    Yeah, seems weird. I'd recommend, at this point, a reinstall of Tarkov live game. Copy the files to a brand new directory, deleting the old, and re-trying. I fixed mine by nuking the archive, and reinstalling.

    So that's what I did....and then it worked!? Which is weird because I think that was try number three. WHATEVER! Problem solved, thanks for sticking it out with me, what a weird run, eh?

    Sincerely, thank you!

    Redownloaded 1.5.0 patcher and ran it. For funsies I ran it again after I ran it the first time, just in case because whatever. Interesting thing happened, that might be totally normal? Popped an error on the patcher on 87/1527 "Could not find file E:\Escapefromtarkov\aki\escapefromtarkov_data\level177


    After that it quits out.


    NOW, that might be something the patcher was expecting to delete and I would've replaced once unpacking the 1.5.1 SPT file, but wanted to call it out just in case it's deleting something weird that might be doing this?


    Edit: followup, same issue. Also, I did notice when unpacking 1.5.1 I'm not prompted to replace any files? Usually there would be conflicts it'd want to replace, right?

    No joy. Just did a complete wipe, pulled back from my EFT live folder, copied, down patched, unloaded 1.5.1, and it's the same thing. It's like something somewhere is set up with info that needs to be cleared. Went into settings and just clicked all the "clear x" buttons for posterity and tried again - same issue.


    It's for some reason not doing a "new" setup - even though I'd deleted everything and started over. Very odd.


    Thoughts?

    That's correct - exactly how I have it set up! It's E:\EscapeFromTarkov\SPT AKI

    One of my non boot drives was all I meant to communicate!


    So looking at the above - do you think it might be an issue that I have SPT and BSG folders like this? Would I want to move the AKI folder to another drive entirely?

    E:\Battlestate Games

    E:\EscapeFromTarkov\APT AKI\

    Alright, I'm a linear thinker, so I'm gonna bullet point how I did this and where I ended up.

    BSG folder is in root of drive

    Created root\EscapeFromTarkov\AKI folder

    Created root\EFT Backup folder

    Opened live game folder, copied and pasted one copy into each of the above created

    in AKI folder, unzipped patcher to downgrade to 12.10.2.12893

    Run patcher - successful

    Unzipped AKI-1.6.0 into AKI folder, "yes to all" when replace conflict pops

    Run server - successful

    Run launcher, register, then get "SPT shouldn't be installed in live game directory" error. Double checked for sanity, but for sure not using the live directory.


    I have now twice deleted everything in *\AKI to just start over, but subsequent times the server doesn't do the setup, rather just acts like it's been set up before (doesn't download self-sign cert, etc), and when I open the launcher, I'm already signed in, no need to register like a new setup, and I get the above error again.


    Feel like I'm going crazy - thoughts?


    Thanks for the help!
