Few things.

1. Are you absolutely sure it's EC related? Try removing the mod first and play the game (note, if you play a previously saved game, all tamed EC dinos will be erased, so make a backup save before attempting).

2. If the game does not crash after removing EC, try reinstalling the mod (unsubscribe, then subscribe).

3. If that doesn't work either, check your other mods as they may be in conflict with EC (Also, make sure EC is the first mod in priority. ALWAYS)

no on the main menu i crash

Then it doesn't sound like it's mod related, and you'd probably get better answers by posting this on general discussion.

In any case, here's what I would do.

1. Verify the game file's integrity (Right click on Ark in your steam library for properties, then local files), and let it run and correct any corruptions. Then try again. If it still crashes, continue the next step.

2. Uninstall the game completely, delete all files in your steam folder (except for maybe saved maps). Your file should be located somewhere like this, C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\ARK

3. Unsubscribe all mods as well.

4. Install the game again and run the game (DO NOT SUBSCRIBE MODS YET)

5. If it doesn't crash, great! Subscribe the mods again and have a good day.

Well done @Panda.

Hope it works out for you Angel ;)
