  • "The input file hash doesn't match the expected hash" after upgrading to current AKI release and reinstall of SPT-AKI

    Quote from Sir_Player_One

    That seems to have fixed the issue! Was incredibly easy, too, though a bit time consuming. Say, while we're here, you wouldn't happen to know anything about restoring your SPT-AKI game settings from the BAK files it creates when you "Clear Game settings" from the launcher? I had tried deleting both temp files and my game settings when I was originally troubleshooting the problem before making this post.

    I do not, I'm sorry.

    To be honest, I would wait just a little bit while longer for EFT 0.12.12 to make it to SPT-AKI and start over fresh from there.

  • "The input file hash doesn't match the expected hash" after upgrading to current AKI release and reinstall of SPT-AKI

    When you upgraded from one version to the other, did you do a drag-n-drop operation to overwrite an existing installation of SPT-AKI?


    If so, that is why you are getting the hash mismatch and running into issues.


    You have to get a fresh, untouched copy of your OG Escape From Tarkov installation. You are able to temporarily move the */user/ folder out of SPT-AKI, delete the entire SPT-AKI installation folder, put the fresh copy of EFT, patch in SPT-AKI and use the downgrader, and move the /user/ folder back in, that way you can retain your profile and your mods. I have a proper list of steps in this post here: RE: Stuck on Loading Screen


    I hope this fixes your issues!

  • Stuck on Loading Screen

    Quote from UNST3RBLICH

    Since my BSG launcher was set to update automatically, I turned updates to manual, copied the game folder, and downloaded the Patcher from v12.11.7.15453 to v15426. Ran the Patcher and it said it was successful. Ran the Server.exe and it let me set up an account. Ran the Launcher.exe and the Escape From Tarkov splash screen came up, along with a pop-up message that said the "input file hash doesn't match the expected hash. You may be using the wrong version of the AKI for your client files". I double-checked and I downloaded and installed the correct Patch version. If I click Continue it loads into the EFT splash screen and just loads endlessly.


    Screenshots attached for review.


    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Same, my guess is we'll have to wait for the next SPT patch

    If you are downgrading, be sure to:

    1) Make a backup of the "user" folder in your Aki Install folder.

    2) Delete everything in your Aki Install folder.

    3) Move the contents of the "EFT (live)" folder into the Aki Install folder.

    4) Use the patcher.

    5) Extract the contents of the SPT-AKI installation into the Aki Install folder.

    6) Copy the "user" folder back so you don't lose your profile.


    You cannot simply copy-paste the "EFT (live)" folder and overwrite the Aki Install folder, it will not work. It will still have remnants from the outdated version of Tarkov which is why the checksum doesn't match what the Launcher wants.
