Testlive is a version of the game where we and you, the community, can stress test upcoming game patches before they’re rolled out to the main, live version of the game.
Testlive builds can be played online on an official Funcom server or offline locally. The Testlive server will be reset constantly, so try not to get very attached to your progress there.
Based on player feedback we have decided to split Testlive into a separate client on Steam. Previously you had to switch back and forth between builds in Steam, requiring you to re-download parts of the game when you wanted to see what was on Testlive. Now that we've split the two there's no need for that. You just need to download and install the Testlive client and you're good to go!
If you own Conan Exiles on Steam, you should now see a separate Product called “Conan Exiles - Testlive Client” in your library which gives you the option to install an additional instance of the game, specifically for the TestLive servers. Please be aware that this will prompt you for a full additional installation.
We are aware that not everyone wants, or has, space for two full installations. For those of you who don’t want to play through the additional TestLive Client, you can still access the TestLive servers through our old method.
We will have 3 US and 3 European Testlive servers running with similar settings to what's currently on live. If need be we will change these settings for testing purposes.
If you’re admin on a private server and want to help us stress test these patches you can install the Testlive build to your server. As long as your players are running the same build they’ll be able to get in and play. Keep in mind that you’re running Testlive builds on your own risk. The builds can be incredibly buggy and prone to breaking. They might also destroy your server databases and make characters unplayable.
Testlive feedback can be posted on our official forums, under the Testlive category
