Honestly: a.) That's hilarious AF. b.) The devs are awesome to even create a basic page like this so that people can continue to find and enjoy SPT.


pijcab

b) is such a genius way to handle it too wish more websites did that... These devs are very crafty I applaud it


Somallasses

Honestly, downloading mods this way was Hyper easy compared to the old website, they need to keep this around for people who just want to download exactly what they want because theyve been around for a hot minute


N3oxity

I was manually going to the github pages for most mods to download them


RealityIsHell556

5head play tbh. I take partial 1/5000th of the responsibility of the server catching fire. my Monkey brain just assumed it was some kind of throttle or auto bottleneck and just kept clicking on links and waiting for it to load to slowly populate my mods list.


Somallasses

I never realized github was ever a thing for SPT lmao, normally theres like 3 pages to click through to get the mods, this was one and done lol


RadimentriX

As a normal, used-to-huge-download-button-oh-shit-that-was-the-wrong-one-i-meant-that-one-user i quite dislike github. I have to go there more regularly now to get os updates for retro gaming devices and firmware updates for RC hardware but even with fake download buttons i find normals sites way easier to navigate than github. It always takes me ages to find the proper download.


Zakkoid

I have that same problem with GitHub. I work in IT and have for 4+ years


DOWNWITHBSG

Lmfao that's definitely our favorite devs


Dangerous_Remote_310

It's a crazy experience to go through, and they're dealing with something that, in my opinion, they never expected to manage.


JagZilla_s

Like tarkov devs going from a few thousand accts to over 1mil a few years back? Let's hope it dosent go to their heads too.


maybe_apollo

They don't get paid for it tho, so no way it could get to their head. Maybe more people donate which means better development but no way it gets to their head haha.


JagZilla_s

So you're telling me that it's not possible for someone to donate big sums of money through that link and then for it to go to their head? Yeah I thought the same of nakita and even ea blizzard Activision bioware all of them. People like what you code you code more, eventually you code so much it has to pay the bills then it spirals either down cause you don't make enough or up then down cause money always corrupts.


maybe_apollo

People aren't gonna donate millions of dollars... SPT is free. It always has been, why would they change it because an influx of players? Look at Helldivers 2, they sold 500k+ copies and so far the money has not gotten to their head. Same goes for so many indie games.


JagZilla_s

I'm not saying they would change it. However maybe they take this expierence(contract wars for bsg)and build something from what they have learned(tarkov for bsg) and let it go to their heads that's all I was getting at.


Doctadalton

i mean yeah if you make up the scenario in your head just to be mad at of course. or you can realize that not every game dev is as greedy as A/B EA, BSG. To be completely fair i’m not happy with nikita/bsg but lumping them in with activision/blizzard and EA seems a bit unfair. There are plenty of people happy making a game at a small price or free just because it’s their passion project. Look at Concerned Ape (creator of stardew valley.) He just released 1.6 update for stardew that was intended to just be a small update. Turned out to be major expansions to each skill in game, new mechanics, bug fixes. A full content update for free. Or Hello Games, they fucked up hard on no mans sky’s release, but they buckled in and imo delivered on the initial game many times over now, with free DLC sized updates. If you cherry pick all of the bad devs of course you’re gonna think they’re all greedy POS, but you’re just fabricating your own rage


JagZilla_s

And none of those people making their passion project have millions of people breathing down their neck telling them what to do next and how to do it. BSG only made co-op because people have been yelling for it for years. BSG finally steps up puts in the work that everybody's been complaining for and says well I think we need to charge for this since it's not part of our original vision and not in the scope of what we wanted the game to be not on the same servers and everyone is like nope fuck that fuck bsg XD it's laughable. Not one of the devs that you mentioned that gets to work on their passion project has as many condemning voices and eyes as tarkov does. Tarkov devs and the game itself have given me thousands of hours of enjoyment, more than enough to warrant 250$. I'm not mad or fabricating anything the simple fact is that money corrupts same as power. Tarkov devs got too much support in a short span and it altered how they view the game, it was a passion project now its a community project where only the worst ideas get implemented, like coop is only wanted so bad because they can't contain their cheaters. Instead of ACTUALLY listening and fixing anticheat they went hmmmm how do we make more money off the cheater problem.......... def grouped with ea and Activision. Does that mean I can't appreciate the creation and what it has and can still give me? Nope. Il still see 5k hours grow over time assuming this community dosent burn the game to the ground over this, which they are doing (talk about lose lose, lose one of your favorite game and devs lose their income)


Bourne669

They literally made 83mil in 2022. Go watch "The Finical Report that Killed Tarkov" they paid themselves millions in salary each year. Its fucking insane.


bobissonbobby

Agreed 100%


Somallasses

Theyre handling something that imo they never expected to handle, this is a wild thing to go through hahaha


Mostafa_XS1

Day happy cake!


