How do i see if Bios has an update?

[ornate wasp]

can someone please help me with a quest glitch?

[heavy thunder]

anyone know a way to improve ping in game i keep disconnecting ?
honestly its from the shit country im in has virtually no servers (south africa)

use exitlag to optimize server routes and have nordvpn too but dont use it while gaming, heard it would only make things worse, is that true or nah ?
really looking to improve my ping literally never had below 100 ping in any game:/

[eager sleet]

Lots of people in oce run exitlag for server routes as our infrastructure is beyond a joke. It does help with stability ping wise or at least I have found that it does. As always it can be seen as a 3rd party software/VPN and can be touchy tos side of things, so up to use if you wish ti have a fiddle around with it or not.

[mighty anvil]

Why is changing the email on an account so hard? Ive provided everything they asked than said ive provided nothing. like how? the screenshots had all the information they needed to change the email to a new one. I dont understand why the change email feature isnt enabled anymore. Im not buying another account because they cant figure out how to change an email..

[unique glacier]

hi everyone, i bought this game from eft official website , 1-2 months ago. i am from turkey. the region should be eu but it is usa. is this a problem? should i send a ticket for this issue to eft?

[obsidian bronze]

Only support can help you, so you'll need to open a ticket 🙂

[vivid briar]

Guys i have an 1650 i3 10100 shoud i buy a i7 10700 ?

Ir buy new mother board an a r5 5600x?

What do tour think?

[heavy thunder]

ahh okay thanks thats cool, yea agree it does help a little with stability ping wise.
yea maybe i will some point if im desperate enough to play online lol, havent had any issues with exitlag so far but yea cant be bothered testing the vpn atm

[vivid briar]

i would say buy the 5600x

[low solar]

where do i report someone sorry i dont see i

nvm i found it

[loud moss]

Move to either a 5600x, 5700x, or 5800x3d. Or if you want to avoid another motherboard swap next upgrade go with a 7000 series ryzen, if you're willing to spend on the 7800x3d get that at most, x3ds run games like tarkov very well and anything above the 7800x3d has drops in performance. After you get your cpu look into a new gpu

Don't name people here

[nova inlet]

where than?

thx

[sweet nebula]

Hello I can't connect to raids 95% of the time, but when I do connect I have zero lag issues and very smooth frame rate. I am only connected to US central at 33 ping but have tried other US servers. I usually get the game aborted message when loading loot is almost done or just finished, otherwise I am stuck on the awaiting session start.
Possible solutions I have already gone through:

1. reinstalling
2. Running as administrator
3. Changing mtu
4. Changing dns servers both what was personally the fastest as well as google's and also tried the "automatic" setting.
5. Flushed dns
6. cleared cache
7. Restarted modem
8. Integrity check (reported nothing wrong)
9. network diagnoses (also reported nothing wrong)

I don't know if this is an issue but on my task manager the game only uses 0.1 mbps of my network.

Please help. I have spent around 6 hours trying to figure this out, Thank you so much, take care.

[slim spruce]

You disconnect all the time with no good games?

[sweet nebula]

No, I rarely connect, but when I do connect the games are good

[slim spruce]

If you get good games with no disconnections, on maps larger than factory, it may be regular internet connection problems

[sweet nebula]

like what?

[slim spruce]

Bad connections, damaged hardware, other regular connection issues with your ISP.

Other causes could be underpowered pc

[sweet nebula]

I dont think it is my computer runs at consistentantly over 60fps even on streets

is isp internet service provider?

[slim spruce]

yes

Do other games have similar problems?

[sweet nebula]

not at all

[slim spruce]

computer specs?

[sweet nebula]

rtx 3060 ryzen 7 32 gigs of ram forgot what the motherboard is

it can run halo infinite and forza horizon 4 perfectly for comparison

[slim spruce]

When was the last good game you had on tarkov without disconnections?

[sweet nebula]

yesterday on shorline before that tho I managed to scav a couple times on streets

[slim spruce]

Another possibility is the wrong connection configuration from your internet service provider that only affects tarkov, but this problem usually prevents you from playing at all.

The problems are caused by a lack of IPV6 from your ISP or a dual stack lite connection.

[sweet nebula]

I thought tarkov didnt use ipv6

what is a dual stack lite connection

[slim spruce]

dual stack lite is a shared ipv4 with others and a unique ipv6

The other connection config that may cause infinite disconnections is having a unique ipv4 but no ipv6

Check a website like whatismyipaddress.com to see if it says supported for ipv6

Don't share it here

[sweet nebula]

will do

it says ipv6 is not detected

but I know some people managed without ipv6

[slim spruce]

This problem tends to randomly appear without warning.

[sweet nebula]

Could I try using a vpn to use ipv6

[slim spruce]

Yes

[sweet nebula]

Alright I will try that tonight thank you so much!

[obtuse cosmos]

Got back from a trip and now eft is stuck at battle eye updating
What ways are there to fix it?

[slim spruce]

reboot and try again

[obtuse cosmos]

Tried that already

[prime belfry]

have not crashed yet, but i know my PC will reboot mid raid at some point

[wheat venture]

My pc has shutdown and reset on the exact moment I was going to deploy on Woods (luckily I still survived the raid)
I thought it's that my pc actually has a bad psu but my friend told me it's because of the game's optimization (and it can BSOD and shut down the pc from time to time, which yeah that's true lol since a BSOD did happen to me before on EFT) and that I should play the game on low, is it actually the game's issue?

This is the first time

atleast on this pc

[slim spruce]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/441

[rich pewter]

So now when i turn on my computer it is stuck on the windows loading screen

So i’m just gonna end up doing the windows thingy

reset windows

[slim spruce]

thanks, use modmail next time

[wheat venture]

I just really need to know if this is the game's issue and not my (sorry for the image before btw)

[slim spruce]

game and part pc config yes

[wheat venture]

pc config?

[slim spruce]

depending on the blue screen error

[wheat venture]

I had no blue screen

the pc immidiately shut off, the only thing that has showed up is (the time has come, which seemed like out of a creepypasta lmao) and I see the company (asus) logo on the BIOS

luckily because my pc has virtually no HDD (both drives are SSD) I was able to get back in immidiately

my main point and concern is, was there damage done?

[slim spruce]

No

[wheat venture]

Alright good

at this point I'll play tarkov on low now

thank you for confirmation

[smoky creek]

Does anyone know how to fix long load times? It seems everyone I play with loads at least twice as fast as I do (normally takes me around 5-7m). I have a ryzen 5 5600x with a rtx 3060 with 330 mbps up and 110 mbps down for internet speeds. Also the game is on an ssd.

[vivid briar]

@hot elbow

what pc help?

[hot elbow]

Hi, Just looking to upgrade but my options are either a i5 12400f or a ryzen 5 5600x (from a i7 8700k)

just wanting to know what would be the better option

[vivid briar]

12400f imo

[hot elbow]

I was thinking that! i will look into it thank you!

[pine pasture]

My friend was false banned almost 6 months ago, i played with him almost every level and almost certain he isnt a cheater. Hes emailed bsg and battleye multiple times to no avail. What are some options?

[sand anvil]

ìs there a command in console to quit the game?

[drifting bay]

pretty sure it’s just “quit”

[vivid briar]

what does hbao "colored ultra" mean

or "colored ultra" mean altogether

[slim spruce]

I believe that is chroma subsampling.

4:4:4 vs 4:2:0

[sand anvil]

i tried it. nothing happened, did u test it?

[marsh igloo]

any tips on stirrup

[azure anvil]

win

[marsh igloo]

i try

any hand gun recommendations for it

[vivid briar]

glock 18

[marsh igloo]

for a lvl 11

[vast current]

my download is stuck on 2mb/s

it switches between 1 and 2

[vivid briar]

Why cant i hear sound?

one moment i was just good and now i cannot hear anything

restarted the game a few times checked my windows settings

[vivid briar]

FN 5.7 using l191 or ss197 sr

[prime belfry]

Someone please help, every raid no matter what map, pmc, scav. I crash with this and my PC reboots itself

[loud moss]

what bluescreen error code.

[trail spire]

Is using Vsync considered gay

[prime belfry]

that screenshot is all it gives me, and only for a split second then just reboots

Could only snag that screeny from recording

[vivid briar]

@slim spruce

[loud moss]

i cant tell what the error code is

[vivid briar]

is "project lasso" really nesseccary if i have 4070ti, 7 5800x3d and 32gb 3200mhz ddr4 ram

[vivid briar]

@loud moss what do you think

[loud moss]

no. because your cpu architecture does not make a difference in it.

