How do I fix the Cannot Find Template With ID error on Tarkov?

1. Verify the integrity of game files

Open Steam and go to your Library.
Locate Tarkov, right-click it, and choose Properties.
Navigate to Local Files. Next, click on Verify integrity of game files.
Wait for the process to complete.
Once finished, check if the problem is resolved.

2. Clear the cache

Open the Tarkov client.
Click your username in the top right and choose Logs from the menu.
A new window will appear containing all your logs. Delete them all.
Go back to the client, select your user profile, and choose Clear cache from the menu.
Wait for the process to finish and start the game again.

3. Start the client as an administrator

Right-click the Tarkov client and choose Run as administrator.
Now try to launch the game.
If this method works, you’ll have to use it every time you want to start the game.

If the Tarkov update is not working, there may be an issue with the cache or local files. It’s also likely that servers are experiencing issues after an event, but that should be fixed shortly by the developers since this is a Tarkov backend error.
