Update SPT WITHOUT Losing Progression!│SPT Update Guide

This is the SPT mod guide.
Play Tarkov with new free features!
I know not everyone is able to play 12 hours a day or have $250 to spend in one game!
I just hope everyone is able to play the games in their own tempo.

i thought this was gonna be one of those videos where it doesnt work and i go "oh well" but it actually worked amazingly saving me a lot of time. cant thank you enough!

[@SimpleSlime]

Your welcome!!! It means you followed all the steps correctly!

[@SirWashed]

w vid. clean and clear, no room for confusion. i hope you do the co-op mod also. that one hurt my brain setting up

[@SimpleSlime]

I will do the co-op next 💯

GG bro! We have quickly gone from Tarky .14.0 to .14.8 i think, and from SPT 3.8.0 to 3.8.6 now... sheesh! So There are a very few interesting changes to base game. But more importantly, to use fresh new mods for higher than 3.8.0 Ima have to update after all. You've shown us how. Thank you bro. Probably a good idea to get some kind of external backup hard drive to copy & backup the entire Tarkov and SPT folders onto, so we have those in case BSG does something extreme. we can keep trying to escape SPTarkov despite that.

[@SimpleSlime]

I really didn't think there will be super fast and consistant update like this too! I guess SPT is gaining rapid player base!

[@michealnelsonauthor]

@@SimpleSlime yeah I hope they realized they have an opportunity, with Nikita stepping on his dink, to capture a whole massive wave of people escaping Tarkov servers and coming to SPT. Seems to be what’s happening. Gg to SPT devs for working so hard rn…

Once I get the new version installed can I just delete the old SPT folder. How about a guide to properly remove a MOD.

[@SimpleSlime]

Thats a good idea, but removing a mod, you just have to delete the mod folder you want to remove. Check under user\mods folder or BepInEx\plugins folder

[@seblo2233]

I tried to update 3.8.3 to 3.9.0, and i get a error message when launching the game, it says critical error recevivng profile data.

[@seblo2233]

And SPT says my profile is outdated

[@SimpleSlime]

@@seblo2233 tbh, I haven't tried the 3.9.0 but it seems like some people are saying it works and some people are saying it doesn't.

[@koltheblack2468]

I get same error, tell me that is a profile made it with an old spt, and i do this thing and is worked Search for all fields like this: "Role": "sptBEAR", or "Role": "sptUSEC" Change them to: "Role": "pmcBEAR", or "Role": "pmcUSEC"

[@SimpleSlime]

@@koltheblack2468 Some of the profiles in the old SPT aren't going to match the new profiles completely. If you do not plan on rewriting your profile's error one by one, you might just have to re-create your profile 😥

[@koltheblack2468]

[@dubstackz]

Be careful just copying over the Bepinx and User folders. I just dragged and dropped like the video shows and ended up with a spt-core.dll error. Turns out you can't just copy over all the files in those two folders or it will mess up the install. I ended up having to delete the SPT folder that contained that file that popped up in the launch error then I could just copy over and it worked fine going from 3.9.4 to 3.9.8.

[@Max14062]

Thanks for this tutorial. I have to put the mods again or are they kept from the latest version?

[@SimpleSlime]

You "should" still update the mods too because they should also have their new versions. But you don't have to. The 3.8 mods will run just fine with the SPT 3.8.1

[@liqshot7671]

btw i love your spt videos im really new to this you made it clear on how to do it fyi i suscribed to your channel keep up the hard work

[@SimpleSlime]

I really apperciate that! It really means a lot to me 👊👊👊

[@marccenteno6114]

can i delete official tarkov after installing spt i don't plan on playin in official server and it takes a lot of space in my ssd

[@SimpleSlime]

Unfortunately, you need to keep the official tarkov installed!

[@yarmy2936]

I'm trying follow this guide when updating to 3.8.3 but when i run the installer in my new folder it say no patcher available for this version what does that mean?

You might have to wait couple days for the new one to come out. Does it work now?

Legend bro cheers.

[@el_samu116]

Amazing video, by the way, what happens if the EFT base game is updated? Can I update it without having problems with the SPT or should I wait for an SPT update to be able to continue playing with the latest version of the EFT Base game?

[@SimpleSlime]

Unfortunately, I believe you need to wait for the SPT update to be able to continue playing. I could be wrong... 🤔

[@koltheblack2468]

@el_samu116 you don't need to wait update for spt, i tried and is work

[@rusty1253]

hello, so, its a very weird request, but, im trying to update from spt aki 3.3.0 (yes ik its very old) with the eft version 0.12, its because me and my friend found a funny exploit inside that and we are trying to replicate it. but, when i tried to update from spt 3.3.0 to 3.8.0, it doesnt work, it says: couldnt find where you isntalled eft. why does this happen ? can you help me out ?

[@SimpleSlime]

Sorry I was out for some time, you might need to locate your actual eft file.

[@TaigaNine]

am i free to delete the old version when i setup the new one and run everything?

[@SimpleSlime]

Yes, as long as you have the original tarkov installed.

[@jeremygaylord6205]

I tried to update 3.8.3 to 3.9.0 and It would not allow me to. Love your videos really tired of playing ttv sweats online. Thank you

[@SimpleSlime]

You might just have to delete your SPT 3.8.3 file and redownload the 3.9.0. Just remember to save your profile so you can keep your progression!

[@jeremygaylord6205]

@SimpleSlime thank you for the try. Before I left for work today I did delete it and started installing. I hope that it works.

[@SimpleSlime]

@@jeremygaylord6205 I hope it works too!!

How come when I get out of a scav raid it say out of memory it happens all the time now but when I first installed spt it never had any issues?

[@SimpleSlime]

I never heard of that issue or seen anyone who ran into such problem. What mods are you using?

[@Darkace1682]

@@SimpleSlime I use the blacklist and something else can’t remember the name but it let me edit loot chances Boss spawns and traders

[@SimpleSlime]

@@Darkace1682 It could be a mod messing with it or the settings for a mod. If you are still having the problem, you might have to ask people on SPT discord for their professional help. 😥

[@samlanthier2402]

Is there an easy way to update mods or do I need to download every mods again when they get updated ? (Sorry for my spelling english isnt my first language)

[@SimpleSlime]

It's safer to download every mods when they have an update. They might work, but if it doesn't work, you might have to go through and troubleshoot one by one.

[@FotisNorscan]

Thank you!

[@SimpleSlime]

Your welcome!!

[@warlee6969]

Does it actually work like that? I thought that newer versions of SPT are incopamtible with older versions of profiles

[@SimpleSlime]

I believe it's up to certain point. For example, you cannot move your SPT 1.0.0 profile to SPT 3.9.0. There is a limit on moving your profile but you don't have to reset every update!

[@fpsph4446]

Can you do this on spt aki 2.0.0 fitgurl version?

[@SimpleSlime]

I didn't even realize they came up with that! Thanks for letting me know, I will consider it.

[@SVairguns]

Is this process the same as that of SIT manager? It's just that I have the SIT manager and I can't play coop with my friend. We don't know how to enter the same server. I would greatly appreciate your help

[@SimpleSlime]

I can help you but I am not familiar with SIT manager 😥

[@SVairguns]

@@SimpleSlime From what I see, you can play through different programs, right?

[@SimpleSlime]

@@SVairguns Are you talking about SPT or co-op mod?

@@SimpleSlime We have installed SIT manager, the AKI server, opened the ports... We haven't installed any mods yet.

Yes! Your "profile" is pretty much the save file.

It tells me my profile Is using a different version of Aki and may have problems and when I go to load up the profile it just does not load into the game any clue how to fix that.
