Hello, i have a question, when i start the server, is starting, but all of the start spawn point failed to start :/ and i can't join the server. how can I fix the problem ?
Mine installs in the Servers file even though I pasted the Conan folder's directory, and there is no Start Server :( I tried twice just to make sure I didn't mess it up, but it seems to not be working the same as this.
While CGNAT helps alleviate the IPv4 address exhaustion issue, it can pose certain limitations for users, such as difficulties in hosting certain services, problems with peer-to-peer connections, and potential issues with online gaming or VoIP applications that rely on specific ports being open. In some cases, users may need to request a public IPv4 address directly from their ISP to bypass CGNAT restrictions for specific purposes.
Hello, I'm in France. When I want to connect to the server I just created, it tells me that the connection with the host has been lost. It also says that the server has 9999 pings, even though I have a good fiber connection. (I host the server locally on my PC)
@@orilo09 IP, depends which IP are you looking for? Ports you can find those in the video description. Your public IP you can google "What is my ip" for your private ip you can open up cmd and type in ipconfig.
@@luciandev Thanks, that's the public IP I was looking for. But when I connect using "direct connection", I get the following message: "Connection timeout. Unable to find the server".
It is possible yes, as long as your computer can handle it. Keep in mind if your want your server to run 24/7 means your computer will need to run 24/7.
Got a little issue, created server like u done and try to invite my friends to server but first of all i don't know on what ip should i invite them. Tried on Official ip (doesn't work), on my public ip (doesn't work). So i've just don't know what's going on. Is Hamachi kind of solution for that?
Did you open your ports in your firewall? You can use a software like Hamachi yes anyone who wants to connect to the server needs to have the software and in the same room (Hamachi Room) don't forget even the server needs to be in the room.
You're using the machine IP and not your public ip correct? If your using a public ip this can create a loop that your router doesn't know how to handle thus giving you a high ping or not being able to connect at all. You can fix this by using your machines local ip.
I've been playing for days with my friends without any problems, but this morning I had lag and problems with website loading, I opened the server and the ping showed 9999, I entered via direct connection, when I enter the server I get a lot of lag and a lot of rollback, my friends don't Only me can access via direct connection, what could it be? Could it be because my network is just bad today?
This seems to be a common issue with Conan. It seems to happen when you try to connect to your server using your public ip instead of your local ip. If you direct connect with your local ip you should be good and everyone else would need to use your public ip of course. This is assuming you have enough resources to host the server.
@@hastmeS99 Still gonna make a reply with an answer in case anyone else needs to know. Here is how to set the map your Conan Exiles server uses: Edit this file: ../ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Engine.ini Add these two lines to the bottom of the file: [/script/enginesettings.gamemapssettings] ServerDefaultMap= Depending on the map you want to use, add one of the following to the end of the ServerDefaultMap= line: Exiled Lands: ConanSandbox Optionally, for the default map (Exiled Lands), you can simply remove the added lines from the file. Isle of Siptah: /Game/DLC_EXT/DLC_Siptah/Maps/DLC_Isle_of_Siptah Save the file and restart your server. Your server will now use the map you have set.
My server age and ping appears "???" and "9999" and my friends can't connect. I made all the steps and port forwarding in router. Any tips? I can connect via Direct Connection, my friends can't
@luciandev6630 Yes. DMZ on Modem and port forward on router an Static IP. I tryed to connect directly in modem with port forward, nothing changes. 1 or 2 weeks ago, when I used the Xbox PC Game Pass version I could set a server and my friends could connect. Now I purchased the steam version and don't work. I will give up and find a server to play with they. Thanks for the tutorial and pacience.
Anything we need to do if we've already had this setup prior to the latest Conan updates? I had this all running last year, but wonder if it will work now.
pretty much in the first steps of the video where you launch steamcmd and do force_install_dir login anonymous, etc when I installed the server it's the exact same to update it.
I have two questions, my server shows up but when I try to connect to it it times out, the ping is 999, and the server log has many failed to start spawn point errors, what am I doing wrong? Also once I get there server to work can I replace the files with my single player lan co op world to start off where I left off?
I just figured it out, if you change your ports by one number then it allows the pc running the server to connect to itself. If you do not have port forwarding enabled you also have to use direct connect. That allowed me to join my server and my family over the same wifi. @@luciandev
If you need to know your server's ip address you can open up your cmd and type in ipconfig if you need to know the public ip address you can just google search "What is my ip" and it should tell you or at least give you a website that will tell you.
Great video, thanks! Does it matter that the server is a good PC or not? I've got an old laptop somewhere around here, and I'd love to use that if possible.
As long as you meet the system requirements you should be good. You can find them here depending on how many players you wish to support. conanexiles.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_server_system_requirements
Basically all you need to do is run the first few steps again. Open up SteamCMD, set the directory, login anonymous and run the app_update like in the video and that will update the server. I also have an update script on Github with instructions that you can use. github.com/LucianDev/LucianDevs-Useful-Scripts/tree/main/SteamCMD%20Scripts/Windows/Server%20Updater
