Simple installation guide:

  • Open the newly extracted folder.

Autostart:

This launcher features a little optional tool: autostart.txt

It looks like this:

If autostart is set to true then the launcher will try to auto-start SPT-AKI by finding an installation with the matching CaSe sensitive name.

FIKA users:

A new server mod now exists on my GitHub. It allows you to launch SPT if you’re using same-PC hosting with Fika’s Dedicated Client hosting solution:

hi Dev, I try to use the Launcher but get a error from Microsoft.NET Framework

“Could not load file assembly “system.Text.Json Version=8.0.0.0 Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51’

any help?

GM dev,

Just to inform you that your launcher is not working. It reports the following error to me. “[Error :SPT.Custom] A PATCH IN SPTCustomPlugin FAILED. SUBSEQUENT PATCHES HAVE NOT LOADED.

[Error :SPT.Custom] SPTCustomPlugin: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for ‘SPT.Custom.Patches.CustomAiPatch’”

I justa installed 3.11 and the only mods are ‘minimalist launcher’ and ‘load order’. If I launch the game with SPT’s server and launcher it works perfectly. The minimalist version is 2.4

Thanks

Could you try using the QuickLauncher? Minimalist uses the same code, or should at least.

ok nvm!

same problem here , QuickLauncher too

Jenny Have you run the game normally once? SPTCustomPlugin is usually the victim of having not run the game to initialize the necessary patches.

What needs to be done?

After installing, running the SPT server and then launching into the game with the SPT launcher. That makes sure critical patches are run on the first time.

Hey, was wondering if your launcher is compatible with Fika. Server is starting but the launcher doesnt seems to start the game.

0 Likes

No, I have no intention of adding explicit compatibility for it.

That said, these two lines are the parameters that are used when starting SPT, and the IP here is hardcoded. I could add an option for changing these. I can’t guarantee that it would help, but I do know that Fika does networking stuff.

After some testing and reseting servers IP to default value, the launcher was able to start the game. Anyway you answered my question thanks. That said, if you try to implement a “compatibility fix” for fika, even if it doesnt work i can guarantee that the effort is appreciated

0 Likes

Your solution was likely because the default value is what I use in my launcher’s code, and it’s the default value used by SPT as it’s your own computer’s way to refer to itself.

I will look into a way to adjust the IP itself, because this problem would most likely also occur if you’re just using another PC to host the server, regardless of what mods you use. I appreciate the comment.

Even though it is installed in the correct folder, the Mod Installer hotkey does not find mod installer. It prompts me to download again. Besides that - I am loving this. Thank you for your efforts. Sorry - I am on 3.9.3 and have 3 mods installed currently: SVM, Tyfon-UIfixes, and Redlaser42-Increase Climb Height.

Are you sure? I am using the latest on both, and it works perfectly fine.

Have you made sure that the filename of the installer is “SPT Mods Installer.exe”? It should come that way downloaded.

This was driving me nuts. I checked - Yes, mine was labeled “SPT Mods Installer”. So short story is I tried renaming it SPT Mod Installer.exe and it works. The “s” was my problem. All working perfectly now. Thanks for the quick response.

Hi Devraccoon. I have one small issue and am not sure what’s causing it. This only happens when I use Minimalist launcher (see image below). When I run the server manually it doesn’t happen. The game gets stuck on the loading screen. It never reaches the main screen. Thank you.

Hi, so I see that the first mod mentioned in your log is Gilded Key Storage. I went to install it in my own 3.9.2 install and ran a couple of times with the latest version of this launcher. I had no issues launching the game. The error in question appears to be connected to three mods, as you can see by reading the log. GameController.gameStart. It is referenced in GildedKeyStorage, but seems to have no effect on my install.

OMG! I can’t believe it. I figured out why it was doing this and it’s so stupid. I forgot I created a second profile under this install and the program didn’t know which one to start. I had not picked one of the profiles when I ran it. I’m so sorry for the confusion.

No idea. I cannot replicate your issue… it could be that order.json doesn’t exist/doesn’t have data.

Hello

I’m getting an error that says “ a patch in SPTCustomPlugin FAILDED. “ when the game launches.

What should I do to fix this issue?

0 Likes

This is not an issue that affects my launcher, it’s a mod issue.

Reina_C

is there a solution for the mod ?

0 Likes

Depends on the mod. Make sure that all of your mods are updated and installed properly.

Last time I had that issue, I believe it was a mod with a dependency that wasn’t installed.

At the moment right now I just trying launch the game and I have not installed any mods, so I do not know what to do at this point.

Love this, Devraccoon! Been such a fan of your launchers and other mods for so long!

Would it be possible to add an option to start Tarkov without launching the server, for if I’m running the server off another PC?

Raccoon, you know im a big fan of this launcher, just a few questions tho.

Can you implement an Option the Serverlogs are displayed coloured like in the AKI Server?

Is there any possibility to be able to keep the Server runing when closing Tarkov? I restart the game every now and then, cuz ppl recommended to for ram cleaning purposes.

And if the keeping the sever running is possible could you implent then a option to just start the game when the server is still running?

I have no idea about coding and implementing stuff like that, so i dont know how difficult it would be, so even if its possible but you dont want to do it cuz its to time consuming it would be fine.

Just a few thoughts i had bout QOL.

  1. I can look into server log coloring, but given the components I use for logging, it may end up being too performance costly. No promises.
  2. Ram Cleaner Fix.
  3. Sure, I can look into keeping the server running. The problem with it that I have run into is that it often leads to background processes getting confused. (Skill issue for me as a developer, I am aware).

I’ll look into these things
