Conan Exiles Server Setup Guide

Conan Exiles Server Setup Guide - Baza znanja

This guide walks you through configuring your Conan Exiles dedicated server hosted at Legion Hosting, including key settings, how to connect, and how to perform a full world wipe.

Finding Your Server IP and Port

Before diving into configuration, you need your server's IP address and port number. See our guide: How to Find Your Server IP and Port.

Your assigned game port and query port are shown in GPanel's Network tab. Conan Exiles also uses the game port + 1 automatically for the Unreal Engine — this is handled by the system.

On shared hosting, ports are randomly assigned — you cannot choose specific port numbers. If you need your server to run on specific ports, you can purchase a server with a private IP address.

ServerSettings.ini — Core Configuration

The primary configuration file is located at:

ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/ServerSettings.ini

You can edit this file via the GPanel file manager at gpanel.legionhosting.net or by uploading it over SFTP. See our SFTP upload guide for instructions.

Stop your server before editing config files. Changes made while the server is running will be overwritten when it shuts down.

Below are the most important settings found under the [ServerSettings] section:

Setting	Example Value	Description
`ServerName`	`My Conan Server`	The name shown in the server browser.
`MaxPlayers`	`40`	Maximum concurrent player slots.
`ServerPassword`	`mysecretpass`	Password players must enter to join. Leave empty for a public server.
`AdminPassword`	`adminpass123`	Password used with the `MakeMeAdmin` command in-game to gain admin rights.
`PVPEnabled`	`True` / `False`	Enables or disables PvP combat between players.
`serverRegion`	`0`	Region tag shown in the browser: 0=Europe, 1=Americas, 2=Asia, 3=Oceania.
`IsBattlEyeEnabled`	`True` / `False`	Enables BattlEye anti-cheat. Disable if players report false kicks.
`PlayerXPRateMultiplier`	`1.0`	Multiplier for XP gain. Higher values speed leveling.
`ItemSpoilRateScale`	`1.0`	Food spoilage rate. Lower values slow spoilage.
`HarvestAmountMultiplier`	`1.0`	Resource yield per harvest hit.
`DayCycleSpeedScale`	`1.0`	Speed of the day/night cycle. Higher values make days shorter.
`NightTimeSpeedScale`	`1.0`	Speed of the night portion of the cycle.
`BuildingDamageMultiplier`	`1.0`	Damage dealt to player structures. Increase for more intense raids.
`NoOwnership`	`False`	When `True`, any player can loot any container regardless of ownership.
`EnableSandstorm`	`True`	Enables the sandstorm event. Set to `False` to disable it.

A minimal [ServerSettings] block looks like this:

[ServerSettings]
ServerName=My Conan Server
MaxPlayers=40
ServerPassword=
AdminPassword=adminpass123
PVPEnabled=True
IsBattlEyeEnabled=True
PlayerXPRateMultiplier=1.0
HarvestAmountMultiplier=2.0
ItemSpoilRateScale=0.5

Engine.ini — Network and Performance Tweaks

The Engine.ini file lives in the same folder as ServerSettings.ini:

ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Engine.ini

Common tweaks for dedicated servers:

[OnlineSubsystem]
ServerName=My Conan Server

[/Script/Engine.GameNetworkManager]
TotalNetBandwidth=32000
MaxDynamicBandwidth=7000
MinDynamicBandwidth=4000

Note: Most game-play settings belong in ServerSettings.ini. Reserve Engine.ini for network tuning. Ensure the port values in your config files match the ports assigned in GPanel's Network tab.

How to Connect to Your Server

There are two methods to connect:

Method 1 — Server Browser

Launch Conan Exiles and click Play Online.
Search for your server name in the Name filter field.
Select your server from the list and click Connect.
Enter the server password if one is set.

Not showing up? New servers can take up to 10-15 minutes to appear in the browser. Use direct connect in the meantime.

Method 2 — Direct Connect

In the main menu, click Play Online, then switch to the Direct Connect tab.
Enter your server IP and game port (shown in GPanel's Network tab) in the format IP:PORT.
Click Connect.

To find your IP and port, see: How to Find Your Server IP and Port.

Wiping the Server (Full World Reset)

A full wipe deletes all player progress, buildings, thralls, and the game world, resetting the server to a fresh state. This is done by deleting the game database file.

This action is permanent and cannot be undone. All player data, buildings, characters, and progression will be lost. Notify your players before performing a wipe.

To wipe your server:

Stop your server from GPanel (gpanel.legionhosting.net).
Navigate to the following path in the GPanel file manager or via SFTP:
```
ConanSandbox/Saved/
```
Delete or rename the file game.db:
```
ConanSandbox/Saved/game.db
```
Renaming (e.g., to game.db.bak) keeps a backup in case you change your mind.
Start your server. A fresh game.db will be generated automatically on startup.

Partial wipes: Conan Exiles does not natively support partial wipes (e.g., buildings only). Deleting game.db is an all-or-nothing operation.
