Launched with battleeye disabled. Runs great on modded private servers
Läuft out-of-the-box

without tinkering my game couldnt pass the intro video, as soon as video ended my game was closing down, switching to proton 9.0-4 fixed that issue and the game works pretty much the same way as on windows .Main menu background is kinda messed up and looks like a broken CRT monitor but all buttons are clear. I had to disable the battle eye as i was getting an error that the battle eye installed incorrectly and the game was switching off, once I've disabled battle eye the game just runs like on windows. no problem with isntalling Savage wilds mod or AoC mod either

gamemoderun "%command% -USEALLAVAILABLECORES"
I was playing it for a few months, ran great, then all of a sudden started to get "Fatal Error" as the game tries to load into the map. Dont know what happned but I can no longer play. verified files, reinstalled mods, trying different proton versions, even tried reinstalling the came completely, and just get fatal error as soon as the load bar reaches 100% to get into the map
If anyone has experienced issues like mine and found a solution. Id love get mine working again.

It runs great, at a locked 48FPS, would even run 60FPS if I wanted to, flawlessly. Ocasional stutter but I think that's normal.
Set resolution to 1153x720 and TDP to 13W
It's a tad bit small, but once you get set in the game it's not that bad.

gamemoderun %command%
the game suffers from stuttering, I don't know if is the game or proton I guess is the game but who knows?
stttttttuuuuteringgggg I've test almost all proton versions, and commands.

gamemoderun %command%
Had to go back and forth between windows before the game grabbed the cursor.
Game crashed on as soon as the initial main menu appeared when using default Proton. Switching to GE allowed me to play (mostly) without issues.
gamemoderun $(eval $(echo "%command% -USEALLAVAILABLECORES" | sed -E "s~/Launcher/FuncomLauncher.exe'~/ConanSandbox/Binaries/Win64/ConanSandbox.exe'~g"))
The vegetation setting might need to be lowered when running midnight grove, if you notice a dip in there just drop that setting first.
Not linux related, but the game engine makes you slide all over the place when running above 60 fps, it helps locking it to 120 for most areas but you will still slide around in dungeons and areas near the edges of the map.
Multiplayer experience on a private dedicated server was very smooth. Mods were easy to add after the initial struggle of figuring out how to get them working on a linux server.

Works fine out of the box
FPS drop when raining
Was expecting bugs based on reviews but haven't run into any after 10 hours..
Surprisingly Funcom did not break it for linux with the new "Age of Heros". I only played for about 10 minutes but it was working.

Fix to play mutlplayer online
Introduction and the main menu background are buggy.
Without Proton BattlEye Runtime I couldn't play online.
To play online you need to install the Proton BattlEye Runtime Steam's tool. Just look for it in the search bar of your library. I didn't have any troubles. I played on official server ~1.5h with my lvl 30 character, did some buildings and everything was smooth. 60 FPS with Ultra graphics.

mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Is pretty playable. Playing with mods. At renderdistant animals/humans have for a really short time some kind of purple glow in the face area but if you go some steps forward it vanishes.
Runs fine with no modifications

Minor stuttering in one of the intro logo movies. Otherwise, no problems at all.
I haven't tried multiplayer yet. Not expecting BattlEye to work; I'll update if it does.
Launch option gamemoderun %command%
(suggested by others) made the Funcom launcher fail to launch; it just dumped me back in Steam as if I hadn't even tried to run the game. Reverting the launch options to a blank line -- and selecting a specific Proton version (9.0-2) -- made it work.

missing textures in the distance
laggy, fps drops, freezes
Without using GE-Proton in combination with BattleEYE the multiplayer is not usable

gamemoderun %command%
Starting menu background is bugged, but didn't prevent launching. Had some hitching but stopped after putting gamemoderun %command% in launch options.

You cannot play online as BattlEye kicks you immediately after character creation. Singleplayer's great. Options a bit jank until in game.
Specifically had a hard time with drop downs and rebinds up until I actually started a game. No gamemoderun / mangohud as the game crashes on load. No connecting to MP server either even if it has BattlEye disabled as it's still required to start locally even if you have it disabled. (Why is there even an option to disable it???)
gamemoderun %command%

I enjoyed many hours with Conan. The game ran fine for me... the FPS wasn't amazing, around 30ish but it wasn't a problem for me with playing. Highly recommend.
(I may have had to press a few on-screen keyboard strokes to name my Game Save, but can't recall).

