Since last update theres big fps drops only when wearing the helmet

@Aethamus i will check this, thx for reporting

Thank you so much for such a fantastic mod.

Even after the latest patch, I'm still experiencing this issue.

Hi Grebog,

Thank you so much for your quick response, and sorry for my late reply (Work + Xmas + 3 kids... lol). When I'm wearing the building helmet, I experience a considerable drop in framerate. They seem to drop more or less, depending on the amount of structures rendered.


I see you've uploaded a new patch, so let me check it out, and I'll get you as many details as I can.

Not really a bug, but this appears in my log on startup:

This keeps going for about 2 or 3 pages, with the occasional "DinoTamed bla bla" line.

Is this something the mod puts out? (the timestamps suggest it is), and any idea why it would do so?

Only the first line is from the builders helmet. The empty lines must be coming from another mod. The timestamp contains also the miliseconds :513. The next entry is :545. Today the computer are fast enough to do more things at the same time.

Alright. I think I know the culprit then :)

Is there a way to change the P button to another button? Map Marker doesn't work with this mod. Well actually I could change the map marker button ingame too hmm

I'm getting a strange bug on my server where in the moment I equip the helmet, the game (my client, not the server) crashes. It doesn't do it every time but it does most of the time. I'm running 42 total mods on the Valguero map, and I've used this mod with all of the other mods (minus the map) before on other maps in the past with no issue. See following post for full error.

Here's the full list of my mods: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1829667152

Fatal error!

this is strange, because you played with the helmet before without issues. perhaps it is the map?

Hmm. Could the clock on your computer be wrong?

@Grebog I'm not sure. It could be something on the server itself because I tested it in single player with the same mods in the same load order on the same map and couldn't replicate the issue. Or it just decided to cooperate for those few minutes; like I said, there have been a couple of times that it did NOT crash my game, but only a couple out of many. I'll swap the map on the server over to the previous one I used (Ebenus Astrum) later today and test again as well as have one of my friends hop on the server and test as well.

@Splutty No, it's on auto-update.

So after some trial and error, I've got it working again. My friend that helped me out was able to equip the helmet fine both in SP and on my server and I could equip it fine in SP as well, just not on the server for some reason. I just ended up wiping and reinstalling Ark (good thing I've got gigabit fiber..). So I don't really know what, but something went screwy somewhere.

*EDIT*
Scratch that, still crashing.. Screw it.
