Conan Exiles Error Codes

Conan Exiles' most reported error is CE-34878-0, a PlayStation crash that appears on launch or while loading a server, plus a family of 'disconnected from server' and connection-timeout problems on all platforms. Most trace back to corrupt data, mod mismatches, or an unstable connection. Here's what each means and the fastest fix.

Error codes

CE-34878-0 (PlayStation crash) The game crashed on PlayStation, usually on launch or while loading into a server

Cause: Corrupted saved/application data, an outdated game version, or a database/system-software glitch.

Fix:
  1. Rebuild the PlayStation database (boot into Safe Mode -> Rebuild Database) — Funcom's recommended first step.
  2. Update Conan Exiles and the console system software to the latest version.
  3. Delete and reinstall the game if the crash persists after rebuilding the database (back up saves first).
Disconnected from server / connection lost You get dropped from an online server during play or loading

Cause: An unstable connection, a mod list that doesn't match the server, or server-side lag/restart.

Fix:
  1. Match your mod list exactly to the server's (same mods, same order) and remove leftovers.
  2. Switch to a wired connection and restart your router to steady the route.
  3. Verify integrity of the game files and try rejoining after a server restart.
Failed to join / connection timeout The client can't reach or finish joining the server

Cause: A full or restarting server, firewall blocking, or corrupt local config.

Fix:
  1. Wait and retry — the server may be full or restarting after a save.
  2. Allow Conan Exiles through Windows Firewall and forward its ports if you host.
  3. Delete the local game.ini / config files (back them up first) to clear a corrupt setting, then rejoin.

Fixes that work for most Conan Exiles (PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) errors

  1. Verify/repair the game files (Steam: Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify integrity; EA app/Epic/Ubisoft: Manage -> Repair) — this replaces corrupted files behind most crashes and connection faults.
  2. Update your GPU driver with a clean install (use DDU), and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables (x86 and x64) plus the DirectX End-User Runtime — missing runtimes and stale drivers cause most launch crashes.
  3. Flush your DNS and reset the network stack (ipconfig /flushdns; netsh winsock reset; netsh int ip reset), switch to Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) DNS, and prefer a wired connection over Wi-Fi to cut packet loss.
  4. Disable overlays (Steam, Discord, GeForce Experience) and any VPN, and add the game plus its anti-cheat (e.g. BattlEye/EasyAntiCheat) to your firewall and antivirus exceptions.
  5. Check the game's official server/status channels (X, Discord, Downdetector) before assuming a local problem — many named connection errors are a maintenance window or outage and clear on their own.

FAQ

How do I fix Conan Exiles error CE-34878-0?

CE-34878-0 is a PlayStation crash that usually appears on launch or when loading a server, caused by corrupted data or an outdated version. Funcom's recommended first step is to rebuild the PlayStation database (boot into Safe Mode -> Rebuild Database). Also update the game and system software, and if it keeps crashing, back up your saves and reinstall the game.

Why does Conan Exiles keep disconnecting me from servers?

Disconnects usually come from an unstable connection, a mod list that doesn't match the server, or a server restart/lag. Make your installed mods exactly match the server's (same mods and load order), switch to a wired connection, restart your router, verify the integrity of the game files, and rejoin after any server restart.
