[ocean oyster]

that shit worked lets gooooooo

[knotty shadow]

my game wont dowload can someone help me

[ocean oyster]

i made sure my C:\Battlestate Games\Escape from Tarkov was empty, downloaded the links, put them in that folder, started the download, force closed the launcher, and hit repair

check pins

[short kestrel]

I've been having the same problem after getting a new PC. Hopefully this guide helps and I can play again

[ocean oyster]

it should work if you need to repair

just gonna take hours

[knotty shadow]

it doesnt give me a repair option

[short kestrel]

I just started the repair and have been at 0% for a hot minute

[ocean oyster]

did you force close the launcher after those 3 files from the links are in your folder?

[ocean oyster]

yea thats normal

[knotty shadow]

which links

[ocean oyster]

took me 20 mins to get off 0%

[short kestrel]

bet

[ocean oyster]

these links

[knotty shadow]

ok i did all that and nothing changed

[ocean oyster]

click the drop down box click open install location click install force close launcher with task manager put those files in that folder and the launcher should say repair when you open it

[knotty shadow]

do i force close before it can check file integrity

[cold sail]

anyone needs help with this dm me ill guide you

[cold sail]

it takes a while sometimes it will go up and then be quicker 🙂

[tall pebble]

Does anyone have a fix for the checksum download error? I've reinstalled 8+ times and scoured reddit and BSG support

[stark fable]

yeah thats what everyones talking about rn @cold sail has been helping people

[tall pebble]

Ah okay, is it worse now than in the past? I remember having issues a couple years ago but never this bad

[warm nebula]

Damn I’ve been having the same issue didn’t realize it was this wide spread

[cold sail]

anyone with issue dm me its like few minute fix

[tall pebble]

Wdym wipe spread?

[cold sail]

everyone is effected pretty much mostly

[tall pebble]

Ah okay well at least its not just me

[stark fable]

idk tbh I didnt have any issues when i git it a couple of months ago but my buddy got it tn and he rage quite trying to figure it out so iv'e been looking for him

[warm nebula]

I almost rage quit too but I’m addicted to this game and just have been taking a break

[cold sail]

im happy to help him

[stark fable]

I told him you could prolly help him but he's kind of over reacting and just says he's over it for tonight but would you possibly be around tomorrow night if hes stil having problems

[sonic token]

C:\Battlestate Games\BsgLauncher\Temp\eft_live_1.0.4.6.44802.bsgp downloaded file checksum does not match

[cold sail]

yeah send me a dm over ill help you out

[cold sail]

dm me ill help you

[formal hare]

everytime i do the task "battery change" from the BTR driver. I get out of raid and get error code 1000 and resets the entire raid. Any fixes to this?

[dusky seal]

thanks, took a little while but it works

[vernal cedar]

hey quick question to the community, i was playing recently after the updates and i noticed that the when ever i have a red thorax or red limb in general that is severely damaged (no bleeds) i noticed that when i try to heal my character starts to heal the yellow limb over the red limb that is critically damaged. Anyone noticed this as well because i recall that before the updates my character would heal the red limbs first

[bitter lily]

mind if I dm as well? I got the same issue

[modern oracle]

I keep getting the 108003 checksum error I’ve tried uninstalling launcher and 5 installs

[brave cove]

I got this

[bitter lily]

It seems we all have this issue

[brave cove]

I rest my pc 2 times now

[modern oracle]

This is so dumb man

[distant ermine]

Here is the guide to fix the errors (you can thank Geci he is the GOAT)

And here are the links to the downloads

[brave cove]

Why does this even exist bro 😂

How

[distant ermine]

Cause last update broke the dowload. They are fixing it. But in the meantime if you wanna play you have a solution

You do know errors can happen and bugs like that cannot be prevented specialy with the update they did with the test servers added for all !

[brave cove]

Thank bro 🙏

[distant ermine]

Don't thank me lol thank Geci he is the one that found the fix !

[brave cove]

I'd rather wait for them to fix it

[distant ermine]

Understandable !

[brave cove]

He's a genius

[modern oracle]

Guys I have the game files downloaded but when I set the path they aren’t there

And I’ve 1000% copied them

[orchid steppe]

Hi everyone, I need your help—I'm going crazy.
I reinstalled Windows 11 and tried to reinstall EFT, but I'm getting error 108003. I've been looking for a solution for hours and nothing works—I don't know what to do anymore...

[brave cove]

😁

[uncut obsidian]

Check the pinned messages for help. Use one of the 2 methods, with the new being user-friendly

[brave cove]

Updated is 10h ago right?

[uncut obsidian]

Yes

The easier method, has it in its text body

[crude pelican]

Hi guys, hopefully someone can help me. Ive been trying and trying to download the game on my new pc but it just pops up this error.. Im not the sharpest with pc so hopefully someone can guide me on what to do 🙁

[brave cove]

Alright thanks

[brave cove]

Check pinned message for help

[orchid steppe]

If I understand correctly, I just need to download the three files, place them where I want to install EFT, and then run the repair?

[distant ermine]

yes. But quick tip create a new folder from the one you used before or the launcher is gonna say "start" instead of "install".

It might not matter but the goat Geci said "click install" sooooo I rather follow to the letter his guide XD

[orchid steppe]

Thank you so much. I hope this works because I'm desperate.

[distant ermine]

And warning the files fixing WILL take a long time

it's been like 30 min and it's not done for me (on an nvme gen4)

[orchid steppe]

I've been looking for a solution since 5:00 a.m.—an hour more or less doesn't matter anymore...

[modern oracle]

this is actually fucking ridicolous

i cant even install the files from discord

it dosent let me at all

[orchid steppe]

You're scaring me

[modern oracle]

it says files cant be downloaded

1.0 ready piece of shit devs

[brave cove]

ive been downloading the game for 2 days now i reset my pc 2 times

[modern oracle]

issue has been present from 2023

[brave cove]

yes but last year i reset my pc and it worked

now its worse

[modern oracle]

why i quit playing tarkov cus they can never get their shit together off to grayzone i gues

[orchid steppe]

I can't seem to download using the pinned links...

