The patcher for 16778 is not working for me, stuck at 0% and not executing any process.
Its responding with the prompt "one of the required files is not present" when i try to execute the patcher.exe in the temp files folder created by the patcher.exe, i only did that once to get any kind of response. All files are in their correct locations, Aki_Patches aswell as patcher.exe are located in the same directory as the game exe and im using the correct version of the patcher.
2 other users server messages encountering same exact problem:
1 closed thread from someone who managed to fix it appearantly by reinstalling the live game and using clean new files, but this did not work for me:
I correctly followed every step of this community members guide to the letter:
I reinstalled 25 times and tried on 3 different hard drives, i wiped every trace of BSG files from my computer and redownloaded fresh clean tarkov files several times. The behavior is always the same. Patcher doesnt execute, trying to start the game with the error results either in infinite blackscreen or instant crash. Im out of ideas, even a developer on discord told me he has no idea whats going on, i tried so many fixes at least one should have worked. So now im making this thread.
Me being an idiot or the patcher being broken is the only possible reasons i can think of. I seem to be too stupid to realize the exact extent of my stupidity, so i cant fix the problem on my own, my ego is badly hurt. The patcher being broken is highly unlikely since a lot of people have running games, even though i couldnt confirm with anyone who got 16778 working.
Attached a picture of my folder structure and error prompts that appear when i execute PatchClient.exe in PATCHER_TEMP folder
