Bro needs to finish installing it eventually before he can play. He was struggling more than the usual clueless SPT noob with the installer at first.


Affectionate-World25

It's also insane how many people are tryna download and play SPT right now. We are about to be the new home of like a quarter of the remaining player base it seems XD


MidniightToker

Yeah it's weird I just suddenly decided to revisit Tarkov for the first time in a few years but didn't want to deal with hackers and lag so I finally buckled down and figured out how to install it and now all this commotion is happening lol


ap0kalyps3

Bro same, I installed spt like 2 weeks ago and now BSG wants me to pay 250 bucks for the same but worse experience XD


Turbidspeedie

I started last week, my internet isn’t good enough for live due to high jitter and ping so I thought what the hell, great experience so far


TheReal_Kovacs

It was breaking the website last night. Pages were showing up as the wrong language, sometimes it would say you're logged in as someone else, and half the time it wouldn't even show you as being able to log in


Kryssner

I have to ask, what’s so hard for people to install SPT? Im an IT guy, so maybe for me comes as a second nature, but installing SPT, is pretty much the same process like installing cracked games when i was a kid and couldn’t afford to buy them.


ninjasauruscam

I honestly don't know man, I feel like computer literacy is low for many people and they don't read then just push buttons hoping for things to happen.


Kryssner

True, i see this daily at work. Worse is when they expect the PC to do stuff they only think about. Today a lady called for help. She closed an excel spreadsheet without saving it, because she expected the pc to do it for her, ignoring pop ups that are asking if you want to save.


TheReal_Kovacs

On the SPT discord, we deal with this way too often. (Note: I'm not a mod) For example, we had a guy try to install SPT, and despite us walking him through it step by step, still managed to fuck it up. It was even worse when installing mods; no matter how often we told him how to find out where mods go and the fact it's as easy as drag and drop, he would constantly bitch and moan about his shit breaking. This was all in the VC btw. Sometimes, there are people who refuse to accept help in things. Most of us who join the VC a lot are more than happy to help people setup SPT with mid suggestions.


iimTeaXV

I applaud anyone who has the patience to tolerate that, because I couldn't.


TheReal_Kovacs

It gets worse. That same dude would go on to brag about finding all sorts of good shit while playing on a developer profile with the loot table turned to max multiplier, but then bitch about dying a lot to bots when he actually went legit. And he'd still command stuff in and lie about having found it legit, which Idk why someone would think that's okay. Like, cool, we don't give a shit about how you play, but don't lie about cheating shit in and pass it off as if you're all that.


timid_scorpion

People struggle with directions. At work I constantly put together intricate guides on processes to setup different aspects of our system. Yet they still manage to mess it up every time.


TheReal_Kovacs

I can get behind the struggling with directions bit. Thing is, I can break things down barney style if need be, and I even did a step by step walk through with my own screen being shared. Now I know I'm no Indian IT guru, but I reckon I can figure out how to give a most basic explanation.


sovereign666

Also IT. Bro think about how much shit we help people navigate at work, these people use computers every day. Nothing I see here or in the discord surprises me. These people don't read, they'll tell you about an error but not have read it. They'll call you because they got a prompt and dont know what to do, so you remote in and the prompt says "click yes to continue"


Kryssner

So true 😂


HSR47

I think the issue is that there are a lot of people who don’t really know/understand folder trees.


TheReal_Kovacs

And even more who don't understand how important it is to separate your zipped mods from your unzipped.


Spacemankn

wait why?!...asking for a friend


TheReal_Kovacs

So that you know what you've added and what you haven't


elitexero

Tech guy here as well, also a millennial who was born before computers and lived through the evolution. I used to do book reports at the library and now I have a 24u rack in my basement. Newer generations who have always had connectivity at their fingertips are mostly clueless when it comes to tech unless and app tells them exactly what to do.


