• Unreal Engine has been updated to version 5.8.2, which helps to future proof Conan Exiles Enhanced. Most importantly, this engine upgrade enables the use of a new replication system called “Iris”.

• This latest PTC update enables the Iris networking system. New “Enhanced” graphics settings. A new “Enhanced” graphics setting can be found in all of your existing quality dropdowns. Enhanced is a chance to flex any additional GPU power you have available to refine the visuals of Conan Exiles to the extreme! Note: 12 GB of VRAM is recommended to use this new feature.

• An “Advanced Graphics” buon can be found in your settings to render Conan Exiles your way.

• This build includes a preview version of FSR upscaling that works with UE5.8, if you experience any issues with it please report it with F2 Feedback, and switch to TSR or XeSS.

• We need to update the PSOs (Pipeline State Objects) for UE5.8, you may experience longer loading times, and some framerate hitches as a result.
