Conan Exiles Enhanced needs a lot of memory. On Loafhosts, a Conan server with nobody on and the Isle of Siptah loaded used about 10.0 GB. With the Isle of Siptah left out it used about 5.3 GB. That is why Conan plans start at 12 GB.
The numbers
| Server state | Memory used with nobody on |
|---|---|
| Isle of Siptah loaded (a new server has it on) | about 10.0 GB |
| Isle of Siptah left out | about 5.3 GB |
A server with 8 GB was killed for memory while it was still loading with the Isle of Siptah. It never finished starting.
These are numbers for an idle server. Players, big bases and mods add to them. The panel says the same: Conan needs much memory, more with mods and big bases. How much memory a plan’s player count uses was not measured with players, so 12 GB is a floor, not a promise. The panel accepts 1 to 70 players on every plan, so watch Crashes if you raise the number.
Why the Isle of Siptah matters
Enhanced puts the Exiled Lands and the Isle of Siptah on one map, split into regions. Funcom says that leaving a region out stops its levels loading on a dedicated server and “can help lower RAM usage”. A new Loafhosts server loads both, so it uses the larger figure.
The Loafhosts plans for Conan Exiles are:
- Small: 2 cores, 12 GB of memory, 40 GB of disk, 20 players.
- Standard: 3 cores, 16 GB, 50 GB, 40 players.
- Large: 4 cores, 20 GB, 60 GB, 70 players.
The header of the server page shows memory and disk a little higher than the plan’s size (a 12 GB plan shows about 12.88 GB), and the pictures here carry demo numbers.
What a memory kill looks like
When the machine ends a server for reaching its memory limit, the game cannot save or write why. Open Crashes. The start is listed as Crashed (1) with Out of memory (2) shown as Yes, and the finding reads “The server used all its memory and was stopped”. Its fix says to leave the Isle of Siptah out if nobody plays there, remove mods you do not need, or raise the server’s memory.
- The crashed start
- Out of memory: Yes
If the game itself reports that it ran out of memory, the finding reads “The server ran out of memory”.
Use less memory
- If nobody plays on the Isle of Siptah, open World and find the Isle of Siptah card.
- Back up first (see Panel backups and schedules), then stop the server. The panel refuses the change while it runs. Not checked on Enhanced, server build 25792439 as of 13 November 2026: what happens to a character or base that is on the island when it is left out.
- Switch off 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 left out from this start, and nobody can go there.
Remove mods you do not need on the Mods page. For a bigger server, choose a bigger plan.
If it does not work
- The server stops while it loads. Its memory is too small for what it loads. Leave the Isle of Siptah out or use a bigger plan.
- It runs for a while and then stops with no save. Check Crashes for the memory finding. A kill does not save the world.
