[willow sun]

where we post bug in game ?

[slim spruce]

in the launcher bug report

[willow sun]

ok thanks you, For those who want to know, there's a bug when the server starts its maintenance. Your equipment stays with you, no matter what happens, I believe. I was in a game where I had killed two players and I didn't manage to escape due to the time limit. And well, I still have the equipment of the 2 players on me as if I had managed to escape... lel ( cant send bug report at the moment, he disable)

[tepid cape]

i get a 504 gateway timeout when trying to download the launcher from the link above or the website

i have already spoken to support and they are aware of the issue , i just didnt know if i was the only one

[wild willow]

You dont' need to extract

Those are fun raids

[dim venture]

??event

[acoustic sapphire]

Snow has returned, & a Bonfire lighting event. See here for more details. Be aware : Most maps are affected #eft-chat message

[wild willow]

Clear cache/verify integrity didn't work either

Is it a new part of the task or is that an old bug?

[slim spruce]

submit a bug report in the launcher

[wild willow]

Can I ask if you've ever seen that before?

[slim spruce]

no

[slim spruce]

Known problem, please use a VPN or proxy in the mean time.

[tiny grove]

[tiny grove]

same problem here

[slim spruce]

see above

[livid kestrel]

[slim spruce]

any

[crude talon]

Buddy and I are getting "Server connection lost" when trying to load in. Can't even reconnect, get the same error

[tiny grove]

well now i cant access the page.

[dense seal]

i have the same issue

can anybody help?

[young pecan]

Issue persists, nothing changed, allowed all 3 through firewall

truly a brain scratcher

[slim spruce]

Something is blocking network traffic of the game and/or _be exe

[broken solstice]

Did everyones fps tank since the update?

[simple ledge]

hello @everyone

[wispy moon]

yessir it did and extremely noticeable for me, although it restabilizes after a minute or two for me. Although it is less prevalent on certain maps. Streets is a bad one, but Factory is amazing for frames. Typically how it goes thought

[nova crystal]

Is it possible that cheaters can DDOS all active players? Cause i started having lagging issues and my internet died. When i was disconnected, my internet is ok... but i cant reconnect

[slim spruce]

You can't get IPs through the game.

[broken solstice]

What cheaters can do is lag everyone. Not DDoS tho.

[abstract steeple]

When ever i go into raid with my friend being the party leader it shows a screen where i can insure all of my stuff in one go, but when i go in solo or with my other friend as the party leader it doesnt show this

[trail tartan]

when i try to install the launcher i get a 504 error

does anyone know how to fix this

[slim spruce]

Try another DNS like google's 8.8.8.8 and secondary 8.8.4.4

[trail tartan]

wdym?

[slim spruce]

google it

[violet kelp]

buddy of mine is having the same issue. and changing the dns did not work

[trail tartan]

yea didnt work

[violet kelp]

Actually scratch that he’s getting a message saying his ip is blocked. He emailed support

[trail tartan]

i love spening 150$ on a game to not be able to play it

[slim spruce]

try a VPN or proxy while this problem is fixed

[slim spruce]

@sullen rain use #discord-mod-mail

[viscid turret]

Im pretty new to the whole PC gaming thing. If I was to post what specs my PC is, can someone help me with my graphic settings?

I want it to run nicely but still look good.

[vivid briar]

yes

feel free to comment your specs

[viscid turret]

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor 3.40 GHz | 32GB Ram | RTX 3060

[viscid turret]

Thanks for having a look for me 🙂

[vivid briar]

id say to run your settings at medium if possible

try this if you want

if it lags a little lmk

[viscid turret]

Will do ty 🙂

[blazing whale]

doesnt work bro

i tryed it like u said i turned on vpn tryed to download and got blockjed fro tarkov website turned off vpn then i could view website again

[daring goblet]

Been having weird stutters for the past few days, even in the stash/hideout, anyone know a fix? changed nvidia control panel settings, in game settings, cleared cache and logs, fresh installing drivers, and more but still no fix. thanks.

[spiral solar]

anyone know what the usual response time is for support tickets?

[obtuse dune]

Anyone know the length for the event

[blazing whale]

i have this downloaded then what?

[slim spruce]

extract the zip file to a folder where you want the game installed to

[blazing whale]

i did that now when i go to that folder

i hit eft right? it loads the game

then just says invalid url

[slim spruce]

What?

[blazing whale]

so downloading that just makes the game there in a folder right?

it loads up then just invalid url and closes tarkov down

[slim spruce]

show the error

[blazing whale]

aight ill do it after my cod match

[blazing whale]

is this supposed to be a launcher download?

[slim spruce]

You are not using the launcher to start the game.

[blazing whale]

yeah i cant download the launcher

i downloaded the first thing u had in that pinned text

[slim spruce]

That is for if the launcher can't download it

You absolutely need the launcher though.

[blazing whale]

well how am i supposed to do that now ?

[slim spruce]

Use a VPN to another region to download the launcher or wait for a fix on the website.

[verbal scarab]

any idea when they will fix the website to allow us to install the launcher?

[slim spruce]

Hopefully soon.

[blazing whale]

ive tryed a vpn g

just blocks me from tarkov website

[slim spruce]

Bad vpn then.

[blazing whale]

so im supposed to pay for a vpn?

lmao this game

[verbal scarab]

its unfortunate was really looking to get some looting done tonight guess its a dayz night again

[blazing whale]

so what thats it then? i have to pay more money to play this game?

[slim spruce]

Please wait for the website to be fixed.

[blazing whale]

how long has it been tho bro lmao

its been days n theyve made events n sht before fixing a bug

[wet walrus]

Anyone have any clue what's making my game choppy like this? It didnt used to be like this. Also I know the event is making it worse but it's not just the event.
https://outplayed.tv/media/2Eozjx

[slim spruce]

amd graphics card?

[viscid turret]

Thats heaps better! My next issue is that the menu and load screen look normal but in raid everything looks a little squished. EDIT: It was my screen ratio and ive fixed it 🙂

[wet walrus]

Nvidia

[slim spruce]

reinstall the GPU driver in the custom install option with "clean installation" checked and reboot

[wet walrus]

is that in tarkov or where?

[slim spruce]

nvidia driver

[vivid briar]

yes haha i prefer 4:3 to 16:9

[tired coral]

Hello im thinking about getting Tarkov could anyone plz tell me if my specs could run it decently at least NVIDIA GTX 1070m=, 16GB ram,Intel core i5-6400

i have no idea about pc specs btw

[slim spruce]

Run it perhaps. It would be probably 60-80 FPS at a glance.

1070M mobile?

[tired coral]

didnt mean to put the M at the end

[tired coral]

would that be playable?

or would i notice issues frequently

[slim spruce]

1070 is not weak. The cpu may be your problem.

[tired coral]

is there a way to refund it if it dosent work well?

[slim spruce]

No

[tired coral]

if you had my specs would you get it or would you wait

[slim spruce]

I'd get a better CPU if possible.

[viscid turret]

Ive gone 21:9

[hallow portal]

I just got Tarkov and I hit the download button for the launcher but it brings me to the 504 Gateway Time-out screen. I checked if the servers are up and they are. I got the standard edition and this is for downloading the launcher, not the game also any link that would bring me to the download for the launcher puts me on the screen.

