Escape from Tarkov

FIKA Server

FIKA is a locally hosted multiplayer serve for Escape from Tarkov.

Tip

See FIKA Server to setup a dedicated server. This assumes a server is already configured.

Windows

Install EFT and disable automatic updates. Note the installed version.

EFT Launcher ➔ Profile ➔ Settings ➔ Updates: ✘

Updates are disabled to ensure mod always works.

Install mod dependencies:

Automatic Installation

This is a user supported tool which automatically applies all patches required. Preferred.

  1. Download the installer.

  2. Create an empty folder for SPT to be installed to and extract installer to this location. Prefer same drive and root folder as EFT.

    Suggest: c:\Battlestate Games\SPT

  3. Run installer.

Manual Installation

Tip

Only do this if you know what you are doing. This requires knowing what version of EFT you are running, then manually downgrading to the latest SPT-AKI supported version and applying the SPT-AKI patches.

  1. Copy c:\Battlestate Games\EFT to c:\Battlestate Games\SPT.
  2. Download the downgrade patcher for the specific version you have installed. This will downgrade the SPT install to the currently supported SPT version.
  3. Extract patcher files to c:\Battlestate Games\SPT.
  4. Run patcher and ignore virus warnings (triggered as these are re-writing signed binaries).
  5. Download the SPT installer and extract to c:\Battlestate Games\SPT.
  6. Run installer (ignore virus warnings - these rewrite signed binaries).

Launching Game

Must be launched in the following order to run properly.

  1. Launch the server (Server.exe if manually patched): c:\Battlestate Games\SPT\Aki.Server.exe
  2. Launch the client (Launcher.exe if manually patched): c:\Battlestate Games\SPT\Aki.Client.exe
  3. Create account with entitlements:
    • Launcher ➔ Make a new account
    • Select whatever entitlements you wish (starting items).
    • Launcher ➔ Start game
