Conan Exiles Enhanced Server FAQ and Fixes
The Enhanced dedicated server remains a moving beta target, so older Conan Exiles paths, tools, and assumptions cannot be copied forward automatically. These answers label what is officially documented, what must be verified against the current build, and which actions require a full backup before experimentation.
Read this before changing anything
Before updating, importing, changing mods, or converting Legacy data, stop normally and copy the entire ConanSandbox/Saved tree. Keep the original Legacy game.db and compatible Legacy runtime immutable because Enhanced conversion is one-way.

Open the answer that sounds like your server. Start at the top of its checklist and stop as soon as the server is healthy.
01CompatibilityIs Conan Exiles Enhanced the same as Conan Exiles 2?
What players see
The UE5 upgrade is being described as a sequel or interchangeable edition.
What happened
Funcom's official name is Conan Exiles Enhanced, a free UE5 upgrade to Conan Exiles.
Why it happened
Informal naming obscures the real Enhanced-versus-Legacy server boundary.
What to do next
- 1Label every guide and backup as Enhanced UE5 or Legacy UE4.
- 2Verify the client/server generation before importing any database.

02PlatformsCan Xbox, PlayStation, Epic, or Microsoft Store users join Enhanced?
What players see
A non-Steam player cannot see or join the Enhanced server.
What happened
Those platforms remain on Legacy/UE4 under the reviewed official compatibility matrix.
Why it happened
Enhanced multiplayer currently uses the Steam Enhanced ecosystem.
What to do next
- 1Use a compatible Legacy server for those clients.
- 2Do not modify or downgrade the only Enhanced database attempting to force a join.

03MigrationCan I migrate an old Exiled Lands game.db to Enhanced?
What players see
A Legacy Exiled Lands server needs to move to UE5.
What happened
The official one-way workflow can convert a copied game.db into Enhanced game_0.db.
Why it happened
Enhanced uses a different database generation and cannot convert it back.
What to do next
- 1Keep an immutable Legacy full backup and compatible runtime.
- 2Convert a copy with no existing game_0.db, then validate world state over several restarts.

04MigrationCan I move my entire Legacy Isle of Siptah base into Enhanced?
What players see
A Siptah server owner expects a whole-world conversion.
What happened
The official migration scope does not carry a Legacy Siptah base/world wholesale into Enhanced.
Why it happened
Enhanced changes how maps are provided and documents narrower character/item/follower transfer constraints.
What to do next
- 1Preserve the complete Legacy Siptah world.
- 2Follow only the current official transfer scope; do not test an unofficial conversion on the only copy.

05BackupIs game_0.db alone enough for an Enhanced backup?
What players see
A backup job copies only the main SQLite file while the server is live.
What happened
That copy can omit WAL/SHM state, configuration, mods, and other durable Saved data.
Why it happened
SQLite and server configuration are a coordinated set during runtime.
What to do next
- 1Save and stop normally, then copy the entire ConanSandbox/Saved tree.
- 2Verify the restored world, mods, configuration, and several restarts before relying on it.

06AdministrationDoes working RCON prove the app can perform a clean save-and-stop?
What players see
RCON connects, but an automated maintenance operation cannot verify shutdown.
What happened
Remote console access does not establish a supported native save-and-exit sequence.
Why it happened
The current provider has not release-tested an Enhanced graceful remote shutdown command and resulting database integrity.
What to do next
- 1Use the current admin save route and normal process close.
- 2Keep automated graceful shutdown disabled until the exact command passes repeatable integrity tests.

The Legacy Exiled Lands database was copied, but the Enhanced UE5 server opens a fresh world, ignores it, or retains an older game_0.db.
