node_skip_platform_check

Harmageddon · Jun 16th 2021

When I attempt to initialize server, it blinks up for a frame then goes away. Screen capping this frame shows the error indicating Node.js is only supported on Windows 8.1 and I am running on Windows 7. It indicates that changing NODE_SKIP_PLATFORM_CHECK to 1 will disable this, but does not indicate where this file is or how to change the variable. Please advise.

As far as I am aware AKI will no longer run on Windows 7.

I understand that it is not supported since Windows 7 has obsolesced, but that is usually not the same as flat out not running. I am wondering how to access the variable to disable the platform check to see if the game will still run.

EFT live works fine on Windows 7, so it is not a game file limitation. It looks like the SPT developers have gated the platform and don't want to support Windows 7 going forward, but I would like to check if Windows 7 still works for the time being.

I am in the same boat mate, as far as I know it is due to a change of node version from 12 to 14 which no longer runs on windows 7. No easy fix, rebuild yourself with node 12 if it is within your skillset. It is not within mine.

Live EFT doesn't make you run a server under NodeJS14+
NodeJS14 doesn't support old windows anymore.

In any way if you either still want to run nodejs14 you can try that: https://github.com/nodejs/node…00#issuecomment-644530517

Eresh that is awesome, worked a treat for me ^^.

It has led to a recurrence of the notifier create spam issue unfortunately. Manual installation of the certs after generating new ones does not fix it. Any clues?
Edit, it is enough for me to do what I need to do with it, however would be an issue for actually playing.

Awesome, thank you Ereshkigal, I'll give it a shot and see if its playable.
