Conan Exiles Patch Notes: Update 2.8 Testlive (Server Queues Added, Emotes)
Here are the complete patch notes for Conan Exiles Update 2.8 Testlive coming out for all supported platforms:
Greetings, Exiles of the Testlive lands!
We’re kicking off 2022 with an early version of our upcoming new update! 2.8 is bringing two oft-requested features: server queues and emotes for followers!
Server queues will let you join a server that’s full without the need of smashing that join button for minutes! Now instead you will be automatically be sent to a queue with other fellow Exiles trying to access the same server and you’ll join once a spot in the server is cleared! This is also customizable via server settings in case you want this feature disabled or tweaked in your private
Another big feature incoming in 2.8 is the ability to assign emotes to your followers! Whether you want them to look more alive, or stage the new and hottest choreography this side of the Exiled Lands, this feature will bring new life to your army! Along with it, we have worked on a bevy of new emotes you can learn by interacting with new locations on both game maps. Groovy!
Remember! This is a work in progress, early build of the upcoming 2.8 update and as such, some features may not be working as intended yet. If you give this build a try, please make sure to send us your feedback so we can tweak and improve it for the final release!
Thanks once again for your continued feedback and support and stay safe. After all, 2022 will be a very exciting year for Conan Exiles!
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MODS
Please remember that updates can mess with the functionality of your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed. For the purposes of testing, we recommend not using any mods when playing on Testlive.
Server Queues!
Join your favorite server in style. While you can still frantically smash that join button, we offer a less barbaric solution by just letting you wait politely in a queue.
Keep that frantic energy to see your enemies driven before you and hear the lamentation of the other Exiles in the queue.
Follower Emotes!
Tired of your followers staring into the void while at your base? Give them some workout to do with our new feature!
Assign emotes to them, both previous and new, and inject new life into your fief!
- Server queues!
- Follower emotes!
- … new emotes!
- Tons of QoL and bugfixes!
Separate TestLive Product on Steam
We heard your input regarding the inconvenience with having to switch back and forth between the main game and our TestLive servers. To make it easier for you and because we really value your testing and feedback, we added a separate product for the TestLive server on Steam.
If you own Conan Exiles on Steam, you should 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.
