If you are encountering AGE OF CONAN related problems that are not listed below, please post them in the comments box at the bottom of this page. Posting solutions (working or speculated ones) for AGE OF CONAN on the comment box would be more than
Problem #1 : Fatal Error while installing Age of Conan Retail version
Solution : Run the SIMPLECONFIG program in the AGE OF CONAN folder in your harddrive after the failed installation and select VERIFY/REPAIR from there
Problem #2 : “Invalid source filesize” while updating or patching Age of Conan
Solution : Make sure that you downloaded the correct patch for your Age of Conan version. If you have the correct patch suitable for your Age of Conan client, post a more detailed error message in the comment box below.
Problem #3 : Problems connecting to Age of Conan servers, or server connection is laggy.
Solution : Make sure that your router is forward the required ports to connect to Age of Conan servers. The ports for Age of Conan are TCP/UDP : 6881 to 6889 and port 7000 for Authentication.
Problem #4 : Age of Conan Authentication Errors / Authentication Failure
Solution : There are various causes of authentication errors in Age of Conan. One of them is the Authentication server catering to more users than it can handle. Try connecting again after a couple of minutes and if the error persists, see solution B.
Solution B : You may have failed to correctly register your retail CD Key. Make sure that you entered the correct Age of Conan retail key.
Solution C : For early Age of Conan registrants, you need to Upgrade your account status with an Age of Conan retail key
Solution D : You have the wrong client installed.
To check this please open up your LocalConfig.xml file located in your install directory. To open it right click and select Edit or right click and select Open With.. and pick Notepad. Your file should look something like this:
<HttpPatchAddr> http://aoc-us-update.live.ageofconan.com/upm </HttpPatchAddr>
<ClientHttpPatchAddr> http://aoc-us-gameupdate.live.ageofconan.com/upm </ClientHttpPatchAddr>
<ControlHttpPatchAddr> http://aoc-us-control.live.ageofconan.com/upm </ControlHttpPatchAddr>
<HttpPatchFolder> AoCLiveUS </HttpPatchFolder>
<UniverseAddr> aoc-us-um.live.ageofconan.com:7000 </UniverseAddr>
<DevName> conan </DevName>
<UniverseVersion> 2 </UniverseVersion>
<PatchVersion> x47bb9b332ea75aaab1148f740472aa06 </PatchVersion>
Your patch version may be a different value so ignore that if it is. If your information is not the same as listed above you have the wrong client! If you are using the Beta Client, IGN PvP Client, or Gamespot PvP Client uninstall and install the correct client. If you attempt to connect to the live servers with any of the beta clients you will experience extereme performance issues and in most cases will not be able to connect.
IF AND ONLY IF you have a localconfig that looks like this:
<HttpPatchAddr> http://aoc-eu-update.live.ageofconan.com/upm </HttpPatchAddr>
<ClientHttpPatchAddr> http://aoc-eu-gameupdate.live.ageofconan.com/upm </ClientHttpPatchAddr>
<ControlHttpPatchAddr> http://aoc-eu-control.live.ageofconan.com/upm </ControlHttpPatchAddr>
<HttpPatchFolder> AoCLiveEU </HttpPatchFolder>
<UniverseAddr> aoc-eu-um.live.ageofconan.com:7000 </UniverseAddr>
<DevName>conan</DevName>
<UniverseVersion> 2 </UniverseVersion>
<PatchVersion> x47bb9b332ea75aaab1148f740472aa06 </PatchVersion>
Then replace it with the first one listed.
Solution E : Port 7000 is blocked, make sure that your router is forwarding packets from port 7000
Problem #5 : Key invalid or already in use, please retype
Solution : Your age of conan key is already used up. If you haven’t registered with this key yet, contact your vendor and ask for a replacement if it is possible.
Problem #6 : The patcher does not load.
Solution A : Make sure that the Age of Conan client is not open or has exited properly.
Solution B : Delete your preference file
For Vista Users : C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Funcom\Conan
For XP Users : C:\Documents and Settings\UserNameLocal Settings\Application Data\Funcom\Conan
Problem #7 : The Age of Conan Patcher loops downloads / keeps downloading the same file(s)
Solution : If the Patcher keeps wanting to download the same small patch over and over again, you can fix this by opening up your Windows Task Manager and killing the AgeofConan.exe or ConanPatcher.exe process. Also you can fix it by restarting your computer and then running the ConanPatcher.exe again.
Problem #8 : Failed to Initialize Rendering SubSystem
Solution : This generally happens because your video card does not properly support Shader Model 2.0. SM2 is required to be fully supported in order for Conan to launch. You will receive this error with very old nVidia/ATI cards. Your card may not be supported due to this. If it is and you are at the lower end of the system requirements, please do the following:
1. Start the game. When you hear the music starting, a prefs file has been written and you can edit it (in Notepad for example).
2. To find this, you must go to control panel -> folder options -> view -> turn on see hidden files and folders.
3. It is found at the following location on your PC
VISTA: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Funcom\Conan\Prefs\prefs_2.xml
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\UserNameLocal Settings\Application Data\Funcom\Conan
4. Edit the line called < Value name=”RenderSetting_ShaderModel” value=”1″ />
5. It should read <Value name=”RenderSetting_ShaderModel” value=”0″ /> (NOTE: NO spaces between “<” and “Value”).
6. Launch Age of Conan.
Problem #9 : Age of conan drd9.dll error
Solution : Delete the following files from the install directory :
- shader.cache
- shader.cache.local
- shaders_cache.bin
Problem #10 : Problem running Age of Conan on Intel Integrated Graphic cards
Solution : Several users may experience problems loading the game when using Intel integrated graphics cards. While most of these cards claim to support Shader Model 2.0 or higher in actuality they do not fully support all SM2 features. Conan requires a card that fully supports SM2 or higher to run.
You may be able to run conan with the #8 solution above.
If that does not work then there is little that can be done to make it work.
Problem # 11 : Skipping / Stuttering or cracking sounds in Age of Conan
Solution : Update your sound drivers. Make sure that you install the correct updated driver.
Problem # 12 : Error message “Age of Conan has stopped working; A problem has caused this program to stop working correctly, Windows will close a program and notify you if a solution is available”
Solution : Update your video and sound drivers
Problem # 13 (as posted by laughingmime): Whenever i start up the patcher it minimises itself to my tab bar without showing up on the pc screen (even if i double click it or minimise everything else). The patcher seems to be working as it is taking up my download speed and cpu but unsure if this is going to work.
Solution (from Laughingmime’s Boyfriend) : When you see the Age of Conan Patcher stuck in TaskBar,
1.Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to open Task Manager.
2. Click Applications.
3. Select the patcher, right click and press maximize, if it still does not show, try clicking Bring to Front also.
Problem # 14 (from KevieBleeker): Age of conan starts as a blackscreen
Solution : Go to folders-
c:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Funcom\Conan\Prefs
***(If your Conan folder shows there is No “Prefs” like mine did originally, you’re gonna have to reinstall - Not re-download the whole game, just reinstall) If the Prefs folder is present, continue on… ***
Right Click Prefs_2 choose Open with..Notepad.
Find and Change
<Value name=”RenderSetting_ShaderModel” value=”1″ />
to
<Value name=”RenderSetting_ShaderModel” value=”-1″ />
Problem #15 : Age of conan Shader model errors and Shader model crashes
Solution : See solution to problem # 14