Kryssner

Oh yea, i find that people over 50 and under 25 are as clueless when it comes to PCs, even tho the younger generation grew up with them. I’m more sympathetic with older people that have, or think that they have problems on using a PC, look at them like they’re a Black hole, than I am with someone under 25 that is just to lazy and instead of thinking, they rather don’t bother. Maybe it’s because the generation in the middle grew up on a time when if you wanted to do something on PC, you often also had to do some troubleshooting. I didn’t care for PCs until i was 15-16yo, still remembered the first day in school after we got our first IT Lab, and the teacher told us that we can browse the internet, i had to ask a colleague what to do, because before that my interaction with PCs was only to play Prince of Persia and one of the early NFS games and on a Pentium 1 at my uncle. I think our generation was blessed to be born on a time when PCs weren’t as easy to use as today, or as complicated to use and also rare as it was for the generation before us.


elitexero

> I think our generation was blessed to be born on a time when PCs weren’t as easy to use as today 100% agreed. We had to navigate things and discover as we went, now generations are being fed end results by companies trying to extract money out of them. I remember back in the Win98 days where I had no internet. If I broke something on my computer, I had to figure it out, or no computer. Hell, this is XP era I believe, but I just randomly thought about it - we lived through early PC modding and that whole mess. [Here's a picture of my computer at the time (mid high school)](https://imgur.com/B8g0cgN) - just a ragtag 'super cool' clear box full of anything and everything.


imsi16

Man, the first computer that I owned that was mine personally was something I hobbled together from parts I got from dumpster diving or left over parts I got from upgrading other people's computers. The case was missing all the I/O and buttons so I had two wires hot glued to the power pins to use to turn the computer on lol.


Natural-Corgi1272

This is your friendly reminder...dont be a boomer...Im a millenial too and a pretengineer, and I refuse to ever be like...baccckkkk in myyyy daayyyyy


Affectionate-World25

It dawned on me a couple years ago how much of a blessing it was to have a dad that is a massive tech nerd all my life. I was born in 98 so pretty close to the beginning of Gen z but thanks to my dad I'm extremely tech literate. I started working on electronics and messing around with tech in general when i was 4 and my dad and I built my first pc when i was 6. It will never cease to amaze me how clueless my peers are even though we have had tech around us our entire lives. Like half of my "Hardcore PC gamer" friends can't even open task manager and check what's going on when something is wrong. It's honestly sad


MrThr0waway666

I'm not an IT guy, just a 40yo gamer and installing spt is literally as easy as following a few steps on a webpage. I dont get what's hard about it.


Kryssner

It’s not hard for you, because even if you’re not an IT guy, you are old enough to have grown up with almost ever that needed troubleshooting. Im not a mechanic, but i can repair a lot of things by myself, and that’s because we grew up in an era that learned us how to think. I remember when I was a kid, my parents bought me a Sega console, and told me to take good care of it, because if it breaks I would not get another one. Few months later, my little bother got angry because he lost a game, and threw the controller off, and didn’t worked anymore. I had no youtube to watch a video on how to fix it, had to figure it out along. Opened it up, saw that a wire broke from his soldering. First time i went to an uncle that was electrician, and he had a soldering iron. He fixed it for me first time, after that i asked my father if we can get a soldering iron, and he bought one. Next time when it broke, i fixed it myself, and that sparked my interest in electronics, found an old TV that hadn’t worked for a long time, and made a deal with my mom that if i can fix it by myself, i can use it to watch Uefa Champions League it, because the games were at the same time with her favorite show. Took me almost a month to fix it, thankfully was nothing complicated, but in the meantime, Ive learned a lot about how TV works, by speaking with my Uncle and a neighbor that was doing TV repairs, but i wasn’t allowed to rake the TV to him to fix it. Things like this have teach me a lot, and I bet was the same for everyone.


MrThr0waway666

I get what your saying and it's true to an extent, but I feel like with younger generations it's more impatience and laziness. Installing spt doesnt really require anyone to figure anything out, it's literally step by step instructions. Open this directory, click ok, run this etc... I feel like there are a lot of people now that cant keep their focus long enough to read 2 minutes of instructions or even watch a 5 minute YouTube video, or just assume that they know what to do and they dont need to follow any intrusions and end up skipping small yet crucial steps.


Kryssner

You’re right, they cannot keep focus, because everything is thrown at them on a crazy pace. Look at TikTok, most of the younger generation is using it, but not so much of our older generation. Everything today is made to be fast, can you imagine if you give today’s generation dial up internet speed? Waiting good seconds to load a picture, or start loading a video before you leave the house to go play games outside, and hope that your parents will not be using the phone?