@@luciandev Thank you bro, I literally deleted the conan server and steam cmd to follow the steps in the video all over again, but thanks for helping, in the next update I will follow these steps so I don't have to delete again! XD
Hi, to open the ports of my router I have to enter some parameters which I don't know what they indicate, for example the most important ones are: - Initial door activation -Final door activation -Initial open door -Final open door Considering the information I told you before about the firewall rules on Windows, how can I make changes to the ports of my router by filling in the parameters correctly for both UDP and TCP? Thank you
Initial Door Activation or Initial Open Door: This refers to the first port in the range that you want to open. For example, if you're opening ports from 27015 to 27020, the initial port would be 27015. Final Door Activation or Final Open Door: This refers to the last port in the range that you want to open. Using the previous example, if you're opening ports from 27015 to 27020, the final port would be 27020.
I do not, but it's quite simple you can use my update script found here: github.com/LucianDev/LucianDevs-Useful-Scripts/tree/main/SteamCMD%20Scripts/Windows/Server%20Updater
@@luciandev Thanks for your awnser. I don't know if this is the answer but I play on the PC which also serves as a server, and my friends who are not connected to my wifi see the server but we have the same problem.
Hey bud great video, helped a noob like me get up and running, hopefully i have done things right that my mates can join in too.. only help i need is how do i add mods ?
I've had the same issue where there is 9999 ping and keep time out when trying to join the server in game. I've managed to solve this by using "Direct Join" by entering server's IP & port. At first I had issue because I was assuming that the port would be 25575. but this was not it if you are in the same network as the server ( local area network / zerotier / hamachi ) you should be able to confirm the server's IP & Port through your Steam Client 1. Open Steam 2. look for "View" in top left 3. click "Game Servers" 4. filter by LAN & select game as Conan Exiles 5. look for your server, and you should be able to see the IP when you click on it. Once you get the IP copied, just paste it in "Direct Join" and you should be able to connect with no issue
I can't join through the server list, but I can connect via direct connection. My friends can't join either through direct connection or the server list. Moreover, once I join, the server experiences significant lag and rollback. What could be causing this?
@@jozekappaceteh6687 can't help you there. But it sounds like performance issue instead if network issue on server side. However, I'm using my old laptop to host the server and have no issue whatsoever. Laptop specs are : Intel I5-6200u 12gb ram 1600Mhz SSD But i guess you can try to confirm first if you have good connection with the server IP, try to ping using cmd
heads up, copying the default server settings to the server settings does not add more options. It actually ends up taking some away. Both have settings the other does not.
@@luciandev is there no asia server? We are trying to make a server and where from asia and i've done everythig to make it work but we still can't connect to the server the only setting I changed was the server region from europe to asia
just wondering if you can help me with how to change the region server, i done all the steps got the server on the server list but its in EU and im in Australia. Tried to connect to the server anyway but i cant so i think it might ve been the ping issue. Im hosting and playing on the same computer
Not sure, as I don't have a cracked game. However in most cases in it comes to most software type of things. You'd need the same version as the server. Most other games servers act like this meaning your client & server need to match version numbers.
Your server tutorials are the best, because you actually explain how to do it. There's too many that just seem to be, get steamcmd, download server, I have server now. So thank you for doing these step by step guides
CPU: Intel Quad Core i5 or AMD equivalent RAM: 8 GB Storage: 35 GB available space Keep in mind these are minimum requirements you will need more for larger player base or larger maps.
When installing from the cmd prompt, I get success! app 443030 fully installed, but I don't see any files in the server/conan file. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Great vid... Todays patch seems to have killed my server. Should I have everyone revert to pre-patch conan, or can I update the server/how? Thanks in advance!
I suppose that depends, what do you mean it killed your server? Does that mean the game updated and you don't know to update your server to continue playing? or did it break everything and you wish to go back? If you just need to update your server well that's quite simple, I have a script that you can use to update your server or you can do it manually but you can find the script here: github.com/LucianDev/LucianDevs-Useful-Scripts/tree/main/SteamCMD%20Scripts/Windows/Server%20Updater
Hey, thanks for the speedy reply. Killed meaning... Doesn't show up on Conan server list. I'd like to update it. Looking at your script, but could you give me the steps I would take to put it into action? Sorry, I'm not that advanced in this area.@@luciandev
Is there a way to create my own server with no updates from the official? I want to create a fully sovereign modded server that will not need to depend or report back to the official source. I want to do this to avoid any issues that could cause my current mods in my server to stop working. I see that regular updates tend to break things, I do not want that responsiblity.
So, if I want to host a dedicated server on PlayStation... I need to have a pc/laptop to host it... To play on PS4/5. Doesn't that defeat the object? Surely I would just be better off playing on PC if I was to do that?!
