[2021] Funcom Launcher is live (2021-03-24)

Greetings, Exiles!

With update 2.3 live since last week and hotfixed yesterday we have now activated the new Funcom Launcher on the live game. It will from now on run automatically as you start Conan Exiles from Steam, and mainly adds two pieces of functionality which we hope you will greatly appreciate:

• Mod management prior to starting the game
• A “Continue” button option which skips the start-up videos (once assets are loaded) and start menu, taking you directly into the game on the server you played on last - or your solo or co-op game if appropriate

Additionally there are some useful links provided, such as patch notes, these forums, and our social media channels, and we of course aim to have interesting and frequently updated news/content.

Please do share feedback and suggestions with us, and of course any bugs you happen run into with it. We have some additional functionality on the backlog, but would like to hear your thoughts and ideas before we decide what to work on first.

Are you perhaps launching with Steam in big picture mode? The launcher doesn’t currently support controller input, and using that mode usually indicates a controller is being used so we then skip the launcher.

It’ll also be skipped if Steam is in offline mode.

If you use the “Continue” button - which admittedly is not (currently) valid for all situations - there will be fewer clicks, not more (except the very first time). We hope to add additional functionality to it over time. Feedback and suggestions is very welcome. Changing Funcom ID noted.

Besides that, visibility on what is displayed in the launcher is of course a big point, and we hope the updates you will see there over time will be of interest.

Aha, I gather it just didn’t push the small update for the activation immediately to everyone. Thanks for the update!

Hi there! Could you provide some details on this? What exactly happens, or not? Does the launcher itself not show, or does the game not launch when you click the “Launch” button? Do you get any error message?

Thank you for the additional info. Can you please try run the game executable (ConanSandbox.exe) directly? It’s located in… [edited…]

Edit: not that one! I meant the one in \steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Binaries\Win64

Hey @Ashawna

Could you try verifying your game files to see if this fixes your issue?

To verify your files, right click on Conan Exiles on your Steam library, then go to Properties, Local Files, Verify integrity of game files.