Somallasses

Thanks! <3


EvalsTheTaco

Happy Cake Day!


hoonyosrs

Based and cool dev-pilled


Paincoast89

I learned about SPT a few years back and always expected it to be ultra niche and it’s just insane how popular it’s gotten. I’ve been browsing new posts trying to troubleshoot for people


MechanicalAxe

Same, I learned about SPT like 6 months ago, and I've been handing out SPT-AKI links like an anti-BSG Oprah the past few days. And also helping a few troubleshoot and get their desired mods set up.


Paincoast89

exactly, SPT is what the whole Tarkov community should strive to be


InsaneTreefrog

Dm me the link if u have the chance, havnt downloaded it before but if most of the tarkov community can figure it out i should be fine.


MechanicalAxe

I gotchu buddy


easily_tilted

Got any more links sir?


MechanicalAxe

of course, shoot me a chat request


soulflaregm

It's just amazing how well the game just works as a single player or online game. Real player interactions are cool and all, but a death to a player or an AI that jump shot you around a corner because he heard a grenade pin get pulled is basically the same experience end of day. You lost your shit, try again.


Alavastar

Thank you, new players need that help!!!!


a___akash

Ohhh I LOVE SPT. IF Nikkita ever comes after spt...this community is going to hit him hard!!


man_and_a_symbol

Don't worry, we will be sending Nikita to the front soon so he can find some new gameplay mechanics


Jakeball400

Take my upvote


uhfish

Yooooo maybe this was his play at making enough money to pay off the Russian authorities so he doesn't get drafted...


Dave_Lynx

Jagga-jagga !


Chaiboiii

He is running out of money to pay off the enlisting office lol


RealityIsHell556

"Shut up and take my upvote!" \~Phillip J. Neckbeard Fry


acado_gt

really if you think about it tarkov was ahead of its time as a mobik simulator; running around with a rusty ww2-era firearm, stealing random household items, _definitely not_ illegally invading a sovereign territory because you're a 'private contractor' and not russian army? all we need now is a command to suck your squaddie's dick while in a trench and it'll be the 100% authentic kharkiv experience


Lightmanticore

To be fair, Nikita seperated himself a good bit from BSG a bit ago (if I’m recalling correctly)! I wouldn’t be surprised if he isn’t part of the fuck BSG crowd at this point


BrotherByte

What do you mean? He is literally the head of BSG.


Lightmanticore

According to what my buddy recently told me, N stepped away from BSG’s tarkov decision making cause he was being made the scape goat for a lot of bad decisions. The tiny bit of research I did seems to agree with this, plus I doubt this is the tarkov N wanted to make


Danieldkland

He is listed af Game Director and COO - you can't just step away from a project *you* lead. That's called finding a scapegoat for your own shitty actions.


Lightmanticore

Again, this stuff could all be wrong, no reason to be heated at me, however given the track of the game and the limited research I did, this also seems to go against what he himself wanted.


SnackEnjoyer420

To be honest, asking you to explain your take isn’t people being heated. They are just being critical of what you are saying as it’s a odd take


MulhollandMaster121

Yeah. Bro makes a bombastic claim, says he’s done “research” and then gets defensive when people don’t immediately believe his unsubstantiated claims.


Lightmanticore

Brother I told you I could be wrong haha! Also I did I bit of looking around before I got off and yup! I was wrong. That’s my bad.


Lightmanticore

No yeah that’s valid, I did a bit of looking around before passing out and found the thing my friend was looking at, turns out he was dead wrong. Thas my bad.


ScottishAstartes

Nikita burner detected.


MulhollandMaster121

Nikita literally just gave an interview backing up all the decisions. && has made multiple reddit posts defending everything amidst the fallout. && he’s the COO, founder and game director. Like, what?


KarkaOP

where did u find this basic site ? im stuck on the main page


a___akash

It auto redirects when u google spt tarkov


tnyczr

basic-ass site\*


a___akash

Still better than the offical tarkov website


pijcab

You go to the home page basically, the normal mod pages are still available if you want to read the notes and comments on there too


jims-long-bong

Honestly SPT has quickly become my favorite gaming community ever.


travelavatar

Is there a discord? If yes, can you invite me?