You don't need to have one, has there are lots of options of renting servers where you can host whatever you want. My guides are for self hosting but if that isn't want you want to do then I'm not sure why you mean by better of playing on PC. Even if you played on PC and wanted a server you would still need to go through the process shown to setup your own server, and then play it on PC. No matter what you either need your own PC to run the server or rent a cloud host / vps or whatever then setup the process on that.
In case this has come across wrong, I ain't bashing you or the video. I must have figured it out wrong because I am not that well clued up on servers etc. So if I rent a server from Funcom, how do I operate it without a laptop/pc? I just want my own private server to add friends to on PS5 exiled lands. How would I go about that mate?
@@TemplarsCreed I'm not taking anything anyway, just trying to get an understanding. Really the only way your going to be able to host your game without a computer is if you use a service like Host Havoc, Ping Perfect, etc. These services allow you to pay monthly to host on their servers and give you a web panel to control the services. The method in my video known as "Self Hosting" would require you to have/use a computer to host it on. Another option would be renting your own servers that isn't dedicated to gaming such as renting a server from ToggleBox, there you can create your own Cloud Server manage your own resources and put w/e you want on it such as Conan Dedicated Server. In this example of using Togglebox you do have a web console but for easiest use you'd want to use RDP if your setup a windows machine which means you would need a computer or download an app on your phone that does RDP.
@@luciandev thanks mate I will check that out. Now this all makes sense. Please forgive my ignorance I just genuinely didn't know. Thanks for the information and hopefully I'll have my own server soon 👍
@@zanruos88 Correct, for you. Now if you want other people to join the server you'll have to port forward the ports I mention in the firewall section. Everyone else outside the network will use your public ip.
@@luciandev Yeah found it on the server list to join .but as i was joinning in it said lost connections to host and cant connect can you figure out why
@@zanruos88 Right, other people experience the same issue, you'll need to direct connect to it via your local ip. Everyone else can use the server list or public ip.
you know a way that i can disable admin commands and settings in my singleplayer world, i just cant enjoy the game knowing that my struggles are fixable with a button press. like can i change some values in some files or something? is that against game policy? finally, if i wanted to do this just for myself, would it be worth it to get what i want?
@luciandev6630 you mean Conan Exiles IP ? and how to do that "direct connection", my apologies I'm not quite understand how these connection works, not really the best on computer stuff lmao
I don't show port frowarding in my videos. Since everyone's router is different so it won't be the same for everyone. However most of this stuff is on UA-cam already so you can search the name of your router and how to port forward on it.
Im guessing you need to Update this, you started out slow and easy to follow, then Started speeding around, like from config to Windows server ... I have no windows Server, ? *also you said Past the Default Server config into that Server config, Im guessing adding to it at bottom, not OVER the existing in the file? then you mentioned Admin PW then didnt do anything buy jump strait to ENGINE, but i dont have a windows Server folder, so no egine file like that?
Hi man! Great video! I followed all the steps, but for some reason when I try to connect to the server, it gets stuck on the loading screen for around 5 - 10 min, after which I get this: "Could not connect to server. Your connection to the host has been lost.". Any chance you know what's wrong? Cheers!
Backup existing data: Before switching the map, it's important to back up your existing server data, including player files, settings, and configurations. This ensures you can revert to the previous state if needed. Install the desired map: Obtain the files for the new map you want to switch to. This typically involves downloading the map files from a reliable source or using the Steam Workshop if the map is available there. Make sure you have the necessary files ready for installation. Stop the server: Gracefully stop your Conan Exiles dedicated server to prevent any data corruption or conflicts during the map switch. This is usually done by closing the server console or sending a termination command to the server process. Replace existing map files: Navigate to the directory where your Conan Exiles server is installed. Look for the folder or directory corresponding to the current map you want to replace. Delete or move the existing map files to a backup location, and then copy the new map files into the appropriate directory. Adjust server configuration: Open the server configuration file (usually named "ServerSettings.ini") and update the setting related to the map selection. Look for the line that specifies the "MapName" and change it to the name of the new map you've installed. Start the server: Launch your Conan Exiles dedicated server again, either through the server console or by running the server executable. The server will now load the new map and make it available for players to join. Note: Switching the map on a Conan Exiles server will reset the world and all player progress. Ensure your players are aware of the map switch and back up any important data they may need before proceeding. Remember to follow any specific instructions provided by the map creator
@@Phoenix4521 I have an update script that anyone can use you can find it here www.luciandev.com/update-script/ all you would need to do is shutdown your server and run that script. Just make sure you replace the information with your information.
Either via direct connection or searching for it. Keep in mind you have to port forward the ports show in the video in your router to allow people from outside your network to join.
That would be a internet connection between you & the server. So either you'd need to be closer to the server, use wired internet if you are currently on WiFi. Contact your ISP for faster internet, you can also close other bandwidth consuming applications to free up your network.

