SPT installation using Lutris

Warning

Never install SPT into your live EFT's game directory!

What you need

  • ~120GB free disk space

  • Lutris

    • If possible, get a native Lutris package (not Flatpak/Snap)!
      • For Ubuntu-based/Debian-based distros: You can find the latest release *.deb package here!
    • Make sure you have all your wine dependencies installed.
    • Make sure GPU and vulkan drivers are installed and working.

  • SPT mod (*.7z archive)

    • Make sure to update to the latest EFT version and follow the downpatching guide if needed.

  • Cover art (Optional)

Installation

TL;DR version

  1. Install EFT in Lutris using the installer script
  2. Install game in BSG launcher
  3. Run winetricks --self-update via Lutris bash console

1. Installing LIVE EFT

  • First off, you need to install the game. Open Lutris and navigate to the + symbol in the top left corner. Select Search for installer on Lutris website and search for the game:

  • Follow the steps shown inside the application, wait until the installation is finished

  • Install the game client as usual.

2. Preparing the prefix

  • Now we need to install some dependencies to the prefix. To do so, click on the wine glass on the bottom of the main Lutris window while the EFT game shortcut is selected → Open Bash terminal, and use the following commands:

    winetricks --self-update
winetricks -q arial times vcrun2022 dotnetdesktop6 dotnetdesktop8 win81

3. Downpatching & mod installation

  • Make a copy of your live EFT game files. You need to place it inside the same prefix, e.g at /home/USER/Games/escape-from-tarkov/drive_c/SPTarkov.

  • If needed, downpatch EFT to the correct version e.g. by running the downgrade patcher inside the game directory. Check out our downpatching guide.

  • When it's done, extract the contents of the RELEASE-SPT-x.x.x.zip into your copied SPT game directory.

4. SPT Launcher config

  • Back in Lutris, right-click the Escape From Tarkov shortcut and select Duplicate. We recommend renaming the duplicate to something like "SPTarkov Launcher".

  • Now you'll need to select the correct executable e.g located at YOUR_PREFIX/drive_c/SPTarkov/SPT.Launcher.exe.

  • Next in the Runner options → DLL overrides section, add the key winhttp with the value n,b and → Save.

5. SPT Server config

  • For the server shortcut we duplicate the SPTarkov Launcher shortcut instead of the EFT one. We recommend renaming the duplicate to something like "SPTarkov Server".

  • Again, select the executable e.g located at YOUR_PREFIX/drive_c/SPTarkov/SPT.Server.exe.

  • Inside the Configure window go to the System options tab, toggle the Advanced switch in the top right, find the CLI mode option below and enable it, → Save.

6. Voila!

  • If everything worked you should be able to launch the SPTarkov Server, followed by the SPTarkov Launcher & login.

  • For better performance & additional fixes, we recommend using latest GE-Proton or wine-ge-8-26 for playing!

Have fun!