[prime belfry]

idk if thast helps any, but i cant play the game cause of this issue

[loud moss]

did you overclock your computer? have you checked your temperatures?

[prime belfry]

never overclocked

This wasnt an issue about 2 weeks ago

So i figured it'd be an easy fix, but i have tried so many things. It probably is simple, but idk

[loud moss]

i suggest if you have xmp on in your bios to turn it off, if the crashing continues reseat your ram, check cpu, gpu temps.

your error code usually has to do with a peripheral in your computer having an issue

[prime belfry]

what is xmp ?

or where is it in bios? im no good at bios

[loud moss]

memory overclock,

[prime belfry]

Ill check it out

thanks

?

@loud moss

[loud moss]

look for memory settings or memory frequency. check if xmp is on.

[mossy glen]

Tf is this

[trail spire]

thats cream

[dull dirge]

Any chance a BSG employee can reach out to me? never been game banned, full access to the account, IP is whitelisted, i receive pw reset emails from [e-mail], the list goes on - just not receiving authentication emails.

edit: yes i sent in an email to the support email 6 days ago, no response

[vivid briar]

when you exit your game does this still appear?

[mossy glen]

no only in tarkov

it doesnt show up on screenshots or clips

i uninstalled and restarted and verified

gpu scaling😡

[vivid briar]

was this the cause?

[mossy glen]

yea

[vivid briar]

ok ok ill keep this in mind in case someone experiences this issue
thanks i was stumped on how to fix this

[vast current]

is it normal for the game to be using 7 gigs of ram

i guess 8 now

[tall yacht]

So I’m trying to download the game but it wouldn’t progress and it would be stuck at 0 mb’s so I tried to pause it then unpause to see if it would fix the issue but now I can’t even unpause it

Im gonna restart my pc to see if it helps

It fixed it nevermind

[cursive crypt]

hey guys im inconsistently experiencing very bad stutters in my game its at apoint where every second or so the game literally freezes for a split second and the sound is completely gone

can anyone help me with this?

please dm me if you have an answer

[sturdy ember]

Does klimnov extract work !?

[tall yacht]

after finishing a raid i got locked in this screen, i tried quitting the game but it wouldnt work, it didnt even show up on task manager

[polar hatch]

Happened to me too, you just gatta relaunch, you’ll have everything still if it was a scav raid

[tall yacht]

how do i do that? do i just restart my PC?

[polar hatch]

If you can’t end the task, I would restart

[tall yacht]

alright i will do that, thank you

[sturdy ember]

Best night map to find priest for broadcast 5 ?

[sturdy ember]

Haven’t found a cultists all wipe

[sage beacon]

For the past while (month and a half) the game has been consistently freezing then crashing my pc and its giving me the shits because of the amount of kits i lose. I only run labs on the worst setting possible and my specs are attached.

When it freezes there are 2 things it does

1. Freezes the screen and still plays audio for maybe 10 seconds (most common)

2. Screen goes completely black and plays audio for maybe 3-4 seconds (rare)

Ive reinstalled my graphics drivers twice, reinstalled windows once and reinstalled the game 3 times.

If anybody knows how to fix this or if its just a software issue please help me out im losing my mind not being able to play this game.

[sharp ingot]

What’s your ram look like while playing?

[sage beacon]

i havent really monitored it but its normally full

[sharp ingot]

Maybe try increasing the size of your page file

It also could be your processor is too slow.

[sage beacon]

how do i do this?

[slim spruce]

Try adding 16000MB minimum and 25000MB maximum page file to an SSD as shown here and reboot:

yea , +852

EOD

how can i tell lol

nope

[west oracle]

Hiya, so basically when I play online every second or two my game stutters, like a freeze frame. Anything I can do about it?

[random gazelle]

died the other day doing it, ran two reserve last night and survived the first one. wasnt a run through, over 10 mins in. maybe cause i died the second raid and it bugged?

[delicate pelican]

I range from 100-120 fps and when i full auto i drop to like 10 frames. Slow semi shots are good. All my drivers are updated and minimum graphics settings. Any fixes?

[leaden basalt]

@grave holly could you please further elaborate here?

[grave holly]

whenever i do send a email it says "Your email could not be delivered to one or more recipients.
See below for the delivery error and email.

The most common reasons for undelivered email are wrong recipient address or wrong configuration on the recipient mail server."

even tho this is the email adresse ive used [e-mail]

[obsidian bronze]

Are you not able to login and use the ticket system?

[grave holly]

thats why i want to contact support

since im unable to log in

[leaden basalt]

What mailing service are you using?

[grave holly]

Proton

I've tried now emailing them from outlook, lets see if this one goes through

[obsidian bronze]

If you can, try email from gmail.

[grave holly]

well thats the issue my gmail got hacked

ok it seems like outlook went through. is proton blacklisted or smth?

[leaden basalt]

Not as far as I know..
Regarding your gmail account, have you tried going through google's account recovery process? https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6294825?sjid=23453621089344838-EU

[grave holly]

ofc, those links are all useless, the hacker is some type of AI, everything got changed in 1 min, my phone number, recovery email, 2FA, Google authenticator and the funny part is, it didn't need any verification to change them! What a joke of a company

it even set a "security key" which is some type of usb device, a backup code(deleted mine) and the best part of that recovery is they ask as 3rd method to give them the confirmation code from my hacked account 😂

[polar hatch]

Does anyone know if my friend can get support in the discord to get unbanned? Since he was falsely banned ingame he also got banned from the discord. His username is xdare_

Can someone assist me in deciding whether to upgrade my cpu or not for tarkov?

i have 16gb ram, nvidia geforce rtx 3060 GPU and an i5 10400 CPU. Should I swap my CPU with an i9 12900k?

[loud moss]

you would be best off upgrading cpus first, granted do you do anything other than gaming? 12900k is nice but not really necessary if you just plan on playing games, ryzen is also an option if you want the best performance with the x3d cpus

[hollow wave]

To be honest, CSGO & Tarkov is 99% of my time on my computer. Looking to get more frames for tarkov, I would say what I currently have now is meh/good and I'm just looking for a good bump in frames. My frame shit double digits fairly often. I googled around and saw that tarkov is cpu intesive and noticed several streeamers such as LVNDMARK use the 12900k CPU which isn't expensive for me at all to upgrade to.

I have several clips of my gameplay I go back to and see that I had 70-90 sometimes even lower frames on maps such as customs.

[loud moss]

lvndmark is also constantly streaming and multi tasking on his pc, and chances are, he's apart of the streamer group that overpays for their brand new pc that only changes out the cpu by one generation and doesnt really know what it does

either choice will work fine, the x3ds will just work better. the 5800x3d beats my 12900k by a bit. the 7800x3d does even better

[hollow wave]

Hmm, to be honest just after reading that reply I will most likely go with the x3ds or the 7800x3d whichever is better and depending on the price. Do you suspect that if I keep my GPU (3060) and upgrade my CPU I will see a "dramatic" increase in frames for tarkov?

My max budget I'd spend for this is $500

[loud moss]

yes, and the 7800x3d will be the best way to go as anything above such as the 7900x3d/7950x3d has worse performance, just make sure to get yourself a new am5 board and a 2x16 ddr5 kit, id be looking at 5600-6000mhz.

[hollow wave]

Oh....I'm not interested in getting a new board

I was hoping to just swap a CPU

Do you have any suggestion for something to just swap out and play?

[loud moss]

no, you're on a dead socket

[hollow wave]

Oh, great! lol

[loud moss]

your only choice for changing out is changing your motherboard. you're not gonna get the 12900k in either

[hollow wave]

Just noticed this.

[loud moss]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x3fMBj this takes you to 650, assuming your power supply is fine

[hollow wave]

Spectacular. I guess this will be a whole project for another day. Was really just looking forward to picking up a CPU today and getting a good frame boost.

[loud moss]

would be difficult making any other swap worth while without a new socket around 10th gen

[hollow wave]

Right.

[loud moss]

• prices on slightly stronger cpus like yours around the 9th to 11th gen, are not great

[hollow wave]

What would you do if you were me?

Just swap the motherboard and CPU?

[loud moss]

if you're going to the am5 7800x3d you're changing cpu, motherboard, and ram. its ddr5 only.