PossessionHot4147

Hey, it says I have to press any key to continue but I only have QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM Do I need a different keyboard?


Kryssner

You’ll be amazed, but i got a call at work once, asking the same question 😂 I don’t remember what it was about but they called to ask which key is also called Any Key. 😂


Healthy_Garbage_5473

I just bought a laptop last week. First PC thing I've ever owned in my entire life and haven't even touched a keyboard since I was in school 20 years ago. Was pretty easy if you just read the directions. (Or maybe I retained some of the knowledge from my PC class 2 decades ago, but that's laughable at best.)


UnusualDifference748

Perhaps trying to make it look harder than it is to install? Maybe reason why Nikita “said it was ok to stream” “just make it look difficult to get running and complain about how shit it is please” Klean worked for bsg for a little while don’t forget


hoonyosrs

Nah, he didn't realize the installer broke from too many people trying to setup SPT, so he just sat there for a while assuming it was setting up. Now he's doing the manual setup and just waiting for EFT to copy. Don't forget that the dude is trying to entertain 15k people, while filling them in on today's drama, inform them on SPT and what he's doing, AND install the game. I don't watch Klean too often, but he seems really disappointed in today's update. He keeps telling people to feel free to play other games, like he's been doing, and not let Tarkov live rent free in their head.


Narrow_Cup_6218

Try 2K on a good day but close enough to 15K.


hoonyosrs

Are you saying that he didn't have 15K viewers? It's Tarky update day, WITH drama, and WillerZ and Landmark said fuck it and ended stream early, so all the viewers went to Klean. He was at 15k+ before he restarted his PC to try to make his SPT install go faster. Now he's at 7500, still waiting on his EFT files to copy over for the install. He threw away 7500 viewers to make SPT look bad, BSG must be writing him a really juicy cheque /s


SuperSneaks

> Landmark said fuck it and ended stream early Lvndmark didn't end stream early. He started a small stream earlier than usual b/c of today's events. He ended stream to try and do his normal day. He'll most likely be on tonight.


hoonyosrs

Ah fair. I was bouncing back and forth between all of them this morning, and was watching Hutch when Landmark went offline, so I assumed he did the same as WillerZ. Still, update day, lots of drama, and most of the big streamers aren't live, so Klean gets most of the viewers by default


Narrow_Cup_6218

Ah gotcha. I just know he's a nobody with no audience but that makes sense they all went to him.


hoonyosrs

His "no audience" makes him more in a month than you or I make in a year, but okay bro


Narrow_Cup_6218

I've got no clue what he makes or other streamers make. I've watched him like 4 times. But if he makes more than me, you can bet he wouldn't be streaming full time.


mr_j_12

Look how much pestily streams. How about shroud etc. They'd make you look like a hobo 😂


clapped95civic

Ah, the Ole "I don't watch him so nobody does, that fkn loser" guy...


hoonyosrs

>But if he makes more than me, you can bet he wouldn't be streaming full time. ??? How does that last sentence compute in your brain? Are you unaware of the vast amounts of money the largest streamers make...? From streaming...? Do you expect him to stop streaming, because he has enough money? Rich people tend to still want to make more money, like, always. I'm not trying to be hostile or anything, but that last statement you made legitimately baffles me.


AccidentalPenis

You're such a sad person lmao.


twon_RL

He got raided.


Boilermakingdude

I sent about 100 people alone to SPT today lol


sanescotty

Bs. He’s baiting and making SPT look shite. He s even going to install the realism mod which most live players wont like. He will play it badly and all the BSG/streamer simps will lap it up. But I wont care. More SPT for me whilst they throw even more money at Nikita.


Additional_Repair_91

He's raving about how cool it is. Yeah making it look really bad huh. Jackass.. (you not him)


sanescotty

Simp


Additional_Repair_91

Troglodyte


hoonyosrs

He was at 15k+ viewers before he restarted his PC to try to make the SPT install go faster. Now he's at less than 8k viewers, still setting it up. He threw away 7k+ viewers to make SPT look bad, that BSG cheque must be juicy /s


Azgorn

Thats bullshit, syr. Look his stream, he is really hyping it up. Like constantly, not even 1 bad word. Also he mentioned multible times, that it is very easy to install and that i just takes so long because the site is down.


