Infinite Title Screen

Quote from ProfPenetration

I have followed the instructions to the best of my abilities and read some other threads, but none of the their solutions seemed to help mine. I have copied over the live EFT files into another folder, used the AKI patcher to downgrade it to 12.10, and then installed AKI 1.5.1. I have tried removing the shared.ini file in my documents as well as making sure that I had the .NET Framework 4.7.2 and 3.5 downloaded as well.

Try just wiping the documents of Tarkov in total. Delete everything inside.

Second option, run the server first make sure that's all good, then run the launcher.

Go from the Launcher > Settings > Clear both Game Settings & Clean Temp Files.

Check the shared.ini again and set FOV to 0.

Lastly on top of that, be sure to check that you have actually played live Tarkov once just by loading in and getting meta-data or whatever it is. Then copy the live files into whatever AKI folder you have that you want, that's a common mistake most make even myself at one point.

See if that helps with the infinite loading.

Well, I tried clearing the game settings and cleaning up the temp files as well as setting the FOV to 0 in the shared.ini file and am still getting the loading screen. I also just finished a raid on live Tarkov in order to get the "meta-data" but I'm not entirely sure which files those are

Unfortunate then, I tried those methods above when I was having infinite loading issues and I resolved them myself. You don't need to do a raid, just need to log into your hideout when in-game and just alt+F4 out after and just copy-paste all the live files into your AKI folder.

Then take the steps of getting the patcher, run that until its complete and then run your desired patch. 1.5.1

So if I'm reading this right, you are saying that I should delete everything within my AKI folder, copy the live Tarkov folder into the AKI folder, run the patcher, and then drop the 1.5.1?

Alright. I'll type up this method.

Log once into liveEFT in-game > Quit out > Copy all of the files inside liveEFT > Create <Folder> > Dump files inside > Run patcher until completion > then drop the update you want.

From what I can see you are running 0.12.11.1 you need to get to 0.12.10.

By doing that, you need the latest update, you need the latest patcher and you need to run 1.5.1 AKI.

Latest patcher requires up to date version of Live EFT (at time of writing 0.12.11.2.14002) and downgrades to the correct version for AKI 1.5.1. This is all clearly labeled in the versions tab.
