Ban a player on your Conan Exiles server

Ban a player on your Conan Exiles server from the Players page with a reason. The server must be running, and a ban of someone who is not on can be refused.

Updated , checked on Conan Exiles Enhanced, server build 25792439

A ban takes a player off the server and keeps them out until you lift it. A Conan Exiles ban has no length: it lasts until someone lifts it. Do it from the row menu on the Players page. The server must be running. The game can refuse a ban of a player who is not on now, and the page then shows the game’s own answer.

Ban a player

  1. Open the server, then Players.
  2. Find the player. Someone on the server now is in On now. Someone who has played before is in Characters in the world.
  3. Open the menu on their row (the three dots).
  4. Choose Ban (1). It is the red item.

  1. Ban
  1. A box asks “Ban (name)?” and says “They are taken off the server and cannot join again until the ban is lifted.”
  2. Type a Reason (1) if you want one. It can be up to 200 characters and is kept with the ban. Without one, the panel sends “Banned by an admin”. What the player sees of the reason has not been checked.
  3. Choose Ban (2).

  2. Confirm the ban

The page shows the game’s own answer to the ban. The player then shows in the Bans card on the right, and has the Banned tag in Characters in the world. The game keeps its ban list in ConanSandbox/Saved/blacklist.txt and reads it again when the server starts.

To undo it, see lift a ban. To ban someone you cannot find in the lists, see ban by id. For a short removal, use a kick.

Why a ban can say “No player with platform ID”

The panel sends the ban to the game, and shows the game’s answer if the game says no. For a player who is not on the server, the game can answer No player with platform ID and the id. The ban is then not made. This was measured even for a character that exists in the world but is not on now.

What you can do:

  • Ban them while they are on the server, from On now.
  • Add them to the whitelist, and turn on Only whitelisted players, so only people you chose can join. See the whitelist.

Not checked on Enhanced, server build 25792439 as of 13 November 2026: a ban of someone who is on the server now has not been tried with a real player.

What you need

  • The server running.
  • A role that allows moderating players.

If it does not work

  • Ban is missing from the menu. Your role does not allow moderating players, or the row has no player id.
  • The page says the game said No player with platform ID. The player is not on the server. See above.
  • The page says the server is starting or not answering. Try again once it is up. The game answers about half a minute after a start.