Unsure if you still reply to these comments. My pathing is correct though after going through app_update 443030 validate it says fully installed though the Conan folder remains empty. Triple checked that the path was correct
Testing what i did wrong, i named my conan fodler 2024 conan. I believe because theres a space between 2024 and conan, it created a new folder and threw the game files in there.

any known issues using an external? and does it need to be in the same storge drive of the main game files? also is this a solution to the tethering problem or will only a dedicated server fix that problem?
You can put the server files pretty much anywhere and you shouldn't have any issues. It doesn't need to be in the same folder as the main game files. What tethering problem?
Just curious, what was the "app_update 443030 validate" command for? btw me and my lil bros were able to use your tutorial and currently enjoying the game, thumbs up and subs!
that games download's the server files needed / also updates the current files w/e they push out an update you'd run that same command into the same install location and it updates all the files.
Any time you open up ports to allow connections in and out of your network, it becomes less and less secure. As people can use packet sniffers as an example to see what ports are open within your network to exploit. If you want to protect your home network best to rent like a VPS off site and use the same guide with a VPS. As far as DMZ that would depend on your router it might be under security settings. Once you are there you should only need to put it the machines local IP address and should be good to go, oh and make sure it's enabled of course.
@@luciandev thanks dude. I got it all set up for the most part, and I can see my server on the server list, however it always times out. Also says my ping is 9999

