The Isle of Siptah is the biggest memory cost on a Conan Exiles server. On Loafhosts, a server with the island loaded used about 10.0 GB with nobody on it. The same server with the island left out used about 5.3 GB. If nobody on your server plays on the island, leave it out.
Who should leave it out
Leave it out if:
- Your players stay in the Exiled Lands.
- The server was stopped by the machine for using all its memory. The Crashes page says “The server used all its memory and was stopped” when this happens.
- You want room to add mods or let bases grow.
- The crashed start
- Out of memory
Keep it if players sail to the island. The island is part of the same map. A new server has it loaded.
Why it matters
Funcom’s Enhanced game puts the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah on one map, split into regions. A region you leave out is not loaded at all. Funcom says leaving a region out “can help lower RAM usage on dedicated servers.”
The smallest Loafhosts plan has 12 GB of memory for this reason. An 8 GB server was killed for memory while loading with the island. The 10.0 GB and 5.3 GB figures were measured with nobody online. A played world with mods and big bases uses more.
Leave it out
- Stop the server. The game keeps its world open while it runs, so the panel refuses the change on a running server.
- Open the World page.
- Find the Isle of Siptah card.
- Turn off Load the Isle of Siptah (1).
- Load the Isle of Siptah
The panel says “The Isle of Siptah is left out from the next start.” Start the server. The island is not loaded from then on, so nobody can go there.
To bring it back, turn Load the Isle of Siptah on again with the server stopped. The panel says “The Isle of Siptah is back from the next start.”
Take a panel backup first (Settings, Backups) if players have built on the island, and ask them to leave it. Not checked on “Enhanced, server build 25792439” as of 13 November 2026: what happens to a character or a base that is already on the island when you leave it out.
By hand
The switch writes one line in ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Engine.ini:
[Regions]
ExcludedRegions=IsleOfSiptahYou can also see it in the Config Editor, under Engine, as Regions left out.
If it does not work
- The switch is refused. The server is running. Stop it first.
- Memory is still high. Mods and bases add to it. Take off mods you do not need on the Mods page. See the out-of-memory fix.
- Players cannot find the island. That is the point of the setting. Turn the switch back on to restore it.
