Turn the Isle of Siptah on or off, Conan Exiles

Switch the Isle of Siptah on a Conan Exiles server from the World page. Stop first; it applies at the next start. Leaving it out uses much less memory.

Updated , checked on Conan Exiles Enhanced, server build 25792439

To load or leave out the Isle of Siptah, stop the server, open World, and use the switch Load the Isle of Siptah in the Isle of Siptah card. The change applies at the next start. Leaving the island out uses much less memory.

Conan Exiles Enhanced puts the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah in one map, split into regions. A server can leave a region out.

Why it matters

The island costs memory. On a Loafhosts server, measured:

  • With the Isle of Siptah loaded and nobody on, the server used about 10.0 GB.
  • With it left out, about 5.3 GB.
  • A server with 8 GB was killed for memory while it loaded with the island.

These figures are for an idle server. A played world with mods and big bases uses more. A new server has the island on. If nobody plays there, leave it out and the server has far more room.

Steps

  1. Stop the server and wait until it is offline. The game keeps its world open while it runs. Take a panel backup first if players have built on the island (Settings, Backups).
  2. Open the World page.
  3. Find the card Isle of Siptah. Its text reads “The island east of the Exiled Lands. Leaving it out makes the server use much less memory.”
  4. Turn the switch Load the Isle of Siptah (1) off or on. The text beside it says what you chose:
    • On: “Players can sail to the island and play there.”
    • Off: “Left out: nobody can go there, and the server uses less memory.”
  5. The panel confirms “The Isle of Siptah is left out from the next start.” or “The Isle of Siptah is back from the next start.”
  6. Start the server.

What the panel writes

Leaving the island out adds these lines to ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini:

[Regions]
ExcludedRegions=IsleOfSiptah

The game’s makers explain it: a disabled region’s levels are not loaded on a dedicated server. You may still see the region, but it will not work. That can lower memory use.

Turning the switch back on takes the setting out again. In the Config Editor, the Engine file shows the same setting as Regions left out. The World page is the easier place to change it. The Engine file can be saved only while the server is stopped.

What players see

With the island left out, nobody can go there.

Not checked on “Enhanced, server build 25792439” as of 13 November 2026: what happens to a character or a base that is on the island while it is left out. Ask players to leave it first.

If it does not work

  • The change is refused. The server is running: the page says “stop the server first”. Stop it, then switch.
  • Nothing changed after the start. The change applies at the next start. Stop the server and start it again.
  • The server was stopped by the machine with an “out of memory” finding. See server memory requirements. Leave the island out, remove mods you do not need, or use a bigger plan.
  • You cannot open World. Your role may not be allowed to read files on this server.