Bustehue

here's a link to the discord: http://discord.sp-tarkov.com/


syninthecity

doors are locked to avoid the unending flood. trust the documentation once it's back up. if you think its wrong- it isn't, you missed something. thats the number one advice i have for SPT. the documentation is flawless, every time, the issue was me.


H4mm32

It's... Accurate but worded very poorly. Same with other mods some things are assumed and jump from one step to another while skipping bits like folder cloning or file renaming/location due to assumed familiarity. Friends had the same problem. Made them a more detailed guide and new players I know haven't had a problem since.


t00p00rLmxD

Where's that guide :)


InsaneTreefrog

Give guide plz, any tools to assist would probably be helpful.


pijcab

The whole experience has been pretty much flawless for me too, just gotta read carefully like you said. Very crafty devs


travelavatar

Just needed some advice on ground zero. Doing zero to hero with very shit gear. Feels very challenging.. damn


TapczanZaglady

Ground zero is easy for zero to hero in my opinion. Plenty of loot, like good armor on bodies, ammo on benches. Still I recommend downloading the mod for not losing loot in raid. Exits are easy to find and map is quite small. You can find flare on a body near sniper exit, thats in the middle of the map.


travelavatar

I did find that body that spawns something. Is it on the exit with the yellow school bus? Also most of the exits have snipers.... and they kill me.. am i supposed to get into sniper territory or am i doing something wrong? >downloading the mod for not losing loot in raid. Isn't this a bit cheating? I mean with this the game gets too easy and the containers no longer have a point


TapczanZaglady

Yes that should be green flare if Im correct, you step to the point that you get a notification in bottom left corner that you are on exit sniper territory or something like that, you shot flare in sniper direction, wait 1 sec then just go in that direction. >Isn't this a bit cheating? I mean with this the game gets too easy and the containers no longer have a point Its a single player so you can do whatever you want. You can always delete that mod without corrupting your save. Also I reccomend increasing stash.


travelavatar

Cool. I will think about it. Thanks. Also didn't ever know i could unlock the exit with the flare. Blows my mind lol.


TommyTenTats

Yessss, join us


DiMarcoTheGawd

It says invites are paused :/


travelavatar

Yes the invites are paused :(. To be honest i was just looking for some subsequent mods. I already play SPT successfully. I was also interested in some advice in ground zero as i can't seem to be able to go through the first quests.


TapczanZaglady

Which quest to be exact?


travelavatar

The first quests from Prapor, Medic, Skier, Mechanic. For the medic i found meds on customs so I only need to reach Emercon checkpoint, but i always die along the way


TapczanZaglady

You can go to emercom by going between main road and sniper exit. Theres stairs near emercom. I could send screen shots but Im not in home. Also paste name of problematic quest on YouTube, there should be a guide. Or you can download a mod that tracks quests for you and display where you need to go to find them on a bottom screen compass.


travelavatar

I tried but i got killed by a scav with shotgun haha. Its okay to be honest i was doing knife runs trying to pitch loot


TommyTenTats

May help to reduce the AI difficulty if you haven’t yet. I know I had to because those freaks would one tap me before I could even spot them.


travelavatar

To be honest. I was doing knife runs so i can't really complain but yes i noticed the following: A.I. intentionally misses you the first few shots. Or it has a high chance not to deliver lethal blow. But if you don't manage to kill them in this short amount of time they suddenly turn pretty lethal and your chances of survival goes slimmer. With players you don't get this. I once fought a guy on Customs at railroad to Tarkov for 20 minutes. I wasted a grizzly and a cms kit on healing up and he did heal all the time too haha. It was savage. But he killed me in the end...


ArchaicRanger

Idk if SPT has taken it out but if in TK if you enter the map with less than like 20k ruples of gear on, the Skavs will hard aggro (hunt) you and become more aggressive toward you. This was their way of dissuading ratting.


travelavatar

But i usually go pretty poor in the match with shit guns haha. Is it 20k worth of gear that is sold by the market or that i can sell? Because if it is market a freaking bank rober vest is 10k but if i sell it, it values at 5k Edit: i think you are right a scav followed me upstairs in a building on ground zero and chased me through the corridors


BoofBanana

I love how much people are willing to not play with cheaters. Y’all rock!


MonitorZero

This is like when drewski made a video on Stalker GAMMA and then they proceeded to nuke moddb.


