Greetings, Exiles!

We’ve been hard at work at the tinkerer’s bench, and we’re ready with the fruits of our toils: The August Update includes a slew of bugfixes, optimizations, and quality-of-life improvements for Conan Exiles, as well as some new content and goodies to delve into:

- Better pathing for Living Settlements NPCs, improved performance during Purges, a “Coup de Grace” truncheon fix, and multiple streaming and loading optimizations and fixes--among tons of other improvements.

- Introducing the Dark Dregs! Find light in the darkness in a fresh twist on a classic dungeon experience, available for a limited time from now until September 19th. New challenges and rewards await those who brave the depths!

- Dark Dregs replaces the original Dregs while it is active, and is accessible through the same entrance.

- After the 19th, it will join Bounty Hunting and The Sacred Hunt as rotating events and will return for set intervals in the future.

- The Black Lotus Bazaar has new delights for the fashionable and discerning Exile! Look forward to new bundles like Khitan New Year and the Vanir Cabin!

As we’ve continued our work on Conan Exiles this year and focusing on the overall health of the game, we'd also like to provide an update on the direction we're taking future updates.

We previously talked about making Conan Exiles better and not just bigger. We’ve seen this decision resonate with many of you as well. As part of that effort, we are moving away from the Age and Chapter structure which was about making the game bigger. We will continue to work on fixing long-standing bugs, make tweaks to existing content and add more quality of life changes to the game.

Now, onto the patch notes:
