Greetings, Exiles!
A new patch is here, introducing UE5.8.2 – Iris – and making further improvements to the game.
Iris should help to alleviate performance bottlenecks on dedicated servers.
This is an extension to the previous 2.2.0 update so we consider this one Patch 2.2.0 as well.
Read all about Iris and the other bug fixes introduced in this patch below.
Unreal Engine has been updated to version 5.8.2, which helps to future proof Conan Exiles Enhanced. Most importantly, this engine upgrade enables the use of a new replication system called “Iris”.
Iris improves a major performance bottleneck on dedicated servers: evaluating 100s of thousands of game objects per frame to update clients.
This latest PTC update enables the Iris networking system.

This build includes a preview version of FSR upscaling that works with UE5.8, if you experience any issues with it please report it with F2 Feedback, and switch to TSR or XeSS.
We need to update the PSOs (Pipeline State Objects) for UE5.8, you may experience longer loading times, and some framerate hitches as a result.
When connecting to a server under heavy load, players may experience a hang while on the loadscreen. If this happens, you can exit the game and reconnect.