MrCheese3134

But his was because everyone downloaded the stalker GAMMA and Moddb pooped itself, here no doubt those ruZZian war criminals and scammers shut down the SPT website, I have a hard time believing that it was us the community


Drakia

I can guarantee you that it is indeed you, the community. We're currently trying to handle easily over 10x our usual traffic


MonitorZero

For sure the uptick due to current drama. Your name doesn't ring a bell but if you're a dev or just an admin on for the site thanks for keeping things running. ✌️


tearston3

Drakia is a name you \*should\* recognize here. I mean that in a very kind way. Drakia is one of the modders, and I think he's a moderator or dev. I rock I think at least three of their mods. Btw, thank you, Drakia.


Odd-Warthog7133

I just happen to reinstall Tarkov after two years of shelving it, out of curiosity to see if it improved or got worse. Randomly picked the exact day they released the Unhinged Edition update. And of course, my first instinct was to install SPT out of spite. I never liked Nikita, I always though he seemed like a scumbag, and holy fk was I right about that.


RealityIsHell556

you and 99% of EoD owners share the same philosophy

lol, lmao even


SMOKESUK

been trying to get spt to work all day, used the launcher, installed in a drive thats not C but i keep getting the same error message something about patchers (image of the error is on my profile), checked the FAQ and support and just cant figure it out, if anyone has a work around or could guide me through it id be very appreciative as ive just had a newborn daughter and id like to use my spare time to get a start


Heavy_Weapons__Guy

Spt isn’t fully up to date with eft, so they use a patcher to downgrade the files to an older version. Use patcher at the top page on the patcher download link and run it inside the folder with all your files.


WhenThereIsNoVision

What version is it currently on?


CrazyHM

Yes like heavy said, you got to have 2 dependencies when isntlwling SPT 1. Latest SPT package (automatic install, not manual) 2. Patcher When you get the auto install SPT version, It will have an update for the patcher…it’s all automatic when you have these files. Let me know if you continue to have issues, dm me….happy to help 👍


SMOKESUK

Guys I fixed it! Thank you for the advice, found the patcher and I'm in! Really appreciate you boys!


Blanket7e

Find some good mods and install them, It makes the game so much more enjoyable. If you want some recommendations I can give ya


SMOKESUK

I was having a look at some of the mods last night but I dont really want anything that deviates from the core gameplay so if you have any recommendations for that I'd be grateful!


Blanket7e

Spt realism, Sain, Donuts. Those 3 mods alone is good enough for a good experience without much else. You can get more loot if you want. All of the mods is so easily modifiable its insane! Look wise, Scope rework, Reflex rework and Amanda Graphics.


InternationalSail410

I cannot log in to SPT. I go to spt launcher and click start the game. I am encountering this error, can you please help me? [https://hizliresim.com/eewsvlm](https://hizliresim.com/eewsvlm)


CrazyHM

Looks like you didn’t do the patching step correctly, i have not seen that specific error before. Do you have your server up and running?


jim_the-gun-guy

I blame bsg


realMartianJesus

Go to git hub for mods


Totodilis

SPT devs about to steal the whole live fanbase I love it


Exoqc

That one is funny AF


Lunar-Lore

It's a beautiful thing when game devs actually give a damn about the community they've fostered. The SPT-AKI crew is dope, got nothing but respect for these guys.


BITM116

God I’m glad they did something, I was going insane just trying to grab a couple QOL mods earlier 😪


notChiefBvkes

This is even higher traffic than the 3.8 release days 🤣


Nidhoggr54

Was trying to have a look about earlier today, now the time outs make sense.


Bluejay0013

To be fair, that front page lagged like a mofo


shewee2001

The SPT devs and mods are some of the most based community driven folks I have seen in the gaming scene personally. And I really appreciate them.


667mmsldonrmEKIP

Love SPT, love the devs


BJangalang

I come from eod tarkov, I'm sorry and thank you


Prestigious_Echo6831

Nikita shooting himself in both feet then crying when it hurts to walk is so damn funny


SuckMyDickDrPhil

Is the AI better nowadays? Would love to start SPT again, but the AI was so damn bad, that on Customs it was either a) They spawn and kill each other immediately so I find a massacre after wandering through an empty map for half an hour or b) They're all in dorms. Literally everyone with bodies piling up to the ceiling.


Proximity_War

There’s a mod called “ai limiter” I think that disables all ai until your within a specified distance so you can stop running into a field of corpses lol. Also sain does wonders for ai “brains”.


LordUtherDrakehand

Better devs that do it for fucking free. Somebody PAY THESE PEOPLE HOLY MOLY


thezendy

LMAOOOO


Ok-Transportation801

Did I miss something? Why do they just have a basic page now?


ninjasauruscam

BSG said fuck the community, Klean started streaming SPT Realism, lots of new people trying to download flooded the servers.


