No start raid button with headless client w/o graphics | Project Fika | Page 1

TinyTwinky has submitted a ticket

Versions: SPT 4.0.10, Fika 2.0.10
Networking: Port Forwarding, Headless running on Remote PC, Same PC as server
Description: When launching a raid with the headless it will not show the start raid button unless it has been launched w/ graphics

When Launched with Graphics it works as intended

No errors are displayed in the log or in the console the headless simply times out and restarts leaving the client at the "waiting for host it initialize raid" screen

Paste every file from your headless /logs folder, the latest folder as well, after it happens.

#

And then once it happens, attach client Player.log here as well again

The given log for headless has no raids started

There is your problem

tranquil oasis Dec 31, 2025, 9:36 AM

#

That happened after connecting with the client, and waiting for the Start raid button

marsh trout Dec 31, 2025, 9:36 AM

#

The headless clearly does not see the connection, so make sure it's configured correctly.

tranquil oasis Dec 31, 2025, 9:58 AM

#

Not sure what needs further configuration for the headless backend URL is set to loopback address, If set to the local or public ip the headless does not connect to the SPT server

marsh trout Dec 31, 2025, 9:59 AM

#

Not backend - the F12 settings.

#

Can you start the headless, start a raid and then paste:

LogOutput.log from headless
Player.log from your client

Wait at least 3 minutes

tranquil oasis Dec 31, 2025, 10:16 AM

#

I uninstalled and reinstalled fika and the headless using the automated installer, and graphics mode works the same issue as w/o graphics

No start raid button, Headless times out
Need to Alt+f4 client to exit

What configuration needs changed in the F12 for the headless

I had a working setup for STP 4.0.7 and Fika 2.0.7

Your client cannot connect to the headless

tranquil oasis Dec 31, 2025, 10:27 AM

#

Is there any indication as to why it is unable to connect?

marsh trout Dec 31, 2025, 10:30 AM

#

no

#

does the ip look correct to you

tranquil oasis Dec 31, 2025, 10:32 AM

#

Yes, Ive tried both local and Public

marsh trout Dec 31, 2025, 10:33 AM

what is the other ip

marsh trout Dec 31, 2025, 10:49 AM

I'

#

m not entirely sure.

#

it can reach it on the ping, but fails to connect.

#

Remake your firewall rules? Restart PC?

tranquil oasis Dec 31, 2025, 10:56 AM

#

Just double check firewall rules, port forwarding, reset IP Stack on both client and server, Same behavior.

getting off for now, will continue troubleshooting tomorrow, thank you for your help.

I'm not sure... mine's loading just fine and gets to the menu.

#

Can you please make sure all IPs are correct in the launch config?

#

Nothing has changed other than one script that is not even involved with launching. So it makes little sense that it would crash

tranquil oasis Dec 31, 2025, 6:39 PM

#

HeadlessConfig is set to loopback

Client launcher is set to LAN address for Server:6969
Force bind is set to 0.0.0.0:25565

From what I can tell, the headless closes when it tries to load that .dll and the manager just relaunches it

marsh trout Dec 31, 2025, 6:40 PM

Never actually makes it to main menu with new FikaCore.dll

real mason Dec 31, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

try creating an anti virus exception for the new dll file or something. i have no idea what would be causing that.

tranquil oasis Dec 31, 2025, 7:49 PM

#

Disabled AV, same result

#

Its odd it only happens with the new .dll does it need a Reg key update?

real mason Dec 31, 2025, 8:20 PM

#

fwiw i just created a completely fresh spt install, installed fika.headless, copied over the Fika.Core.dll file from the other support thread, and it booted right up. not sure why your system doesn't like that dll file.

tranquil oasis Dec 31, 2025, 8:23 PM

#

welp the only next step i can muster is to factory reset the server and hope it kills and windows boogins that are lurking

I will update post once reset is complete and I have a chance to test again

tranquil oasis Jan 1, 2026, 7:56 AM

#

Happy New Year

Factory resetting the Server PC, seems to have resolved the issue, I was able to successfully run a single factory Raid with headless running without graphics

I will test additional raids after I get some sleep

I appreciate all your help troubleshooting and look forward to the future of fika

tranquil oasis Jan 2, 2026, 5:50 AM

The new .dll seems to be working on lan, I'll have some friends to test with tomorrow to verify remote client functionality
