Upgrading from 3.5.0

Migrating existing profiles to SPT 3.5.4 (for people migrating from 3.5.0 or older)

• Copy the user/profiles folder from your SPT 3.5.x folder into your new SPT 3.5.4 folder

Known SPT issues

• Server exe has a different icon (green shape) compared to the launcher
• RARE: Sometimes you'll start a map with no extracts, the only way to escape is to press alt+f4
• Some quests need PMCs to spawn in map locations with no bot spawns, making them impossible to complete (e.g. kill x PMCs in scav fortress/base)
• Selecting the overview tab as a scav can break your client - workaround: alt+f4 to escape
• Your active flea offers are marked as expired when the server is offline and items are returned in the mail
• Flea categories don't always show the correct number of offers when filtering by item
• Extracts are not the same as live, scavs can spawn in PMC spots
• The server will not load when placed in a folder path containing Unicode characters (Japanese and Korean characters especially)
• Looting a PMC dogtag doesn't always show their name on the post-raid kill screen
• Some high level items unlocked through quests are missing from traders' assorts, these will be added as we unlock them on live and dump the data
• Insured quest items that are consumed in a quest can be returned to the player
• The hideout wall is a hot mess right now, BSG have refactored how it works and we need to gut all of the server code that interacts with it and start again. Expect weirdness.
• The post-raid screen shown after a scav raid displays 0 XP, this is incorrect and your scav does earn XP from the raid
• Clicking sort on a container can sometimes cause items to vanish

Known NON-SPT issues

• BSG have blacklisted a lot of high-level items from the flea. You can disable this blacklist by using a mod/editing configs/ragfair.json/dynamic/blacklist/enableBsgList/false
• Rogues are insanely difficult, this is by BSG's design
• Tagging items in raid with special characters, e.g. , or " can corrupt the profile on exiting the raid
• Using horde mode on maps like Customs will cause large numbers of sniper scavs to spawn together in clumps, avoid using horde mode on all maps except factory
• Receive All shows when nothing can be collected from mail
• Moving items around in the inventory is very quiet

CHANGES

ADDED

• Launcher: Added description text to profile selection when choosing a profile explaining what each one provides
• Server: Added PMC responses when they kill the player

UPDATED

• Updated loot (40,000 total map dumps total) + bot loot update
• Updated JSONs to includes majority of changes made by BSG to prices/items/quests
• Small optimisations to multiple server functions
• Reworked calculation of flea price to use the price an item can be sold to a trader instead of the price a trader sells an item - prices of certain items should be much lower and match live more

• Updated russian PMC message locale

FIXED

• Fixed repeatable quests choosing an extraction location with 0% chance of appearing
• Blacklist Item_barter_electr_adv_ultralink(6389c88b33a719183c7f63b6) from airdrops