[icy charm]

i downloaded that 3 files from here, if i unpack the pre-integrity check files to the same folder, will that work?

kinda mix between the 2 guides i know, but i already started the download before i saw the new guide

[uncut obsidian]

Good instinct. It does matter wholly. New tarkov directory must be on a path that does not contain BattleState (any letter case), or the launcher will consider it corrupted

[uncut obsidian]

Replace cdn 11 with cdn 13!!! In your case

[uncut obsidian]

2016*

19**

[uncut obsidian]

Works but these 3 files are like 15MB so you might as well fetch them

Less risk of corruption

[icy charm]

wdym?

[uncut obsidian]

You can mix the guides, is all

[crude pelican]

i tried the pinned guides. Except the ones where i need to download 3 files, cause the links dosent work.
But i tried the other one with extracting the game file with 7zip.
Now i got a new error 😂

[icy charm]

if i understand correctly the new guide says install after downloading and setting path to folder with these files already. but install takes hours for me tahts why i want to mix them

so im jsut asking what do you mean fetch them

i have the 3 files already

[orchid steppe]

Do you use the web version of Discord?

[crude pelican]

Nope

[uncut obsidian]

Replace cdn-11 in links to cdn-13 or cdn-14

If any of you put cdn-11 in your windows host file REMOVE IT

I mean the line

[crude pelican]

i have to manually write the adress, since the pin is a picture and cant copy the text?

[uncut obsidian]

Scroll to the pinned message, Richard the admin posted the links

Or use ai to get the links for you

[short pawn]

can somebody please help me before the pc gets launched - im getting the error code 108003 ive followed a bunch of videos trying to fix this now on day 3 and still cant install the game

[gaunt quarry]

Follow the pinned message

[uncut obsidian]

Oh god people don't really like to read

[gaunt quarry]

They do not #weapon-modding message

[uncut obsidian]

In this discrd channel there are 2 pinned messages. Contains 2 guides, choose the easier one

[crude pelican]

this just pops up when i try enter it. i tried changing cnd to 13 or 14. no luck

[uncut obsidian]

Tele2?

[crude pelican]

wdym

[uncut obsidian]

You're scandinavian, correct?

[crude pelican]

Yeah, Norway

[short pawn]

thank you

[uncut obsidian]

Do you have tele2 internet provider?

If so, ask someone to download these 3 files and send them to you

One you trust

But sadly i assume the launcher wont be able to download either, though i might ne wrong brcause it could be a new client limitation, with thr browser not being an accepted client by the delivery

[crude pelican]

what a mess this game is

[uncut obsidian]

Not the game this time 😂 blame stockholm

And not many companies do regression on production systems

Their only fault is trusting the host here to handle mixed path strings imo

[frosty girder]

ive bought eft like 3-4 months ago and havent played since 1 week ago but i was signed in the whole time, but i wanna buy a expansion fore the game but i completely forgot the email..? what do i do.

[uncut obsidian]

Check launcher logs for email if possible

Unsure if that works 2026

[frosty girder]

where?

@uncut obsidian

[frosty girder]

@restive gyro would u be able to help me out?

[gaunt quarry]

They can't help you

[icy charm]

is this how that should look? or should i move the files into the eft_live folder?

(its all in a new folder not bsg related)

[frosty girder]

why?

[icy charm]

if yes, do i just start launcher, press install, choose folder to install, and when it starts downloading i exit and open again?

[grand loom]

Hi guys. Been trying to install tarkov for around 5 hours now... always after downloading the files disappear so i did the trick where you exit the installer when it starts to verify the files

but i still can not seem to get it working, im getting this error

Integrity check error

Error: 109002

consistency file could not be found

Error: 109005

[icy charm]

welcome to the struggle lol

[grand loom]

oh hell no D:

[icy charm]

theres a guide in the pinned msges

follow the easier one

should work. im on it rn

[grand loom]

okay, ty, ill be back probably 😄

[icy charm]

good luck

[grand loom]

Where the links at

nvm found them

Yeah lol didnt work

same errors

[icy charm]

how was it so fast??

[grand loom]

What do you mean? i downloaded the 3 files,put them in a seperate folder from battlestate games and tried to choose the path

when i try to change the path it gives the error

[icy charm]

dont choose path, press install, and give the path there

[grand loom]

The "C:\Tarkov" folder is not empty. Are you sure you want to install the game into selected folder?

this right?

[icy charm]

yes

[grand loom]

Okay, my bad im a dummy with adhd

[icy charm]

nah its ok, i think it only says to install and not set path in the earlier guide

good luck

[grand loom]

Thanks, Doing the repairing now. 🤔

[icy charm]

same, tho its stuck at 0% for me

[grand loom]

Same

[icy charm]

alright then

[dusty valve]

alright alright! who cant install the game too? XD

[icy charm]

everyone bro, just look around lmfao

the great checksum plague of 2026 lmao

[dusty valve]

ong ong

do you think its worth having a week off, or are people actually getting fixes? ive been playing around with numerous fixes for now two days solid

ran the process like 12 or so times takes two hours each time... so fucking raw

[icy charm]

there are guides here

check pinned messages

[dusty valve]

has anything actually WORKED for anyone having hte checksum issue > then havingh the integrity issue

[dusty valve]

tru tru

[icy charm]

yeah check pins, people say it has worked

im doing it rn

[dusty valve]

yeah i tried that

the integrity issue wouldnt go away for me tho, darn 🙁

agh well thank u regardless @icy charm ❤️

[robust sundial]

i love having to jump through hoops to even download the game i paid $150 bucks for

[icy charm]

youre welcome, and best of luck

[icy charm]

i know right?

[dusty valve]

yeah dont you just love it when you paid £150 to spend over 20 hours (litterally) and some 5-10 hours research all for nothing? we should get a diploma in dealing with that fuck shit for this...

presumably bsg is aware of this issue tho, if anyone actually gets past that integrity check then GG and WP

[chrome moat]

check if bsg launcher logs say cdn-11 failed

[dusty valve]

na everytime it was just bricked, it wasnt even detecting the files that our friend has kindly put on here /reddit with links to the files from the CDN repository or whatever

I move them into a new folder, set permissions and let it fly and it just wouldnt even detect them lol, just kept trying to download game from scratch ... which obviously, doesnt work atm lol

[uncut obsidian]

Youre doing it wrong. Read the guide at full, along with the previous guides important info section

No offense

[icy charm]

hey, do the 3 downloaded files go into eft_live folder or besides it?

