Greetings,

sometimes I take damage from a sandstorm, that is just not there. Most of the times this happens a few minutes _before_ the sandstorm arrives at my place

edit: oh, if it is helpful, my base is in the west of area G8.
the only mods my server loads _after_ SandstormEx are Pippi and Age of Calamitous.

@Galgisifr

It could be due to the way the selected sandstorm is sent to the clients, this will be changed in the next version of the mod.

I will push an update tomorrow that "should" fix it as it's a little late to get into the devkit tonight

I have pushed an update that should hopefully fix the issue, please report back if the bug still persists =)

@hades

Seems to be fixed. Thanks a lot!

While looking into the bug, I found another bug in the games sandstorm code that causes the an invisible sandstorm if its running while you login, this is not related to SandstormEx and I've informed the dev's.

If you experience that I released a temp fix here. SandstormFix_EXP

Sometimes the weather doesn't reset to normal. It stays all dark.

@Nicolai Maximov

1: does this happen with the first sandstorm after the player logs in?
2: is the sandstorm synced on all the client that gets the issue?
3: does it happen with a specific sandstorm route?
4: does it happen at the end of a sandstorm event?

For 1 and 2, are you using SandstormFix_EXP mod? this mod fixes a known bug in the games sandstorm that happens when logging in (the funcom developers are already aware of this).

I've also just updated the SandstormFix_EXP with a possible fix for the sky fade bug (the only way I've been able to replicate the sky fade bug so far).

@hades

1: Yes
2: Yes, everyone sees the sandstorm!
3: No, but I noticed that this happens mostly in the region around Sepermeru
4: Yes, the sandstorm is gone, but the weather stays orange/dark

No, I am not using your fix, but i will try it out and comment here!

EDIT:

Your fix is working! No more darkness bug!

Thanks for confirming the fix is working =)

In the next update of SandstormEx I'll extend the splines (routes), that should allow the sky fade to move out of view which should avoid the bug found in "BP_Sandstorm_Sky_Fade"

Although SandstormFix_EXP will still be needed to fix the sync issue at login, I'm expecting the game to patched for this bug.

@hades, @Multigun I have a strange behavior when using the mod. My thralls will not eat anymore. I tried with only SandstormEx enabled, but still. As soon as i disable the mod the thralls eat again. By eating i mean dragging a consumable like grilled meat to their inventory (i usuly give them one so they get the buff). Tried with a bearer and multiple fighters.

It's a known issue that can occur with any mod that uses a mod controller. Which most mods do, including this one. There isn't a fix for any mod that suffer's from it either, it's out of our control.

thank you. that's unfortunate.

Great mod, but some combination between this mod plus Sandstorm Fix is causing server crashes whenever a sandstorm hits. I'm going to try to disable the experimental monster spawns to see if that fixes it. I hope so!

As of the Age of Sorcery Performance Patch the sandstorm doesn't really render in now. The sky turns red and darkens, but none of the cloud animations appear. Sometimes the sandstorm does damage, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you get the windblown sand effect and sometimes you don't. I first encountered this on my private server (which runs a couple of other mods). I went into single player mode and installed just this mod and experienced the same behavior. I then went to an official server and waited for a sandstorm to occur. The sandstorm on the official server was as it normally is. So, I think the issue is probably with this mod.

Did you discover the broken bridge in any of your tests?
