    When i go to boot the game, i get the message "The input file has doesnt match the expected hash. You may be using the wrong version of AKI for your client files" I have been using the SPT 2.2.2, the patcher to downgrade my version from 16909 to 16778. I have deleted and reinstalled from the ground up. The patcher seems to freeze on me but when i check the version of the game in properties it says 16778, changed from the current version of my live build (16909) I have used previous iterations of the SPT without issue and i'm at the point where im starting to loose hair. Can anyone advise me where to start troubleshooting this?


    I also cant seem to locate the client log or the modules log

    I'm only a newbie myself but I'd be inclined to the do the following, take a fresh copy of your live EFT to a new location, launch the loader and perform a 'verify files' - then perform the downgrade and SPT install, ideally you wouldn't get any freezes in the patcher.

    I tried that just now and although the patcher tells me the version is 16778 it still gets stuck on the first file and I receive the same hash error when I go to launch the game

    Are you coping a fresh live install or a previously SPT patched one? I notice in your logs the ragfair message which I don't see in mine- I don't know if that is a mod or part of the core SPT-AKI though..

    Bizarre, have you tried using a new folder name? e.g. if you've called it spt-aki 2.2.2 each time so far, naming the folder spt-new or something like that?

    I've just re run the process as described; took a copy of the live eft folder at version 0.12.12.15-16909-6f1ef30d - pasted in the contents of the patcher zip and applied it, see the screenshot for the number of changed files (does yours have the same numbers?) and then extracted 2.2.2 into the folder, running without issue. I'm looking across the logs and again don't see any reference to the RagFair line in yours, after [DEBUG] Profile file updated- which is strange..

    I believe I found the issue. I did as you said and started fresh with new folder names and the patcher worked fine. Still not sure what was causing the original issue, but fresh with new names cleared it up. Thanks for your time and advice itsMickle
