Aki.server closes itself immediately after launching the game

I launch the server, then the launcher and everythings fine. I launch the game and the server immediately closes itself and i'm perpetually loading.
I open the server again it says port 6969 is already in use so i check the task manager and i see the server still running silently in the background for a few mins before finally shutting down.
I don't know what's causing it, i followed the installation manual correctly, i reinstalled about 4 times now.

Your log is filled with write attempt errors, try moving your SPT folder to a different location, some folders have extra protections that stop programs writing changes to them.

Try C:\Games\spt

I don't have space for it in C drive, is there another way?

You can have it on the same drive, it needs to be in a different folder

Doesn't work. Same issue