WTF dude. When you are copy and pasting the default files into the saved, are you overwriting what is in the saved with the default or are you adding it below? You go so damn fast it is impossible to tell!
Hey probably silly question but for the "set serverPath=”C:\path\to\server” line in your update script you shared, would it just be '"set serverPath=”C:\path\to\conan” " if I named the folders the same as in your video? Or is it going to the folder you named "server"? I know that the path will be unique to my computer but im not sure what the actual target file/folder is for that line.
To stop you can type in the console stop/shutdown or hit the X on the top right of the console and you'd start the server backup just like you did the first time with the startup script.

You are are doing it locally, then you can open up your command prompt and type in ipconfig and get your IPv4 address of your local machine that is hosting it. However if you are going to port forward and make the server public you would use your public ip address which you can find by just googling "What is my ip"

Find and subscribe to mods on the Steam Workshop. Locate the mod files on your computer. Copy the mod files to the server's mod folder, if one does not exist create one called "Mods". Enable the mods in the server's configuration file. Example: [ServerSettings] ActiveMods=123456789,987654321 Save the configuration file and restart the server

Download the mod(s) you want to use: Go to the Steam Workshop or other modding website and download the mods you want to use. Make sure they are compatible with the version of Conan Exiles you are running. Install the mods: Extract the mod files and place them in the Mods folder located in the server's root directory. If the Mods folder doesn't exist, create it yourself. Edit the ServerSettings.ini file: Open the ServerSettings.ini file located in the server's root directory using a text editor such as Notepad. Look for the ActiveMods line and add the name of the mod(s) you installed to the list, separated by commas. Restart the server: Save the changes you made to the ServerSettings.ini file and restart the server. The mods should now be loaded and working.

This seems to be a common issue with Conan. It seems to happen when you try to connect to your server using your public ip instead of your local ip. If you direct connect with your local ip you should be good and everyone else would need to use your public ip of course.

Sorry, i found it :)
@@hastmeS99 Still gonna make a reply with an answer in case anyone else needs to know.
Here is how to set the map your Conan Exiles server uses:
Edit this file: ../ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Engine.ini
Add these two lines to the bottom of the file:
[/script/enginesettings.gamemapssettings]
ServerDefaultMap=
Depending on the map you want to use, add one of the following to the end of the ServerDefaultMap= line:
Exiled Lands: ConanSandbox
Optionally, for the default map (Exiled Lands), you can simply remove the added lines from the file.