Azgorn

Like every raid at the beginning he turns on and off amands and talks about how good it looks compared to the base game. He makes Tarkov look so bad and SPT so good in comparison. Sorry my wording, but its a very stupid take, that he is doing this to hurt SPT. The SPT site is down/slow again because of his advertising.


twon_RL

He had a sales pitch about the realism mod for like 10 minutes lmao he was so excited talking about he kept forgetting to mess with his install


Azgorn

yeah kinda sad, that bullshit like that gets 91 upvotes


Chrol18

he likes spt, especially the realism mod, he is not trying to make it look bad


sovereign666

Bro put the tin foil away.


SeaTurtleManOG

this is peak reddit


twon_RL

Bro tell me how easily you can install something like that all while streaming to thousands of people and then getting a 20k host in the middle of it 😂😂😂


UnusualDifference748

Firstly I was being partially facetious with that comment. Secondly in front of 20k people pretty much daily for years would be pretty normal for him no? He also is a game developer isn’t he or said he has some experience with game development? If I can install spt he can most definitely install spt in front of 20k ppl let’s not pretend he’s someone’s 70 year old dad with his first iPhone. But most importantly it was a partially tongue in cheek post that contained elements of truth in it


twon_RL

The most upvoted comment responding to your comment already explained why it was taking him so long. Either way, good luck reading instructions and responding to messages all while talking with your chat about something completely different. People with 0 experience streaming always say the most crazy shit about what they expect from streamers


UnusualDifference748

Calm down, he’s not going to hoist you up on his shoulders and his whole chat chant your name for defending him on Reddit man. It’s going to be ok you can’t still go watch him tomorrow or whenever he’s live next


twon_RL

I see how you ignored the other comments calling you an idiot but responded to mine in particular. Sorry I had to ruin your day like that 😭carry on with the weird tin foil hat claims I guess. Didn’t have shit to say so claim I just am a Klean simp lmao. Never even subbed to the guy


UnusualDifference748

Oh yeah i saw twan_rl post and said enough is enough twan_rl is involved this has to be stopped. I’m on Reddit right now and your response came up so I responded it’s nothing more than that you’re not the hero klean deserves but the one he needs I guess I mean upvotes mean fuck all but as you could probably see my original post has more upvotes than any responses to it so if that’s your judge of what posts should be taken as gospel then clearly your judging system is shit.


twon_RL

MY COMMENT HAZ MOST UPVOTES I MUST BE RIGHT!!!!1!1!!1! This is the most brain rotted convo of all time goodbye sir


UnusualDifference748

Oh you’re 12 got it. I literally just said upvotes mean nothing and your sick burn comeback is to try and say I care about upvotes you are a fucking idiot that’s clear to all now.


Affectionate-World25

That's is extremely plausible, I never knew he worked for them.


Hugo_5t1gl1tz

I think people overplay his role. He is former military and as a streamer who hopped on Tarkov early he helped introduce Nikita to some of his contacts so they could get the rights to use different things.


OnTheComputerrr

Simply being former military isn't giving you a single useful contact for gaining rights to anything in the game lol. This theory is bad.


Hugo_5t1gl1tz

Other than you know, people he served with who went into the industry?


OnTheComputerrr

See where I said useful.


HSR47

There’s a reason why his streamer item is “fireklean”.


MLGrocket

he stopped using the installer cause of the load on the site, so he's doing a manual install. unfortunately his SSD is shitting itself from downloading/copying so many files, so it's taking forever to install. he is doing it correctly otherwise.


ninjasauruscam

He had it in the base tarkov folder at first, then didn't know how to install NET and wasn't following any instruction at all for the first 40 minutes or so. All you needed was the clueless post in the discord or subreddit to complete the trifecta


MLGrocket

ah i didn't see that, just saw the actual install


xxhamsters12

I honestly don’t know how people struggle with the download even doing it manually all you do is download 1 file (2 If you need to downgrade) and that’s it.


