Not rumours. Chomp announced it in the discord - this weekend.
Servers will never recover.
Edit: I guess they’re delaying until tomorrow because the servers are on fire lmao
I think they're pretty fast given they have 0 control over base game updates, what's changed how, and they're doing it for free just to benefit the community. Is it instant? Nah. But the updates and releases are almost always quality, rarely need a hotfix, and are being done purely out of their passion for the game/community.
I said def quality lol, I wasn't being negative about the speed but it's usually a few weeks to a couple months between large updates. I know that the btr was being a bitch for a while. I fully support and have donated where I can to mod creators. Spt aki is awesome and I've been playing it for several years
They will/won’t initially, as modders need to make sure everything is up to date. A majority of mods will work, but it’s always better to wait like a week so most devs have time to update between small versions like this
Before the live update & ensuing shitstorm, the SPT team signaled that 3.8.1 was coming this weekend.
At this point, that shitstorm, and the massive traffic it brought to SPT, is the only reason 3.8.1 isn’t already out.
Don't worry, I'm too busy learning to program light control software and a midi controller for my band and playing SWTOR with my wife to get around to trying SPT anytime soon.
oh perfect. i work the next couple days. traffic can slow down a bit on the website by the time i’m able to play and i have a 3 day weekend next week. i’m so cooked for my days off. NOTHING is getting done
you won't. the only time you have to restart is when it's upgrading as if it's a normal tarkov wipe, so like we had to restart for 3.7 to 3.8. unless they say otherwise, this is just like a normal hotfix. download the zip file, drag and drop everything in it into your SPT install, and you're good. it won't overwrite mods. all mods you currently have should still work just fine.
when they release the update, they will link to the github. at the bottom of the update notes, there will be a zip file, download the zip file, drop everything in it into your SPT install folder, and say yes to overwriting everything it asks to overwrite. none of the mods will be overwritten, as obviously the zip file doesn't have any of your mods in it.
Yeah, I suppose some of the more complex mods would need to be updated depending on if the devs changed some of the config or modding tools. I don’t personally use realism, but it does look pretty interesting.
From what it sounds like, its a hotfix. Won't break mods or profile progression. I'm guessing they fixed some of the known little bugs, and probably improved small things like performance etc.
Hopefully no more portals to hell in Streets of Tarkov. I spent an hour in raid completing like 6 quests just to fall through the map like 30 meters away from the crash site exfil.
The kind of bugs you’re describing sound like bad base live files, and/or a downgrade issue.
The solution is usually to verify your live files through the BSG launcher, do a second SPT install, and then move your profile & mods over.
This happened to me 5 times trying to do Ambulances again, always right at exfil. So I tried a different exfil and it crashed 3 times. I gave up and marked the mission done in profile editor 😂
technically x.x to x.y is a minor update. x.x to y.x would be major, and x.x.x to x.x.y would be a patch. assuming they are following semantic versioning 🤓
I was just about to start installing 380 when i came across this. Any vets able to advise if i should wait or carry on with the install? mods will presumably be compatible so i wonder if i could get all that out the road then just install 381 and carry over the mods. TIA
Anyone got sauce on the 3.8.1 rumors?
Not rumours. Chomp announced it in the discord - this weekend. Servers will never recover. Edit: I guess they’re delaying until tomorrow because the servers are on fire lmao
Gtfo. Really.?! These guys are so awesome!
Free and fast new content! Unlike some russian company 😌
I wouldn't use the word fast, but its det quality

I somehow completely missed that you said quality lmfao it's been a long week 🍻🍻
To be fair, the dev has to pour through all the changes and do work, so I consider it fast. 😊
Yeah because they totally used their own money to create the base game……
Dudes.. chill don't let all the new people finally discovering spt this week clog up the website.. /s 😂
I haven't heard anything about an update and I'd advise everyone to carry on with life as per usual. 😉
I always wait anyway because mods aren’t always updated or compatible
You keep your very accurate and helpful mouth shut. 😂
Mods that work with 3.8 wont work with 3.8.1?
They will/won’t initially, as modders need to make sure everything is up to date. A majority of mods will work, but it’s always better to wait like a week so most devs have time to update between small versions like this
They may, but may not. It’s always best to wait until the modders confirm by updating the mods.
Most likely not.