[hollow wave]

Got it

I will most likely go that route

[vivid briar]

will there be tarkov halloween / christmas discount

[vivid briar]

@loud moss what should i set my paging size with 32gb ram

[loud moss]

16000 initial, 24000 maximum on an ssd.

[sinful marsh]

Can anyone help me with this, I have 64gb of 3600 RAM and still get these frames on streets on low settings, I'm not very computer savvy

[rich hawk]

Hello my friend is experiencing like a lag when he turns his mouse from left and right in game any ideas or thoughts 🤔 please help

[loud moss]

dm me your specs and settings.

[twilit cloak]

Where'd the Cooperate/Greeting prompt go when i look at a player?

[vivid briar]

Hello, how can I start the Tarkov Arena? I just bought it but it downloads the BSG launcher and it starts the normal game

I wanna play the arena to check it out

[dull dirge]

Arena is currently not available to the public other than those at TwitchCon

[vivid briar]

oh ok thanks 😐

[loud moss]

its not out.

[frail wedge]

can someone assist me im trying to download the game and i keep getting error
its saying this folder does not contain the correct version of the game

[frail wedge]

halpppp

[raw wedge]

No more tarkov rip pc

[delicate pelican]

I range from 100-140 fps on medium to high setting and when i full auto i drop to like 10 frames. Slow semi shots are good. All my drivers are updated and minimum graphics settings with no fix. Upgrades BIOS and no fix. Uninstalled and no fix. I played a few months ago and had no issues. Any fixes?

[elfin fulcrum]

60-100fps poor - high, Ryzen 7 5800x, 4060 8gb, high - ultra quality gives me 80-95..... this dosent make any sense to me its the same across all games???

[acoustic turtle]

i keep on stuttering whenever i shoot my weapon, can someone help me?

[minor ledge]

amd gpu?

[acoustic turtle]

yea, recently upgraded and ive uninstalled my old drivers from my nvidia card

[minor ledge]

disable everything in amd adrenaline software

[acoustic turtle]

ive done that already

would there be anything else causing it?

[minor ledge]

Not sure, whats your pc spec?

[acoustic turtle]

my specs are radeon rx 6700, amd ryzen 7 5800x, 16 gigs ram

i mean i get good fps, then i just drop fps whenever i shoot any gun

[minor ledge]

Running on a SSD? did you try lowering graphics, turning off vsync

[acoustic turtle]

i have my graphics at the lowest, games installed on a ssd, and i dont have vsync on

[minor ledge]

Might still have some drivers issues, try clearing cache in launcher if that dosnt help i would probably factory reset windows to make sure you dont have old drivers issues, if that's not an option i cant really help you more sorry

[acoustic turtle]

heres what it looks like ingame

ill try to integrity check my game files and clear my cache

[minor ledge]

You can also try this works really well for me

[acoustic turtle]

i can try that

[minor ledge]

make sure to reboot game after change

[acoustic turtle]

didnt really fix it, should i try uninstalling and reinstalling my game?

[minor ledge]

Nah i doubt it change anything

[minor ledge]

Your amd drivers are up to date and you restarted pc after installing them?

[acoustic turtle]

yea i just did the ddu thing

for uninstalling old drivers, and i reinstalled the newest amd drivers

[acoustic turtle]

i fixed it im kinda dumb, turns out i was uninstalling the wrong drivers when using ddu

[minor ledge]

Lmao im glad you found the solution!

[lavish quarry]

And, what does it mean when I run tark I have a tab that says sho like "it is not possible to run this application on your PC" in short, something with the version there is next. And also, when I open Steam, I want to start the game, my Steam immediately crashes

[cerulean abyss]

my keys are gone

they just all disappeared???

nevermind

the fucking preset button fucked it hahaa

[grave parrot]

Anyone know why i dont have gunsmiht 25? its been 24hours

[molten girder]

Whats the bitcoin farm cutoff? is 25+ gpus worth it?

[snow urchin]

i've just changed my password and logged in to the website to download the client

but when i try to log in to the launcher it says incorrect password

nvm

[tulip jetty]

anyone eu and has ks with flash round to help me finish controller?

[clear cloak]

Anyone else experience the Raid Ended scav loot transfer window just infinitly stall after moving items and you cannot sell your items. Restarting just resets the loop.

[forest flame]

I was editing a preset by right clicking on the m4 in peacekeeepers store and now this happend to it, any fix?

[graceful tendon]

do people with eod get arena beta access? if so where do i download?

[slim spruce]

Arena is not out yet

EOD gets access to testing when available yes

[graceful tendon]

oh okay thanks

[keen lake]

Yo i need some help: whenever i stream my tarkov to discord it says “stream paused” for them and seconds later i just dont hear them anymore? Anyone got a solution?

[vivid briar]

What’s your resource usage on your PC when you’re doing that?

I know some people who can’t stream Tarkov without bugging out.

[keen lake]

ill try checking, do i need to check in raid or out ?

[vivid briar]

Just whenever the issue occurs.

[keen lake]

like atm im streaming and its at 49%

issue hasnt occured yet

[vivid briar]

Maybe try in raid then.

[fading falcon]

Any idea how to fix this error?

[slim spruce]

delete the files in that folder

[slim spruce]

clearing the cache in the launcher should do it also

[fading falcon]

uhh

the file wont delete lol

[slim spruce]

What does it say?

[fading falcon]

Nothing I press delete and hit Yes to delete and the file just stays there, no error or anything

[slim spruce]

reboot and clear cache in the launcher

[fading falcon]

When I try to open it, it says its corrupted or unreadable

[slim spruce]

The launcher?

[fading falcon]

Nah the live file

[slim spruce]

reboot and start the launcher as admin and clear cache

[fading falcon]

I'm assuming it's because I blue screened when I was loading into a raid

Nope that didn't work either

Maybe I need to delete the whole game?

[slim spruce]

check C drive for errors

in the right click properties > tools of C in my pc

You might also need to run diskchk on C

[fading falcon]

It did find a error and it said it fixed it so lets hope that worked

nope

Still says it has a error

[slim spruce]

start the launcher as admin, clear cache

[fading falcon]

Still didn't work.

Whats the diskchk you were talking about?

[slim spruce]

open cmd as admin and run "chkdsk C: /F /R" no quotes and click yes to do it in a reboot

[fading falcon]

Still broke

about to factory reset pc

[slim spruce]

that would probably fix it but all you need is to force delete those files in that folder

[fading falcon]

Any ideas how to do that?

Or shall i google

[slim spruce]

It's complicated

what happens when you try to delete the files?

When the launcher is closed.

[fading falcon]

Nothing

I hit delete and yes, and thing nothing happens

Del /F /Q /A C:/Users/Austin/AppData/Local/Temp/Battlestate Games/EscapeFromTarkov/Icon Cache/live/Clothing? would work maybe?

[slim spruce]

it could break things

[fading falcon]

break it more

Code doesn't work anyways

[slim spruce]

make sure your account on windows has full access to it in permissions of that folder

and apply that to all files in that folder

properties > security > permissions edit

[fading falcon]

Yes has full permissions

[slim spruce]

everything is fine with chkdsk?

[fading falcon]

Just did safe mode fix and it said it fixed 2M files lmao

[slim spruce]

If this continues without a bluescreen causing it it could be a problem

[smoky spade]

Error 1392 is displayed when a file or directory is corrupt and unreadable. The location specified in the error message states that some temporary files are corrupt. Since this a temporary file only, you can delete the file mentioned in the error message and check if the issue persists.****

is this on a harddrive or an SSD

[fading falcon]

ITS FIXED

I had to do the chkdsk and restart into safe mode for it to fix it for some reason

[smoky spade]

your drive might be nearing the end of it's life, i'd highly advise backing up anything important now

Pictures particularly

[fading falcon]

It's only a year old

[smoky spade]

could have been damaged in shipping

[fading falcon]

It's on a nvme btw

Samsung

[smoky spade]

what mfu

[slim spruce]

a bluescreen causing this is perfectly fine a new drive

[mighty anvil]

Does anyone know a simpler way to change your email on a tarkov account?

[fading falcon]

It's the 990 Pro

[slim spruce]

Only support can do this. Contact them.

[mighty anvil]

I have 3 times, and wasted 1 month talking to them to get nothing.

[slim spruce]

Do you have a good reason?