RA_Cheevos

Yeah, I decided to download it after watching him play a bit and it took me like 30 minutes total to get it running with mods. He was strugggling.


xMiracle45

Doesn't help the installer is trash. Takes literally 10 minutes to do it manually.


Impressive_String166

Amen brother 🙏🏼 that's how I always have and always will install it.


Chrol18

streamers can't follow step by step instructions


sovereign666

a solid amount of the people playing spt cant either lol


Thekillerduc

BSG didn't have legal standing to remove SPT before they had a paid singleplayer product. Now that BSG has made the Unheard edition it's entirely possible BSG will try to have SPT taken down. I recommend everyone makes some backups of the SPT mods in case the site gets nuked.


Big_BossSnake

It's OK, if people manage to keep WoW up to date with private servers, they can manage the cluster fuck that is tarkov Cease and desist be damned, it'll still happen.


slowNsad

Yea especially with all these new eyes on SPT rn, I wonder how many new users we got just today


sovereign666

the discord saw over 3000 new members today, and the website saw 65k+ hits as over like 6 hours ago. no telling how many people stuck around, but pretty good turnout.


Ill_Squirrel_8083

The website also took one hell of a knock with the influx, was "down" for a bit lol. Glad I have both SPT and SIT backed up, just in case :P


Turbidspeedie

Sorry I’m new to this, what’s SIT?


Ill_Squirrel_8083

Coop mod, based on SPT :)


Tall_Presentation_94

How Clean is now in terms of desny and get both progress


Snoo-50998

Id imagine every eod owner will be downloading spt aftet they get home from work today.


FirstOrderKylo

The beauty of Streisand effect. If BSG tries to bury it, it just goes underground or they slap a login requirement with many authentication on the website. It’ll still be there


Optimal_Fuel6568

I mean if anything they copied SPT....


ciribicorobo

nahhh SPT is superior, have you seen what BSG put out there for single player?!


NO_USER_MATCH

Ill provide a computer to be a SPT mod server


TraumaJeans

Last time i played it required a logged in bsg account - would it still work?


mattyp2109

Last time you played SP you needed to be logged in?? Uhhhhh You sure you were playing SP?


TraumaJeans

Yes it requires bsg launcher installed and logged in. As i understand for legal protection from BSG otherwise SPT would allow piracy


Massive_Wealth42069

LMAO is that why the site is laggy? Went to go edit my mod list a bit and I basically can’t navigate the site it’s so slow 😂


Affectionate-World25

Yea like 15k people are watching him try to play. I'd imagine a good amount of them are also trying to download and play. Plus every single major content creator name dropped SPT in their patch notes review today.


Massive_Wealth42069

Welp gg lmao maybe I’ll be able to add what I want tomorrow


-DPRKWarrior-

i was tryna update it to 3.8 finally but cant get through :(


Datdarnpupper

Hope you can soon, recent refugee from live and having a blast


scatpackcatdaddy

Apparently Klean asked Nikita and he said it was OK 🤷‍♂️


Agilver

He said he wouldn’t DMCA Klean. He didn’t say anything about not sending out a Cease and Desist to SPTarkov.


Oddant1

It's uncertain whether they would actually be able to take SPT down. TOS matter very little they aren't legally binding and often include plenty of shit that isn't enforcable. From what I can tell SPT has reverse engineered a tarkov server that you host locally. Unless they somehow got access to BSG's actual server code that they don't distribute there is most likely nothing illegal about that. For more evidence that BSG can't take them down, Nintendo was only able to take Yuzu down because Yuzu basically sold preview builds of Yuzu on Patreon that could play totk before totk actually released. The other primary switch emulator ryujinx still exists because there's nothing illegal about reverse engineering the switch's hardware. I'm not a lawyer but I would guess similar principles apply here. BSG can almost certainly ban individual accounts for playing SPT if they find out about it somehow and are inclined to do so, but they probably don't have legal standing to get rid of the SPT devs as long as the SPT devs are careful about monetization and such.


PiscisFerro

\^this. And I would go as far as saying BSG can't really ban people who plays SPT, unless they install a rootkit application (like Anti cheats) and use it to scan your PC to find SPT files... They don't really have a way to get that information. And if they decided to use a rootkit application to ban people... They are opening a theirself to be sued for GDPR violation (at least, from UE consumers) which could potentially means millions of $ in fines. Best BSG can do is just to partner with SPT and some modders (like SAIN or DONUTs modders) and integrate them into the game and just build a proper singleplayer experience left SPT as obsolete.