[slim spruce]

There is a known problem with the website. Please wait for it to be fixed or try a VPN to get around the problem.

[hallow portal]

ok, thank you

[placid mulch]

Is there a way to set presets and have it not place brand new stuff every load? Like if I save a preset and load preset it'll be stuff that is brand new

[sly cloud]

I used to get 80 fps on customs and after launcher update / game update i get 25 any suggestions

[noble surge]

damn fps sure dropped
seems we need another DLC

[broken solstice]

I cant get out of this infinite animation looping. The weapon doesnt finish reloading nothing is happening

Cant discard any of my items aswell

Can't heal, cant pull out nades, cant unlock doors to try to break the animation

[mental radish]

I keep on getting a 504 error when trying to download launcher via the website
Any fixes?

[slim spruce]

Please wait for it to be fixed or try a VPN to get around the problem.

[daring goblet]

Stutters every ~20 seconds. Fresh installed drivers, changed nvidia settings, changed in game settings, cleared cache and logs but still no fix. Any solutions? Thanks.

[slim spruce]

You have 16GB ram?

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

every few weeks i get invalid uri error and i have to resintall the game again and again bruh. how to fix this lmao ? literally last night it said it needed to reinstall and now it keeps giving me that error again

[muted palm]

any idea on whats making this happen when i buy items

tried restarting

[odd dagger]

servers dead?

[hollow cedar]

Currently on a full AMD machine, whenever I try to launch tarkov, the game freezes and I get this in the error logs "NVIDIA Reflex not available on this machine, Status: NvReflex_LIBRARY_NOT_FOUND."
Anyone know a fix to this?

[odd dagger]

delete all nvidia drivers

[hollow cedar]

Im on a fresh purely AMD machine. I do not have a single NVidia driver installed. I just checked my files too and there arent any

[robust spire]

Anone else getting terrible fps in shoreline, now after snow and shit returned? Scope = 30fps..

Not sure what to do to improve it, 30's make it hard to aim...

@hollow cedarTurn off reflex in game, remove potential leftovers from nvidida sotftware

[hollow cedar]

I am unable to launch the game unfortunately, is there anyway I can change my settings through the file explorer?

[robust spire]

Removed any trace of nvidida software?

@hollow cedar You could look for local setings file, see if it is on via notepad or similar. Edit it from true to false, if it =True

0 is probalby correct value, or false. Idk

File is in documents, escape from tarkov. File is named "local" If that doesnt work, idk what's up

[hollow cedar]

Yup, couldnt find any

[hollow cedar]

Do you have the filepath? in the meantime, Ill just search for it

[robust spire]

document folder/escape from tarkov

[old quarry]

i cant buy anything even though i have enough money, bruh

Yeah but like, where next lol

For anyone that happens to have the same question as me, its in appdata

[hollow cedar]

Its already set to false.... hmmm

[cedar sand]

Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to completely remove any trace of Nvidia drivers from your system. You must select the Nvidia options in the options when running it and then reboot your system. https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/

They are not files that you can access easily through windows file explorer

[hollow cedar]

Rad, I appreciate it

[safe fern]

So, I was doing "the guide" got about half way through the task and tried to load into a woods raid and was instantly disconnecting and now it lets me hopelessly try to reconnect but boots me every time. So do I just get shafted and have to start over or is there someone I can contact to try and resolve this issue?

[hollow cedar]

Looks like it worked, I'm loading profile data now

[quiet summit]

Bite the bullet and try again, no one can help you

Double check those accepted servers is all I can suggest to you

[safe fern]

Alright, Thanks! Thanks BSG!

[hollow cedar]

Nvm, its still struggling

Idk, this is a new computer for me. I'm sure I'll figure out why I can't play eventually

[limpid shell]

ok so i can only play streets as my scav and trying as a pmc just blue screens my pc, any suggestions?

[hollow cedar]

I could try a fresh install? If that doesnt work I'll honestly just wipe the PC and start from scratch

[hollow cedar]

Could be a VRAM issue. look up how to increase that

[cedar sand]

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/

[cedar sand]

If you did as instructed you should not be having any Nvidia driver conflicts.

[hollow cedar]

I don't think the nvidia drivers are the issue. In the logs, it moves past that and goes on to crash anyways. I'm pretty sure it's something that isn't being logged

Yeah, I can alt tab while its loading and itll go further than the initial screen, but the moment I actually view the tab it crashes. Im gonna reinstall

[tough frigate]

one russian blogger making trial version keys giveaway is it true and possible?

[twin wind]

If I get an "infinite" loading screen when off loading loot as a scav, is that loot lost? Literally just had the best raid I've had this wipe.

[cedar sand]

Close the game, go to your launcher, change your server selection to one server with low ping, open your game and transfer the loot

[twin wind]

I weirldy was able to go into my settings and have it take me back to my stash from there. I saw the stuff I transfered was there, quit the game and reloaded it and it seemed to work. I will try your tactic if it happens again which is likely. Tarkov seems to be on the fritz (at least for me)

[gloomy flint]

Where do you go to make a appeal to being banned on the server? looking for a friend who got banned because of a tk over bad communication.

[lyric trout]

Hey guys! does anybody know how to fix lag and long loading time?

[slim spruce]

in the long loading time what are you stuck on? loading loot?

[lyric trout]

yes, and loading map takes a long time too

[slim spruce]

see here https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/rlof6z/loading_loot_slow_fix/

[lyric trout]

ok, thanks! But do you have anything for lag and stuttering?

[slim spruce]

Usually raising the page file would help this if you only have 16GB of ram.

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/

[lyric trout]

alright, thank you so much!

[limpid shell]

i already did this bro you literally recommended it to me before

[robust spire]

I can use akms for the task where you need to take out scavs in shoreline? Or jjust woodstocked one? Just ask to not waste my time

While im at it, wich one can be pimped out with the best result?

[robust spire]

So ak-103 and 104 count as akm series? Guess i learned something new

Didnt expect that

[sturdy hatch]

I turned in Gunsmith - Part 14 last week, got rewards for it and everything, but now when I click on Mechanic in the Tasks tab, it gives me the Subtask Completed in the bottom-right for GS - P14. I've been on and off since then so I don't think it's a matter of restarting my game. Is this a bug that will go away when I eventually get P15?

[vapid totem]

I am constantly having the same "server connection lost error"

why is that?

how much vram is it per setting? I have only 6gb of vram and 32gb of ram 3200mhz I don't play streets

Can anyone help me

[slim spruce]

The FPS drops when shooting?

[fading moon]

epic, uniti crashing again

[faint helm]

Went matching for streets and ended up playing a game of reconnect for 10 minutes until I gave up and lost my kit. Because instead of loading me in to a raid it kept spamming "Server connection lost." and throwing me to "Attention! You're character is still in in the raid." menu. Add the random Tarkov shenanigans like no sound, crack aim scavs who don't see bushes, game crashes, cheaters and so on. Seeing the same issues persist for a year straight with no end in sight, I really got to ask you lot the following. Is this game just a money grab for you lot or do you want this game to just die eventually when someone else makes something better than this?