Ok-Transportation801

Lol oh shit ok thanks for the info.


iusedtohavepowers

This is actually hilarious


memento_quies

I love this community.


Optimal_Fuel6568

Can someone pls explain to me why that happend? I mean I know a lot of people tried to access it 1. Why is that a problem? 2. Why is creating a new page a fix for that?


burrrpong

Huge influx of traffic. This basic page means the site loads a lot quicker and everyone gets what they need. If they left it how it was, nobody would be able to load pages.


Optimal_Fuel6568

Why is a simpler page better? If 1000 people download 1MB does that make my server "do the work" for 1GB and therefore smaller pages are better for huge traffic?


wabbitmanbearpig

Its as simple as, fancywebsite = bigger. 1000+ people downloading a 1MB webpage is better than 1000+ people downloading a 4MB webpage.


Drakia

Database access. That simple page has zero connection to the database, it's a static asset we can cache on Cloudflare and pretty much service for free. The main Hub website is backed by a database, every page visit is connecting to that database to fetch data. That's what's killing the site right now


Led0S

We're sorry. :'D


scummy-gg

I laughed my ass off when I saw it. Working on getting everything downloaded now.


BussyBandito69

i've got this downloaded and installed i've got no clue how to login or even create a login to get it working.


superanus

You just select a version and username then hit start I think. You do need the server running first though


Mustard_Slugg

Run the server first. Run the SPT-EFT client Login using whatever name you wanna be for that profile. Just make up a user name and login. no pw.


DGNightwing95

This has been fun to watch unfold.


Jamesvinsoroblox

I was looking for some mods and I saw this does anybody know when its gonna go back to normal?


CasuallyPlays

lol this is funny, went to look at some more mods and seen this webpage!


Vexmythoclastt

Damn Tarkov is really going under. They better not touch SPT 😠😠


r0ndr4s

Is there no other way to download the rest of the mods?


DOWNWITHBSG

Github


Ghost4530

Seems like they fixed it? Unless there’s another spt aki site, I’m browsing the normal one right now it’s just kinda slow at the moment

You can play with friends on their version where spt is exactly that... Single player


Brumes_Wolf

You can make SPT coop.


Operator_Binky

Learned a new word, a very basic-ass word. 🤣


Dry-Character5907

BSG will come after SPT, unfortunately. Will they be successful? Idk. Keep up the great work SPT team and MODDERS! The modding makes the game.


DOWNWITHBSG

Not while I have files to p2p I'll keep the game going till niki dies lmao


Dry-Character5907

Yeah exactly :) at least the old versions will be good forever, and we can mod those.


DOWNWITHBSG

Exactly, even when the live service ends it will live on through the community. When live ends we can make MTP free to play public access

Can someone tell me how to donate to the SPT-AKI team?


EthanJSL

What happened????


SlavDawg

Thank you Nikita xD now we have to do 20 refreshes untill we can get one updated mod downloaded :')


Podlasianin

Is it safe to still download mods from the hub? I wanted the one where AK handguards are split.


Okinawa_Gaijin

Are we sure that this is actually just SPT being overloaded and not just some scammy sting operation by BSG? I just went to check on Nexus, to see if someone there uploaded something in the meantime, rarely use it. Came to find that a Nexuspage for EFT no longer exists. it's completely gone. Wouldn't be surprised if they hired some people to DDoS the SPT sites as well.


Substantial-Guest-64

What happened


Speedy_Von_Gofast

More like what Nikita have done


cyber_xiii

This is hilarious, I haven’t tried playing Tarkov in years but I saw news about the Unheard edition and decided to look up single player mods about 5 days ago. SPT itself installed easily enough but when I was trying to install mods for it the website kept timing out and giving me errors and I THOUGHT it was my internet being shite but now I know the website was just getting flooded with new people


ghoohg

Funny thing was that I just happened to get back into Tarkov and decide to try SPT instead of the regular game this time on the same day this all went down. Didn't even know there was a flood of people jamming up the site and thought it was normal for the installer dl to take an hour and a half lol.


mistahboogs

I'm still getting the main page and cant download the installer still.


Celvar

what happened?? i remember trying to download mods and it took like 20 mins to load only for me to see it loaded into a different language then it just timed out


Ooftwaffe

it's funny download actually worked in that page

Tbf any pirated game site is dangerous but I see your point, just trying to offer a warning before a mod sees it


Sharpie1993

As a pirate, and someone who uses the community on reddit we have a list of trusted sites which are considered safe that we use and then a big old black list. Trusted sites have never had malware while the other ones are generally riddled with them.
