Nekky Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 It's a little retarded, still i7 9800, 64gb, rtx, 2gb ssd drives striped. And still just under 10 minutes... What you need ask IBM for deep blue to cut down loading times? Just burning SSDs write sequences on this poop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selunie Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Any news from devs about this major issue ? Or any clever admin/coder proposed a viable solution ? What about using the cache server-side option for example ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadCow Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 So I decided to try Prim+ for the first time and I thought my computer had hung. What in the name of quarantine locked down state is the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see a fix, 2 years ago would have been nice lol. Just joined the ARK community with Steam on a macbook. 10-15m from "Play" to playing. Insane, especially after all this time.

vanyelxp5 Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 I just got a solid state drive, and am installing Ark on it. Load time on this computer pre-SSD, 17 minutes from clicking "Join last played session" to the map loading in the first time (I say first, because usually at that point it sends me back to the main menu, for another 3 minute load time for the map stuff. Thankfully it remembers the Prim+ things that otherwise take forever) I'll run a stopwatch on it again once everything is done installing again. The fact that, 3 years later, this is still a problem, and being talked about in the same thread is... kinda disappointing. There has to be a better way to integrate it into the game so it doesn't take so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanyelxp5 Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 After a restart, and running as few things as possible in both cases. This is the result of the time test. Before SSD: Prim+ load time, 14 minutes, 55 seconds, Ragnarok load time, 4 minutes, 15 seconds. Total load time, 19 minutes, 10 seconds. After SSD: Prim+ load time, 10 minutes, 26 seconds. Ragnarok load time, 3 minutes, 23 seconds. Total load time, 13 minutes, 49 seconds. Getting an SSD knocked a little over 5 minutes off of the initial load time for everything. But given how much faster an SSD reads and writes vs a normal hard drive, it should be more. This proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the problem here, is bad optimization... not people's computer specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani2mars Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 30% won of loading time with a SSD, it's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanCZ Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 This is an optimization issue for sure. And we can clearly conclude that Wildcard isn't worried about it. So I see no alternative unless learn how to live with that... It would be a dream to have the same performance in primitive+ as the default game. Disappointing.

Mephilis78 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I have a possible solution. At least for steam users. I don't really know how to do this myself because I've never made a single mod for Ark. Since the original Primitive Plus mod is still on the workshop, somebody should try to get permission from the creator to update that mod to the current game version. To hell with this official "total conversion". I'm playing on a PC that was built to play brand new games in 2021. No mod from 2017 should take 10 minutes or more to load. This mod is less than a year younger than my oldest son, ffs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