[coral bison]

hey how can i report someone after match ended

[candid geyser]

how to fix:

The process cannot access the file 'C:\Battlestate Games\BsgLauncher\Temp\eft_live_0.14.1.2.29197-0.14.1.3.29351.bsgu' because it is being used by another process.

not sure what else to do

[slim spruce]

chipset drivers?

[visual granite]

[slim spruce]

Updating chipset drivers should be the first thing you do.

[visual granite]

how would i do that?

[slim spruce]

[visual granite]

Is it any of these? or it is saying there arent any?

see what the motherboard utility does

[visual granite]

alr

doesnt do much, just looks into basic settings

nothing about drivers

[slim spruce]

The motherboard might not be supported anymore.

[visual granite]

damn then what

[slim spruce]

Submit a bug report in the launcher

Try another DNS server

bios update

[visual granite]

far out ill see then

[slim spruce]

I am unaware of a solution for this problem on motherboards without a chipset driver update.

[visual granite]

is this a common problem?

[slim spruce]

no

same one i was looking at

[broken walrus]

Does anyone have a tip to not crash on streets? I increased the pagination file to 20GB, it's looking better but I keep getting crashes while I'm streaming on Discord. It's been like this since streets released and I have a pretty decent PC

[slim spruce]

What is your ram usage?

[broken walrus]

if you're talking about how much ram do i have, i run 32, dont know how much ram the game uses I didn't have a look into that yet

[slim spruce]

what is the cause of the crash in start > view reliability history?

[slim spruce]

specs?

[broken walrus]

i7 13700kf / 3070ti / 32GB DDR5 @6200mhz

[slim spruce]

You did a bios update?

Or try 4800Mhz on the ram?

[broken walrus]

Not the past few months tbh but I don't think this is what causing my issue. Maybe lowering ram yeah, I didn't think about that

[slim spruce]

Lowering the ram to 4800 is base speed for ddr5, the most likely cause is ram instability with ddr5

a bios update will make ram more stable

make sure you have one page file on C only

[broken walrus]

Yeah I heard about ddr5 issues, listen, imma just try lowering this tomorrow and i'll let you know if that resolves my case. Pretty annoying to have decent RAM if you can't use its full potential tho :p

but damn, i went back to tarkov yesterday and I thought streets would run better x)

[hollow cedar]

I found the issue btw, the guy I bought the PC from was a windows 10 supremacist so it was imaged specifically for windows 10 and thats it so it had a stroke when I updated it. It was being super weird with all of my files

any ideas on how to get past the sell all loading stuck bug?

i just run a raid as scav and extract however at the end screen where you sell or transfer items it stuck. i can not transfer any item nor sell all. it just keeps loading animation. i restart the game but cant pass it. anybody experienced it ?

[cedar sand]

Close your game, open the launcher, go to your server selection, select ONE server that is close to you (low ping) and then open your game.

[wanton summit]

i play at EU servers. i unselect all and choose a Russian server and it worked.

[cedar sand]

Yeah do not play on Auto servers, you will have lots of backend errors

Selecting one server will reduce the amount of errors you get

[tawny stone]

a

[nova crystal]

interesting. Just got found RMT guys. Two guys spawned in Factory. One of them killed the guy, got all loot and left the raid from one of Factory key exits. when i arrived - guy left. CAnt even identify who were them.

[lyric bobcat]

Is the task "The Door" able to be completed? It's my first wipe and a friend is saying I wont be able to do it.

[lavish cipher]

The game won't download, it stuck on calculating time

[proven shale]

Thanks bro, I’m gonna do a few runs see if I’m successful

[tawny stone]

does anyone else get flikering on bars or fences at about 50-100m . I have taa high and anti filtering- on. @1080p ? DLSS on quality helps it but then holo sights are laggy with DLSS

[lunar shore]

Is offline coop mode bugged? No scavs spawn if i change the AI amount to anything other than "As in online"

[wind cosmos]

feel free to send me questions but just remember, you are going to die a lot before you get good at it.

Also if you can get your hands on an svd and some hp ammo, use that instead.

I have a gun build I prefer to use when killing zryachiy thats not much different from the ADAR in terms of operation and the HP 54R has 102 damage with a 40% frag chance, meaning (in theory, not so often in practice) youll 1 shot zryachiy 40% of the time

[proven shale]

Appreciate it brother 🫡🙏

[wind cosmos]

I snipe, ill shoot you my graphics and postfx, I run this game off a laptop so if these work for me they def will for you.

[wind cosmos]

literally Zryachiys svd with a scope and a lighter, higher ergo stock

[wind cosmos]

Play with your postfx in an offline, everyones eyes are different

[wind cosmos]

And keep that supressor in your secure container, the threads can get up to 120k

[crude patrol]

I lit all 3 campfires and no zryachiy appeared, am i understanding this event wrong or what?

[cedar sand]

He doesn't always come

You need to keep all 3 bonfires lit for 1 minute until you hear birds singing, then he has a chance to spawn and will walk out of one of the bonfires and begin dropping loot

[crude patrol]

OOHH, that makes sense

[cedar sand]

From my 10 raids of lighting the bonfires I've seen him in 6 of them

[tacit jetty]

Question: for which quest do i need Violet keycard? because i remembered that i need it for a quest earlier wipes

[cedar sand]

Violet keycard is not required for any tasks

[tacit jetty]

and was used for quest in older wipes?

[tacit jetty]

oh im just stupid sorry i though about old Colleagues - Part 3 items but it was blue and green sorry my fault

[quiet jay]

my wifi goes crazy when i am in a game of tarkov but is fine otherwise, when i play a match my ping goes to anywhere from 500-4000 and doesnt go back down, any possible reason?

[slim spruce]

Try on wired one time to be sure

If this is not possible you might need a powerline adapter.

[quiet jay]

you mean like ethernet?

i am using ethernet already

[slim spruce]

you said wifi?

[quiet jay]

they mean the same thing where i live, sorry

i am using ethernet

[slim spruce]

try another region in the launcher as your servers

if you're USA E try one server in USA W

[quiet jay]

tried 2 different regions and no luck

[slim spruce]

You're from AUS?

[quiet jay]

NA

[slim spruce]

Do you have any VPNs to try?

[quiet jay]

other people on my network have similar problems... but they are only when i am playing tarkov? is there a possible reason for that?

[quiet jay]

i will try that, thank you

[slim spruce]

If it's fine on a VPN this means your ISP has bad routing to the servers you've chosen.

Use the closest location to you.

[quiet jay]

that could be possible, but my ping goes to 40 every once in a while so idk, but i will try

[vivid briar]

@smoky moat

how much space is on your drive and how much space is tarkov telling you it needs

[smoky moat]

yep

i have 560gb ish but my other ssd has 250gb

the 250 is almost full im just wondering how to switch it over

its fine if you dont know

[vivid briar]

i do but the answer slipped my mind for some stupid reason in which case i apologize

@slim spruce

apologies for the ping but my brain just went blank

[slim spruce]

huh

[vivid briar]

user wants to download a geforce driver, supposedly has the space but it won't allow them to

[slim spruce]

what error?