[uncut obsidian]

A lot uf us did, let my initiates come online they're pros, but im out in the wilds rn

[uncut obsidian]

Inside the folder u eant tarki to reside

[dusty valve]

where did i go wrong? looking at guides now 😮

[dusty valve]

mmm nice

looks kinda like scotland 😄 so nice

[icy charm]

i made a Tarkov folder, and i had the copy of the 30some gb file, put that and the 3 downloaded files in there and now doing the repair, will that work?

[uncut obsidian]

Either the paths, privileges, c root or incorrect win host file, or you use set game path. Btw if u have a 2021 or older launcher revo uninstall

[icy charm]

damn very nice. bro is on a woods raid

[rain ibex]

i love you, i have been trying everything for lthe last 24 hours thank you

[uncut obsidian]

Yes but takes a lonf time

Like a full 77 gig dwnload

[dusty valve]

nah i set permissions/privileges, used only one path to the actual folders, or the created secondary folder "C:\Tarkov"

also i did use set game path, maybe i went wrong there ? 😮 fug

not sure about the win host file>? havent read anything about that huhhhhh

[kind sedge]

Hello, I wanted to ask if killa tracksuit is permament? Or does it wipe with prestige?

[dusty valve]

presumably wipes on prestige, its not a paid for (and therefore eternbal) item

[uncut obsidian]

EXACTLY

You need to use install

[kind sedge]

So useless to grind for that?

[icy charm]

my bad, not the 30gig file, but the extracted version of it, the eft_live file

[uncut obsidian]

Not set game files

You must use install button

[dusty valve]

mmm mm ,i mean i did try that the attempt before... ill give it a bash tho

[icy charm]

whats faster then?

[dusty valve]

ok so

32GB broken ass metadata file, with the CDN files, then just run install? i already knopw for a fact its just going to download 32GB and then fail again XD

[uncut obsidian]

Nothing rn. This is tje oly known workaround and it takes 1-1,5 hours

[icy charm]

oh alright. great

[uncut obsidian]

NO

[icy charm]

thank you for the help, GOAT

[uncut obsidian]

You dont nred the broken files

Only these 3

[dusty valve]

right

[uncut obsidian]

Then use install where only these 3 files are

[robust sundial]

repairing the game lets see if this works

[uncut obsidian]

We tested this with 7 people in the call

[dusty valve]

Geci are u willing to call with me n let me video to u?

[uncut obsidian]

With 3 trying it, 3/3, then many confirming it worked fot them as well

[dusty valve]

or are u too far from desk

[icy charm]

hes literally in the forest bro

[uncut obsidian]

Sam im in a forest barely 3g

[dusty valve]

i dont need u to watch the DL ofc, but are u willing to overview my setup before i click go?

okok tru , ill make a screenshot

[uncut obsidian]

Send svreens

[dusty valve]

gorgeous forest tho

where is it?

[uncut obsidian]

Or send em here but @ me evrry time

[dusty valve]

, woodlands look nice

[uncut obsidian]

Swrden

[dusty valve]

mmm mmm

[uncut obsidian]

Please read fhe guide very carefully, and do exaxtly as it says because the method has no tolerance for error

[dusty valve]

ok fresh install BSG Launcher...

just making sure these are the correct / relevant files?? i pulled them off reddit via skriemors post

[uncut obsidian]

Set path to game files -> verify -> fail IS THE WRONG METHOD
It's install -> navigate to the 3 files -> starts download -> close launcher immediately -> restart launcher -> click play, close error -> click repair

[uncut obsidian]

Yes

Im skriemor

Xd

[dusty valve]

😄 ah nice, thank u for ur work geci/skrie

checksum chose one

It's install -> navigate to the 3 files -> starts download -> close launcher immediately -> restart launcher -> click play, close error -> click repair

Ok oding this now

[uncut obsidian]

The first 0% is hrlla slow, so many people back out BUT DONT BACK OUT

It speeds up like progressive climax

[uncut obsidian]

Yes here

[dusty valve]

so i click continue then i close immediately? or doi need to let it cook first

[icy charm]

yeah it was extremely slow but im at 6% so it does work

[dusty valve]

😄 w

omfg its doing it dude

ugh geci man i could kiss u hahaha, long live sweden, love from scotland

[robust sundial]

was yalls staying at 0 for awhile?

[icy charm]

.

yes

[robust sundial]

ok cool thx

[dusty valve]

on 2% now, what % u at @icy charm

[icy charm]

10

but i started long beforeyou did

[dusty valve]

mhm, 10% in 30 mins or some thing? not bad, im 3% now tbf

[modern oracle]

When is there a confirmed fix has bsg said anything

[orchid steppe]

I finally did it! Thanks for your help

[cold sail]

Hey geci I helped so many last so tired 😴 😂

Night

[uncut obsidian]

Yea boi, props to you. To me the guide seems easy to follow, but then again i wrote it so i need the perspective, because it seems it's not that easy to follow for most people

[icy charm]

yes, check pins

[dusty valve]

Gecis method to fix game seems to be working

[icy charm]

how much are you at?

