Conan Exiles

This guide covers the configuration files and key settings for your Conan Exiles server. For first boot and connecting, see Getting Started.

Conan Exiles uses three main config files in ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/:

ℹ️ As with a few other games we host, the WindowsServer folder name is correct on our Linux nodes: Conan ships no Linux server build, so the egg runs the Windows build through a compatibility layer you never have to touch.

  • Engine.ini: Performance and tick rate
  • Game.ini: Custom values
  • ServerSettings.ini: Most gameplay settings

Restart after editing.

Purge behavior also lives in this file; since the Age of War rework, purges are summoned at treasure thresholds rather than filling a classic meter, and the related settings carry self-describing names in the same section.

Engine.ini Tickrate

For higher player counts, raise the tick rate:

[Net.RPC]
MaxRPCPerNetUpdate=8

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver]
NetServerMaxTickRate=30

Default is 20. 30 feels much smoother but uses more CPU.