[mighty anvil]

Yes, I bought eft on my roommates email so he can play with me because he didnt have money at the time. Well at the end of this month he will no longer be my roommate. and I want to switch the main email so I dont have to get a code from him every time i log into a game that I purchased.

[fading falcon]

Damn the blue screen deleted all my signins, browers bookmarks and extentions and everything wtf

[slim spruce]

It probably sounds like account sharing or selling to them. They usually only change the email due to loss of access to the email or other severe problems.

Like not receiving emails like from hotmail.

[mighty anvil]

Nothing states that someone can not gift a game to someone. Its legit a buy option on eft. I just now want that account to back to an email I have access to. Roommate is full aware of me trying to change the email and everything. I dont understand what that issue is?

[slim spruce]

You can gift codes, not accounts.

If you got the game as a code gift it should not have been redeemed on someone else's account.

[mighty anvil]

Thats the same thing no?

[slim spruce]

Not at all.

One breaks the game's TOS.

[mighty anvil]

roommate made an eft account on the website, used credit card as the payment. whole separate account.

for a whole different person, that wouldnt do anything? its someone buy the game like everyone else?

[slim spruce]

You are using your friend's account?

[mighty anvil]

I have my main. He dont touch the game hasnt since day 1 he bought it.

[slim spruce]

But your friend created the account?

[mighty anvil]

Yes

[slim spruce]

Support can not change the email in this circumstance. You didn't create the account so it breaks TOS for you to be using it.

You will need to create your own account.

[mighty anvil]

So what allows he to refund than?

[slim spruce]

A forced refund will result in the account being banned and the payment info and card being banned from xsolla.

[mighty anvil]

Damn, I mean if he dont even play it. I guess its money back.

You have been more helpfull than what the support has been. Thank You.

[fading falcon]

I wish I could find out what caused my shit to bluescreen, it deleted so much off my pc 🥲

[mighty anvil]

Did you see the error code?

[fading falcon]

it was like stor port or something

These are the error I got when it BS

[small nebula]

Will battlestate be giving accounts to use for the upcoming streamer challenge? It states that after your 8 hours on one day, you will not be able to enter raids until the next day starts.

[graceful tendon]

new to the game, if i insure my bag and ditch it in raid do i get back the stuff in it or no..

[slim spruce]

only if the stuff in it is insured

[graceful tendon]

oh okay makes sense

thanks again

[slim spruce]

Prapor looks for the insurance for every single item.

[graceful tendon]

yeah i guess that would be a little broken

[brittle sandal]

Just tried to replay the game after buying it months later. Saying I can't uninstall or it cant be found

Any help?

[slim spruce]

What do you mean?

Got a screenshot?

[brittle sandal]

It just says Escape from tarkov 31.5 gb

But when I search in files it says nothing

[slim spruce]

You deleted the files without uninstalling it. It is not taking up that space.

To fix this you must either use the control panel uninstall tool and choose to delete the entry or install and uninstall to the same place it was.

[brittle sandal]

Im trying to play though and cant even install

[slim spruce]

What is the problem with installing?

[brittle sandal]

It says I do not own the game when I have bought it in the past

[slim spruce]

The most common cause of this is being on the wrong account, with the second cause being having redeemed a code that was illegally purchased by someone, and the third being a forced charge back somehow.

[quartz spear]

For the dsf flare does your whole team need one or just you?

[slim spruce]

only one is needed

[quartz spear]

Thank you!!

[slim spruce]

you can all extract when it's open

[quartz spear]

I’m talking about the poison one to make bosses friendly

[slim spruce]

Not sure about that

[vivid briar]

It just says that it makes Scavs and bosses friendly. So I assume it applies to all players.

[fading falcon]

Thank you for the help tonight Sess

[slim spruce]

Any time

[errant plume]

tarkov keeps caching ram notstop and never clearing it. manages to use up all 32 gb of ram i have tried installing and setiping up ISLC already did not help

(pc crashed 2 seconds after this pic)

tried to play like 10 times already tried changing ram xmp setting and speed not sure where to go from here

[elfin fulcrum]

any tips? im about to sell my build otherwise

[hollow girder]

my game takes forever to load and sometimes crashes after raids

does anyone else have this problem

im on low ping servers but it still takes like 10 mins, and last time i tried, i couldnt even load reserve, it would just say connection error

[minor ledge]

pc spec?

[delicate pelican]

I range from 100-140 fps on medium to high setting and when i full auto i drop to like 10 frames. Slow semi shots are good. All my drivers are updated and minimum graphics settings with no fix. Upgrades BIOS and no fix. Uninstalled and no fix. I played a few months ago and had no issues. Any fixes?

[hollow girder]

8th gen i5, nvidea 1050, think 16gs of ram

[minor ledge]

Game is on a HDD or SSD?

[hollow girder]

hg

hdd

[minor ledge]

That's probably the issue

[hollow girder]

dang

aight ill have to look into that

[minor ledge]

your build is not the issue, the game optimization is not the best yet, 60-100 fps is decent, you could get a bit better than that but it's pronbably not worth in my opinion

[elfin fulcrum]

thanks for getting back to me mate i was just worried i made a bad choice with parts

[minor ledge]

Nah you should get better fps in most games, problem with tarkov is it's very hard on CPU and ram

[vagrant latch]

Is using SPTarkov a big no no for your account? Or is it ok to use?

So, I shouldn't even bother? Should I just make sure I'm not connected to any servers?

Oh, thought this would be the place to ask. Nevermind I guess...

[snow urchin]

Should have bought 5800x3d

[vagrant latch]

@modest ice New question, how do I submit a ban appeal? Just a hypothetical.

[loud moss]

you contact battleye.

[vivid briar]

how do i make the cursor in tarkov larger

i had it bigger but i had to reinstall my game so i lost it

oh i remember now, cursor size has to be larger

[half lantern]

did anyone manage to make a razer synapse thingy to hold breath and aim at the same time? + be able to right click ?

[quiet summit]

Eh?

What do you mean be able to right click

[half lantern]

when I tried to make it I couldn't right click in game right click the items

[quiet summit]

Don't use macros, you don't need them

If you want ADS + Hold breath you can check out the keybinds pins in beginners

uhh

??binds

[acoustic sapphire]

Useful keybinds to have~! : #beginners-chat message

[half lantern]

yeah but I have ads on hold

not click that's why i'm trying to make a macro

[quiet summit]

Macros have potential to get you rekt

Would recommend against it.

[half lantern]

I've seen streamers using them

but on logitech sadly, razer doesn't have the same options

[quiet summit]

Just because streamers use them doesn't mean you can't get banned for it lol

[opal whale]

Anyone know why my character is sliding when sprinting even though i am not letting go of either W Key or Sprinting Shift Key. I have also changed the setting to "hold Sprint" rather than "toggle Sprint" when pressing shift key. I've noticed it happening to me alot in this wipe and cant seem to find the issue

I have not been touching S. My character sometimes will come to a complete Halt even though i have not let go of W or Shift. I thought it was my keyboard at first but I've tested this out in other FPS games and I do not have this issue but in tarkov

[delicate pelican]

I range from 100-140 fps on medium to high setting and when i full auto i drop to like 10 frames. Slow semi shots are good. All my drivers are updated and minimum graphics settings with no fix. Upgrades BIOS and no fix. Uninstalled and no fix. I played a few months ago and had no issues. Any fixes?

[loud moss]

what gpu. what specs. what was your last gpu.

[vagrant latch]

Well now I'm confused. What's the right call here. To use or not to use?

[slim cosmos]

is there a way to report tarkov cheater? ( other than the one after you die)

[obsidian bronze]

No

[slim cosmos]

then what i do with this cheater that is level 62 and who kept throwing grenades at me and shooting through doors ?

[molten parrot]

Let him kill you and report

[delicate pelican]

16 gb ram. Ryzen 6800 gpu and a 5800 cpu

Old gpu was a 2060

[slim spruce]

Well he's now banned for it.

Don't use it.

Also please don't mention it anymore.

[vagrant latch]

@slim spruce Oh shoot my bad. Just trying to figure it out so I don't do anything dumb.

[loud moss]

uninstall your radeon drivers with ddu. then nvidia, then reinstall radeon

[delicate pelican]

Ok I’ll try that tonight. Thank you.