[dusty valve]

If anyone wants a video call to help guide them just @ me cuz geci is afk rn

[jade cedar]

got the same Problem, install fails after 99% and the files are gone xdddd tried running it in admin mode and kompatibility but didnt help

[dusty valve]

im now at 7% 😄

[cold sail]

Yeah man your the mastermind to all of this so we have you to thank for it all and yeah it’s hard to follow for some people even though the steps are clear can still be confusing for the non tech guys

[icy charm]

nice im at 13

[dusty valve]

yeah ong, shoutout geci for doing the lord ( or rather... BSG's) fucking job

[compact bane]

can you send me the links cuz I cant copy them

[dusty valve]

again anyone who wants a video call for help on the guide just lmk, things are a little confusing but gecis guide seems to be working, can confirm it 100% works in an hour or two

[cold sail]

Yeah man for real

[dusty valve]

there are links on this reddit post made by geci ( i used them and it seems to be working fr )

https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapefromTarkov/comments/1t0eluf/discussion_fix_error_108003_cant_download_the_game/

[uncut obsidian]

Lol this reddit embed looks dops

[dusty valve]

yeah if anyone needs help piloting gecis guide just hmu. im at desk all day today just @ me

[icy charm]

at what point should the repair process speed up? im at 16 and its still pretty slow

[dusty valve]

it likely wont

[uncut obsidian]

It will, but first come the large files

And it calculates % by number of files not total doenlaoded bits

[icy charm]

i see

[uncut obsidian]

If it's slow it's slow, but you're not likely to find another solu in rhe next 48 hours

Note ure downloading 77 instead of 32.

No compression, but at lrast you dont have to suffer unpaxking game files, so you can play offlinr while downloading

[icy charm]

btw i put the eft_live folder(extracted 32 gig thing) besides the 3 needed, cuz i had it and tought it might help and speed up the repair but it doesnt seem like it does, will it interfere?

[icy charm]

why?

[uncut obsidian]

Game size is 77 gigs

30+% compression makes it 52

[icy charm]

i see

[uncut obsidian]

But the cdn drops u a 32 gig file

Which decompresses to 41

It's all wrong

[icy charm]

does this do any good or bad?

or useless

[uncut obsidian]

Dont knwo, but it's actually faster for u this way

The first few % then it becomes speedy

[icy charm]

this is how its looking rn

[uncut obsidian]

Uhh no

This way no

[icy charm]

wait

hm

yea this wont help

[uncut obsidian]

Content of eft live is the game fodler instead

[icy charm]

yeah tahts what i asked before but you didnt asnwer

[uncut obsidian]

So you can still move the insidrs of eft live to one dir up

Sorry im wildin

[icy charm]

what? those are the same as what downloaded already kinda, wont that interfere with repair process?

this is the content of eft_live

[uncut obsidian]

Stop repair, move them up then start repair again, but i never tested it with mixed files or interrupted repair so dont try unless u eant to experiment

[icy charm]

if this works, how much will it speed this up?

just to see the risk vs reward

[uncut obsidian]

Yes thats the corrext structure

Umm spees up by 50% at least

[icy charm]

alright

[uncut obsidian]

Again, experimental

[icy charm]

btw i cant pause repair?

tehres no button

i can only restart is

[uncut obsidian]

Close launcher only

[icy charm]

thatll make it lose all progress, no?

[buoyant junco]

so ive done a full reinstall of the launcher and im getting C:\Battlestate Games\BsgLauncher\Temp\eft_live_1.0.4.6.44802.bsgp downloaded file checksum does not match

Error: 108003

any ideas how to fix it

[icy charm]

check pins

[icy charm]

what if i just copy the escape from tarkov data content from eft_live into the now active escape from tarkov data folder? will that speed it up?

[uncut obsidian]

Yes!

Experimental doe

At your own risk, with risk being losinf progress

[buoyant junco]

i did that process and its sitting at repairing 0%
does it really take a long time

[uncut obsidian]

Brothers while repairing go out and find some trees to hug

[dusty valve]

yeah it takes ages fr

[uncut obsidian]

Yes tje firdt few % is tje larhe files

[buoyant junco]

bruhhh. been trying to fix this for the last 2 hours

[uncut obsidian]

Most people get it in less than 2 hours so

No other known workaround so if you want to play you need the patience, i recommend playing terraria during the wait

But tarkov is in an awesome state imo so the wait is wurf

[buoyant junco]

thats why im trying to fix it. just irritating that a bug can just break the install

i was just getting prepped for another terminal attempt too ;-;

[uncut obsidian]

Yes but hating on devs isn't the solution. Basically bsg's first real huge game, i think they deserve praise for not abandoning the project and providing new content regularly. This cdn issue is very likely not their mistake

[buoyant junco]

nah i aint hating because of bugs. the only criticism i give is gunplay changes as of late

but i still like the game so its whatever

[uncut obsidian]

I dont know any other company that improved so much in so many aspects ngl. I used to complain but heck they're trying really hard

[light dune]

Any idea why I'm getting this error today?

[uncut obsidian]

Game is not in beta but they still treat it as is, with the downside being lots of bugs and upside being constant evolution

I think we love to see improvements

They also never restricted cdn to bsg client, so we can have workarounds in situations like this

[grand loom]

YEAH BOY!!! After 6 hours i got the shit working

[dusty valve]

boa boa! well done ensio! did u also follow Geci's guide?

[robust sundial]

after 2 hours while simultaneously modding rdr2 im at 55%

woo

[grand loom]

yessir

[dusty valve]

damn 1 hour ive gone from 7% to 21% mf scottish internet soo goddaym bad smh

[uncut obsidian]

Smart thing to do something light pararell, I was reading pestily's reddit lately, he turned around and now actively provides help on the platform

[light dune]

Sorry does anyone know how to fix this? the game crashes after I press Ok only started this morning 🙁

[uncut obsidian]

Oh that is sad, probably ambiguous serialized elements in hideout. I recommend you set hideout preload to false in settings text file

Can someone help him please find the "config" file for it?

Im not at the desk

[light dune]

I'll try and have a look for that as well thanks 🙂

[dusty valve]

Im not ingame, but it can be found in settings menu, bottom of the screen

game settings i think some "preload hhideout" config/setting

call me if u need assistance via video @light dune

[light dune]

I'll have a look thanks very much!

[uncut obsidian]

He needs the settinfs file brcause i csnt access the infame one

He cant*

I assume👀

[light dune]

I couldn't access it but I managed to fix it turns out it needed an integrity check for some reason, thanks for your advice though people 😄

[icy charm]

at 28%

this shit takes AGES

its been going for 2 hours

[grand loom]

Yeah, seems like its taking you alot longer time 😄

[icy charm]

well my net kinda sucks

might be that

[grand loom]

probably

[icy charm]

did you finish already?

damn

at what % did it start to speed up?

