Thank you all for the difficult and tedious job of making SP Tarkov, must be annoying to repeat work you've already done whenever a patch comes out.
It's been a sanity saver for me recently due to online Tarkov network issues.
The problem:
Saw this in the known issues thread but no answer there for this particular issue though.
I bought the Nerf gun Saiga 12 from a trader, maybe Fence. Was the last thing I did before shutdown.
When I bought the Nerf it had one round in it (Poleva 6u?), I removed that and filled the chamber and 3 mags (one each of AP-20, 8.5mm, and fletchette).
The weapon is equipped on my PMC's primary slot.
Next day on starting the game it started throwing up an error dialogue about not being able to add ammo to an already full 20 round Saiga mag.
I tried deleting the offending item from my profile (using Notepad++).
Didn't work, and now the server spits out errors on startup about setting vitality.
After making backups I tried various things, think I managed to delete the 20 round mag that was in the gun, that let me start the game but after collecting anything from hideout or moving any item the game would freeze with the moved item blinking.
Also tried the 1.6 profile editor, wanted to just get rid of the gun completely, but the editor only listed a few things in my stash. Gun was not included.
At level 45 with maybe half the quests done so I really hope there's a solution!
I'm grateful for any help you can offer.
PS There was no option for uploading my profile, happy to do so if it'll help.