My server age and ping appears "???" and "9999" and my friends can't connect. I made all the steps and port forwarding in router. Any tips?
I can connect via Direct Connection, my friends can't
Did you portforward with your router?
@luciandev6630 Yes. DMZ on Modem and port forward on router an Static IP. I tryed to connect directly in modem with port forward, nothing changes. 1 or 2 weeks ago, when I used the Xbox PC Game Pass version I could set a server and my friends could connect. Now I purchased the steam version and don't work. I will give up and find a server to play with they. Thanks for the tutorial and pacience.
Anything we need to do if we've already had this setup prior to the latest Conan updates? I had this all running last year, but wonder if it will work now.
No is the same just make sure you update it.
@@luciandev Thanks bud... I'll try to figure out the update. Don't remember how... LoL
pretty much in the first steps of the video where you launch steamcmd and do force_install_dir login anonymous, etc when I installed the server it's the exact same to update it.
Thx bro, just setup my server, you were a massive help
Glad I could help!
it is just telling me when i click start server that assets are missing or cant find stability
Not finding assets is normal in most cases, servers I've started have a similar issue, does the console close at all or does it remain open?
I have two questions, my server shows up but when I try to connect to it it times out, the ping is 999, and the server log has many failed to start spawn point errors, what am I doing wrong? Also once I get there server to work can I replace the files with my single player lan co op world to start off where I left off?
Not sure about the maps I've never tried that before but as far as the server issue goes are you hosting it locally?
@@luciandev I'm hosting on the same WiFi network, trying to host the server on my computer and also connect on the same computer
@@zilljam5852 Is the ping just high or you not able to connect to it at all? The spawn thing is pretty normal so that wouldn't be causing an issue.
I just figured it out, if you change your ports by one number then it allows the pc running the server to connect to itself. If you do not have port forwarding enabled you also have to use direct connect. That allowed me to join my server and my family over the same wifi. @@luciandev
Never ran a dedicated server before, where do I find my server's IP address? I followed all the steps but don't know the ip
If you need to know your server's ip address you can open up your cmd and type in ipconfig
if you need to know the public ip address you can just google search "What is my ip" and it should tell you or at least give you a website that will tell you.
Great video, thanks!
Does it matter that the server is a good PC or not? I've got an old laptop somewhere around here, and I'd love to use that if possible.
As long as you meet the system requirements you should be good. You can find them here depending on how many players you wish to support. conanexiles.fandom.com/wiki/Dedicated_server_system_requirements
@@luciandev ohh thanks, i didnt know there was a requirements summary! and happy new year!
How do I update the server? Conan just updated, and the server isn’t showing up in the search.
Basically all you need to do is run the first few steps again. Open up SteamCMD, set the directory, login anonymous and run the app_update like in the video and that will update the server.
I also have an update script on Github with instructions that you can use.
github.com/LucianDev/LucianDevs-Useful-Scripts/tree/main/SteamCMD%20Scripts/Windows/Server%20Updater

Hi, to open the ports of my router I have to enter some parameters which I don't know what they indicate, for example the most important ones are:
- Initial door activation
-Final door activation
-Initial open door
-Final open door
Considering the information I told you before about the firewall rules on Windows, how can I make changes to the ports of my router by filling in the parameters correctly for both UDP and TCP?
Thank you
Initial Door Activation or Initial Open Door: This refers to the first port in the range that you want to open. For example, if you're opening ports from 27015 to 27020, the initial port would be 27015.
Final Door Activation or Final Open Door: This refers to the last port in the range that you want to open. Using the previous example, if you're opening ports from 27015 to 27020, the final port would be 27020.
do you have a video on how to update the server after patches?
I do not, but it's quite simple you can use my update script found here:

Kinda new to this, but does a video card help the server run better smoother?
it doesn't run anything graphical just need ram & cpu, as there is no GUI.
@@luciandev thank you, I felt that was the case, but just needed to reassurance.
I've had the same issue where there is 9999 ping and keep time out when trying to join the server in game.
I've managed to solve this by using "Direct Join" by entering server's IP & port. At first I had issue because I was assuming that the port would be 25575. but this was not it
if you are in the same network as the server ( local area network / zerotier / hamachi ) you should be able to confirm the server's IP & Port through your Steam Client
1. Open Steam
2. look for "View" in top left
3. click "Game Servers"
4. filter by LAN & select game as Conan Exiles
5. look for your server, and you should be able to see the IP when you click on it.
Once you get the IP copied, just paste it in "Direct Join" and you should be able to connect with no issue
I can't join through the server list, but I can connect via direct connection. My friends can't join either through direct connection or the server list. Moreover, once I join, the server experiences significant lag and rollback. What could be causing this?
@@jozekappaceteh6687 can't help you there. But it sounds like performance issue instead if network issue on server side.
However, I'm using my old laptop to host the server and have no issue whatsoever.
Laptop specs are :
Intel I5-6200u
12gb ram 1600Mhz
SSD
But i guess you can try to confirm first if you have good connection with the server IP, try to ping using cmd
@@chiroo6852 How do I ping using cmd?
heads up, copying the default server settings to the server settings does not add more options. It actually ends up taking some away. Both have settings the other does not.
We're having difficulty connecting to the server, is the port thingy we did on the firewall the one that let people not in your network to connect?
Correct, you will see need to open ports in your router which is called port forwarding to allow people from outside the network to be able to join.