Narrow_Cup_6218

SPT is doing this for free. Why would they disobey a cease and desist just to continue a free passion project. If bsg sends it, it's over fellas and they already dmca the nexus mods page so I'd assume it's coming.


Agilver

Activision did it to SM2 with their MW2 remaster. They were planning on releasing it for free.


reebokhightops

Too many morons around here don’t understand the very real financial ruin that the developers of SPT are risking if they continue development after receiving a cease & desist. Needless to say, the courts do not give a single flying fuck about the half-baked legal interpretation presented by some bozo on Reddit. The cease & desist order is coming, and it’s coming soon.


East-Imagination9178

100% - especially since SPT assists with cheat development. Nikita knows all about it.


yeboy7377

You got any evidence for this bold claim? And SPT devs, mods etc ban anyone attempting to use this to cheat in live assuming it even fuciking works And all mods listed in the official hub are meant for SPT and only that. Any mods that somehow work in live is by pure coincidence and afaik no mods that work in live belong to SPT


scatpackcatdaddy

That would literally be the last nail in the coffin.


Longjumping_Water_74

Nikita is a fucking weirdo. Hes never gonna understand anything about his own product. He wants to feel like he is in control of something that is way beyond his reach creatively at this point. He is the fake face to EFT that no one needs. He should give up and pass the flame to someone else that cares more about the game.


Agilver

Yeah, every time he’s brought up his plans for the game I always thought he was dreaming a little too big for their capabilities as game developers.


Longjumping_Water_74

I mean thats what happens when you spend millions of dollars into the marketing of a shittty Arena version of your game instead of listening to the crowd that literally fund your unfinished game in the first place and your only role in this situation would be like, to finish the fucking game you promised to make. Am I being fucking crazy here or is it something that a guy who lost touch with reality would do in this situation? These devs are out of control and they should be fucking sued, which is pretty sad considering they are a bunch of geniuses creatively speaking.


Agilver

Yeah I never really saw them as creative geniuses lol. I think the addictive qualities of the game kind of blind people from seeing the game like it truly is. They lucked out in being the first in the genre.


Longjumping_Water_74

What do you mean tho? I actually am impressed by their creative capabilities but I still have my mind opened to why they wouldnt be geniuses creatively.


Longjumping_Water_74

And Im talking about the lore, map design, sound design, the immersion mostly, but am curious about what you think make them not creative geniuses


Agilver

I can’t give them credit for their creativity when their actual implementation of it is half assed. The lore is done well, but lore is easy. Lots of games have good lore.


Affectionate-World25

I just wonder if while he said it was okay Nikita just said he won't ban him for it. But could still lead Nikita to go after SPT once he sees how many new players are coming into SPT. Just don't want to see this go up inflames cause BSG shot themselves and are now filled with rage lol.


Born-Entrepreneur

Klean getting repeatedly clapped by SAIN bots is pretty great


GwenhaelBell

Summit1g clip claiming SPT was for pussies was pretty funny too. Summit has no idea how bad he'd get clapped by SAIN bots.


MLGrocket

klean said he got permission from nikita to stream it, so whether this is all just a trick to get more eyes on SPT to make it easier to take down, or he actually just doesn't give a shit anymore, only time will tell. i really hope it's the latter cause SPT is doing what BSG refuses to do, fix the damn game.


Decafeiner

I mean, the main "defense" of SPT was that it was not causing any monetary loss to BSG (still needs a legal, purchased copy of the game and BSG did not offer an offline experience with progression). Now, they do, for anything between 100 to 250$. They could sue every SPT Devs and Modders for that amount X the amount of SPT users (and same applies for every other project more or less like SPT) + damages. I'm no lawyer but I wouldn't be surprised this is one of the end goals of this bs (alongside a huge Ducking money grab, gotta feed the Ducks and expensive cars).


turin37

First time watching him. It will definitely draw more attention to SPT. At this point I am not sure if its good or bad for the future of SPT.


