If these don’t work, head to the solutions listed next.
1. Update the game
Since the devs have acknowledged the bug, a patch for it is expected in future updates. So, keep checking for updates in Steam, and install each that shows up.
If installing the updates doesn’t fix things, and Conan Exiles settings are still not saving, head to the next method.
2. Save network setting with a workaround
If the Conan Exiles server settings are not saving and they keep reverting to default, make the desired changes, head to theGameplaytab, change theNuditysettings to anything else, and then go back to the previous value.
Once done, you can now save the new server settings, and these should apply effectively. Remember, this is just a workaround shared by a user, which did the trick for others but might not work in every case. In case it doesn’t help you, head to the next solution.
3. Modify the attributes for Conan Exiles’ installation folder
If it was theRead-onlyfolder attributes that triggered problems responsible for Conan Exiles settings not saving, this should do.
4. Delete the modlist.txt file
When nothing works, and you are facing issues with nudity settings and other similar ones, a quick trick is to delete themodlist.txtfile. It can be found in the following location:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam>steamapps>common>Conan Exiles> ConanSandbox>Mods>modlist.txt
After you have deleted it, restart the game, and the new settings should apply. A user also reported configuring its attribute toRead-only, the opposite of what we did in the last solution.
By the time you reach this part, you will have realized that there’s no single solution that works for everyone. So, try all our recommendations, and one of these should do it.