[vivid briar]

@smoky moat

[smoky moat]

it just says there isnt enough space

[slim spruce]

send a screenshot

[smoky moat]

it wont let me click on it now

i tried restarting

[light atlas]

Sup guys, im trying to apply for being a sherpa and i´ve done all the stuff they ask but i dont understand this question:Forum profile link (Click on profile after you logged in to the forum, not the main site. ), i´ve tried some things but it doesnt work, can someone give me and advice or tell me how i can do this?

[slim spruce]

Did you get to your profile page?

https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/

when you are signed in click on your profile

the url will have your username in it somehow

[light atlas]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/profile this link?

[slim spruce]

no

at the top right when signed in click profile

[light atlas]

i just press sign in at the forum? (and sorry for not being able to understand)

[slim spruce]

sign in yes with your tarkov account

[delicate tendon]

if i have change scope zoom to rmb and lalt do i have to be out of the scope to change the zoom or can i change it while adsed?

[light atlas]

Ok, thx.

and one last thing, im having a problem with the discord name, it says the name and numbers but i´ve put both of those and it doesnt let me

[slim spruce]

your discord name is "sundade.123" no quotes

[light atlas]

I tried that but it still doesnt let me to send it.

[slim spruce]

what is it asking for send a screenshot

I see the application it is asking for what I sent

sundade.123

[slim spruce]

add #0 to it

or use your old one

[light atlas]

thx, that worked.

[slim spruce]

sundade#5378 would work too

[light atlas]

thank you so much for your time, and sorry for asking dumb questions.

[slim spruce]

[old walrus]

Howdy, wondering if anyone has had experience with Unity errors crashing my Tarkov?

[willow sun]

well today i got a error after a freeze in game "Unhandled Exception: Access to the temporary path is denied...." before i done quest Gunsmith 2 to 5, Perhaps it could be due to that? I've never had an issue until today, but I resolved it by launching the launcher as an administrator

[stoic topaz]

how do i report someone for teamkilling me for my stuff

[slim spruce]

#discord-mod-mail

[vast garnet]

Hey so i jus spawned in a raid and died to teh new guys instantly i spawned on them i just didnt get to move n died instantly

[cedar sand]

If you shoot them or a bonfire is lit they become hostile

They are friendly to both PMC and Scav until that happens

[wind cosmos]

Did you call them names?

[marsh quail]

Same happened to me to they spawned next to me on start and killed me instantly

[vast garnet]

we never shot them at all, we jus spawned in and i could even get a chance to move before i died

[cedar sand]

One of the members of your group must have shot them, they are friendly to all factions until attacked

Unless BSG decided to change how they work randomly today

[young pecan]

yo, everything in my hideout keeps lagging every once in a while, forcing me to restart my game. This usually happens when im mass selling on the flea or something similar. I cant move anything without the icons flashing, cant accept quests, sell stuff on flea, etc. anyone got any ideas?

[cedar sand]

Happens to me often too, when I am selling lots of stuff on the flea. You must restart your game sadly.

[vast garnet]

none of us shot them in that gaem or the game before, and the raid i jus finished they where friendly so idk what happening to them i think they jus startintg to bug out or smn

[heady cosmos]

im getting terrible shoreline performance after the patch

[vivid briar]

when i enable vsync fps limt goes away why is that

[sick plank]

is it normal that I dont get scav rep for killing PMCs anymore ?

[willow sun]

whats ur config

[heady cosmos]

i5 8400 and RX 6600XT

it ran fine before the patch

[willow sun]

I have a weaker setup and I have no issues, so it likely comes down to you

[heady cosmos]

what is that supposed to mean

[willow sun]

(amd ryzen 5 3400G , RTX 3060) Try deleting the cache and temp files

Try another game, and if it runs well, then it's likely the patch

Snow causing you to bug? That would be strange

[vivid briar]

turn off fsr 2.2

[heady cosmos]

my FPS is worse without fsr

[vivid briar]

idk im runnin this 4070ti and 7800x3d

[rich cape]

NEED A ADMIN

[heady cosmos]

yeah your specs are much better than mine

especially the x3d cpu

[vivid briar]

and im gettin 130 frames in lighthouse

[heady cosmos]

i get like 30

[vivid briar]

dam

try to set everything on low and see

[heady cosmos]

no, i meant that it was fine before the patch

[vivid briar]

how much b4 and after patch

i think its the snow

[heady cosmos]

it was playable before patch and now its laggy

[vivid briar]

you are running 2k res

2k res need a good pc

[heady cosmos]

i did try 1080p but there wasnt any difference

idk whats wrong

[vivid briar]

set it in nividia 1920x1080

[smoky wolf]

why is my bitcoin staying green?

[heady cosmos]

bug?

happened to me quite a few times

[onyx cradle]

I've been getting packet loss on Tarkov for the past day or so.
Anyone got a reason for why this is happening or a fix for it?
I've reset my internet and router, checked all cables, reinstalled the game, all .exes are running as admin and yet whatever it is keeps causing problems.
Absolutely no internet problems or packet loss outside of Tarkov in any way, but Tarkov becomes unplayable and eventually kicks me out of the raid.
I've ran out of ideas to fix this, so any tech geniuses here have any ideas?

[ionic silo]

Anyone found a fix yet for when loading in to raid discord wont pick up the microphone anymore? Doesn't happen very frequently but its very annoying

[quiet summit]

Are you using a bluetooth mic, or plugging it in halfway

Or nudging the connection

[ionic silo]

Wireless Headset

[quiet summit]

Tarkov doesn't like breaks in connections

Once you break that connection you'll have to restart

[ionic silo]

So currently there's no fix, only way is to restart while in raid,

[quiet summit]

Or you can go wired, something like that

[ionic silo]

Got no option for wired on this one unfortunately

[quiet summit]

Or do you have some external audio source that could be popping in?

[ionic silo]

No i dont,

[quiet summit]

An external audio source that could be taking default for a second

Maybe you kick a controller with audio output

Something like that

[ionic silo]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

gues i just have to reboot then everytime this happens

[quiet summit]

wait

Discord?

[ionic silo]

Yeah

[quiet summit]

uhhh

Launch Discord as admin

[ionic silo]

It already is,

[quiet summit]

[ionic silo]

its launched as admin by default. i changed it because of this.

tarkov just likes to troll me

[quiet summit]

So > Discord, > Tarkov
-Discord bork
Can't fix until close Tarkov

?

[ionic silo]

Discord + Tarkov Bork,

[quiet summit]

oh what

[ionic silo]

Reboot tarkov + discord

[quiet summit]

Tarkov your mic doesn't work either?

[ionic silo]

nope.

it fucks it up completely. i lose all input

[quiet summit]

Is your system detecting it?

[ionic silo]

Yeah, when i go to test my mic it works fine

just discord and tarkov

[quiet summit]

Did you disable all other forms of input?

[ionic silo]

Yep,

Only thing active is my headset.

