Host Tether Distance

[SlightSight]

Is there a way or mod to remove host tether distance or just to increase is to a amount that it allows players to go to the opposite sides of the map and not get teleported.

No and absolutely no way to mod something like that. Single Player is designed differently from server play, it can't be done.

If you feel your computer can handle being able to render the whole world and play the game, you can use the Dedicated Server Launcher[forums.funcom.com] and host your own free private server. That will result in tether going away, but you should have a more then adequate PC to handle those responsibilities.

I did try it but it does not work. When I enter the stuff and hit save changes everything dissapears. I also can't find the server even though it says it is working. But thanks anyways

Direct IP works better, I never could figure out finding the server in the list thing (or really bothered to really figure it out). Not sure why saving changes doesn't work though. I've been using it for months, never had any issue with that.

Why can they not make it so that you can increase the host tether distance. In ark there is no limit but they cap it on Conan. I may be possible to mod something like that by removing or increase the cap to a very big number

[Multigun]

As I explained earlier, it cannot be modded. At all. Ark's map is designed differently, but I'm not going to get into the technical reasons. Simply put, what you want isn't going to going to happen, it's not something where you just change a few numbers around.

given that tethering exists at all says there is a way to change it or even delete it!!!! i may not be an expert on computers but i understand enough to tell me that if it exists then there is a way to change it otherwise why is it there in the first place other than to annoy people forcing them to pay money they dont have to get a server they dont fully understand how to setup n run!!!!!!!!

....I give up. You all believe whatever it is you want to believe, it's still not going to magically poof into existence.

(Thread necromancy but eh it's still relevant to the issue so..)

Let me explain this a different way. You're not wrong in that you technically *can* program around this to give you a tethering distance of half the map if you wanted?

However the game engine itself (on a non dedicated server) only renders a certain portion of the world map at a time. So if you were to increase the tethering distance beyond the maximum default limit you would basically be able to walk "off the world" and would either enter a empty area where the world and enemies are no longer rendered, or enter an area before this where the terrain is still visible, but the physics for it are not active, where in you would fall through the world to your doom.

Yes, technically, you could program the game to render more of the map than it does currently, but without doing this as a dedicated server you'll run into lag and performance issues that make the game unplayable. In short, while you can in theory do such, it wouldn't work out in a way that's playable, so you're better off just going with the free dedicated server option instead.

Oh ya, there is. It is called writing your own game that doesn't use a tether. I'm sure since you know so much about how this works, that should be no problem for you

Sorry for necroposting, but it may be usefull for people, like me search for ansver. You can edit file "ServerSettings.ini" located "...\Steam\steamapps\common\Conan Exiles\ConanSandbox\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor". Add parametaer "CoopTetheringLimit=520000.000000" (10x against vanilla max limit) if not exist to end fo file. You can set another value if wanted. May need a lot of RAM.

its easy to create a real server. its the best if you play alone with couple of friends. i can create one and host for 10 Players and its still lag free

You find the Server Launcher within the Funcom Forums. Its really easy.
Dont waste time with tethering.

Basically to get what you want they'd have to do what ARK did and double the size of the game, with conans map it's compressed and only loads the zones that you're in technically.

The reason for Arks size (and removeable tether distance technically) is because the whole map isn't compressed.

Your main option is just to host a private server from G-Portal since people on officials have like 10 bases everywhere and took all the good spots.

When I set up my single player/coop game, that "52000" was what the tether distance slider defaulted to. You can reduce it with admin rights or increase to that number (not beyond).

Just edit .ini file after create game and reload saved game.

The game uses the host to determine how far away something spawns in (in a co-op game). Everything else is absent to save on performance. How do spawn things around you when you aren't the host? If you cannot, there's no point in cheating the tether.

Additionally, the added lag of more things spawning in. Officials are laggier than SP because of that, if I understand that right.
