous chanting of sorcerers can be heard as whispers on the wind.

You can take on this new threat and fight the sorcerers and the unnatural undead they summon. Be on the lookout for rituals of dark sorcery as you explore either the Exiled Lands or the Isle of Siptah. By stopping the rituals you may earn unique rewards, such as some brand new placeables or even the Skelos Cultist Master armor set of the sorcerers, starting today and until January 10th!



With Update 2.7, we’re adding a new Point of Interest protection system. This first iteration will prevent obelisks in the Exiled Lands from being blocked, and will destroy any interfering constructions until access is guaranteed. We’re also focusing on polishing the new Nemedian building pieces and cosmetic sets, with fixes to collision boxes and visual polish to minor issues with armors and placeables. Along with that comes the hinted at upgrade to the building pickup system, where any pieces that would’ve otherwise collapsed when picking one up will now be sent to the inventory!



And, what could be the highlight for many of you, we’ve finally delivered one of your most requested changes since the game’s release: it should no longer rain indoors! Any sheltered areas will now protect from the rain and you should no longer see your fancy rugs and furniture soaked in rain. Making those roofs work for it, you know?

Along with these changes we’ve been working on other fixes and general layers of polish to the game. We hope these improvements make your adventures in the Exiled Lands and Siptah more enjoyable, so you can focus on grabbing all that new loot!

Thanks once again for your continued feedback and support, and stay safe!

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MODS

Please remember that updates can mess with the functionality of your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed. For the purposes of testing, we recommend not using any mods when playing on Testlive.

Limited-time in-game event: Grave Matters!



The veil between our world and the outer dark is starting to tear, and droves of undead stalk the land. Mystical pillars rise in dark rituals and the ominous chanting of sorcerers can be heard as whispers on the wind.

Greetings Exiles! We have just released the all-new People of the Dragon Pack.

This DLC offers content from the kingdom of Nemedia and it lets you build stunning castles, decorate them with beautiful placeables and use new armors, saddles and weapons.

Want to add some new towers to your camp, or perhaps build something completely new in the Nemedian style, then this is the DLC for you!

People of the Dragon Pack is also available as part of the Conan Exiles – Complete Edition on Steam.


Build mighty castles and towering fortresses with the People of the Dragon Pack. Enjoy its exclusive medieval style with several brand-new building pieces, such as tall spires, a new type of window and roof.

The building pieces, armors, weapons, placeables and horse saddles of this pack are from the powerful kingdom of Nemedia. In the deep forests and tall mountains just to the east of Aquilonia, unyielding Nemedian castles dominate the landscape, and now you can build your very own in the Exiled Lands!

Decorate your castle with striking vaulted ceilings, a wide selection of carpets, beautiful reliefs, a cozy fireplace, beautiful books, figurines, a stunning boar statue or the mighty banner of the dragon.

[h3]People of the Dragon Pack contains:[/h3]
• 48 new Nemedian building pieces, including new options.
- An expanded full set of building pieces with the same stats as existing tier three.
• 15 new armor pieces in three sets, such as the Nemedian infantry armor.
- Light, medium and heavy sets with an epic end-game version of each.
• 12 new Nemedian weapons including a shield.
- Same power as iron weapons with an epic end-game version of each weapon.
• 32 new placeables, such as books, a flag, bed and fireplace.
- Craft them at the new Nemedian artisan bench.
• 3 new Nemedian horse saddles.
- Equip your horse with a light, medium or heavy saddle.

All the new content in People of the Dragon Pack is exclusive to this DLC and adds a host of new visual options but does not give any in-game advantage in power. All the new items have comparable stats to existing items.


Alongside the launch of the new DLC, update 2.6 is also live:

Update 2.6 contains many bug fixes, AI improvements and allows you to pick up your own building pieces! Just placed a piece in the wrong spot? Now you can pick it back up and place it again.