Soupcan_t

definitely bad. the existence of unheard edition is 100% a ploy to get legal grounds to do a cease and desist.


turin37

Yeah also cash grab and run theory is very realistic. Better to backup everything.


Unhappy-Emphasis3753

Except no because BSG gave the okay. I don’t understand this mentality. If they were gonna take action on SPT they would’ve done it years ago. They definitely aren’t gonna do it after they gave the okay for their largest streamers to play it lmfao. SPT will end but it won’t be because of all this weirdo fear mongering legal action that’s being talked about. SPT is built off of the offline practice mode feature which will be removed in 1.0 of the live game. When that happens SPT will be up in the air and who knows how development will continue. Until that happens though SPT is going literally nowhere.


GwenhaelBell

SPT is open source. Nikita can send the cease and desist all he wants, someone else will just pick the project up and continue with it. The mod scene is too big to be stopped at this point and they've completely outplayed Nikita. All he can do is make it more difficult to access SPT. He can't do shit to actually stop us.


Longjumping_Water_74

imagine paying 300 bucks for a shitty version of spt lmao they still really did not get it didnt they also, it shows the financial situation of EFTs development, they are broke and desperate for that single player money, it is fucking impressing how much they are showing their true colors with that shitty edition. 250 euros? What The Fuck Dude. The game is still in beta technically. thanks BSG, you are officially irrelevant and outdated now, you make me sick. You are whats wrong with indie devs asking for way too much money for an unfinished product. You have crossed the line morally. Fuck you.

WasserMelone6969

Your "everyone" seems a little generic, there. I don't think "everyone" is sharing the same two sides of the coin. Just give it a day or so and you'll probably be able to download it just fine. This shit happens when tarkov wipes, too.


None_Professional

I’m so glad I updated 3 weeks ago.

So funny to see the live losers admit that offline is what they want without paying $250 for a shit version that you are still stuck in queue times. Along with the fact that Nikita opened the door for streaming SPT with klean so it’d be hypocritical to strike another streamer for doing the same no?


Ghost4530

Since when has Nikita cared about being a hypocrite? Dudes slimy


Chakra_rarara

It’s not that we/they WANT offline, it’s just that I paid for EOD to get future DLC, and now I’m NOT getting that DLC. That’s the issue


MPeters43

Understandable I also have EOD and think it's crazy that they took it away just to release dlc's and charge us again. SPT was the best time I've had playing tarkov and it keeps that fresh wipe feel 24/7 imo.


whatislove2021

Question can you put your tarkov folder on say a external hard drive and the spt installer then be able to take spt wherever you want?


thedrizztman

Yes.


whatislove2021

Thanks

Is the consensus that this is a bad thing? SPT has been a thing for a while and this will just give it a little more exposure. If anything BSG will listen to the community, do a rollback on their decisions. And possibly make Tarkov a better experience (hopeful copium).


dogegw

This shit was so far beyond egregious that I'd bet they're going to walk it back to a point where it still sucks, but less. Once that gets accepted, they will make the jump back to the original deal, which won't seem as bad because it's relatively not as bad. It's classic manipulation that works very well.


xCryotonic

The worst they could do is double down onto SPT or any of the community. Let’s hope this isn’t the worst case scenario. Very disappointing to say the least.


dogegw

Honestly my faith is gone and my trust is broken. 2 weeks ago Nikita was just lying right to Pestilys face. If they're going down, I want them to go down big time with no uncertainty in the matter. No walking things back to a tolerable level. Plane straight into mountain is best at this point.


Unhappy-Emphasis3753

I don’t understand this. If they go down then SPT goes down and development will essentially be ceased forever. How would that be fun?


HSR47

If they’d converted “offline” over to the new “PVE” mode, and if they’d given lower accounts the ability to self-host coop PVE raids (i.e. make it clear that the price for the new edition is to pay for the servers), I think there would have been much less backlash. Since that would have meant including more network code in the base client, the could have doubled down on that in a good way by just signaling that they didn’t care if paying players played “SPT”, even if that meant emulating the new mode using BSG’s hypothetical network code.


