[2023] Age of Sorcery Performance Patch (2023.02.07)

Greetings, Exiles!

We’ve been working on a addressing several performance and stability issues reported over the past weeks, as well as a bunch of other general issues. Game performance and stability should improve on consoles and older hardware as a result. We’re continuing to monitor performance and stability and we’ll continue work on making Conan Exiles run as smoothly as possible on each platform.



We have also addressed an issue regarding the Latrine placeable. However, some accounts that previously purchased this item bundle might not pick up the change automatically and need a push on our end to move things forward. If that’s the case for you please submit a ticket to our Help Center[funcom.zendesk.com] and make sure to select “in-game purchase” as the issue type.

Thank you for your support and here’s to a smashing 2023!