[slim cosmos]

ya but i dont think that works because this dude reached level 62 and he is not banned yet

[south jackal]

is the Stirrup quest worth it

[vivid briar]

can someone help me

[slim spruce]

Depends on the problem

[vivid briar]

sound

i cant hear at all

[slim cosmos]

you can do it anytime if you completed it dont finish it (what i mean after getting the 3 pistol kills you know you have to press complete, dont press the complete and let it be there till you get higher level or rep with the trader )

[slim spruce]

Like hard to hear or you have no audio?

[vivid briar]

no audio

zero but i can hear in other games

[slim cosmos]

are you in raid?

[vivid briar]

nope

[slim cosmos]

then restart the game

[vivid briar]

how

i havent played in a year

[slim spruce]

If it was working in the past when the game is open right click the sound icon in the bottom right in windows and go to volume mixer and make sure tarkov is not at 0

[slim cosmos]

ye you took my thoughts xD

[vivid briar]

weird it dotn show tarkov

what do i do

[slim cosmos]

it does not show like this?

[slim spruce]

the game must be open and running

not just the launcher

[vivid briar]

ik

it is

[slim spruce]

When did it work last?

[vivid briar]

yesterday i hopped on just to do a scav

but it didnt work the first game

then i left the entire game then opend it again then it worked

[slim spruce]

Ok

[vivid briar]

WHAT DO I DO

[vivid briar]

I WANNA GAME AFTER SCHOOL MAN CMON

[delicate pelican]

I went from like 5 fps to about 20-40 from doing that. So it helped a little. I stop shooting and it goes back to 100-144 fps.

[nova crystal]

Can someone explain
Whu here is written that ping is 76, but in reality 200?>(

[minor ledge]

cause you didnt select it?

[nova crystal]

i DEselected due to high ping

[wheat venture]

So yesterday tarkov shut down my pc twice whilst loading into streets

I updated my drivers

before when it first happened

but I also get runtime errors and crashes on deployment

I'll re-read the guide sent before

A crashlog from 4 days ago somehow

I did increase the virtual memory to 15gb but that was the time when my scav load crashed

so I assumed it actually made the thing worse

[loud moss]

What are your specs and page file settings?

[wheat venture]

before

8664mb

now I put it to 15000mb

but then yesterday my pc still shutdown twice on deployment on streets

[loud moss]

I suggest you put it on 16000 initial 24000 maximum.then try.

[wheat venture]

aye

[wheat venture]

Is this also supposed to fix pc shutdowns?
I also crash, two days ago I crashed to a runtime error deploying on shoreline, losing my fucking kit

[loud moss]

We'll see.

[wheat venture]

ok done

[spiral mountain]

At what time does the streamer challenge apps open today?

[half lantern]

yo why's my game running better on higher settings than on low

[quiet summit]

Yes

[quiet summit]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/streamer-challenge

[spiral mountain]

I know it is today but at what time?

My apologies. Just saw it is open.

[quiet summit]

All good

Have fun

[upbeat hinge]

Is there any way to fix flea market cap being used even after you canceled the offer without restarting the game?

[quiet summit]

idts

[calm pike]

I have never seen the Icon before?
Is that something special?
edit: to clarify I mean the shaking hands before the name of the dude that killed me xd

[vivid briar]

They’re a Sherpa.

??sherpa

[acoustic sapphire]

Sherpas are players who help beginners study the main game features and improve their skills to survive the harsh Tarkov environment. This difficult and honorable task falls on the shoulders of the most friendly, patient, and, of course, experienced Tarkov citizens.

Sherpas are volunteers who dedicate their time not only by teaching others but also studying Tarkov themselves, adding to their knowledge of the game. Selfless aid to new players greatly contributes to the growth of the Escape from Tarkov community.
When teaching beginners, Sherpas rely on their preferences in the game: location, weapons, equipment, tactical moves, and their unique gaming experience.

??sherpahub
#sherpa-info

[calm pike]

Ohhh, that's a cool feature! 😄
Thanks

[vivid briar]

Anytime.

[earnest zinc]

how am i supposed to find extraction points?

[vivid briar]

Search up a map.

[earnest zinc]

arent maps buyable in game?

[vivid briar]

The maps on the Tarkov Wiki would be the most updated.

[vivid briar]

They aren’t nearly as useful.

And don’t label everything.

Also, there are only in game maps for certain maps.

[cyan pecan]

how do i report

[vivid briar]

Elaborate.

[cyan pecan]

FactorySweatTTV Tked me

i dont have the clip but i have a screenshot of the tag

[vivid briar]

To my knowledge you need video evidence along with Discord overlay with that.

[loud moss]

you send a video in modmail.

[cyan pecan]

aight great nvm then

[vernal delta]

yo a friend of mine got permanently banned in tarkov for no reason can someone look into it his name is: stew0793

[loud moss]

no go appeal to battleye

[vernal delta]

where?

[slim spruce]

Your friend must appeal to battleye but he's probably banned for cheating.

[vernal delta]

hes banned for his twitch overlay

[slim spruce]

Yeah ok

[vernal delta]

he streams and doesnt cheat bruh

[slim spruce]

[smoky spade]

I'm clicking on my tarkov launcher, it spins for a moment and then nothing happens, i've tried rebooting and i see no hung processes

[slim spruce]

The launcher doesn't open or the game?

[smoky spade]

the launcher

i'm deleting and re-installing

it's like windows is closing down the process within half a second

Will i have to relink my tarkov or will it find my install

[slim spruce]

relink I believe, but if the cache is still there maybe not

[smoky spade]

okay, so now after re-downloading it/installing, the login screen comes up, after i enter my info, nothing happens

no main window pops up

[slim spruce]

You press authorize and nothing happens?

[smoky spade]

Yeah

Should i delete all of tarkov, reboot, redownload and try again?

Never seen this before

[slim spruce]

The last guy I had do this had to reinstall windows because we found no solution. Try deleting the local and roaming app data for battlestate games in your user profile.

[smoky spade]

holy fuck, apparenly i had 15 gigs of crash logs

Okay i think i've purged everything related to tarkov/BSG, are there any other files/folders that hides in anywhere?

[slim spruce]

no

[smoky spade]

Well, time for a full reboot before reinstalling

What applications support the launcher. Is it a .net run application

[slim spruce]

.net 4.5 which is included in windows now (sfc /scannow for that) and c++ 2019 and newer.

You could uninstall all c++, reboot, and install the newest c++

that is for the launcher never opening

[smoky spade]

I have both of the up to date since i develop in unity

I just grabbed the c++ like a week ago. Weirdly it was working yesterday

[quiet summit]

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Battlestate Games\Escape from Tarkov
Doesn't blep when you uninstall

[smoky spade]

I deleted those

[quiet summit]

ogey

[smoky spade]

Thanks though

From both local, and roaming

Is tarkov normally 42 gigs?

Id like to quote south park "fucking windows 98!!! Get bill gates in here"

Uh oh, i think there is a deeper windows issue going on

Reboot just.... didn't work, the spinning dots just stopped spinning

Unsure if i should let resolve on own or forcibly reboot PC

[keen lake]

finally had some time and it happened and it just stays between 50-80%

[vivid briar]

Could be a Discord issue then? Does your game still run well when it happens?

[keen lake]

yea perfect

could be a discord issue maybe i should try re-installing discord

[smoky spade]

Okay. So im launching disk repairer from my bios

I think its time for a full backup to my external

Assuming i can ever launch again lmao

[fervent epoch]

Hey!
I've been playing for a while and upgraded my PC so I can have the average 60 FPS in game. My config is a RTX 3050, 16gb 3200mhz ram and ryzen 3 3100 (i know, not the best, but its not bad either) The game is most of the times smooth, but in every game, randomly my game freezes for like 2-3 secs. Most of the times just in random situations, not in actual fights. Can someone help me with this issue?

[quiet summit]

Have you tried increasing your pagefile size for your ram?

[vivid briar]

Is there any info when can we play arena?

[slim spruce]

no

[quiet summit]

??arena

[acoustic sapphire]

Closed Beta Testing for Tarkov Arena is slated to begin Q4 of 2023.

EOD Players get a copy of the game for free! - Claim & Pre-order your copy at https://arena.tarkov.com/

[fervent epoch]

It made it worse tbh

[quiet summit]

That's not a thing lol

You probably had more/different things running in the background

[slim spruce]

if you put page file on a mechanical drive maybe

[quiet summit]

Oh, maybe

[fervent epoch]

Im not sure if i know how to do that xd

[slim spruce]

Try adding 16000MB minimum and 25000MB maximum page file to an SSD as shown here and reboot:
https://mcci.com/support/guides/how-to-change-the-windows-pagefile-size/

[fervent epoch]

I saw this thing in a video, tried it and things seemed like more laggy and slow, idk why

[mortal tree]

"every game" do you mean other games and just not tarkov, or every raid in tarkov?

