[2021] 🚨 2.4.4 Critical Issues Workarounds

Yeah, I understand fiddling with systems files is not an acceptable long-term solution for this issue, but in the interim it seems to be working for a lot of folks. We’re investigating the issue internally but a formal solution to the issue is not available at this time.

For what it’s worth, it looks like this is an issue that pops up with Unreal 4 games, and is not unique to Conan Exiles; we’ve seen similar reports from games like Valorant, PUBG, and…Bloodstained? Which I didn’t know ran on Unreal; and reporting that the OPENSSL_ia32cap variable change has worked for users experiencing crashes on startup.

Hopefully we’ll have something soon. In the meantime, thank you for your patience.

We suspect that many of the freezing issues being reported today, June 2 2021 (while loading in, or just seemingly randomly during normal gameplay) are tied to the most recent patch that was released earlier today. We’re working on a fix now, aiming to have something out tonight assuming all goes well with the build.

Yeah, unfortunately no dice tonight. We tried a bunch of things and pushed some builds but that was to no avail. We’re going to have to pause this for now until folks are back on work hours tomorrow.