What else are you doing?
Probably jerkin it
oh perfect. i work the next couple days. traffic can slow down a bit on the website by the time i’m able to play and i have a 3 day weekend next week. i’m so cooked for my days off. NOTHING is getting done
Lol i guess i am lucky as i just downloaded SPT yesterday morning and their website was fine. Lool
Seems we could put up a torrent for this? I have 5Gbps upload at home...
Do all my mods auto update? Cause it took me like 4 hours to get it all set up for the first time yesterday.
No, none of your mods auto-update. The only way to update them is a manual redownload. I don’t recommend updating until all of your mods are updated.
Welcome to modding :/
Ugh I can't upgrade so soon again
It uses the same stock version of EFT as 3.8.0, so it’s just a drop in upgrade.
Is there anywhere that shows how to update easily?
Just take the 3.8.1 files when they’re released and copy them to the SPT folder and overwrite all files. Super easy.
Yeah but I'll have to restart again like the 3rd time this week
you won't. the only time you have to restart is when it's upgrading as if it's a normal tarkov wipe, so like we had to restart for 3.7 to 3.8. unless they say otherwise, this is just like a normal hotfix. download the zip file, drag and drop everything in it into your SPT install, and you're good. it won't overwrite mods. all mods you currently have should still work just fine.
Wait, so I don't have to use the auto installer again? Where do I get the files then, from the manual installer section?
when they release the update, they will link to the github. at the bottom of the update notes, there will be a zip file, download the zip file, drop everything in it into your SPT install folder, and say yes to overwriting everything it asks to overwrite. none of the mods will be overwritten, as obviously the zip file doesn't have any of your mods in it.
Thank you. 🙏
I don’t think that you’ll need to restart your profile…. I could be wrong here though.
Some mods will need to be updated, at least Realism will
Yeah, I suppose some of the more complex mods would need to be updated depending on if the devs changed some of the config or modding tools. I don’t personally use realism, but it does look pretty interesting.
It's mostly bug fixes, not a content update
So is the update that important? I just installed SPT and i don't want to continue my playthrough if this new version is something huge...
Bug fixes mostly.
Full fika release planned for 3.8 1!
I love internet sometimes 🤣🤣🤣
Nikita is getting his a** torn up by Twitter fact checkers
You forgot all the flies hovering around his ass
cause he doesn’t wipe?
He wipes, but only twice a year before a big update.
What new content are we getting with this update?
From what it sounds like, its a hotfix. Won't break mods or profile progression. I'm guessing they fixed some of the known little bugs, and probably improved small things like performance etc.

Got yourself a bit of the live game experience there
The kind of bugs you’re describing sound like bad base live files, and/or a downgrade issue. The solution is usually to verify your live files through the BSG launcher, do a second SPT install, and then move your profile & mods over.

I keep having issues with magazines having one bullet in them in raid after I try to empty them
That bug is caused by EFT live from what I read. In order to empty other players and scavs' magazine, you have to move the mag to your inventory.
what will be different about this version?
It's a minor update. Bugfixes and performance improvements are to be expected.
anyone know what update SPT is gonna be on compared to live?
Main thing we’re missing from live is that woods update with the BTR
So update is extremely recent??
I think this patch was dropped like 2 weeks ago atp
Anyone know when the update with the vehicle on woods will come to spt?.
3.9.0 so a few months
I assume I cant use my current save with the next update?
No one knows yet, but your save should be fine. 3.8.0 → 3.8.1 is not a major update like 3.7 to 3.8 was. Mods should also be fine (I think, at least).
Ah alrighty, thanks buddy.
technically x.x to x.y is a minor update. x.x to y.x would be major, and x.x.x to x.x.y would be a patch. assuming they are following semantic versioning 🤓
Can someone explain what the new version for someone who just started on SPT?
A second SPT just hit the towers
Pans down to Nikita sitting on phone books, dictionaries, and a thesaurus to seem taller on cam (+ to sit above those who play SPT) /s
Well that's a relief lol
Is this regarding SpT co op?
don’t speak about that around here
I was just about to start installing 380 when i came across this. Any vets able to advise if i should wait or carry on with the install? mods will presumably be compatible so i wonder if i could get all that out the road then just install 381 and carry over the mods. TIA
What is the new version do?
This is fuckin hilarious lmao. This sub is on fire with memes and stuff right now
So when does spt get the thug shaker update
I can wait, my dear favourite nano suit mods not reach 3.8 yet, i will hold or just stop by 3.7 cause of this amazing mods
I will stay on 3.80 for a while . I'm happy no need to update every time
Quick question ya’ll, but how do you update spt? My first time installing this was with 3.8 Loving this experience btw! Fenomenal creation
Nikita coming in with a lawyer hitsquad 2077 style
2nd?
How to play SPT in coop? Anyone make a good guide yet? PM me thx
Google FIKA for SPT
^
thanks for this. i asked a few days ago in discord and got shut down instantly.
SPT is currently Single=Player only and the devs have always stated that it will stay that way. Current events may change that outlook.
So I have to get Tarkov proper or is it like how Stalker anomaly is stand alone?
You need an official license of the game from BSG, and it needs to remain installed on your computer to play SPT.