[quiet summit]

Did you set the value on an SSD?

[fervent epoch]

I mean every raid in tarkov. Played other games like cyberpunk with high settings and it wasnt an issue

[mortal tree]

does your ping spike when your game stutters happen?

most likely your cpu vram capping out and not an actual game issue

[fervent epoch]

I only could do it on C (windows installed there) isnt that a bad idea?

[quiet summit]

Well, it depends if it's an SSD

[mortal tree]

ohhh

[slim spruce]

make sure it's disabled on other drives

[mortal tree]

well theres your problem, if the game isnt installed on an ssd thats 100% your problem

[fervent epoch]

It shows the packet loss indicator, but the ping is fine always.

[quiet summit]

Is the pagefile on an SSD or HDD

[fervent epoch]

Its on a 7200rpm hdd

[quiet summit]

Well, there's the issue

Do you have another SSD?

[fervent epoch]

Not rly 😦

Only a 256 gb one with windows

[quiet summit]

Out of luck then

[mortal tree]

you need to put the game on an SSD

[quiet summit]

You're limited by your hardware

[mortal tree]

^

[fervent epoch]

Is SSD that big of a deal in eft? Like other games (cyberpunk, rdr2, gta5, f1 22) are fine with the hdd

[mortal tree]

its almost every game nowadays

[quiet summit]

You were talking about your pagefile that you did on your HDD

Just set it to automatic

Think of an SSD like a word document on your computer - You can delete and type new words in the document as many times as you want, doesn't wear down the program. Easy to find, can just search the name of the document

A book and pencil is an HDD - Harder to find compared to a word doc, if you write and erase too many times, the pages become ruined and worn. Hard to find, on a bookshelf. Using a pagefile is writing and erasing constantly

[fervent epoch]

Well, it was turned off on the HDD, is that a big deal? xd

[quiet summit]

That's fine, but lack of Ram is the issue of why you're stuttering

HDD affects your loading times heavily in Tarkov

[mortal tree]

in a nutshell SSDs in general have a significant difference in processing files compared to HDDs, and an example of that is what you are facing with the stuttering.

[fervent epoch]

Yea, but i wasnt bothered with it, since every map is fine except streets and i dont rly like that one xd

So if i'd buy an M2 SSD it would be fine and it should solve the issue?

[mortal tree]

make sure your power supply has enough extra power to power the ssd, and its compatible with your pc

[quiet summit]

Tarkov is still ram hungry, it would probably help a lot,but can't be certain with 16 at 3200

[fervent epoch]

Well, the recommended is 550w and mine is 500w, is that a big deal?

[fervent epoch]

I'm using this ramcleaner thingy, i've been told it helps

[quiet summit]

It does

[mortal tree]

well for gpus and cpus yes, for harddrive im unsure but i would assume yes it would be a problem

[quiet summit]

Skimming off the top of a full bucket though only can do so much

[mortal tree]

yes project lasso is great

[mortal tree]

what gpu/cpu/powersupply do you have?

recommened is sometimes inaccurate and doesnt always need that much power

its a high estimate so people dont buy too powerful of a part

[pliant bobcat]

my scav is so op

[fervent epoch]

I'm gonna need a bit time, because I got this PC as a gift from my friend, so I have to find out what kind of PSU is inside

[quiet summit]

Tear your enemies flesh off their bone.

[pliant bobcat]

he look so dangerous

[fervent epoch]

Chieftech GPA-500S, MSI RTX 3050, Ryzen 3 3100

[loud moss]

sounds like your ram and cpu to me.

[fervent epoch]

I know its not easy to tell what is the issue, but sadly because of my health conditions rn i have no source of income and only a limited amount of money. So i wanna try and find out the issue and spend my money on solving that instead of just trying to replace random things hoping it helps.

[dawn plaza]

i would defo invest in a cpu

[mortal tree]

so your core components are fine

these are medium range parts, which is more than enough

from what im seeing its definitely just the game being installed on an HDD and not an SSD

[loud moss]

he has the game on a hdd?

[fervent epoch]

Playing in high graph settings are not a big deal for me, so im fine playing in a bit lower image quality

[mortal tree]

yes sir

[loud moss]

right

so get a ssd for your system and games. get another 16 gb ram whenever possible. then look at a cpu upgrade.

[mortal tree]

you can test it out, it might fix it as there is less to process however it also might not

[loud moss]

thats not going to fix their stutters

[mortal tree]

how much ram do you have?

[loud moss]

if anything playing in high graphics settings is going to be poorer with a 3050.

that card can struggle on 1080p

[fervent epoch]

16gb 3200mhz

I'll show you my setting in a sec

Its not set for too much

While i'll quickly start the game, getting something like this should be fine, right? https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-MZ-V8V1T0B-AM-980-SSD/dp/B08V83JZH4?th=1

[mortal tree]

this is fine

anything more than 16gb of ram is unnecessary in most cases

[loud moss]

yes. it'll be fine.

[loud moss]

that is quite a stretch when talking about 16gb, especially in this situation

[mortal tree]

yeah looks good

not really

its all about the vram, which in his case is fine

[loud moss]

no, no its not.

[quiet summit]

It's, It's not.

[loud moss]

his hdd is causing issues

[mortal tree]

yes not the ram haha

[loud moss]

16gb of ram will not constantly be smooth either

[fervent epoch]

Well, i did my best to upgrade to the best matching parts possible in the range of money i could use. I had to buy a new GPU, motherboard, ram and CPU at the same time.

[mortal tree]

yeah man your gpu and cpu are fine for sure

its the SSD. 16gb of ram is the perfect amount

[loud moss]

right well get yourself the nvme, grab another 2x8 kit if you want to fully eliminate stutters, then look at a cpu swap. in that order

[fervent epoch]

These are my settings. Set on kinda low

[loud moss]

looks about right.

[mortal tree]

similar if not the same as mine

[loud moss]

i wouldnt turn anything up much higher than overall visibility up a notch, lod up a notch, and hbao max perf

[mortal tree]

something you can explore too is overclocking atleast your cpu since your having processing issues

[fervent epoch]

wouldnt those take away some performance? I wanna have as much FPS as i can, since my config is not the best ofc

[fervent epoch]

Im a bit afraid since i dont wanna ruin the cpu, since ive never done overclocking

[loud moss]

you're going to have very little to no performance impact with those increases.

your gpu isnt ideal but it can still handle some increases.

[mortal tree]

its very safe, you just have to test it out and what value is best for you

100% put some research into it, but its estimated 20-40% of your pc isnt being used at all

[fervent epoch]

😐

I'll look into it

[loud moss]

where are you pulling these numbers from?

[mortal tree]

https://www.youtube.com/@Panjno

hes great for everything tech/optimization related

[mortal tree]

various videos ive watched ab overclocking

[loud moss]

uhhh

you've watched some strange overclocking videos

[mortal tree]

then whats your numbers

im curious, because it matched up for me when i overclocked

[loud moss]

I don't pull silly numbers about overclocking performance which will be varied.

all i can suggest to you is be a bit more precise with your advice

[mortal tree]

its 20-40% is what ive been told

[loud moss]

im not gonna argue with you

[mortal tree]

im not trying to argue sir

im genuinely curious what your answer is

[loud moss]

ive given my answer

[mortal tree]

you actually have not

[loud moss]

having this conversation with you is pointless, im not interested in leaning to what you're trying to show here

[fervent epoch]

Even its 20% or less, thanks for the answers and the help guys, i'll try getting that SSD and if its not enough i'll look into the overclocking as well. I wanna ofc upgrade my pc when i can, but its kinda expensive so sadly i cant buy a new CPU rn. When the not so new ones get a bit cheaper i'll buy something better. Im fine with minimal graphs unless the game looks ugly that way. xd

[mortal tree]

for sure man and make sure to do your own research, in my opinion its very likely solely the HDD, and lack of an SSD. I play on a very similar pc build as yours and my game runs fine with higher settings

[mortal tree]

im being deadass sir, i genuinely wish to know what your answer is.

