When to Call a Professional
If you have tried all steps above and continue to receive the conan-disconnect error, the issue may be beyond typical user troubleshooting. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) if you suspect persistent packet loss or unstable line quality — they can run line diagnostics. If the issue only occurs on a specific private server, contact that server's administrator, as the problem may be on their hosting end. For persistent issues on official servers, submit a support ticket to Funcom at https://funcom.com/support with details about your connection, operating system, and what steps you have already tried.Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Conan Exiles keep disconnecting from the server?
The most common reasons Conan Exiles keeps disconnecting include unstable Wi-Fi, server-side outages, firewall or antivirus blocking the game, corrupted game files, or network configuration issues such as outdated drivers or DNS problems. Start by checking if the server is online, then work through the steps above to isolate the cause.
Will I lose my character or progress when I get the conan-disconnect error?
On official and private online servers, your character and inventory data are stored server-side, so progress up to your last server save point is typically retained after reconnecting. However, if you were in the middle of combat or crafting when disconnected, actions since the last server autosave may not be recorded. Single-player progress is saved locally and is unaffected by this error.
What ports need to be open for Conan Exiles to work properly?
Conan Exiles requires the following ports to be open for stable server connections: UDP 7777 (game port), UDP 7778 (raw UDP socket port), and UDP 27015 (Steam query port). If you are running your own server, you will also need to forward these ports on your router to the server machine's local IP address.
Does the conan-disconnect error happen more on official or private servers?
It can happen on both, but the causes differ. On official servers, the error is more often tied to Funcom's server status, high player load, or game updates causing temporary instability. On private servers, the error is more commonly caused by the server host's hardware, internet connection, or configuration issues. Checking server status first will help you identify which side the problem is on.
Can a VPN fix or cause the conan-disconnect error in Conan Exiles?
A VPN can sometimes help if your ISP is throttling gaming traffic or if you are geographically far from the server, as it may route your traffic more efficiently. However, in most cases a VPN adds latency and can actually cause or worsen the conan-disconnect error, especially if Funcom's servers block VPN IP ranges. It is generally best to play without a VPN unless you have a specific routing problem your ISP cannot resolve.