[quiet summit]

I would keep an eye out on your sound control panel to see if something pops up when that happens

It might be popping in for a second then yeeting itself out so you never see it

[ionic silo]

Could be but never had this issue that much but now its getting worse and worse.

every 2 raids or so this happens

[quiet summit]

[ionic silo]

[quiet summit]

[ionic silo]

[quiet summit]

Yeah just keep an eye out for it

Have it open on your scedoncdmonitor or osmething

Wow I just had a stroke

[ionic silo]

Second monitor copy. i'll just go buy one real quick

[quiet summit]

Who games in 2024 without a second monitor

[ionic silo]

Has left the chat.

[quiet summit]

Try asking Sessamy when he comes online, maybe he can give you another idea

As for me, I'm all out

Only suggestion is to stare at the suond control panel but you don't have a second mon

[ionic silo]

#borderless.

Got it

[ionic silo]

Let me just look in event viewer instead.

[quiet summit]

Fingers crossticles

[ionic silo]

🪦 RIP

No recent event to show regarding sound / input / output

I Mean i can't be the only one with this issue right?

https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/159964-tarkov-voip-bugging-discord/#:~:text=Here is how to fix it. Go to,settings in Tarkov and do the same there.

@quiet summit The only thing mentioned on the forum that could possibly help

''There is a setting in your windows microphone properties to give applications exclusive access to your microphone. Disable it.

Control Panel > Sound > Change sound card settings > Recording > Properties of your microphone > Advanced tab''

I'll give that a shot i guess

[serene perch]

Does killing Morana scav make you a traitor?

[vivid briar]

no

[wind cosmos]

I have 6k combined hours on a laptop bro

[quiet summit]

Well some people just want to watch the world burn too

[wind cosmos]

Update your drivers and make sure your mic is set to default audio device in sound settings

[wind cosmos]

I intend to light said fires

[quiet summit]

Checks out

[rain fog]

Please help, whenever i try install arena or eft it loads for a little and nothing else happens. I have tried updating drivers and deleting all files relating to tarkov i can find then reinstalling the launcher fresh

[quiet summit]

It's because you've installed both Escape from Tarkov & Tarkov Arena in the same directory

Uninstall both, reinstall in different directories

Make one in Tarkov Arena new folder, another one in EFT Folder

@rain fog

[wind cosmos]

@long cloud

[rain fog]

i have neither installed, the empty folders name arena and eft are both inside battlestage games folder. idk if thats what u mena

[quiet summit]

Oh

First restart computer

then launch launcher in admin

[rain fog]

didnt work @quiet summit

[quiet summit]

There's no way you did that in a minute

[rain fog]

i just restarted my pc before i originally replied to ur msg

[quiet summit]

Try disabling all antivirus/windows defender stuff flike that

restart and try again

Orrr

You can manual install via the pinned messages here

[rain fog]

thanks i got it working x

[quiet summit]

With the windows defender?

[rain fog]

with this "Sessamy — Today at 2:40 AM
install to C:\program files (x86)\EFT and arena folder in that program files folder and start the launcher as admin"

[willow sun]

It's still strange that everyone is having issues just with a small patch ahahha

[cedar sand]

I’ll ban you

[cedar sand]

What are your system specs and what regions do you have selected in your launcher?

[onyx cradle]

7800x3d, 4080 super, 32gb ddr5 somethin somethin and I play on all European servers

[cedar sand]

Select one single server and set up a page file

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/

You may also want to ensure all of your drivers are up to date

Including chipset and ensure your memory overclock profile is enabled in BIOS

[onyx cradle]

I built this PC a week ago and manually installed all drivers, unless I missed something this shouldn't be a problem

It really bothers me that it was running fine until yesterday...

[onyx cradle]

Will try this though

[onyx cradle]

It appears I've missed the single most obvious fix in changing my ingame servers, and everything appears to be working properly now. Thank you 🤝

[abstract steeple]

is this a good all rounder secure container setup I would normally have a cms for that extra slot for random stuff

[twilit jungle]

is it worth upgrading from a 5600x to a 5800x3d? how much better would performance be? I have a 3060 ti and 16gb ram(soon 32) and get 40-60 fps on streets

[cedar sand]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC1ajQIT8M8

The RAM upgrade and a 5800x3D will help you a lot, especially for Streets.

[wind cosmos]

Yeah if your ammo is worth dirt

Ammo, sicc case, then whatever tf else you want

[abstract steeple]

is your name ingame Zyrachifarmer?

[wind cosmos]

Oh and atoms Case

And a stims case*

[abstract steeple]

im not a chad

[twilit jungle]

I didn’t realize gigabeef made an entire video on this lol, thanks for your help!

[abstract steeple]

too expensive

[wind cosmos]

No my in game is 54 BS abuser

Stims cases are important for any play style

[abstract steeple]

I saw somebody in the group thing named #1zyrachifarmr

[wind cosmos]

He’s a poser

@abstract steeple real talk if you need your money up and you suck, go sit in d2 silo hall with an svd.

It’s not honourable at all and people will hate you but it do get them roubles flowing fast

[abstract steeple]

you know how rich i would be if the loot i got for getting the luckiest head eyes ever on some giga chad was fir

[wind cosmos]

Prob like 2 million

[abstract steeple]

i "Edged" ragman for a week and got 7mil from scav runs

[wind cosmos]

Stash number go up = smile

Sweet summer child..

[abstract steeple]

I dont buy kits i just go in with a rat kit when im running low then come out with a kit

[wind cosmos]

You should watch some general Sam

Becoming the problem is the best way to learn

How many hours do you have

[abstract steeple]

300

I have like 30mil stash value

[wind cosmos]

Yeah for my first 1000 hours I was a general Sam student. You really learn the game fundamentals when you’re trying to stack all the odds in your favor before a fight.

Once you pass 1k you can start learning movement and get a much better grasp on game sense/map knowledge/boolet etc.

Or hop into Sherpa hub and run with those gamers

[stark crystal]

how do i get the game?

[cedar sand]

https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/preorder-page

[void hare]

if i shoot someone 40 times and the shots dont register (i have vids of the shots SHOULDVE hit him) is that hacks or game bug?

[vital hawk]

Why is it like pulling teeth to get an email change?
I’ve contacted support twice, the 2nd with the proof required and they closed my ticket stating to contact them to change it on the day I lose access to it completely???

[burnt vapor]

Yeah same here I have been trying to get an email change I contacted support yesterday and showed proof but I haven't gotten a response yet tho

[dusk breach]

My mouse has a double click feature (a scroll wheel that clicks the left mouse button), is this allowed to be used in game?

[drifting owl]

Does anyone know how to activate the Download speed? I can’t seem to access it on the launcher….

[slim spruce]

0 means unlimited

[drifting owl]

No way that’s wild, it’s like I said I can’t access it….

[slim spruce]

why do you need to limit it?

[drifting owl]

To get a better download rate, and to do things in the background. Rather than having the Wi-Fi crash every so often from it spiking a 40-60kbs would be nice to cap out. That way in 3 days the download can finish in a smooth fashion and I can also use my pc again.

But right now it just says unlimited and nothing in the launcher let’s me change that….. like the limiter is there but it can’t be touched in any way.

[slim spruce]

I don't know the answer to this one. Does your browser have this feature?

[drifting owl]

What browser? This is the launcher not a browser….?????

