Endless loading on loading screen despite proper live version and a successful downgrade

Yeah, I just had the same issue. I had to fight with my anti-virus to get it to stop deleting the launcher first, and then I ran into this same issue

Ok, I got my game working, it seems. I'm not sure what exactly fixed it, but I did two things. I first deleted everything from the downgrader extract minus the "user" (so "Aki_data" and "Patcher.exe") after I successfully ran it, and I then temporarily shut off my anti-virus before I did the initial server launch. Hope one of these helps! I would also recommend starting from scratch with the whole process, aka clearing your SPT directory and copying the live game files all over again.

I've got the same problem...but only when i want to log back in to the official EFT launcher. i get an endless loading screen on it.

i do know that the defender views the launcher as a trojan and blocks it and deletes its install. when i allowed it then it installed fine.

yep danersx. yours is a different issue maybe. do you use the launcher that is added via spt and not the official eft logo'd launcher?

i dont think running patch helps after the first time as it probably changes files and file names which then the patcher wont be able to find said files again. also after looking at mine, my server version that was installed by patch is 1.o.o not 1.5

mine looks similar. i don't have the battleeye folder, eft b.e (battleeye) since I particularly didn't copy those. only thing i see different is the patcher files second above your highlighted line. idk what that its not in mine.

also you mentioned you extract the server and launcher files separately and i do just whole package spi-aki. I'm a novice so I don't have pointers. just saying some differences that I could say have an impact lol

i dont know if the fix is the same as a problem I had (but this was my live tarkov having an endless loading screen), but in the Documents/EFT folder, open the shared.ini file and find FOV and set the value for 20 or less. (recall something to do with the patcher downgrade). again, not sure if that would work, but it fixed my live tarkov endless loading.

Thank you so much, i was stuck on an endless loop on live tarkov and this fixed it. I wonder why changing the FOV fixes this?

To my understanding something. Not sure if it's something done with bleeding edge or another server but I was able to set FOV up to 300+ which was weird. After that, I couldn't start the game. It seems the game doesn't know how to handle invalid parameters and gets stuck on loading.