при запуске несколько раз выдает "окно не отвечает" но быстро проходит если нажть "подождать"
с модами работает стабильно (около 50 штук в модпаке), главное меню рябит и выглядит как разбитый монитор (или рябь разноцветная) а сверху кнопки, после пока багов не замечено.

They've fixed it (in Steam Beta client)! ^_^ Game works now. Without Proton-GE startup video does not play (on Proton 8.0-5).
Steam Beta fixed issue preventing game from working 18 hours ago: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2563#issuecomment-1912792727 (comment ended up in Proton repository since there was a bit of shuffling who might be able to resolve issue I suppose).

Steam Client Beta installed
Need newer Proton-Version

Works fine using Steam Beta. No tinkering other than installing protonGE.

Use the Steam Beta Client

This is a work-around without using steam's linux client! Installed Lutris, downloaded steam for windows setup from steam. Ran steam setup from Lutris using runner lutris-GE-Proton8-25-x86_64, logged in to steam, installed game and started play.

Completely broken since "Age of War Chapter 3 Hotfix 2 Patch Notes (2024.01.16)"
It starts the launcher but clicking on "Play" will just do nothing, the game won't launch. It used to work flawlessly on Proton Experimental before the "Age of War Chapter 3 Hotfix 2 Patch Notes (2024.01.16)" update.
Since 15.1.2024 game is not running under any version of Proton (I tried all the versions including GE, TKG...)
Not work now after Age of War III update
gamemoderun %command%

DOES NOT WORK DO NOT BUY
tried proton experimental, tried proton8.0-4. GE didnt even get me the "fun"com launcher and the rest only got me as far as the launcher. others are saying it hasnt worked since chapter 3 but it was working for me before the most recent update, now its compltely borked.
sidenote: i dont know why its wrong but my system info is outdated, the hardware is correct but my kernal versiobn is 6.6.10-arch1-1

Click on Play, but the game fails to launch.
None
The game hasn't launched over the last several days. I've tried reinstalling, verifying files, and numerous versions of Protonkl/GE-Proton. It won't run on any Linux PC I've tried.

Sopped working on January 12th 2023
It worked till friday, and now it's just after launching the game from the laucher, I've tried using Proton GE, and disabeling BattleEye, but notighing seems to work

It only starts launcher, game immediately crashes with error (if it starts at all)
I've also tried Proton Experimental, Proton 8.0-4, Proton 7.0-6, Proton 6.3-8 and Proton 5.13-6, verifying game files, disabling DLCs. It used to work in past.

Steam Client Update Jan 11-12
After researching there was a Steam Client Update on Jan 11-12.

Up until these dates I ran Conan Exiles on both PC and Steamdeck under 8.04 flawless - no issues. Note I do not run Battleye because I have a private server with mods. Now looking at the notes there was a lot of Workshop changes. I have tried scrubbing everything with no mods, but still the game will not run - it just drops back to the Steam Play Button.
Something changed under the hood for sure!

Ran flawless on my deck and pc under 8.04. Now the launcher comes up but when you hit launh it just goes back to the Steam play button.

Game worked for years now uttertly broken
Game ran great for years. Nearly all my game time is on Linux. Suddenly this past week the game just stopped working. Won't launch anymore. I tried proton experimental, proton 8 stable, proton-ge, i removed compdata, even removed the game and reinstalled it. Nothing works. It no longer can launch at all. I don't know if a new steam update caused this or game update, which i don't think becuase i can't recall seeing any new update. All i can recall was seeing a new steam update. It just sucks. All i want to do is play conan.

Ran great until Jan 12 on 8.04
Been running Conan Exiles on 8.04 great for over 163 hours until Jan 12. Launcher comes up, but when hit the continue or launch button it just goes back to the Steam play button. Something changed. Also ran on my Steamdeck perfect and now the same issue.

Not work now after Age of War III update
trying few proton fersion (8, experemental, GE) game doesnt work after Age of War part 3 update. Before this patch, game work perfectly for me for long time (manjaro, alt linux etc. in solo, private and public pvp servers with anticheat systems)
Hope it will be fix soon