[slim spruce]

I have another way to download the game. Does your browser allow you to limit downloads?

[drifting owl]

I’m already 3 days in I’m not restarting my download when I only have 3 days left lol!
I just want to know how to activate the download limiter so when updates and or if I get arena later I can easily use my pc as it updates stuff.

[slim spruce]

I can't get it to work either. Sorry.

[wind cosmos]

Click the arrow next to "Online" under your account name in the launcher, then go to Options and scroll down to Maximum Download Speed.

@drifting owl

[slim spruce]

it's greyed out

[wind cosmos]

Ui is different ish now but the feature should be the same if you launch the launcher as an administrator

I did the same thing in like 2019

[slim spruce]

It is not working though.

[wind cosmos]

Not even launching as admin?

[slim spruce]

[wind cosmos]

That was my fix to the greyed out

Rip, get better internet ig

[drifting owl]

Lmfao

[wind cosmos]

Or set a hard cap via cmd

That you’ll have to manually change when you’re done

[drifting owl]

Where can we report a bug in the launcher?

[wind cosmos]

Idk that one, I personally just abuse bugs until they get fixed

Jkjk

[cedar sand]

Game settings, report a bug

[drifting owl]

How do you get to game settings? Would just using the support button work to?

[wind cosmos]

Some level of self sufficiency is required

[cedar sand]

You click on the option that is labelled ‘game settings’ and then click on the option on the menu that is labelled ‘report bug’

[drifting owl]

Once more don’t have access to Wi-Fi while download….. as tarkovs install is eating everything, so rather than waiting the 30min it takes to load the support website it’s faster to ask.

[wind cosmos]

Get an Ethernet cable

Are you downloading while at fort brag or something

[drifting owl]

Don’t have access to a hard line unless you want to buy it for the community I live in :)

[wind cosmos]

6 day download is nuts bro, you’re gonna have a hard time just running the game

[cedar sand]

Yeah that’s a fair point

You most likely will not have a stable enough connection to even play

If you get 50kbps download

[drifting owl]

Nah I run games fine

[cedar sand]

Tarkov is not like other games

[slim spruce]

I would recommend not messing with the launcher because it doesn't save progress if you stop it.

[wind cosmos]

60kbs and my entire computer has a stroke, she’s spoiled and only likes 300mbs +

[drifting owl]

I can play helldivers, starcitizen, payday, ready or not, warthunder, warframe, factorio, ect ect withen under 200ping which is fine! Usually average around 90-150ping lol

[wind cosmos]

What part of Europe do you live in

I can only imagine you’re European if you don’t have hardwire

[drifting owl]

:) works fine! LoL ( day3 about to start day 4 )

[cedar sand]

Ping is not the only thing that affects your server connection

Tarkov has many moving parts and 63KB/s is likely not enough to have a playable experience, I’m just being straight with you

You will likely get server connection lost due to poor connection quality often

[drifting owl]

Okay and? That’s part of gaming not everyone is rich. :) just gotta enjoy the little you got.

[cedar sand]

You’re rude for no reason, when you’re here in 3-4 days after your download finishes to seek help for your connection issues I’ll be sure to turn a blind eye.

[drifting owl]

That’s okay cause I won’t care about connection issues, I play the games I have. I just wanted to know how the download limiter was accessed, it is bugged out and that is clear so a few people here should be reporting that it’s bugged as they also confirmed it was broken…… ( I didn’t even buy the game nor did I come to the server to game with people from the community ) I’m here for updates and that’s about it lol.

[drifting owl]

Launcher did in fact save progress after closing it and relaunching., which is nice.

[slim spruce]

Oh good.

[drifting owl]

Also was able to report the bug with the download limiter! Had to stop the download to get to the settings because they are hidden when downloading. ( also I closed the launcher and relaunched, so fully can confirm download is fine and resumed where left off. )

[azure anvil]

yea you arent gonna be able to play tarkov

server connection lost every raid

[azure anvil]

wowzers factorio with sub 200 ping?!?!?!

[oak field]

are there any good EFT offline PVP servers? I wanna use my own kit, not the ones on Arena

[cedar sand]

Your question doesn’t really make sense sorry, offline pvp would be LAN? There is no LAN game mode in EFT

[oak field]

sorry I meant co-op mode in EFT

[cedar sand]

There is a co-op mode that can be purchased from your profile page, it’s $10 but no progress is saved in this mode. There is also offline raids, progress also is not saved in this mode.

[oak field]

I know, I have EOD. What I'm asking is if there are any recommended discord servers that specialize in finding players who are interested in doing PVP for the co-op mode. I used to be in one awhile back before Arena was a thing

[cedar sand]

Check #❌〡community-servers or #pvp-lfg

[viral nymph]

mu buddy got an authorization error last night after we left labs. Not a ban or anything and its not allowing him to login. Error 206 is what it says which is incorrect password/email. Anyone know any recent fixes to this

it kicked him and said he had to log back in

[knotty bone]

does anyone have a Fake Mustache on their scav

[violet apex]

whats this and how do i unlock it

[left socket]

how do i download arena EOD account?

[cedar sand]

Log in on the Arena website and then you should be able to install it via the launcher

[cedar sand]

Look on the wiki for the required quests, it’s quite a large list.

[young pecan]

is the flea market warning still in the game?

I dont understand why it doesnt activate when my flea tax is literally above the price of the item

[green dew]

why cant I collect my supressor back from insurance

[pliant kraken]

Audiophile still not spawning my guitar pick

[cedar sand]

It has multiple spawns, use the wiki to see them all, it’s spawning you just can’t find it

[pliant kraken]

negative, I've checked all 10 spawns inside the room multiple times

[cedar sand]

If you have the task and haven’t picked up the quest item yet, it will be in the skybridge room. I can assure you.

[pliant kraken]

I can assure you with over 2000 hours and having completed this quest more than once in past wipes, it's not spawning bro

and I'm not alone in having this issue

[cedar sand]

You aren’t alone in struggling to find the quest item, but it’s definitely there

[pliant kraken]

I'll video my search if you really want me to prove you wrong...

[cedar sand]

If you do, send it to BSG as a bug report, but you are definitely just not checking all the spawns properly, no reason to be offended by that however.

[pliant kraken]

Not offended, but you're calling me a liar so...

[cedar sand]

Just go to the spawn points and get in there real close and try to get the white dot

I’m not calling you a liar. I’m saying you’re mistaken

The quest items on streets have lots of spawns and people often miss them, you wouldn’t believe how many times people come in here saying the same thing only to find it when they search properly for it

[pliant kraken]

You might as well be saying "skill issue" if all you're doing to help is saying "It's there look harder". Maybe just leave it be if you can't help

[cedar sand]

Look I understand you’re frustrated that you can’t find the guitar pick, but if you have the task and haven’t already looted it, then it will be there.

[pliant kraken]

10+ raids online, I've done it before, I've resorted to the wiki multiple times and even youtube walkthroughs. It isn't spawning in the room it is supposed to spawn in if it is spawning.

[quiet summit]

Choopa, don't get so agitated, Cheky isn't one to troll

[cedar sand]

Like we had one dude in here just last week losing his mind for 30 minutes over a quest item he had already handed in

It will be in the room, just check every spawn thoroughly and look for the attention dot that pops up when you look at items

[pliant kraken]

I will go ahead and record it and send it to BSG as a bug report.

