The Game Won’t Start

If you check the game for errors, in many cases you will not see anything and there is no error message. But before we get to the solutions to such problems, let's see the system requirements for the game. Even if Conan Exiles is not really finished yet, the system requirements are quite high. If you want to enjoy the Survival game without errors, you will need. Your PC must meet the following requirements, so you can play the game easily or enjoy it without problems.

Unfortunately, for some problems of Conan Exiles you may have to wait for a patch.

If you are already stuck at the start of the game or get a black screen, then only the CTRL SHIFT ESC combination usually helps you to end the process of the game manually in order to restart the game.

Fix Server Problems

Many players complain that they have removed from the game spontaneously. New installations don’t work very well, if you’ve faced with this issue. Then one possible solution to fix this issue is:

- Go to yours Steam-page.
- Press "Go to the top of this page".
- Choose Server.
- Select Conan Exiles.
- Sort the servers by alphabet and search for your server.
- Go to Join and Refresh until the game displays the player list and then set Auto-Join.
- The game will now start up and automatically join the game after a few seconds.

Another problem may be that no server is displayed. In this case it can simply be an error in the settings. Look for the Combat and Community, where you must set to All. In addition, you should set the filter to "Internet".

C++ and Unreal Engine 4 Error

This problem is usually caused by non-updated versions of Windows. Follow these steps:

- Start Windows Update.
- Restart your PC.
- Install the Visual C++ Redistributable-File for Visual Studio 2015.
- Install Conan Exiles now.

If you encounter performance problems, occasionally a reboot of Conan Exiles helps. This is especially true when you receive a message that optional parameters must be activated. The problem may persist despite a restart. In this case, start the game as administrator and it could be fixed.
