Description: On raid start, i get an error on the client stating "error during raid initialization", when I ran FIKA + headless unmodded i didnt have issues, but after installing SAIN i get the error non-stop. I attempted to lower the modload but it didn't change anything.

Get it working without mods. Like remove mods from the server and your client as well. Run a test raid with nothing except Fika to make sure it works.
Then use the guidance in #1204039574314295296 to add mods back in a few at a time to get it working.
it was working but now i cant even start a raid on the headless, just says its initializing the raid and to wait, but nothing changes

what does the error for fika-core mean? any ideas?
It's not relevant for anything
ok ty, not sure where ive been messing up but ill try to figure out the cause
your issues are still caused by mods
damn alright ill start deleting the last batch
IMO start over fresh with a new SPT installation like the fika wiki suggests
Having issues getting started?
You can find our full documentation HERE!
If you run into any issues, go to our support channel and follow the guidelines.
you can eventually move your existing profile(s) into your new install once everything is working
just did that this morning, i dont have a current spt version going so im just starting fresh anyways
perfect, then there's nothing to worry about. reinstall SPT fresh, get fika & fika headless working, then worry about mods after
yeah i couldnt find a way to revert the mod changes already, im downloading a fresh spt and fika version at the moment. should i be including bepinex mod files into the headless folder? or does that create issues when it tries to host servers?
i appreciate the help so far, ive been working on this since yesterday at noon so im hoping to get it finished today lol
All the info you could ever need for modding is in the top thread in #1204039574314295296
But still I feel like I need to urge you once again to forget about modding for now. Get Fika and Fika Headless working.
This is an advanced configuration. Further complicating things with mods is a future problem.
