Steps:

1. Open BSG Launcher

3. If Install/Repair is stuck → click Set the Path
4. Browse to your actual game folder, usually:

C:\Battlestate Games\EscapeFromTarkov

5. Select EscapeFromTarkov.exe

If folder is correct → click Import Game

🔍 Fix 3: Check If EFT Folder Was Renamed or Moved

If the folder name changed, launcher cannot find “eft”.

Make sure folder name is:

EscapeFromTarkov

Not:

EFT
EscapeTarkov
TarkovGame

Rename correctly → restart launcher.

🔧 Fix 4: Repair Damaged Registry Path

This error happens when the Windows registry entry for EFT is broken.

Steps:

If incorrect → right-click → Modify → paste the correct path.

If the launcher shows the game → use:

• Game → Integrity Check

This rebuilds missing files and fixes detection issues.
