Pro tips -
Delete the shader cache every time you crash/logout..
Hit ctrl+§ and disable rendering of foilage and grass..
Turn off sound completely..
DEFRAG YOUR DRIVE WITH CONAN ON !
Personally, the game was more or less unplayable for the first two days.. Nighttime Tortage was somewhat doable, but the frequent lockups made me die in almost all fights -> more loadingtimes and corpseruns.. After i started doing the above steps, i can actually play daytime aswell (whohoo) without mucho problems apart from a fps around 15-25..

Oh, and as im typing this i just downloaded a 33mb patch

LEts see how it all works after the defrag im doing now.. Yes, defrag the conan folder every single time you get a patch or delete your shader cache, makes the game load SO much smoother..
