Hey everyone,

Today, we’re rolling out a hotfix to take care of the most reported issues with the Halloween update released yesterday. We want to thank our community for reporting these issues to us and for staying patient and positive as we fixed them.

In this hotfix we’re tweaking the game so it will be easier for players to see in the eternal twilight, while also balancing the loot drops from the Halloween meteors. The T2 doors are also getting fixed.

If it’s still too dark for you you can also tweak the following server settings (in game or in an .ini file) to the following values. This will make it less dark:

DayCycleSpeedScale=9.000000

DayTimeSpeedScale=0.10000

NightTimeSpeedScale=10.000000

DawnDuskSpeedScale=5.000000

If you do not wish to participate in the Halloween event, there will be a build available on our Testlive branch without the Halloween content, but otherwise identical to the current live version.

If you switch branches and play single-player, you might want to take a backup copy of your game.db file to avoid potentially losing your save data.

Server admins might also want to back up their server’s game.db file for people to be able to continue with their characters on your server, just in case.

How to find and copy your game.db Open Steam and go to your library

Right click on Conan Exiles and choose Properties

Find and select the tab marked “Local Files” and click the “Browse Local Files” button. A Windows Explorer folder should now pop up

Go to ConanSandbox --> Saved to find your game.db file

Make a copy of it in an easily accessible place on your computer

Once you’ve patched to the Testlive branch, simply drop the game.db file you copied before into the Saved folder, replacing what’s already there, and you can continue playing as you normally would

Changelog

Fixed T2 doors so you cannot walk through them

Removed Star Metal Picks, Dragonpowder and Skeleton Keys from meteors for balancing purposes

Meteor fragments that have been harvested or disappeared won’t leave a particle trail behind

Changed speed of day on official servers so it will not get as dark during the Halloween event

Added auto exposure to compensate for the darkness and make things a bit brighter

An equivalent patch is also being made for consoles, but we’re looking into fixing the spammy meteors first.
