Tarkov Requested Value Botpmc Was Not Found | How to Fix

The error message “Requested value ‘BotPmc’ was not found” in Escape from Tarkov, particularly within the SPT-AKI (Single Player Tarkov) modded environment, typically indicates a configuration or compatibility issue related to bot definitions.

🛠️ Understanding the Error

In SPT-AKI, bots are categorized by types such as "assault" (Scavs), "pmcUsec", and "pmcBear". The term "BotPmc" is not a recognized bot type in the standard configuration. If a mod or configuration file references "BotPmc", the game cannot resolve this, leading to the error.

✅ Steps to Resolve the Issue

1. Check for Mod Conflicts or Outdated Mods:

   • Review your installed mods to identify any that might be referencing "BotPmc".

   • Ensure all mods are updated to versions compatible with your current SPT-AKI version.

   • Pay special attention to mods that modify bot behaviors or spawn configurations.

2. Clear the Cache Folder:

   • Navigate to your SPT-AKI installation directory.

   • Delete the cache folder located at SPTFolder/user/cache. This folder will be regenerated upon restarting the server.

3. Verify Bot Configuration Files:

   • Inspect the bot configuration files, typically found in SPTFolder/user/configs/bot.json or similar paths, for any references to "BotPmc".

   • Replace any instances of "BotPmc" with valid bot types like "pmcUsec" or "pmcBear".

4. Consult Mod Documentation:

   • If the error persists, refer to the documentation of your installed mods to ensure they are configured correctly and are compatible with each other.
