Game not starting, just... poppin in and out of screen with total blackness

Unfortunately your logs aren't giving me any indication of issues. May be worth going back through this guide in case you missed something during install.

I'm getting the exact same issue. My best guess at the moment is that the Patcher is out of date. I've checked everything else and re-installed everything twice now. I made sure to have .NET installed, re-installed the specified versions of DirectX, reinstalled Visual Studio C++, made sure everything was running As Administrator, and still whenever I try to play the game from the launcher with the server running, it minimizes the launcher and the screen flashes black and the launcher reappears. If it's not the Patcher, then I'm completely stumped. Otherwise, I guess we just have to wait until SPT-AKI is updated for the recent EFT wipe....

Well that's bizarre. I've updated Windows and my gpu driver, still just a quick flash and then back to the Launcher. Oh well

Normally the cause of this is incorrect game version, as there have been a handful of update / different patcher releases, it wold not surprise me if this is the case. Double check your version and the requirements for whichever install method you are using.

I have a question. Is it wrong to have somebody share you the correct update so you can use the mod? I have the game but updated it to the latest so I'm looking for an alternative while I wait.

Check the rules, there is a big banner at the top of every page even. Just asking will often lead to an instant ban.

Finally, a solution! Used the All-in-One installation from the Discord. No idea what made the difference, but it worked for me.

Asking for a pirated game sure, but to downsize an update? That's a bit far.

It is there in black and white mate, I have nothing more to say on the matter and I have no decision making on such things.

Did we find a fix for this?? Ive reinstalled everything 3 times now and it flashes and closes.. live servers work just fine for me and I was running this no problem last patch.. now it flashes and closes

Where is the discord link so I can try this method?

I too would like a link to the Discord.