[quiet summit]

Did you move it to your off-raid stash?

1. Check off-raid stash
2. Check that you have the task accepted and currently active
3. Check Wikipedia for all spawns ; if it notates there may be information not up to date, keep that in mind
4. Check room throughly

If all else fails send a report

[pliant kraken]

Yes, I have done all of those things. I have literally been looking for it for weeks and was just assuming I was struggling. I'm 99% sure it's not spawning. I have a quest item in my stash, but it's the cell phone for 'ambulances again'. I know all 10 spawns listed in the wiki like it's my own apartment. I will do the track several more times and I will record it and report it if I'm still unsuccessful.

[twilit jolt]

When is the next wipe?

I'm new to the game so I'm just curious.

[cedar sand]

No one can say for sure until it's actually happening. Most likely ~3 months from now.

??wipe

[acoustic sapphire]

The last wipe was on <t:1703660400:F> (<t:1703690760:R>). The Patchnotes can be found here #eft-announcements message

anyone else not able to look for a match in arena? I keep getting "session lost: re-log in required"

specifically ranked*

[chrome python]

hey guys my game is stuck on reparing 0 percent how do i fix this

[quiet summit]

Leave it for ~10 minutes

[chrome python]

🫡

[umbral escarp]

Need help guys

Cant play arena, whenever I try to load into a match it says something about session lost, login required.

[cedar sand]

You must launch the game from the battlestate games launcher, a shortcut or running the .exe will result in this error

[umbral escarp]

I do.

[slim spruce]

Are you on a VPN?

[umbral escarp]

No.

[slim spruce]

Any unusual things about your internet connection or setup?

[umbral escarp]

Nope

Played all yesterday too

[slim spruce]

You're on wireless?

[umbral escarp]

Around the usual 800mb/s and have a lightning fast setup that I spend too much money on

Ethernet

I have tried everything- deleting and logging in and out, clearing the cache, validating the files, and even redownloading the game.

[slim spruce]

This type of problem means you are getting some sort of internet disruption like sudden times of high ping. Please try a single server in another region.

[umbral escarp]

Ive tried several

Auto and 3 servers across server list

[umbral escarp]

I'm so lost man. I love this game.

[slim spruce]

Try logging out and in on the launcher and reboot network hardware like router/modem.

Unplug them for 15 seconds.

[umbral escarp]

I'm in a dorm

Plugs into a wall directly and I get super high speed

[slim spruce]

This may be outside of your control then since this is an unusual internet setup.

[umbral escarp]

My internet is fine?

Ping is at 8 and I have high speed currently

[slim spruce]

A dorm usually has many many people on it at once and at peak hours this may cause issues with congestion.

Also, they are probably using a very cheap router.

[umbral escarp]

It never gets congested

I consistently run +500 mbps

[slim spruce]

I would suggest using another internet like from your phone if your plan supports tethering.

[umbral escarp]

I tried that.

Cant even connect at all even on their wireless

Do you know where to find game support? Looking for help and I cant find them at all. On the website and launcher it just reroutes me to the frequent topics

[slim spruce]

A bug report in the launcher.

[umbral escarp]

Awesome Ill try that. Thanks.

[next yacht]

I got this msg when I start the Launcher, any idea how to fix?

[zenith walrus]

@next yacht clear logs restart pc and clear cache too

[next yacht]

Any hint on how to do that?

[grave basin]

same here

SA Server

[next yacht]

is it here?

[slim spruce]

@winter mauve@vernal jacinth English only

Brasil server is in #regional-communities

[winter mauve]

mb

[vernal jacinth]

fair enough, but is it really necessary to delete our previous conversation?

[slim spruce]

I can not moderate what I can't read.

[winter mauve]

there`s not Brasil server at all :(((

[vernal jacinth]

There is no Brasil server listed there

[slim spruce]

Then you must speak English here. Sorry.

[winter mauve]

did it work for you?

[twilit jolt]

Totally noob question. But does having Tarkov on an external drive affect the games performance? Does it run better/faster if it’s on the PC’s drive?

[slim spruce]

It should be on an SSD that is connected with SATA 3

USB will degrade performance horribly.

[twilit jolt]

SSD? Is that the pc hard drive?

[slim spruce]

A regular hard drive is slower than an ssd.

[twilit jolt]

I just got my pc completely upgraded for gaming. I figured it would save on storage by putting it on an external hard drive.

[slim spruce]

by USB?

[twilit jolt]

One of those external “passports” that have 4 terabytes on it, but it does connect by USB port cable. I think it has a spinning disk in side because it feels like something is spinning in it.

[slim spruce]

Using slower storage like that for the game will result in you probably dying before you spawn in on some maps.

An internal ssd is recommended.

[twilit jolt]

Ok. I checked my hard drive. My internal Hard drive. It’s HHD. Will it run better if I install it on it instead of usb?

Even if it’s not SSD?

[slim spruce]

Better but not as good as it could.

[twilit jolt]

Ok. At least it will be better. Thank you for your help. I’m now re-installing it on my pc hard drive.

[twilit jolt]

One last question. I’m trying to reinstall the game on my pc. But it keeps saying calculating time. But it doesn’t download it and the but goes back to saying “install”. Any recommendations?

[slim spruce]

Choose C:\program files (x86)\EFT make that folder. And start the launcher as admin.

[prisma star]

Something went wrong

[vocal fjord]

Definitely not, would be difficult to play with all the UI elements and stuff and also way too many controls

[west otter]

Is this the best place to ask about a graphical glitch im experiencing in tarkov with my new GPU? Im just trying to determine if anyone has seen small black boxes in the character inventory screen? I have a video as well

[lean pendant]

Has anyone noticed even with Comtac 4's PMCs and Scavs walk right up with no noise? Only been happening today.

[west otter]

@lean pendant did your black boxes look like this? I double checked not using FSR

[lean pendant]

Yeah, thats an FSR issue.

is there a reason you dont want to run at your Native 4k?

[west otter]

This monitor only does 2560X1440P on displayport

it can do 4K on hdmi but its only 60hz refresh

Everything but variable refresh is off in adrenalin, FSR isnt on in tarkov.