my server ping says 9999 and I cant join it. How can I fix that?
This means your probably hosting it locally, so you need to use the IP address of the machine that is hosting it and not your public IP.
On my Router, do I use IP4 or IP6?
You would use the IPV4 address.
Hello, I have a problem 9999 ping in my server, Could you help me please?
Try using the IP address to connect.
I have crack versin of game does server work for who play same version of my game ?
Not sure, as I don't have a cracked game. However in most cases in it comes to most software type of things. You'd need the same version as the server. Most other games servers act like this meaning your client & server need to match version numbers.
Your server tutorials are the best, because you actually explain how to do it. There's too many that just seem to be, get steamcmd, download server, I have server now. So thank you for doing these step by step guides
For some reason the server have 9999 ping for me. How can i solve that?
Allow Access in firewall.
How big of a server do you need? Like if I purchased a VPS for this. How many CPU, RAM, Space would be needed?
CPU: Intel Quad Core i5 or AMD equivalent
RAM: 8 GB
Storage: 35 GB available space
Keep in mind these are minimum requirements you will need more for larger player base or larger maps.
Thank you so much! However, I used conan dedicated server set up and I can't seem to connect to my own server when others join it. Weird. :(
Try direct connection instead and use the IP of the server if your are hosting it locally and not your public ip.
@@luciandev that worked! Thank you!
When installing from the cmd prompt, I get success! app 443030 fully installed, but I don't see any files in the server/conan file. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Great vid... Todays patch seems to have killed my server. Should I have everyone revert to pre-patch conan, or can I update the server/how? Thanks in advance!
I suppose that depends, what do you mean it killed your server?
Does that mean the game updated and you don't know to update your server to continue playing?

@@luciandev was fine, just hadn't loaded all files yet.
So, if I want to host a dedicated server on PlayStation... I need to have a pc/laptop to host it... To play on PS4/5. Doesn't that defeat the object? Surely I would just be better off playing on PC if I was to do that?!
You don't need to have one, has there are lots of options of renting servers where you can host whatever you want. My guides are for self hosting but if that isn't want you want to do then I'm not sure why you mean by better of playing on PC. Even if you played on PC and wanted a server you would still need to go through the process shown to setup your own server, and then play it on PC. No matter what you either need your own PC to run the server or rent a cloud host / vps or whatever then setup the process on that.
In case this has come across wrong, I ain't bashing you or the video. I must have figured it out wrong because I am not that well clued up on servers etc. So if I rent a server from Funcom, how do I operate it without a laptop/pc? I just want my own private server to add friends to on PS5 exiled lands. How would I go about that mate?
@@TemplarsCreed I'm not taking anything anyway, just trying to get an understanding. Really the only way your going to be able to host your game without a computer is if you use a service like Host Havoc, Ping Perfect, etc. These services allow you to pay monthly to host on their servers and give you a web panel to control the services.
The method in my video known as "Self Hosting" would require you to have/use a computer to host it on.
Another option would be renting your own servers that isn't dedicated to gaming such as renting a server from ToggleBox, there you can create your own Cloud Server manage your own resources and put w/e you want on it such as Conan Dedicated Server. In this example of using Togglebox you do have a web console but for easiest use you'd want to use RDP if your setup a windows machine which means you would need a computer or download an app on your phone that does RDP.
@@luciandev thanks mate I will check that out. Now this all makes sense. Please forgive my ignorance I just genuinely didn't know. Thanks for the information and hopefully I'll have my own server soon 👍

What about the port forwarding?
I don't show port frowarding in my videos. Since everyone's router is different so it won't be the same for everyone. However most of this stuff is on UA-cam already so you can search the name of your router and how to port forward on it.
Im guessing you need to Update this, you started out slow and easy to follow, then Started speeding around, like from config to Windows server ... I have no windows Server, ? *also you said Past the Default Server config into that Server config, Im guessing adding to it at bottom, not OVER the existing in the file? then you mentioned Admin PW then didnt do anything buy jump strait to ENGINE, but i dont have a windows Server folder, so no egine file like that?

