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. Double checked for sanity, but for sure not using the live directory. The unofficial subreddit for the video game Escape From Tarkov developed by BattleState Games Members Online. The launcher must be run from 'C:/Battlestate Games/BsgLauncher/'.

Your text editor might need admin privileges. Run launcher, register, then get "SPT shouldn't be installed in live game directory" error. From the profile page, click the button to Install the Battlestate Games Launcher. Instead of relying on chance, you can open up C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts. Unzipped AKI-1.6.0 into AKI folder, "yes to all" when replace conflict pops In AKI folder, unzipped patcher to downgrade to 12.3 If you go into the BSG folder, go to the folder named uninst000 with shturman on the front and uninstall everything with that, redownload it and reinstall the game, it worked for me.

What you want to do is uninstall the launcher via C:Battlestate GamesBsgLauncherunins000.exe Then reinstall the launcher via the EFT website if it isnt saved locally. Opened live game folder, copied and pasted one copy into each of the above created Similar to how a game installed in your Steam library one day appears uninstalled. Alright, I'm a linear thinker, so I'm gonna bullet point how I did this and where I ended up.