The monitor is advertised as 2560x1440 180hz, had no idea it would even do 4K till i swapped to the HDMI input in my testing

I dont know i think im going to return it for a replacement if i can order another one before prices go apeshit because of the earthquake

[lean pendant]

what monitor?

doesnt make sense to me that DP would do less than HDMI

[west otter]

Acer Nitro VG271U M3

didnt make sense to me either, i could probably make it work with a custom resolution,

but on HDMI it maxes out at 144hz 2560X1440

or 3560x2160 60Hz

[lean pendant]

this says your DP should hit 180Hz

but yeah flat out a 2k monitor

[west otter]

yea

After i reinstalled fresh win10 it was still there, so I ran DDU and popped my 5700XT back in same settings, same monitor and it goes away

if i drop to 1920X1080 on this 7900 it goes awayu

I guess its goings back then, which is a shame

[lean pendant]

The more Im reading on the monitor its the Monitor. Known Ghosting issues

they even give instructions on how to check manufacture date as the older ones have serious ghosting

thats your black nboxes

[west otter]

I thought maybe it was overdrive or freesync but that didnt change anything

I cant make it do anything similar or wierd in any other games just tarkov

[lean pendant]

That is weird.

heres a copy paste about the age

[west otter]

Ill have to check the date on the monitor its about a month old but could be old stock

[lean pendant]

(CHECK YOUR MONITORS MANUF. DATE BY HOLDING THE BUTTON ABOVE THE JOYSTICK THEN PRESS POWER BUTTON. A SMALL RED "F" WILL APPEAR IN THE UI MENU AT THE TOP. ANY DATE AFTER NOV/2018/SHOULD BE AN INNO. PANEL. YOU SHOULD BE FINE.) With IPS you are going to get ghosting no matter what. Just adjust your settings to balance picture quality, refresh, with limiting ghosting.

GL I need to head to bed. I recommend RMA like you were saying earlier.

[west otter]

thanks for your time man

[vivid briar]

I got banned twice in a ranked game and now I have to wait 3 hours. I apologize, but it's not my fault in any way for this ban - why did I get it ?

I've had a few server errors pop up a few times. How to report to the developers ?

[nova crystal]

I have a question regarding “Profile report”.
How it works?
Cause in World of Warcraft there is also profile report. But if huge amount of reports be on one player , he will be instantly banned.

Is here the same way? Or there are some other processes?

[cedar sand]

You can be reported 1,000 times but if you are not determined to be cheating nothing will happen

There is no automatic system that will instantly ban someone from mass reporting

Only flags

@nova crystal

[twilit jolt]

It worked. Also the game runs smoothly now. Instead of taking 15 to 20 minutes to load a raid. It now does it in under 5 minutes and there is no lag whatsoever.

[cedar sand]

PSA: If you are here to ask about "Game aborted, try reconnect" please read below
Exit your game completely via task manager or alt+f4 once you get the error.
Open the game and attempt to reconnect.
If you attempt to reconnect without restarting you are likely to be stuck in an infinite loop of your game failing to load you into the raid.
If you return to the main menu, you should keep all of your items that you entered into the raid with if the raid has not started yet. Beware.

^ Similar case with boxes on woods

i thought that if containers are empty they just wouldnt spawn?

[tall swan]

maybe someone here can help me. having issues where once i go into hideout my game will freeze and then crash. can play raids all day just fine. only hideout causing issues

[grizzled compass]

last game, my teammate was invisible, i couldnt hear him, his shoots. i couldnt shoot him either. we still killed 3 people, then there was another guy that was invisible, we BOTH didnt hear, see the enemys, we both got killed in silence without knowing where the enemy is

[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 :

Tarkov: http://cdn-11.eft-store.com/eft/client/live/distribs/0.14.5.0.29577_6ee50426-95d3-4baa-afef-96bc6473e4bb/Client.0.14.5.0.29577.zip

Arena: http://cdn-11.eft-store.com/arena/client/live/distribs/0.1.5.1.29323_1d661dc8-c38d-421f-8c4d-09b6cddf06d0/Client.0.1.5.1.29323.zip

Launcher: https://prod.escapefromtarkov.com/launcher/download

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 or D:\Games\Arena.

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.

[split sparrow]

When I load onto interchange, it yeets me under the map and crashes either the game or my PC (kernel mode heep corruption or something)

blue screen of death, anyone has fixes? it started happening after this patch

[slim spruce]

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

[blissful pawn]

FIX FUCKING AUDIO

[slim spruce]

@nova crystal no naming and shaming

[nova crystal]

Now its fine?
So, I can report on suspect on flea only once?

[slim spruce]

You can't report flea offers anymore.

[nova crystal]

Why?

[slim spruce]

Doesn't prove anything.

[split sparrow]

level 15 selling 90 ledxes legit 🤗

[nova crystal]

And cant check their stats too?

[split sparrow]

wtf

[slim spruce]

Good. Profiles are cancer content.

[split sparrow]

and here I thought they added something good like acc reporting, no.. they removed acc viewing too

[nova crystal]

@split sparrow moment ago it was acitv... then I posted here a screen and after @slim sprucedeleted my posts, its gone

[split sparrow]

lol

[nova crystal]

Wtf?

now its active

[tranquil light]

Servers are shitting the bed this morning

Just got server connection lost again

[nova crystal]

i think... thre is some time limit after reporting, cause:

[split sparrow]

my pc crashes when I go interchange

only interchange, nothing else

i get bugged into the ground and it just BSODs me

[nova crystal]

So... it really is. Just relogged, again i dont have "stat review" and after waiting some time, i am able to review stats and send report. (While was waiting, i also found lot of... dont know how to name them... BOT accounts?)

[sudden spruce]

For some reason i can not update my tarkov, i click update in the launcher and it just goes back to saying update does anyone know how to fix this?

[wise trench]

[karmic isle]

Why did you remove the warning about technical problems? I was just loading into the game, of course GAME ABORTED popped up, everyone loaded and by the time I got back I was killed. Awesome and professional approach to fixing the game.

Great job BSG

Did you try to restart the game?

[spring anvil]

i had one more on streets before the patch

and now they added 5 more on ground zero this is bullshit

[torn vortex]

[atomic eagle]

Oh think that's a diff issue, I can't install the game at all, nothing about joining a game

[quiet summit]

Did you try opening the launcher in admin?

[atomic eagle]

I'm trying now, sorry, I'll let you know if it works

[quiet summit]

Okie dokie

[sour scroll]

so nice of you to help these people you are KWONderful

[atomic eagle]

Ok try and disable your windows defender + antivirus for the timebeing

You're having issues pressing install right?

[atomic eagle]

I did read something online about having to reformat pc XD which would be kinda annoying but might have too

[quiet summit]

No that's not necessary

[atomic eagle]

No i can press install can i pm you a screenshot of what happens?

[quiet summit]

You can send it here if it doesn't contain personal info

[atomic eagle]

eh i might just giveup n try another day hope it fixes itself

sadge

might try reinstall launcher and restart pc n all that stuff again

thanks anyway XD

[quiet summit]

Well

If all else fails

One of the Moderators here always pins a manual way to patch

You can check the pinned messages here

First one

[atomic eagle]

ty

I'll have a look if all else fails xD

[quiet summit]

It's not like you have your storage too full right lol

[atomic eagle]

150gb i got free idk

[quiet summit]

Is this a fresh install?

Or an update

[atomic eagle]

well it was update at first

[spring anvil]

reinstall the game

[atomic eagle]

and i don't remember what popped up but i just clicked yes to some error retry

then it said failed and i should reinstall

[quiet summit]

Oh lol

What's the directory you're trying to install to?

[atomic eagle]

so then i did that, and that failed, so i went to files and unistalled

Umm, C:\Battlestate Games\Escape from Tarkov

[quiet summit]

yeah shouldn't be a problem

weird

[atomic eagle]

ima just logout n in and restart maybe that'll fix lol

brb

Well I might just try the manual install

I think that will work worse case, thanks for the help