[grand loom]

it was pretty steady for me. it was at 0% for like 15 minutes

[icy charm]

oh

[icy charm]

im doing it. i dont wanna wait this much. i assume therell be a bunch of "replace?" messages tho cuz of already existing files

copied it, % in the launcher did not go up tho

im at 31%, but game size is already at like 58gig

wtf

and thats all the escape from tarkov data folder

adn that size is not going up anymore

what else will it even do now

[uncut obsidian]

Yo broski dont worry it downloads the files ure missing and skips the ones u already have

[viral flame]

Any idea on how to fix the checksum error when I install the game?

[uncut obsidian]

Here we go again xxd

#community-support message

[viral flame]

Is this a bug with the checksum error then?

[light dune]

I was curious if anyone had any recommended postFX to try on a laptop as I can't use nvidia control panel to amend brightness of my screen and I believe using stuff like rivatuner can get you banned?

[dusty valve]

i honestly feel like trading an RFIDR for a pair of GPNVGs is just easier than fucking with brightness postFX stuff hahah (useless comment i know but, honestly feels like a legit solution when u hit the wall) additionally, the hacker that kills u will really appreaciate the roubles XD

[light dune]

True hahaha I haven't even started 1.0 PVP tarkov was considering just doing PVE as I don't have a lot of map knowledge as I used to mainly play it with a friend so I was going to use it to learn

[dusty valve]

aw fair play, PvE is awesome for learning, gets super boring after like 300hrs for me anyways, if u have homies to rock it with, its always good fun 😄

highly recommend getting on the PVP servers and just sending it, its weird cuz everyone is everywhere doing their own thing so its honestly a really interesting tarkov experience rather than the usual wipe daqy "everyone goes to the same places for two weeks" normal wipe experience

[buoyant junco]

some people are having the issue, some arent. seems like a compatability issue with the updater. not really easy to take into account all hardware and software combinations. sometimes things break

[dusty valve]

nahahhaha belter, u really did save us all bro, i remember this fix has been around for a while but its so weirdly contextual and nobody wants to use it cuz u do have to download with no compression (whack ong)

[dusty valve]

If u struggle just @ me i can walk u thru Geci's fix method if u need it

[viral flame]

So basically if you don’t do the pinned message your cooked and it won’t work ?

[buoyant junco]

i may need help. ill let you know after my repair finishes and either works or doesnt.

[dusty valve]

Yeah dude, thats why im here too, geci helped me fix so i figured id hang around n help those who need a hand when hes not here to drop ball knowledge

[modern oracle]

Yes

[buoyant junco]

dont wanna drag people into helping me unless ive at least tried

[modern oracle]

Fuck tryna fix it tbh

takes so long

[dusty valve]

nah ur godo turtle, if u dont do it right, its a fucking nightmare

[uncut obsidian]

You'll all be playing the game in a couple of hours no worries

[dusty valve]

anyone who needs a hand getting the fix prepped, drop into a beginner zone call and @ me n ill come help u with uir stream

[viral flame]

Are bsg looking to fix this or na?

[modern oracle]

Knowing bsg it will be Monday till fix

[buoyant junco]

probably

[dusty valve]

probably, but lets be real they should probnably be more focused on hiring people like Geci XD

[uncut obsidian]

Liste, the repair process takes the same amount of time as the normal download would. So you can do it now or wait for bsg but it'll take a similarly long time

[buoyant junco]

i will tell you now, it def does not. been repairing for the last hour and its only at 70%. i did an install of the game 3 times in the same amount of time but it seems to be working so far

[dusty valve]

its not downloading hte compressed package

so it will take longer , though u wont need to unpack after to my understanding, on some machines, unpacking takes as long as the fuckin download hahaha

[buoyant junco]

fair. my pc installs tarkov in 20 mins. but other setups ive seen have taken awhile

[dusty valve]

mm i got a new gigapc, so im lowkey mad, unpack takes 5 mins for me but the compressed package is gacked so shrug

[light dune]

I definitely wanna try it but I think just the lack of map knowledge, me still configuring my brightness and stuff to see properly and the solo anxiety weighs heavily on me haha

[viral flame]

I think I’ll wait for bsg to fix this 🤣 paid good money for the unheard edition and can’t play if ffs , all these extras downloads and stuff confuses the fuck outta me not gonna lie

[dusty valve]

honmestly bro we all had crazy anxiety, i remeber crawling around factory like a fucking amoeba for my first 300 hrs no joke

but it goes, just need to keep playing, also ngl PvE will make u complacent i must say, be aware that in PVP there will be alot more humans hanging out of windows trying to headshot you from 100+ meters away, if ur homie is willing, you guys should do drills like

One guy "spawns" at giving tree on customs, someone else "spawns" down the trainline towards the factories, and you guys run at each other to find out how the timing feels and how you can take different paths to outthink/outwait the opponent

[buoyant junco]

i just ran around like a spaz until i learned the maps

fearless and overconfident

[dusty valve]

its a nightmare, this is teh worst PC game of all time for this kind of thing, we litterally get errors on tarkov every year that would make errors on csgo look like childs play, its just the unfortunate state of the game, but at the end of the day is there really anything else youd rather play???

Also im in beginner zone 21 for anyone who wants a hand with getting Gecis fix to run smooth!

[buoyant junco]

may be joining shortly. at 82%

[dusty valve]

awe if its actually repairing u should be chilllling

how long did it take for ur 82%? im at likeeeee 37% in two hours XD

but scotland internet SOOO fucking bad to be expected

[buoyant junco]

about an hour or so

[dusty valve]

DAYM

god damn yank net

[buoyant junco]

i pay far too much for good internet

wifi as well

[rapid carbon]

Is there anyone that could assist me in my Tarkov not wanting to download? I keep getting the checksum error 108006

[buoyant junco]

hop in beginner vc with sam if you need assistance. otherwise its in the pinned messages on how to fix it

[rapid carbon]

WHich one? There are several beginners zone active

found it

[weak wolf]

does someone know how to get rif of those burnt pixels or smoething?

