Because you originally had 1.6 installed and then tried to overwrite with 1.5.1 it will not load and if you do load in you will receive trace errors and backend errors, I know this because I did this several times to test things. I would do a fresh install of 1.5.1 with those 2 downgrade patchers 1.3.2 and 1.3.0..

I currently have 1.6.0 installed with some mods and it seems to be working alright for the moment with the occasional hang or constant loading but it's acceptable.

Did make a fresh install as I thought the same thing! Ended up with same issue

FAQ: Endless loading / Stuck on splashscreen / Game crash to desktop (specified cast is not valid/a value)

Possible error message:

2022-01-24 16:31:50.678 +01:00|0.12.11.7.15680|Error|Default|

EXCEPTION: System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.

at Spt.SinglePlayer.Patches.Bundles.EasyAssetsPatch+<GetManifestBundle>d__10.MoveNext () [0x00105] in <e1ab24df7ac04308bdd8e498420f2589>:0

Four potential causes:

1. Your client version is wrong

2. You're missing one of the prerequisite .NET runtimes - either .NET Framework 4.7.2 or .NET 6

3. Your antivirus is blocking one of the client .DLL plugins

4. Your game files are corrupt (most likely cause of Specified cast is not valid error)

*1:

- Make sure you are using the correct client version according to your SPT version (needed version can be found on the download page)

- If not, check if a patch exists for your game version to downgrade to the needed version (Versions supported are found on the patcher page)

*2:

- Download .NET Framework 4.7.2 and .NET 6 Runtime. Order does not matter.

*3:

- Redownload and copy the SPT files into your install directory

- Consider adding an exception in your anti-virus for the SPT folder if the issue persists

*4:
- Delete everything related to EFT and SPT

- Redownload EFT from scratch and log into your live account, then start the install process for SPT again.

-(Optional) Delete the contents of the following folder `%appdata%\Battlestate Games`

- Download the installer and follow instructions

Can't be 1 as if that's the issue, it should not have worked with 1.6 as 1.6 and 1.5.1 have the same client requirement.

2. Fixed it, thank you! That didn't make sense to me though as it was fresh install. I didn't think that could be it.

I am having issues starting with 1.5.1. I originally had 1.6 and had lots of issues with but saw the warning today that 1.6 has lots of issues so I tried downgrading to 1.5.1. It hangs on the first loading screen in game. I know I have the correct version as 1.6 worked and 1.5.1 require the same client version according to the version notes. What could be my issue here? I've used downgrade patcher version 1.3.2 and 1.3

Use the downgrader. Trying to get a full version from anywhere else is piracy

Can someone explain to me how to actually set up 1.5.1 please? The AKI patcher thingy is driving me mental!

I'd be happy to help you out but that isn't related to this topic.

Edit: Sent you a conversation.

I'm also having this issue as well. I only have FixItemSell and the one for Fixing Insurance, but had the issue before adding mods too. Only factory works.
