That's supposedly been going on for a couple days on some servers (inviting or kicking), but I haven't seen that be the case on the servers I play.

I bet that clan invites/dismissals update perms on every single clan own item rather than querying use based off of a group as the item is interacted with. It's just stupid enough to explain the crash.

EDIT: The only reason this is my guess is a lot of others with beefy servers are claiming it just bogs the thing down then goes back to normal.

I went to rent a server from gameservers.com and they have none in North America yet.

Can someone recommend another provider?

So, in single player mode, is there any way to save characters and/or worlds?

I was thinking of Co-Op with a friend and I wouldn't mind starting fresh, but I also kind of don't want to lose the character and world I'm working on in my current single player. Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure you can just start your current game and have your friend drop in.
You can start fresh by building in some other area and limiting what recipies you use.

Good grief ya'll build fast. Plz don't raid butts n dongues.

EDIT: Also any goons left out in the cold by that other guild is free to join Butts and Dongues. Just bug Rhyme, Inkel or Titts Mcgee for an invite. One of our dudes is building a ziggurat but most of us are churning out a fairly defensible base with good access to fun things. The time of goon on goon violence is probably mostly not quite all the way behind us as the server fills with pubbies.

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
Goons are the only people worth fighting if you want to actually fight. I've yet to meet a pub that is actually good at combat, and the only thing saving them is Conan's technical bottlenecks of lag/dropping frames.

I guess I'll pimp my server here. Some of Bad Games Crew are dicking about on it. I normally don't enjoy these games but the building part of the game is surprisingly well done and scratches that lego itch from when I was a wee lad :shobon:

5x Harvest Rate (might drop this down to 3.5), 3.5 XP Rate, Lowered Encumbrance so you can carry more poo poo only to lose it to those drat hyenas.

Dear Exiles,

A week ago we made the tough decision to end the partnership with our previous official server partner (see statement from 03.02.2017 for more information). Since then we’ve been working hard on getting new official servers online. You have been incredibly patient with us in this matter and we wanted to reach out and express our thanks for your patience.

We also have some good news for you. Today, when the next patch is released, we’ll start the process of bringing official servers back online.

First 81 servers will be going up in the US, with 31 European servers going up tomorrow. Servers will start with a player cap of 40, but this will increase as we monitor performance on the new hardware and are able to ensure an acceptable level of stability and server performance. The plan was for players to keep their progress, but we encountered some instances of corrupt data. Be prepared that there is a chance your progress has been lost.

We are still waiting on hardware for servers on the west coast of the US, South America, Eastern Europe and Oceania. We will be receiving more hardware over the next few weeks and these servers will go up when the hardware is available. We know a lot of players in these territories are waiting for the official servers come up and we’re working hard to make that happen. We truly appreciate your patience.

We also wanted to make a comment about server settings: The settings on the official servers are not “the way we intended the game to be played”. We intended for server admins to create a wide variety of servers with different settings to players could choose a server that best fit their playstyle. We high encourage you to explore the thousands of player-run servers that are out there to find a server that suits you best.

Once again we thank you for your patience.

Your cross awaits, exiles.

Best regards,
The Conan Exiles team

Looks like the officials will be up today, some of them at least.

I kinda liked what we did on the EU server but what is the long plan there? I've only seen like five different people online. All that wall building is kind of pointless if there's nobody that's ever going to attack it.

I am wondering if I should try out one of the official servers. They should in theory always have lots of players, right?

Just updated to the last patch and restarted. Another Nitrous-Networks customer reported some issues post patch, but luckily we were not affected.

(Edit - turns out the other guy had no issues too, was only too impatient).

It's too blocky for my taste - the beauty of this game is that you can make buildings which do not look like socialist housing projects from the 1970ies.

I went through a ton of stone/wood so far trying to figure out some basic round structures to make stuff look good. Thatch roofing large buildings remains a nightmare, the game needs something like a support beam if you want to build wide thatched roofs. Currently you can work around it using an inserted ceiling supported by stone pillars. The sandstone ones look kinda meh and for interiors a less massive wooden support structure would be great.

For example getting narrow roofs right, without leaving the corner a flat roof.

Is there a way to make 90° degree corners with thatched roofs ?



Another thing I'm trying to make prettier are large, non square rooms - the inverted Thatch roof needed here, has to be anchored somewhere, forcing you to insert a ceiling which is kinda ugly.