[uncut obsidian]

what burnt pixels? i see art

[weak wolf]

yes, exactly, i forgot how to name it

[robust sundial]

i got 600 hours on the game i think ive only ever managed to get level 25 once and i usually end up giving up at like level 10💀

[dusty valve]

first 1000 hours is just pure pain

[robust sundial]

mfs with 4k hours come swingin around the corner and pop me off so quick

[buoyant junco]

lets goo. fix worked

[dusty valve]

yeah heres the problem, mr 4k hours probably also did like 500hrs reading on why desync swinging is OP as fuck and you didnt

[robust sundial]

i dont even get shooting in this game tbh i swear ill be hittin ppl but in the report i didnt do shit

[dusty valve]

tarkov is like judo/jiujitsu

you spend a liong time LEARNING to become a black belt, only to realise ALOT of people are black belts and being a blackbelt is only the very beginning of ur REAL tarkov career 🙂

[jade cedar]

To anyone who has fault: 108003 when trying to install/update, i bought the game on steam and it works no problem! WTF?? (do not buy a second time!)

[buoyant junco]

check pins. if assistance is needed #21 beginners zone is open with people fixing the same issue

[jade cedar]

ok thanks

[viral flame]

With the above screenshot do you actually finish the download from the bsg launcher or no?

thank you @uncut obsidian i wouldve cancelled it if it wasnt for you just now lmao. its fixing, just the launches is stuck at zero. Weird stuff for sure

[uncut obsidian]

try the first reddit post

[modest cargo]

im literally mid fixing that error right now.

[uncut obsidian]

it's pinned here

heads eyes first bullet

[modest cargo]

welcome to tarkov. Im just now getting back to it too, still trying to install it but getting there. lmao. im in the repair stage of installing right now

[cunning rock]

how is it going?

[cedar sand]

[modest cargo]

Slow, I’m not quite sure it’s fully working. But we’ll see

[modest cargo]

im already halfway through the other fix lol

so ive done all the above and it says 0% repairing the game , i get that it doesnst show the correct percentage but how do i know what im on or if it is even working?

[uncut obsidian]

%localappdata%\Battlestate Games\BsgLauncher\Logs
open latest long named log and bottom shows current file, so you track progress there

if it's too slow for you, you can try the latest pinned solution, along with the important sidenote

[viral flame]

tbh i dont have a clue what you wrote there lol my bad but it says 1% now so i guess im getting somewhere

so when this is reparing im guessing its also downloading the full game ?

[uncut obsidian]

yes, that is correct

[viral flame]

ahh okay thanks for the help

[modest cargo]

i added the line to hosts, trying it that way. do i have to add the # sign also?

[modern oracle]

This is so pathetic

[inner fiber]

is bsg going to fix this?

[fringe marlin]

can someone walk through the download process with me, still a bit confused

[modest cargo]

so if anyone decides to edit the hosts file for the fix. you have to edit the host file add 127.0.0.1 [TAB BUTTON HERE] cdn-11.eft-store.com at the very bottom. nothing else. no # sign or anything. just the numbers, tab, address.

[fringe marlin]

so it'll look like this at the bottom:

127.0.0.1
cdn-11.eft-store.com

?

[crude pelican]

@modest cargo like this?

[modest cargo]

yes

[crude pelican]

then just save it and start the download?

[modest cargo]

after you install the game, please go back and delete that line in the hosts file.

[modest cargo]

correct

[crude pelican]

okey, here goes attempt 1billion

[uncut obsidian]

make sure it doesnt turn into a .txt file...

when download starts it should show it's downloading 50GB

not 32

[fringe marlin]

i got the 50 gb TT_TT

lets go

thank you all

[modest cargo]

yeah that too, mine didnt turn into a text but some peoples do

everyone was leaving out the tab button in between, including me.

[crude pelican]

it shows its 32gb download 🙁

it didnt turn into a txt file.

[uncut obsidian]

wtf

[uncut obsidian]

where is your file

[uncut obsidian]

no no

no no no

[uncut obsidian]

you deleted your file?XD

broski accept my friend request before you ruin your oS

[crude pelican]

i right clicked on the "hosts" file and opened it in notes and added the lines in the bottom and saved it

[pearl vine]

does anyone know a solution for the 108003 error when you try installing the game

[viral flame]

is there anything else i have to do after reparing the game goes to 100% ? , or does it just work im on 90%

[viral flame]

look at the pinned messages mate

[pearl vine]

ty

[cold sail]

i would advice launching game up once at 100% then restarting pc 🙂

advise

a little error popped up for me to do with the launcher but a restart fix it

[mighty bolt]

I have i5-12500h , rtx4060 8gb 75watt and 16gb dualchannel ddr4 3200mhz ram I tested some settings on my pc and when I tried on streets my gpu is working around %30 and 65 degrees and my fps around 30-50 , I also tested in interchange fps was 50-120 gpu is working around %40-50 heat is 65 degrees and my cpu is around %30-40 is these are normal values? when I try to create offline raid my gpu working on %99 but cpu is on %30 I did not had a heating issues and I think these values are good compare to other laptops but I am curious about usages can anyone help me about this?

[pearl vine]

im following the reddit post but im stuck on where to paste the line of text

[modest cargo]

make a new empty desktop folder.
copy and past hosts into that folder.
open the hosts file in new folder and add 127.0.0.1 at the very bottom, press TAB, add cdn-11.eft-store.com and SAVE it

[viral flame]

i uesd that one and it worked and yea just make a new folder

[modest cargo]

drag that new hosts over the one in your system folder. download the game. then remove the added line AFTER you download and install the game

youll notice 2 things if it works, the game will go to 50gb from 32gb. and itll download slightly faster.

[pearl vine]

legends thank you

[modest cargo]

if you edit the hosts file for a fix, you shouldnt have to repair.

you should be able to download and go, if your stuck at 0 let me know, and ill help you with that also

[uncut obsidian]

i think he went the other route

[dusty valve]

yo geci, just had some error come up at 75% error repair XD said there was no channels to DL from? weird af? fuck knows gonna leave it , it seems to be conuining DL? anyone else tell u about that issue?

godi hope iot works its been four hours waiting XD @uncut obsidian

[modest cargo]

yeah, if hes repairing he did for sure lol

[uncut obsidian]

it will verify game files and download the missing ones

[granite inlet]

so it will be 127.0.0.1 (tab) cdn-11.eft-store.com below whats already inside the file correct?

