WORK IN PROGRESS BUILD AND DOCUMENT
This is a work in progress build and as such, neither of the changes and implementations found in it are final. Neither is the patchnotes document, which will be updated, corrected and completed over the Testlive period to better reflect the work in progress nature of this build.
Greetings, Exiles of the Testlive lands!
We’re releasing early on Testlive patch 2.4.4, which will be the Siptah launch patch scheduled for next week.
In it we’re including a thorough beauty pass for Isle of Siptah, in particular for the new areas introduced in 2.4 to have them all shiny and ready for the launch out of early access. This patch will have a shorter time in Testlive as it is not an update. We wanted to ensure over the weekend its stability ahead of its launch early next week.
If you give it a try, please let us know of any issues you may encounter!
Thank you once again for your continued support, and see you next week as we ship Isle of Siptah out of Early Access!
Stay safe!
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MODS

Separate TestLive Product on Steam
We heard your input regarding the inconvenience with having to switch back and forth between the main game and our TestLive servers. To make it easier for you and because we really value your testing and feedback, we added a separate product for the TestLive server on Steam.
If you own Conan Exiles on Steam, you should now see a separate Product called “Conan Exiles - Testlive Client” in your library which gives you the option to install an additional instance of the game specifically for the TestLive servers. Please be aware that this will prompt you for a full additional installation.
We are aware that not everyone wants install or has space for two full installations. For those of you who don’t want to play through the additional TestLive Client, you can still access the TestLive servers through our old method.
