Download the latest [release](https://www.github.com/InKahootz/ReadySetTarkov/releases/latest/download/ReadySetTarkov.zip). Extract the zip. Run the executable.
You can confirm it's running by looking for the red icon in the tray. Right click to see options.

Nothing is required as a prerequisite to run as it's a self-contained .NET 5 application. This is also why the executable is a bit on the larger side for a relatively simple app.

You can use the .NET 6 Desktop dependent app which is a lot smaller but you will first need to download the [.NET 6 Desktop Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-desktop-6.0.0-windows-x64-installer).

## Concerns

This program does not read any part of the EscapeFromTarkov.exe memory. It soley reads the text logs in your game install folder. It then uses the `FlashWindow` function from `user32.dll` to flash the Tarkov taskbar icon.

All pinvoke calls are in the file `User32.cs`. You can browse that to see how I interact with the running processes (getting the exe location to know where logs are and finding the correct window handle).
All pinvoke calls are in the file `NativeMethods.cs`. You can browse that to see how I interact with the running processes (getting the exe location to know where logs are and finding the correct window handle).

I and my close Tarkov friends have been using the program since the first release (Jan 2021) without any bans.