[modest cargo]

Yes. Correct. Make a backup of the original hosts file as well, just for safe measure.

[granite inlet]

okay done, lets hope this works. finally wanna play after not being able to since early 2024

or i havent messed a step up

[crude pelican]

@uncut obsidian it finally worked, thanks a lot bro. u tha best

[uncut obsidian]

enjoy, and good luck

[proper inlet]

I sent an email a couple of days ago and haven't received a response yet. Could someone please help me with this?

[uncut obsidian]

with what?

[modest cargo]

Is the download 50gb now instead of 32gb?

[granite inlet]

Nope

32 036MB

[modest cargo]

Then you didn’t save. Make a new folder on desktop, copy hosts into that folder. Add the new line and save. Then copy that over the hosts file in your system folder.

Make sure you keep a backup of the original hosts file though

[granite inlet]

Where do i put it? At the very bottom below the last line? As its 127.0.0.1 cdn-11.eft-store.com saved into the original folder with the original file as a back up on my desktop

[uncut obsidian]

it's a .txt file i assume 👀 but it's supposed to be a file without extension

[granite inlet]

Since the hosts folder has a bunch of stuff already in so I put it below the last line with a # at the start

[proper inlet]

about my account, try to get a verify code but never sending a code. i already send it a email to BSG but nobody respond

[granite inlet]

Lemme check 😂 i havent had a pc since 2024 so I have to relearn everything again lmao

okay its fully downloading o7

[static bloom]

having issues with installing the game every time i download it at the very end it comes up with this error, "C:\Battlestate Games\BsgLauncher\Temp\eft_live_1.0.4.6.44802.bsgp downloaded file checksum does not match" does any 1 know how to fix

tried uninstalling launcher and re downloading it and deleted all files from the temp folders

[uncut obsidian]

check pinned messages in this channel

[static bloom]

so i do this?

[lofty nest]

Try to download the game in launcher, if it starts downloading around 50 gigs it worked

[modest cargo]

Step 1: Make new folder on desktop
Step 2: Make backup of hosts file and copy it to the new folder.
Step 3: Add 127.0.0.1(TAB BUTTON) cdn-11.eft-store.com NO SPACES, just hit tab in between. SAVE.
Step 4: Drag new hosts file into the windows/system32/drivers/etc and REPLACE the original.
Step 5: Download and install EFT and AFTER you do, replace the edited hosts file with the orignal one again so its back to normal. Enjoy.

[solemn pivot]

Hi, I keep getting checksum error 108003 in the Battlestate Launcher every time the Tarkov download finishes. The game is not installed and the files get removed automatically. I already followed the official checksum fix steps and tried reinstalling the launcher, clearing temp/cache, changing install location, running as admin, and redownloading multiple times, but nothing works. Any help?

[uncut obsidian]

please read above, and the pinned messages

[solemn pivot]

yes this

[uncut obsidian]

#community-support message

[solemn pivot]

aah thnx

[pine idol]

download is at 11mb/sec. Is that normal?

[brave scroll]

I got nikitas voice on twitch drops when playing as a bear. I prestiged and choose USEC. Should i have nikitas voice? Or is it glitched?

[solemn pivot]

same here

[trail prairie]

thats what mine is at unfortunately. makes the checksum error more frustrating

[solemn pivot]

normaly i download around 100 ~ 200 mb/s

tarkov download servers probably to slow

[pine idol]

I just hope by the time its done downloading the error is fixed. Fingers crossed

[solemn pivot]

yeah im trying the same

[icy charm]

yo it finally finished some time ago and it works now, thanks A TON dude

[solemn pivot]

did u add this to the host file: 127.0.0.1 cdn-11.eft-store.com

[pine idol]

Yea

[solemn pivot]

same here lets hope its fixed

[trail prairie]

im doing the host file from the reddit so im hoping, been playing this game for years and finally come back after a while to check out 1.0 and for 2 days cant download it

[uncut obsidian]

it has to download 50266 MB instead of 32000

[solemn pivot]

they should already have a fix for this problem. look how many people have the checksum error

[pine idol]

Was just playing when 1.0 dropped. This is ridiculous. Welcome to Tarkov

[pine idol]

Yes its at 50gb

[solemn pivot]

yeah

i just bought the pve mode. how is it?

[trail prairie]

well thanks for that cause mine is wrong then lol im at 32000

[solemn pivot]

i think u didnt do it correct then

[modest cargo]

Step 1: Make new folder on desktop
Step 2: Make backup of hosts file in windows/system32/drivers/etc and copy it to the new folder.
Step 3: Edit the new hosts file and Add 127.0.0.1(TAB BUTTON) cdn-11.eft-store.com NO SPACES, just hit tab in between. SAVE.
Step 4: Drag new hosts file into the windows/system32/drivers/etc and REPLACE the original.
Step 5: Download and install EFT and AFTER you do, replace the edited hosts file with the orignal one again so its back to normal. Enjoy.

[pine idol]

Its decent. easier than running into 6000hr players

[solemn pivot]

lets hope it worth the money

[uncut obsidian]

wrong

you need to remove # from last line

[solemn pivot]

not really

[uncut obsidian]

yes really

[modest cargo]

and the spaces in front of where 127.0.0.1 is

[uncut obsidian]

you don't have it commented XDD

[modest cargo]

tab in between no spaces

[uncut obsidian]

kratje pelase refrain from spreading false information and discredit my suggestions

[alpine canyon]

the drops were two separate voice packs

one for usec one for bear

[pine idol]

mine is like this but w/o the "#"

[solemn pivot]

false information? im showing what i did and it worked

[uncut obsidian]

yes but you claimed he does not need to remove '#', which was a false statement

[modest cargo]

this is how it is supposed to be.

[uncut obsidian]

correct

[solemn pivot]

yup

[pine idol]

Should i stop my download and edit it again?

