Conan Exiles

A native connector that runs inside the Conan Exiles dedicated server (Linux or Windows) and connects it to Takaro by itself: a library the Linux server preloads, or a winmm.dll next to the Windows server exe. No sidecar, no RCON, no mod. Players do not install anything.

Install

1. Before you start

A Conan Exiles dedicated server (Steam app 443030, branch public) on build 25792439, 25738716 or 25639945, that you can stop, start and copy files to. On any other build the connector stays connected but refuses every action and logs why.
Linux: control of the server’s start command (to set LD_PRELOAD).
A Takaro game server of type Generic and its registration token.

2. Download

Download the latest release from takaro.io/games/conan-exiles (or from the latest conan-exiles-v* release at https://github.com/gettakaro/connectors/releases; not the conan-exiles-dev or pr-* pre-releases). Take the zip for your platform and server build:

Server	Download
Linux	`takaro-conan-exiles-native-linux-<build>-<version>.zip`
Windows	`takaro-conan-exiles-native-windows-<build>-<version>.zip`

<build> is 25792439, 25738716 or 25639945. Each zip holds one folder, TakaroConanNative/, with the connector, a copy of the full install guide and a SHA256SUMS of its files.

3. Install

Stop the server first. Keep RCON off; the connector does not use it (Game.ini: [RconPlugin] RconEnabled=0).

Linux: unzip TakaroConanNative/ anywhere the server user can read, for example /home/steam/TakaroConanNative/. Keep ca-certificates.crt next to the library; the connector uses it for the secure connection to Takaro.

/home/steam/TakaroConanNative/
    libtakaro-conan-native.so
    ca-certificates.crt

Start the server with your usual flags and the library preloaded:

LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/TakaroConanNative/libtakaro-conan-native.so ./ConanSandboxServer.sh -log

In Docker, mount the folder into the server container and set LD_PRELOAD in the container’s environment instead. The library only activates in the server process; the launcher script ignores it.

Windows: copy winmm.dll into ConanSandbox\Binaries\Win64\ and start the server as usual:

ConanSandbox\Binaries\Win64\
    ConanSandboxServer-Win64-Shipping.exe
    winmm.dll

4. Configure

On the first start the connector creates ConanSandbox/Saved/Config/Takaro/takaro.json. Set registrationToken to the token from Takaro and save. No restart is needed: it connects within a few seconds. Optional: name (the server name in Takaro) and serverChatName (see below). You can also create the file before the first start:

{
  "url": "wss://connect.takaro.io/",
  "registrationToken": "<your registration token>",
  "identityToken": "",
  "name": "",
  "protocol": 1
}

Leave identityToken empty; the connector fills in a unique one. Never change it afterwards. Leave protocol at 1 (it falls back to 0 on an older Takaro by itself); set 0 only if the console says Takaro refuses protocol 1. A changed protocol also applies on save.

Map (optional). Takaro shows your players on a grid out of the box. For the in-game map as background, upload the game’s map image once in Takaro: open the game server’s map, pick The Exiled Lands or Isle of Siptah and upload; do not enter any bounds. Which image and where to get it: MAP.md.

Server chat name (optional). Messages from Takaro show the sender players see, Takaro by default. The sender is the chat name set for this server in Takaro; a change there applies to the next message, no restart needed. On a Takaro version that does not send that name, set serverChatName in takaro.json instead; the name set in Takaro wins over it.

5. Check that it works

The server console shows Takaro: connected to Takaro as "<name>".
The connector’s log, ConanSandbox/Saved/Logs/TakaroConanNative.log, shows build-id … = build 25792439, … verified (your server build) and takaro: identified.
Takaro shows the server online and Test connection reports it reachable.
If it is not connected, the console shows a **** block naming the problem and the file. Fix the file and save it; the connector reconnects within a few seconds.

6. Upgrade

Stop the server, replace libtakaro-conan-native.so and ca-certificates.crt (Linux) or winmm.dll (Windows) with the files from the new zip, and start the server. takaro.json is never touched, so the server keeps its place in Takaro. After a game update, wait for a connector release that names the new build; until then the connector stays connected but refuses every action. Rollback and removal: INSTALL.md.

What works, what doesn’t

Checked on server build 25792439 (Linux and Windows), 2026-10-09. ✅ works, ⚠️ works with a limit, ❌ not supported.

What		Notes
Connection	✅	Reconnects within about a second after an established connection drops (so Takaro does not flag the server offline), backs off up to 60 s while Takaro stays unreachable, and closes a silently dead link itself; events from an outage are queued on disk and delivered once.
Player list	✅	Steam64 id (also for Funcom-account logins), name, IP and ping.
Player location	✅
Teleport	✅	Module teleports included.
Player inventory	✅	Backpack, hotbar and equipment with durability.
Item list	✅	In-game names.
Entity list	⚠️	In-game names; not compared against the game, which shows none.
Locations	✅	The named places of the Exiled Lands as map markers, also when nobody is online.
World map	⚠️	Exiled Lands on Linux; the background needs the one-time upload (see Configure). Windows and Isle of Siptah are not checked.
Send a message	⚠️	Broadcasts and whispers work. On Windows the server messages module is not checked.
Console commands	✅	`exit` and `quit` are refused. With nobody online an unknown command gets no answer, and the result says so.
Kick	✅	The player sees the reason.
Ban and unban	✅	Timed and permanent, also offline; banned players cannot rejoin.
Ban list	✅	With reason and expiry.
Give an item	✅	Weapons and tools arrive at full durability.
Shop	⚠️	Buying in game, orders from Takaro, bundles, offline orders and refusal without enough currency work, and so does the in-game balance. `@claim` in game is not checked.
Shut down the server	✅	Countdown in chat, then a clean exit.
Player joined / left	✅	Also for a brand-new character, kicks and shutdown.
Chat messages	✅
Player death	⚠️	With position; a PvP killer is not checked.
Entity killed	✅	Creature name and weapon.
Server log lines	✅
Discord chat bridge	✅	Both directions, plus module posts and join/leave notices. Use the `chatBridgeNoEcho` module.
Modules	✅	Chat commands, hooks, cronjobs and teleports. The server messages module is not checked on Windows.

Known issues

Works only on server builds 25792439, 25738716 and 25639945; a game update needs a new connector release.
Linux needs control of the start command for LD_PRELOAD; some rented hosts do not allow it.
A death by the Suicide command carries no cause in its message.