how do i set which map the server runs? thanks in advance
Backup existing data: Before switching the map, it's important to back up your existing server data, including player files, settings, and configurations. This ensures you can revert to the previous state if needed.
Install the desired map: Obtain the files for the new map you want to switch to. This typically involves downloading the map files from a reliable source or using the Steam Workshop if the map is available there. Make sure you have the necessary files ready for installation.
Stop the server: Gracefully stop your Conan Exiles dedicated server to prevent any data corruption or conflicts during the map switch. This is usually done by closing the server console or sending a termination command to the server process.
Replace existing map files: Navigate to the directory where your Conan Exiles server is installed. Look for the folder or directory corresponding to the current map you want to replace. Delete or move the existing map files to a backup location, and then copy the new map files into the appropriate directory.
Adjust server configuration: Open the server configuration file (usually named "ServerSettings.ini") and update the setting related to the map selection. Look for the line that specifies the "MapName" and change it to the name of the new map you've installed.
Start the server: Launch your Conan Exiles dedicated server again, either through the server console or by running the server executable. The server will now load the new map and make it available for players to join.
Note: Switching the map on a Conan Exiles server will reset the world and all player progress. Ensure your players are aware of the map switch and back up any important data they may need before proceeding.
Remember to follow any specific instructions provided by the map creator
@@luciandev thank you. next question, how do i update the server when the game updates?
@@Phoenix4521 I have an update script that anyone can use you can find it here www.luciandev.com/update-script/ all you would need to do is shutdown your server and run that script. Just make sure you replace the information with your information.

That would be a internet connection between you & the server. So either you'd need to be closer to the server, use wired internet if you are currently on WiFi. Contact your ISP for faster internet, you can also close other bandwidth consuming applications to free up your network.

You can put the server files pretty much anywhere and you shouldn't have any issues. It doesn't need to be in the same folder as the main game files. What tethering problem?
Just curious, what was the "app_update 443030 validate" command for? btw me and my lil bros were able to use your tutorial and currently enjoying the game, thumbs up and subs!
that games download's the server files needed / also updates the current files w/e they push out an update you'd run that same command into the same install location and it updates all the files.
Hey man, great video. Helps a ton. Is this generally secure for your home network? Any idea how to put a server into a DMZ within my network?
Any time you open up ports to allow connections in and out of your network, it becomes less and less secure. As people can use packet sniffers as an example to see what ports are open within your network to exploit. If you want to protect your home network best to rent like a VPS off site and use the same guide with a VPS. As far as DMZ that would depend on your router it might be under security settings. Once you are there you should only need to put it the machines local IP address and should be good to go, oh and make sure it's enabled of course.

Great video! But is there a way to add mods into the server?
Find and subscribe to mods on the Steam Workshop. Locate the mod files on your computer. Copy the mod files to the server's mod folder, if one does not exist create one called "Mods". Enable the mods in the server's configuration file.
Example:
[ServerSettings]
ActiveMods=123456789,987654321
Save the configuration file and restart the server
How do i get mods to work without server launcher? The video is great, ive been playing on my home server with my friend, but i cant get the server to run mods. 😢
Download the mod(s) you want to use: Go to the Steam Workshop or other modding website and download the mods you want to use. Make sure they are compatible with the version of Conan Exiles you are running.
Install the mods: Extract the mod files and place them in the Mods folder located in the server's root directory. If the Mods folder doesn't exist, create it yourself.
Edit the ServerSettings.ini file: Open the ServerSettings.ini file located in the server's root directory using a text editor such as Notepad. Look for the ActiveMods line and add the name of the mod(s) you installed to the list, separated by commas.
Restart the server: Save the changes you made to the ServerSettings.ini file and restart the server. The mods should now be loaded and working.