[uncut obsidian]

is it 32gigs or 50?

[pine idol]

50gb

[trail prairie]

is the host a file or txt doc? i may have messed up

[uncut obsidian]

then no u're fine

[pine idol]

Thanks

[uncut obsidian]

it's a file without extension

not a TXT or .DOC

hi friends when i play pve occasionally with my friends, ½-70% of the time someone gets 'one or more errors occured in matchmaking' why only in pve this happens? is it on my end?

[boreal sky]

Killa keeps spawning early in factory event and jumpscaring me. I thought they both spawn at 9 mins

[lavish apex]

Wow he can spawn early? I have not been able to find him

[boreal sky]

I had him spawn at 15 mins. 19 mins and 12 mins one after another. Each time he gets me

[lavish apex]

i only find him consistently at the 10 minute remaining park that's interesting but idk if he spawns differentlky on pvp vs pve

cause on pve he also is 10 mins for me

check the pins

there is multiple solutions, if you dont wanna jump through hoops then wait for bsg to update

the reddit post with the hosts file solution would be easiest and should be tried first

with the change in hosts i got 50GB downloading before it was only 33GB

[elder orbit]

then you did it correctly

@weak spade if your hosts file is gone just make a new one called hosts everything in the file initally is all just comments - none of it does anything and you dont need any of them, just make hosts and add what needs to be added

hey quick question to the community, i was playing recently after the updates and i noticed that the when ever i have a red thorax and red limb in general that is severely damaged (no bleeds) i noticed that when i try to heal my character thorax it starts to heal the limb over the red thorax that is critically damaged. Anyone noticed this as well because i recall that before the updates my character would heal the red limbs first

[bold jolt]

[timber nymph]

Hi, I'm a new Tarkov player and when I play as a Scav in customs, or Scav in general, the game freezes and stops responding at "100% creating loot pools". I have 16GB of RAM and a Ryzen 5 5500. When I play as a PMC, everything runs fine.

[gritty badge]

You don't have enough ram, if you scroll up there's people talking about setting up a page file, you should try that to fix your issues

[timber nymph]

thanks bro

[timid pond]

can someone help me with error code 108003

the guide pinned isnt working for me or im doing it wrong

[weak spade]

[heady crown]

As of the moment, I dont think so

[weak spade]

alright pls lmk when u know it

[heady crown]

million dollar company btw*

[weak spade]

yh crazy

[neon plume]

I don't know if this is the right channel to ask, but I'm only now deciding to delve into the clothing options, So I've had Tarkov since 2017ish and also have EOD. I'm told I'm supposed to have the USEC Veteran upper and lower for having EOD and USEC Legionnaire Olive Upper and USEC Legionnaire MC Lower for having pre-ordered any edition of the game. I'm assuming I'm missing the BEAR ones as well but my character is USEC right now.

I don't have any of these, what do I do?

[velvet ridge]

i would probably contact bsg support to see if they can help

[viscid goblet]

that reddit post helped me fix my game thanks

[velvet ridge]

Hey, i cannot load into customs at all, its always stuck on loading loot 100%, then it boots me from the server. my gpu and cpu are not the issue though i have 16 gb of ram. I have an nvme ssd that has tarkov installed in it and I have my page file at 40000 mb. My settings are also all on low and I have cleared my cache/log files on tarkov. I just want to play the game man 😭 what can I do to somehow fix this?

[cedar sand]

Please show your page file settings

[cold sail]

hit me up in dms

[bold jolt]

explain a fix here multiple people having this issue

[cold sail]

Issue is the pins explain it the same way i would tbh its just easier showing someone how to do it than reading a pin 😄

ill type something out hang on

[shell mesa]

I didnt see the pin message and failed to look for others have issues before typing out message. i am attemting the download now with the change to host like the pin said to do

[floral oak]

this sounds extremly dumb but after you edit the file for avoiding the bsg bad connection restart your PC then clear the bsg file off your pc download as admin fixed it for me wiating to see if the full download works

[cold sail]

right im going to post a step by step guide hopefully the mods allow this and pin

i've helped over 20 people so far and each one of them is currently fixed and playing the game with this method

damn i got muted

for trying to post the guide 😄

[uncut obsidian]

It's insane how he copy pasted my guide and claims he discovered it. I knew from the beginning this doctor/engineer is looking to collect some credit 😂
@cold sail
Tsk tsk tsk

Also, my method isn't even the quickest or best one out there, for 90+% of people it's the host file method....

[gaunt quarry]

No

[random ingot]

????

[gaunt quarry]

Check pinned messages

[random ingot]

my bad, i dindt know that its yours

[uncut obsidian]

Check pinned messages, this guide isnt neefhal's, it's mine

He claims it's his method, but he was the 500th. Person i helped and he was 'too eager'

[final oyster]

Thank but i need a dev answer if possible, in order to be sure

[rare warren]

hello can you take something out of insurence or post mail at all m

[random ingot]

well your method works so thx

[uncut obsidian]

Devs dont answer here tbh

[final oyster]

All I can do now is wait until next week and wait. 😭

[uncut obsidian]

@leaden basalt imagine, that other dude @cold sail made a youtube vid copy pasting my guide claiming it's his😂😂 so much for creating stuff on the internet

[gaunt quarry]

Check topic of the channel. There is no devs here

[plain mason]

I JUST got scammed by prapor in insurance. so i claimed my insured rig and helmet and it went straight to my charracter. then suddenly, back end error. when i relog, my insurance is missing a plate carrier and the helmet that i wore and its not on my character either. so is there a way to get it back or am i just fucked?

[random ingot]

pretty sure its some 228 error code bug for everyone

[jade totem]

can u please send me the fixing video please

[stiff zenith]

Launcher starting, but it can't load to the normal interface. Deleting BSG in appdata doesn't work.

[stiff zenith]

Well, this is how it looks. Sometimes (1 in 50 tries) it can load and I can play. But i don't really like wasting 30 minutes to start launcher.

[weak spade]

anyone fixed this

[random ingot]

look in pinned

[weak spade]

yooo im in bro
