While Battlestate Games does not support nor is affiliated with this project, it exists since two years with over 1.000 players using it every day in their games. So far there has not been a single instance in which RatScanner was proven to have caused any ban.

Make sure you downloaded and extracted the files as described inside the download section

If you still cannot see RatScanner.exe it is most likely removed by your antivirus. In that case, create a exception for it or disable your antivirus.

• Try starting RatScanner.exe as administrator
• Make sure that there is no antivirus blocking RatScanner from accessing or downloading additional files

If you still can't run the application, you are probably missing the WebView2 Runtime (which should usually come with Edge).

Download WebView2 Runtime

• Check that you set your resolution correctly inside the settings
• Try to run RatScanner as administrator

Downloaded the latest version here.

Downloaded the latest version here.

Please have a look at the question below.

1. Close RatScanner
2. Start Escape From Tarkov
3. Go to Mechanics trading screen and wait for all icons to load (no spinning circles)
4. Start RatScanner.exe

This probably means you are missing the Windows Media Features.

There are two ways to install the Media Feature Pack:

• Navigate to Settings > Apps > Apps and features > Optional features > Add a feature, and then locate Media Feature Pack in the list of available optional features.
• Download the pack installer for your Windows version from here and run it.

After the installation has finished, restart your computer to make sure the changes are applied.

Uninstall WebView2 through windows Add or remove programs interface.

If you can't uninstall it, search in windows for regedit and delete these two entries (or make sure they dont exist):

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Clients\{F3017226-FE2A-4295-8BDF-00C3A9A7E4C5}
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Clients\{F3017226-FE2A-4295-8BDF-00C3A9A7E4C5}

After you've uninstalled it (or removed the entries), restart your pc and install WebView2 from here.

Icon scanning still has some known issues, some which are not possible to fix. This currently leads to items like keys and small attachments matching wrong due to their simularity to other items. Also, when in the stash, the light bright in the top center of the screen interferes with the top left section of the stash which results in extremly bad results.