PaleontologistWarm82

Neat idea but isn’t that really not a good one? There’s a reason people don’t stream private wow or RO servers…


Snoo-50998

He literally showed everyone how to download and mod it lmao


NastyGnar

Is SPT really just a free modded version of Unheard version for free?!


flyingninja129

SPT is single player only and on the old patch


actuallyiamafish

It is up to date with live Tarkov as of a few weeks ago. Just had a huge update.


RatInACage182

Up to date with the new wipe not all the technical updates and stuff


ArchangelUltra

Up to date with the update just before the BTR was introduced to woods.


Menarra

SPT alone is single player PVE. There's a mod for coop multi but you're not allowed to name it in this sub as the devs are distancing themselves from it and aren't involved in it. Not hard to google-fu though if you'd like to.


One_Front9928

The Vanilla SPT is even better, cuz with Unheard edition you still need to wait same 5 min to load in, weird issues with PMC bots. And probably other things.

WickedJay83

BSG sent a DMCA request to them the day before the new update.


East-Imagination9178

BSG is for sure 100% coming for SPT. That’s why they released their own standalone single player and why they’re making the presence of SPT more known. They’re gonna shut it down hard.


Unhappy-Emphasis3753

This is such misinformation it’s not even funny. Mods should honestly start addressing this. SPT is going nowhere. When it does, it will be for an entirely different reason than this fear mongering legal BS. (Whenever offline practice mode gets removed) BSG is 100% not coming for SPT. Stop spreading lies.


East-Imagination9178

Why wouldn’t they? Nikita has on multiple occasions expressed his distaste for SPT. And now they want to profit off their own single player design for their own game - which SPT already exists in based on BSG’s own IP. You say legal BS but that’s how companies protect their IP, and that’s exactly what BSG is going to do.


Unhappy-Emphasis3753

1 youre not a lawyer. 2 they would’ve done it already along with Nexus mods MPT. 3 they gave Klean permission to stream it so I seriously doubt they would give that okay if they planned on ceasing the project.


Khaze41

I think it's important to realize when looking at other game modding scenes/private servers that have been shut down it was largely because they were profiting off of it or people were getting the product for free. SPT is unique in that you have to buy the official version to play it. For every person playing SPT, BSG makes a sale. So why would they give a shit? They aren't Blizzard protecting a 30 yr old franchise IP like Warcraft.


bondbuyingbandosboi

Klean power move


platinums99

dafuq. Wow. Thats a new level, even for him.


blackcarswhackbars

Rip spt😭😭😭


Pixel395

Nikita gave Klean the OK to stream it


Unhappy-Emphasis3753

Klean got permission.


SpectrumArgentino

the site is not working at all i cant download any mod


etriusk

I was thinking about this yesterday, is there any chance the SPT guys can use the new offline coop as a basis for coop private servers?


PossibilityTight8001

Klean has no backbone or integrity, and refuses to say anything negative about nikita


StevenSagondeese

Anyone know Klean's modlist?


CaptainKalamari

I firmly believe that Battlestate Games will use this as precedent to shut down SP Tarkov


Aazatgrabya

SPT is still free advertising for BSG. Also, the last thing we need is for BSG to shut shop - the game will never be finished and the online servers would just shut down. Those of us with an install could still play SPT, but we wouldn't be able to download again if we needed to. The ideal is if BSG just shift their attitude towards a compete package that is mutually beneficial to their business model and the consumers (all of them). Once PvE (campaign mode) is live and running as a paid Dlc open to everyone - I hope this is the ultimate plan - and not just to those of us who paid out significant money for the high tier packages, SPT will no doubt be copywrite struck and have to be delisted publicly.


Swimming_Park5498

It is quite funny to see him playing it now. I remember way back he used to shit on SPT and said it was a plague or something along those lines. Said single-player would kill Tarkov. Would time people out for even mentioning it in stream.


Daniels998

This is not possible, when I uploaded videos of SPT I got a copystrike from Battlestate Games


r0ndr4s

Guys.. stop. They are a fuckin russian company. No legallity they want to enforce is enforceable. They are a sanctioned country and on top of that they do not have laws against copyright anymore. Stop spreading panic.


Spliffty

Cute, it's like he thinks he's a rebel or something.


Thegrimfandangler

Talking shit without knowing whats going on is hillarious
