Conan Exiles Enhanced - Community Update #3

Conan Exiles Enhanced - Community Update #3

Greetings Exiles,

This week, Conan Exiles Enhanced received its first patch, and thanks to all of you, the game continues to grow and improve!
We are committed to making the game better with each update to positively impact the overall gaming experience.

Online experience and server performance

Although server performance continues to improve, we understand that some of you are still experiencing issues with ping, rubberbanding, and server lag. With the latest patch, we introduced a Refresh button that shows the correct ping for each server and helps you find the perfect one.

We’re currently testing and adjusting more settings to improve online play on official servers.
Please continue to report any performance issues you are experiencing through our help center.
You can read more about how to submit reports here: [PC] Conan Exiles Enhanced Bug Report Guidelines

Mod compatibility

The new patch briefly rendered the community mods incompatible with the latest game version, resulting in the game crashing upon launch. We are taking additional precautions to prevent this from happening again with future game updates.

If your game fails to launch, try removing all mods, as a version conflict may be causing Conan Exiles Enhanced to crash. Community mods are updated regularly, and you can check for updates by viewing your subscribed mods on Steam.

Hotfixes and patches

Our newest patch was released on  May 19, 2026 4:00 PM and, among other things, it includes the following changes:

  • Improved server browser performance on filtered searches.
  • Server browser filters are now saved between sessions.
  • Ping will now be closer to the network latency to help players join servers close to them.
  • Implemented color dyeing for saddles.
    • We know that adding saddle dyeing to the core game has been a longstanding request from the community. As such, we would like to thank and acknowledge the time, effort, and passion of community members and modders, such as Testerle, who were the first to make this feature (and so many others!) available to the community through mods, such as Fashionist. Thank you!
  • Various exploit fixes.
    • We would like to thank our Whitehat community team for helping us identify and address exploits. The Whitehat team are community members who are security experts and love Conan Exiles. They want to improve the gaming experience for everyone. Thank you again for helping us!

Next month in June, there will be more patches coming. Prepare for more QoL improvements, bug fixes and a few cool things we think everyone will be excited about.

As always, full patch notes will be shared on the release day.

Thank you for being part of this wonderful community and for your full support while we continue to work on improving Conan Exiles Enhanced.

Conan Exiles Enhanced - Community Update #2

Greetings Exiles,

Thank you all for your incredible support with Conan Exiles Enhanced. It’s been an amazing first week, seeing so many of you jump into the game to resume or start a new adventure in the Exiles Lands! Together you’ve passed 47k concurrent players on Steam, a new 24 hour peak we haven’t seen since 2018.

Online experience and server performance

While many of you have a fantastic time with the game, with some seeing the same or better performance compared to Conan Exiles on UE4, we recognize that despite the completely new hardware Conan Exiles Enhanced is running on the online experience is still not where it should be.

From day one, the team has been working hard on mitigating the high server ping and latency issues with various hardware and game-related changes.
So far, we have increased the number of machines in high-traffic regions and remapped the servers globally to ensure that there are no hardware bottlenecks impacting the experience.

We have tested disabling the Living Settlements on a few selected servers and checked whether there are any major bugs or game issues that are causing the problems you are seeing.
Right now, we are working on more complex adjustments that will require a good degree of testing, which we intend to deploy as soon as it can safely be done. We will share more details whenever we can!

Hotfixes and patches

Our newest hotfix was released  May 13 and includes:

  • Legacy servers upgrading to Enhanced no longer need to update config files to address version compatibility issues.
  • Fixed Nudity settings
  • Fixed issue that could cause emotes learned from the start of the game and discovered in the world to be removed from characters. Unfortunately, any emotes previously learned in the world will have to be re-learned.
  • Living Settlements have been re-enabled on the following servers:
    • 1516 / 1942 / 1509

You can check out the full list of changes and fixes here: Conan Exiles Enhanced Hotfixes - #7

Next week, you will see the first game patch including various improvements and bug fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where filtering servers by favorites showed all servers as favorites
    • Filters are now saved between sessions
  • Improved server browser performance on filtered searches
  • Optimized inventory searches, which had a big impact on player spawning, especially when players have a lot of DLC available.

Again, full patch notes will be shared on the release day.

As aways, thank you for your continued patience, understanding and support while we work on improving the game experience.

Greetings Exiles,

We hear you - and we want to be upfront about what’s happening and why.

Migrating Conan Exiles from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5 is the biggest technical undertaking in the game’s eight-year history. Starting on Steam PC isn’t a choice we made lightly, and we know it’s frustrating for console players who may have been with us for many of those years. The honest reason is capacity: a simultaneous multi-platform launch at this scale would stretch the team too thin and risk a poor experience for everyone - and that’s not something we’re willing to risk for any of our players.

We also want to be clear: this upgrade is, and will remain, completely free. No paid edition, no ‘Definitive Version’ you have to rebuy. That commitment matters to us - but it also means we have to be disciplined about how we sequence the work.

Console players continue to have full access to the current version, including official servers, the Bazaar, and critical bug fixes. A console release hasn’t been ruled out - but before we commit to a path, we need to see how the upgrade lands and stabilize the experience on PC first.

We’re listening to your feedback. It’s shaping what comes next.

Greetings Exiles,

The Conan Exiled Enhanced version is releasing very soon on May 5th!

The merge of the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah on a single map means that all Isle of Siptah servers will be merged with Exiled Lands servers on May 4th, 2026 at 15:00 UTC.

This affects PC players across all platforms (Steam, EGS and Windows Store). You can find the list of all affected Isle of Siptah PC servers on this page.

How to prepare for the UE5 update?
The best way to prepare is to dismantle your bases and deposit the materials in the inventories of your followers prior to the Official server downtime on May 4th.
If you are in a clan, it is recommended that you leave the clan and use the thrall and pet trading posts to transfer ownership of followers to individual characters. Once the update to UE5 happens, you will be moved to an Exiled Lands server, along with your followers, at which point they can make your way back to the Isle of Siptah to rebuild.
Alternatively, you can simply wait until the update, at which point your characters will be migrated via Server Merge to an Exiled Lands server, maintaining character level, progress, followers, and inventory, but dropping them at a new character spawn point in the Exiled Lands.

For more information, please refer to our extensive FAQ from the announcement blog.
