Update 2.2.0: Engine Upgrade, Iris Networking & New Bazaar Bundles

Greetings Exiles,

Update 2.2.0 for Conan Exiles Enhanced has arrived.

This update upgrades the game to Unreal Engine 5.8.2 and replaces the previous UE4 networking model with Iris, a new networking replication system created by Epic.

Since the launch of the Enhanced update, we’ve been working to improve server performance. The move to Unreal Engine 5.8 allowed us to complete our migration to the Iris networking stack, which changes how replicated data is processed. Rather than repeatedly processing every replicated actor for each client, Iris sends updates only when needed, reducing the server cost of managing large numbers of players and placeables.

Iris doesn’t remove all server performance limitations, given the freedom players have to build at scale. But in our testing, the move to Iris has brought the biggest server performance improvement we’ve made so far.

The update also introduces new Enhanced graphics settings, alongside a range of performance, stability, modding, gameplay, and visual fixes and improvements.