I could very well be incorrect, however the source of which I pulled those numbers is reputable and for me personally I haven't seen him be incorrect.

[loud moss]

refer to my previous answer.

[fervent epoch]

I love looking into things so i'll do it. I just didnt do it yet because i had no reason to do so. Before i do something i read articles and watch videos for at least an hour.

[mortal tree]

thats very smart and wise! you should almost never go with what others tell to you, and should always do your own research.

and plus, doing your own research is very healthy for one's self

[mortal tree]

can you please point it out? i do not see it.

[fervent epoch]

I'm just autistic and I can't bear not to look before I act xd

but thanks

[mortal tree]

of course man, i wish you luck with your pc and with your health!

[undone lotus]

can anyone help? just bought a laptop to pay eft and been traveling for work, I logged in and played just fine at home the other day and now i am traveling and am on an unsecured wifi and it is blocking me on the website and the login screen for eft game launcher. need help please!

[mortal tree]

wifi

unsecured wifi is your problem

[undone lotus]

so even if i use a vpn it will still block me? I mean it is secure in the sense as it has a password

[slim spruce]

403 forbidden?

What messages?

[undone lotus]

got in, thank you for the help! VPN Worked fine

[slim spruce]

@minor bobcat try another browser, and hide personal info please

[minor bobcat]

its on the game itself 😒

[slim spruce]

Are you on a vpn?

[minor bobcat]

nah

[smoky spade]

Well looks like my whole PC is cooked

Windows repair ran, now it wont boot

Sort of not impressed

[calm mural]

launcher is stuck on "repairing the game (calculating time...)"

can anyone help?

[slim spruce]

gotta be patient

[pallid socket]

what the hell this mean?

[slim spruce]

some quests have a delay for you to start them so you can't complete so many so quickly

mainly the gunsmith quest line does this

the wiki has the delay time you must wait

[rough lantern]

how do you fix this? it wont let me install the game.

[slim spruce]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/453

The cause is a corrupted windows install or the drive is corrupt.

This shows how to fix.

It can also be permissions on the folder too.

[rough lantern]

ok, Thanks. Although, i installed it at my brothers house just fine no problems but when i got home i had the same issue again. dum...

[acoustic turtle]

any way to save my preset without having to buy the parts i dont need on the gun? im talking abt the stock and the grip

[vivid briar]

For some reason it does that when you try to buy a preset without buying the gun itself.

Just buy the gun first, then try. It should stop trying to buy the parts that are already on the weapon.

[copper cipher]

failed the quest by killing a PMC before meeting the lightkeeper, how to I start the quest chain to restart it?

[subtle inlet]

anyone know how to fix the severe shadow flickering? ive tried all the settings i can think of
all other textures etc are golden its just shadows

[slim spruce]

@lost vortex English please and don't necro 2 year old posts

[thorn pollen]

me and my buddy game crashing on street after awaiting session start. Happend after update

[arctic agate]

Has audio been more cooked then usual since updated
on reserve mainly
hearing shots from across the map next to my ear

[sinful sigil]

an other bug i need discover my bag at the end of my scav

[vivid briar]

Report bugs through the game launcher.

[sinful sigil]

so long for nothing very interesting

[pearl surge]

does Cultist shoot 6rep scav?

[vivid briar]

Cultists are to my knowledge, an entire different faction than Scavs, so I think they will still kill you.

Killing them doesn’t reduce karma, and wiki says nothing about them being friendly to anybody.

[small gyro]

Happening to me as well. Scav or PMC for you?

[vivid briar]

Somebody else said the same thing.

On Reserve specifically as well.

[slate wagon]

@slim spruce, can we get a new LD link?

[slim spruce]

If you have problems downloading/installing the update/game :

We suggest the following workaround. It will allow you to install without using the launcher directly.
Game download link : http://cdn-11.eft-store.com/eft/client/live/distribs/0.13.9.0.26835_98c2edff-d470-427c-b23c-ad823872107c/Client.0.13.9.0.26835.zip

Once downloaded, please extract it where you want the game to be installed, for example : D:\Games\EFT\EscapeFromTarkov.exe

After that, in the launcher you can specify the path to the directory with the game, in this example you will need to specify the directory D:\Games\EFT.

Using this method, you will have installed the game manually.
If you have any problems doing so, or any question, please open a request in the launcher - bug report section.
While moderators can assist, they do not have all the tools and knowledge to do it in the best of ways here on discord.

[slim spruce]

ok

[slate wagon]

Thanks

[smoky spade]

@slim spruce So yesterday to follow up with my problem, once i deleted the tarkov folders and rebooted my computer never turned back on, went through auto repair and nothing worked, so i ripped out my drives and i can plug and play my primary drive on my other computer, would you recommend just F/R at this point?

[slim spruce]

If you back up your data somehow yeah I'd reinstall

[smoky spade]

Was thinking at this point i just have to back my stuff up and nuke whole drive

[slim spruce]

You could try the recovery environment

[smoky spade]

It won't launch into it

like the recovery environment is also booked, as well as safe mode

[slim spruce]

gotta reformat

[smoky spade]

and CHKDSK said it was fine

but like... it's not

yet, it plug and plays fine

so that suggests drive is fine, but windows is cooked right?

[slim spruce]

sounds like it, if the boot order is correct

[smoky spade]

cause i'mma just Copy and paste entire drive onto my external (it's 250 gig solid state) and then just nuke whole thing

once it's gone i can set boot order to flash, and re-install from flash i figure

i can't even get into my bios, my computer jumps past it too fast

but if i mash on all they keys, and fail start it once it runs past, i can get it to go to the "recovery screen"

but nothing in there is useful, i literally tried all the options

but i can't use the cmd prompt to reboot into bios

since it's not on shutdown won't run

[smoky spade]

How'd you get so good at computer repair? was it helping all of the people along the way, or are you trained with computers, because you seem to have some really deep understanding

[slim spruce]

Trial and error

[loud moss]

whats the issue

[vivid briar]

I was thinking the same thing.

[smoky spade]

Deleted some files because tarkov wasn't launching, so i deleted tarkov, and all the local, went to reboot, windows never turned back on, recoverey didn't work, advanced reboot didn't work, windows advanced recovery didn't work, CHKDKS didnt work, but plug and play when i connect the drive to another computer does work, conclusion, windows is borked

[loud moss]

yeah sounds like your operating system is having a stroke, same conclusion then best to reinstall

[smoky spade]

i'm just taking the worlds longest backup

Not thrilled

[loud moss]

i would usually suggest you format all of your drives if you have multiple because you can have compatibility and file detection issues on things like steam not finding games on a new download despite already having games on another drive

[smoky spade]

Actually, @slim spruce what does it look like when you ram dies and you try to boot a PC? i never tested ram

[loud moss]

less than ideal lol

[slim spruce]

when ram dies it doesn't show up in the bios and you can't get to bios

[smoky spade]

but would it bypass bios and still attempt to boot windows, or just fail post outright

[slim spruce]

you need ram to post

[loud moss]

fail

if it did boot chances are a particular stick is having issues, which you'd see in task manager and bios with not being recognised in the slot

[slim spruce]

If you are not posting, unplug and hold power button to drain, try again. Then clear cmos.

[smoky spade]

no no it posts

well, i mean not now, i ripped my GPU out and my drives out

cause i needed spare sata cable that was behind my gpu

so i could hook drive into this computer to test if drive was dead (the one with windows on it)

it was plug and play just fine, so i'm taking full backup, but it cant move some files over due to corruption in the files (Windows files)

so i have even more evidence now that windows was cooked, there have been 2 corruptions in what appear to be reg files, and 1 Stack heap in a memory connection bit in windows

based off the names of the files that threw errors

[loud moss]

[smoky spade]

Oh sweet, the time accelerated from 45 minutes

[dreamy shard]

Hey,
I'm looking for help.
I got no sounds while runing EFT.
All my sound works except Tarkov, i tried lot of things at least the problem is that tarkov is not showing up in my windows audiosettings.
Any ideas

[loud moss]

crosshair overlays are not allowed.

[novel star]

Ok thanks!

[rough totem]

I just installed a new cpu and once I hooked everything back up, that computer will turn on and then it’ll cut off. I’ve done some research and maybe I didn’t put the cooler all the way in? I’m new to computers so I’m kinda unsure what’s wrong now.

