Strange, I did everything right to make the Server dedicated and this is what happened here

static leaf
#

It seems that the client cannot connect to the server

#

So there is something wrong there.

  • Maybe wrong backend (spt-server) IP address for the dedi client ?
  • Maybe wrong profile ID of the dedicated client profile from the server?

#

I will review

#

I had this too when i had either the IP or the profile ID wrong. Had to go and copy the profile ID from the server's user/profiles folder from the file of the profile. After that the client started and worked fine

Did you generate the startup script from the server? You will need to edit/open the startup script (like with a notepad) and check that the ID is the correct one. If it isnt, there is your problem. Just replace the ID with that of the dedicated client's profile id

#

So it matches then. Then there is another connection issue

#

The folder that your looking at, does it have the same SPT folder root where you are running your server at?

#

So that is the only profile you have on your server? If yes, then there is something else wrong with the connection

#

Check that you have the same IP set to the startup script as you have for your own SPT.Launcher? And you can connect to it with your own SPT client? (just a reminder to not post screenshot of your ip here 🙂 )

I did the following: I made two Tarkov folders, one for the normal game and the other for the Dedicated Server, I made the settings and it gave me this error that I present to support.

#

The one that is the "normal" should have the dedi profile in its user/profiles folder, right? just making sure

Umm, i maybe worded that wrong. I mean, the SPT installation folder where you are running the server at

#

So if you run the SPT.Server inside the same installation where you run your dedicated client, then it should be in the correct folder

serene tendon
#

Where is the dedicated Tarkov: D:\TarkovDedi
Where is the "normal" Tarkov: D:\Torrent\Client.0.14.9.1.30626

static leaf
#

Which folder you are running the SPT.Server at?

serene tendon
#

From the "Normal" Tarkov folder

#

Good

#

I ran the SPT server from the Tarkov Dedicated folder and it was, what do I have to do now?

static leaf
#

Does it work now?

#

Yep it seems to be working now

#

Now you just need to load into a raid with it 🙂

#

just select that checkbox when you load into a game

#

It should not be greyed out for you, and should be selectable now

serene tendon
#

Yes, but what do I have to do now?

#

start Tarkov from the "normal" tarkov folder?

static leaf
#

Start the SPT.Client from the "normal" folder, make a profile for you and have fun 🙂

serene tendon
static leaf
#

yep

serene tendon
#

Don't I need to start SPT Server?

static leaf
#

If you have it already running on the other folder, you dont start another

serene tendon
#

Ok

static leaf
#

Just make sure you use the same server folder where you always start up the server, the servers have separate databases and your profile is tied to that installation folder/server

serene tendon
#

And my friends? Will they start with just the Launcher too?

static leaf
#

If you would like to use the "normal" installation folder to start up the server, then the profile file needs to be in that installations user/profiles folder instead. But it doesnt matter

static leaf
#

And for your friends to be able to connect to the server, you will need some port forwarding magic OR use VPN such as RAdmin

serene tendon
#

I made two Tarkov folders so it wouldn't go bad. So to use my old saves (before using the dedicated one) do I need to copy them to the Dedicated Server folder?

serene tendon
static leaf
#

Did you have your saves on your own server?

#

in the "normal" installation folder?

serene tendon
#

Yes

static leaf
#

Then dont use the SPT.Server from the "dedicated server". Use the one in your "normal" folder

#

copy the dedicated profile file from here. (the folder you showed me at the start of the conversation) to your "normal" installations /user/profiles folder

#

then the dedicated client should be able to connect to your server which has your old saves

serene tendon
#

It worked here

#

Now I will test it in the game

static leaf
#

yeah, i hope it works now

serene tendon
#

Everything went well my friend, I hope God blesses you with more knowledge, is there anything I can call you here?

#

Thank you very much

static leaf
#

Your welcome. I hope you have fun with your friends 🙂 I also want to remind you that the mods you install to your "normal" folder, needs to be also installed on your Dedicated server installation folder as well to work in your raids. Happy playing!

serene tendon
#

Affirmative my friend, I've already done it

#

🫡

static leaf
#

Great 🙂 🙂

serene tendon

#

What do you mean?

serene tendon
static leaf
#

If you want your friends to use your dedicated server, then yes

#

Otherwise your friends are hosting the raid on their own PCs if they dont check the checkbox

serene tendon
#

Oh yes, thank you!!
