StayInTarkov Coop Mod Install Guide for Client

IF YOU ARE RUNNING THE SERVER FOR YOUR FRIENDS FOLLOW THIS GUIDE This is for all the clients only and these steps should be completed in order. When in doubt start over and try again or reach out HERE for support NOTE: After the copying of the Escape From Tarkov files you should NOT touch the live version of EFT again.

Prerequisites:

Escape from Tarkov is up to date and RUN THE GAME AT LEAST ONCE

Install Steps

  1. Download the latest SIT Manager
  2. Create a new folder to house your client 'Game' and 'Launcher' folders. i.e. a folder called SIT
  3. Inside this folder create 2 more folders called 'Game' and 'Launcher'. Your folder structure should resemble below

SIT/

├── Game/

└── Launcher/

  1. Copy all the files from your 'live' Escape From Tarkov folder to your 'Game' Folder. It should resemble the image below
  2. Download the latest downgrader from HERE
  3. After the downgrader is downloaded extract the contents so that 'patcher.exe' and 'AKI_Patches' are in the 'Game' directory. Your 'Game' directory should now resemble this.
  4. Run 'patcher.exe' and WAIT for it to complete before moving on to the next steps. It will prompt you when finished. You can close the box and then delete 'patcher.exe'. NOTE: It will delete the 'Aki_Patches' folder while it is downgrading Tarkov. This is normal and expected behavior.
  5. Next extract the 'SIT.Manager.zip' and copy the contents to the 'Launcher' folder. It should resemble the image below.
  6. Now start the launcher by running the 'SIT.Manager.exe' file that's located in your 'Launcher' directory.
  7. In the SIT.Manager you need to set the EFT Path. This will be where your COPIED EFT files are that you patched in step 7
  • Select 'Settings'
  • click 'Change' for 'EFT Path' setting.
  • Select your 'SIT/Game' folder It should resemble the image below.
  1. Select the 'Tools' menu and click 'Install SIT'. The launcher will grab the latest release of SIT.
  2. Make sure to select the version of SIT that is appropriate for your version of EFT. If you don't know this then you need to go to your game folder and do the following
  • Right click 'EscapeFromTarkov.exe'
  • Click 'Properties'
  • Click the 'Details' pane
  • Look at the 'Product version' it is 0.13.9.1-27622 at the time of writing this document.
  • Selecting your SIT version for your EFT version
  • Since I have 0.13.9.1.27622 I can use any of the corresponding 'StayInTarkov.Client' versions that utilize that EFT version. Unless otherwise stated though it is best to choose the latest release for your EFT version.
  1. Make your selection and click 'Install' after it is complete you need to get the IP of the server from whoever is hosting and place it in the 'Play' tab. For this example I am using my local host IP for security reasons, but yours should RESEMBLE this.
  2. Now enter a username and password (Nothing sensitive as these are stored in plain text). Select 'Remember Me' and Click 'Connect'