[loud moss]

dm me your parts i'll try to help with it

[rough totem]

Did

[mental harbor]

Whats up with EU servers? Yesterday I had 2 raids like this and today again. I get thrown out of the game bc of high ping. I've already set servers to Auto in hopes it doesn't happen again, but it still does. Any recommendation which EU region to avoid to not have high ping and high packetloss when playing from Germany?

[slim spruce]

You may need to use a VPN if this problem is caused by your ISP.

Also, submit a bug report in the launcher please.

[mental harbor]

ok, will do

but most raids are fine

so I don't think its caused by my ISP

[smoky spade]

So im confused as all get out. I back up my drive and then i formatted it (NTFS) and its empty and says i can use it, i plugged it back into broken PC and it cant find the drive during windows install

And ive tried two different sata plug in locations, so im confused

[slim spruce]

erase all the partitions

if you can't find it in the windows installer to erase the partitions it may not be connected

[smoky spade]

Do i have to make a partition first? I thought formatting the drive would be enough

[graceful tendon]

anybody else keep crashing after new update

i cant even get back into raid cuz i crash every time i try to load into it, same with my friend

[rough lantern]

need help with this error. have tried tarkovs support forum and the steps did not work. what else can i do?

[slim spruce]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/support/knowledge/453

[rough lantern]

I’ve done all of that already. It is still happening

About how long does it take for them to respond to a ticket and where do they respond to it?

[slim spruce]

Did you run dskchk?

The causes for this problem are either wrong permissions on the folders, corrupt windows or corrupt disk.

[halcyon goblet]

Is anybody else getting softlocked when you try to load up a scav? I've had to restart my pc twice now because the game softlocks about 2 minutes into loading. My computer is still responsive and I can open other applications. But the game just freezes and doesn't give me any kind of "Escape From Tarkov has stopped responding" message

[rough lantern]

yes i did. I just recently took my computer to a computer repair and they reinstalled windows. and i set all of the permisasions to tarkov. im not sute what else to do other trhen maybe buy it agian or something.

the install worked just fine at my brothers house too. no errors and i even played with it for a while. no errors but at my house it does this. i know that dont have anything to do with it but i think its a little weird.

[slim spruce]

You don't need to buy again. Did sfc /scannow find windows errors?

[rough lantern]

didnt find any errors

[slim spruce]

If you can't solve this problem with the tips on the help page you will need to manually install the game from the link in the pins here each update.

[rough lantern]

what do you mean?

[slim spruce]

In the pins of this channel there is a zip file download that you will need to download and unzip to the game folder location and use the launcher to set that folder as the install folder.

[rough lantern]

ok,

[slim spruce]

that will allow you to play but with the next update you must do this again

[rough lantern]

would i launch the game through the launcher than?

[slim spruce]

Yes

[rough lantern]

and will the error go away after the first time or is this forever than?

just for the updates

[slim spruce]

Only after each time you do this

[rough lantern]

ok

[slim spruce]

Each update you will need to redownload the whole game like this

Unless you fix that problem with checksum

[rough lantern]

thats not terrible i guess...'

[smoky spade]

I can't get into my bios it just skips passed to try to launch into my drives, i've tried a million times

if i could get into bios, i could change boot order and re-install windows and be fine, but i'm locked out of getting into bios, so i'm unsure of how to proceed

[raw salmon]

Another update, another chunky pack of bugs...

🤡

Rogues clipping thru doors like ghosts (maybe its halloween sh*t), shadows and textures of terrain not rendering in specific places so you can even see guys thru ground on Lighthouse...

And of course (insanely annoying glitch with frozen rogues, on hmg or grenade launcher, u can shot that frozen guy in head, body, nothing happens but when you get closer he triggers after some secs... BSG, please, stop saying you are working to resolve all glitches, when u need to stop the game for 4 or more hours to get a hotfix and game is running even worse than before...

[hasty karma]

dunno if its this new patch or something, but i seem to have found a consistent freeze when trying to load in as a scav on shoreline, dunno which spawn as it freezes before it lets me in

[stiff pumice]

Seems like a larger problem. Seen many reports about problems with loading screen crashes while trying to get in raid with scav.

And it started after this patch

[halcyon goblet]

I've had the same problem trying to scav on Customs

[stiff pumice]

Yeah and my cousin has the same problem atleast with factory and woods.

[hasty karma]

maybe its an item that your scav spawns in with then, like a gun missing parts so your character couldnt hold it properly or something like that

and not a location specific thing

[halcyon goblet]

Idk, because it isn't even a crash. It just soft locks up

[hoary shale]

3 raids in a row i'm doing a dance routine

[ornate matrix]

You can shift click restart on windows to choose a device from which to boot from i belive

[hoary shale]

any tips?

[smoky spade]

My windows won't launch so i can't use shutdown /f /rw to get into bios either

[ornate matrix]

what motherboard do u have?

[raw salmon]

Epic game... trash only

Omg, never came out of beta...

[quiet summit]

Gotta alt+F4 in a bush and reconnect

Happens on an unstable connection I believe

[hoary shale]

Movement doesn't work in that state

I was on EU so maybe that

[raw salmon]

It's FINE, nothing bad after hotfix XD 🤡 😂

[H O T F I X]

[slender acorn]

my game keeps crashing after the update

[karmic isle]

uhm, why this fee is so high?

since others are putting the pumpkin up for sale

🤨

878 665 fee

[quartz dome]

They don't want you selling them

Anyone else that lists them did it without reading the fee (they cant read)

[karmic isle]

woops

[glossy ermine]

why can't i repair the IOTV Gen 4 if it's fully broken with rubles on traders?

do i need an armor repair kit to repair it or it's done-done

[rustic bridge]

I am also getting softlocks when loading in as a scav since the patch. Any fix ideas?

[leaden basalt]

Afaik you can fix that by dragging the up looking arrow on the bottom right of the durability bar back and forth.

[glossy ermine]

naw bro it didn't work sorry

sold it cuz i wasn't going to blow 700k on an armor repair kit to repair a lvl 5 tank armor lol

it's just too non cost-effective for it to be even worth it at that stage

[leaden basalt]

I mean.. armour repair kits are worth it either way. If you ever feel like doing the math, you're sparing yourself a lot of repair money with it.

[glossy ermine]

true

[leaden basalt]

And if you don't want to buy it, you can always just check the spawns on customs especially.

Map is littered with them

[glossy ermine]

true like that one skeleton building closest to crack or ruaf idk

[leaden basalt]

Yeah.

[glossy ermine]

thx for the tip btw

[leaden basalt]

https://escapefromtarkov.fandom.com/wiki/Body_armor_repair_kit

If you scroll down, it lists all the spawns.

[glossy ermine]

jeez so many in customs lmao

[wet pebble]

anyone know how to fix anticheat everytime i try to play shoreline i cant seem to load in the map but i can load to any other map with no problem

[slim spruce]

What error?

[wet pebble]

anticheat error

[slim spruce]

Which one?

[wet pebble]

my fault i tried to load in again to find out but it acually loaded me in but im super lagy

ima try to find out again

[slim spruce]

If it's anticheat connection lost and this doesn't happen on smaller maps, this usually means your internet connection or your pc can't handle the game.

[wet pebble]

bet that helps thank you

[radiant drift]

hello im new to the game and i was wondering if there is a reason why when i try to install on the launcher it does nothing i cant figure out how to get it to the point where i can play

[slim spruce]

Does it say "preorder"?

[radiant drift]

yes

[slim spruce]

You do not own the game on that account you're on.

[radiant drift]

so how do i get the game?

[slim spruce]

You must buy it on the website https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/preorder-page and you get access to play the beta now.

[radiant drift]

yep thats where i went i purchased the edge of darkness edition

[slim spruce]

If the launcher still says preorder please log out and in.

[radiant drift]

this is the page im stuck on

[slim spruce]

You must install the game with the install button.

[radiant drift]

thats why i asked would there be a reason why it wont install i have tried several times lol

[slim spruce]

What happens?

Do you choose a place and it just goes back to saying install?

[radiant drift]

then i have tried both allow automatic game client updates both on and off then clicked install then nothing happens

[slim spruce]

Does it show 0/0 or just back to the first picture?

[radiant drift]

just back to the first

[slim spruce]

Try choosing C:\program files (x86)\EFT (make that folder)

Usually this is a permissions issue with the launcher.

[keen knoll]

is the game on sale on black friday?

[slim spruce]

Probably due to previous years.

!sales

$sales

$$sales

[keen knoll]

lol
