@slim spruce any ideas mate?
When did you change it last?
This seems to be a network problem on our end.
out of curiosity why do you need to keep changing your name? :/
changed it for a joke at the start of the wipe
Either it's a problem with the servers and it can't change or the name is taken.
Not a server issue brother they messaged him back saying he needs to be the one to change it
I think they interpreted it as "please change my name" and they replied based on that
Ahh ok ahahah
Anyone know when the dynamic loot event finishes?
They have already altered it matey
ah nice one, what have they done differently?
Ledx are now a 100% spawn and can spawn anywhere and fence has a new task as well if you have good scav karma
thank you
@vivid briar Logical solutions said that the 100% or whatever increase that happened on the list of items, was just for example 100% increase in relation to it's spawn rate before the increase
so if it was 10%, it'd be 20% now. just example
Dm me your settings
PostFX is really huge on RAM if you have it on
I'd turn it off or fill up your remaining ram slots with how cheap RAM is
Thanks i had the same problem, although i use postfx to make my game look more colorful
why am i getting shot at by scavs when my karma is .29
Ah thought you had 16 misread
I mean you can try turning it off and seeing how it goes
anyone having issues connecting to server? everytime i try to load in a raid i get server connection lost after 2ish min of loading. tried verifing files or w.e in the launcher. didnt have any issues last night so not sure what coujld have changed
Are you in a lobby with someone?
What's the letter Abt?
see the quest Fence has
I'm trying to put a helmet on from one of my rigs but its giving me a critical move error over and over
I have a problem, whenever I look a certain way in any map, there will be a blinding light, and it makes it impossible to do anything. I've uninstalled and reinstalled game and launcher, updated and reinstalled drivers, and googled. Does anyone have any other possible solutions
whats your settings?
clear the cache
for graphics or game?
both
how do I clear game cache
jesus am not suprised with them settings am running a 3080 and not trying for ultra
ive been running ultra for a while, but i think my nvidia changed it, cause last time i changed it, it was to medium
but this problem has only appeared in like the last week
Sometimes after a server crash (or totally randomly) you may have issues reconnecting, sometimes clearing your cache can help, not guaranteed but it can. So, let's get it.

ok im heading into an offline raid with those setting and praying it will work
thanks bro
np mate
:)
Try putting the rig into your stash first.
Otherwise you might have to sell it as it might be glitched, or you have a glitched hat on.
It was already in my stash. The helmet kept resetting back to its original position in my rig, in my stash
It was because of the Gas mask I was wearing. It was saying it was incompatible even though it was working.
I sold the gas mask, bought a new one and used it and I was fine. Weird.
Glitched items happen.
Sometimes people have to go in naked and die and it fixes it.
lmao rip to those dudes
Like the game still thinks they have a helmet on and they can't ever put one on.
I was in a game and randomly server lost connection and i couldnt re join
didnt work, even with your settings
no matter what i change it always does this
If reinstalling the game and reinstalling your graphics driver with a clean install in the install process (important) doesn't fix this, please submit a bug report.
Ok well thank you guys for your time
Anyone know why unpacking game files takes more then 10gb?
how much more mate?
I donāt know as I ran outta space
I had 40gb available and I downloaded tarkov and it was unpacking game files and ate up the last 20gb I had
let me check mine
And I have to reinstall again
its 19.7 gb on mine mate
Yea I donāt understand how it takes up more then 40gb
Like it will install the game but everytime it gets to unpacking game files thats when all my space goes away
make sure you have fully removed all of the game like all of it go into your c drive and delete the full folder empty your recycle bin also clear other game caches disk defrag? optimisation disk cleanup if ur short on memory even cookies on ur web browser
I did fully removed the game right before this download and I have my recycling bin empty and I already did disk defrag last night and my cookies have been cleared already
any old games? old software? try ccleaner
Only important os files are on my ssd. Itās only 110gb with 40gb of space remaining but tarkov installed before
id try a fresh clean install mate makes 0 sense
Wdym by fresh clean install
Cuz Iāve already removed all tarkov files and tried reinstalling twice and it didnāt work
if its taking more than 20gb then the files must not be fully deleted?
I ran revo uninstaller and deleted all tarkov related files
why are ai scavs and raiders so aggressive against player scavs?
Because you have bad karma for killing other player scavs like a moron
scavs are scavs your suuposed to work together
i have -0.1
from killing other player scavs if you wanna fix this 1 stop killing scavs when your a scav and 2 do a car extract when your a pmc will give you 0.7 i think will cost you a bit more than usual because you have bad rep with Fence
is 0.1 too low?
oh alr
bro if u legit stop killing other scavs alot of the time other scavs will drop you shit to show there friendly i drop 20 to 30k items all the time to show other scavs i wont kill them
yeah i dont really kill scavs that much
haha you defo have matey to have such bad rep lol are you eod? edge of darkness?
not the worst i seen but if i see raiders and bosses as a scav they dont attack me and if someone shoots me they shoot at them ahaha
theyre making the game so that if your a good scav you get better rewards better loot faster scav times ect...
tf do u want me to do not get loot on my scav or something lmao
lmao idgaf what you do go look for loot like everyone else?
Can't download the game because this error message keeps popping up, any pointers?
help this man
get good kis
lord have mercy
this error message pops up usually
ctrl + alt + del go into your processes and make sure Battle eye or bsg isnt running
thank you for helping him!
Jesus should hire you, you're a godsend.
meow
What does it say exactly?
has anyone played on your acc?
I'm sorry to say that all bans a final, they are reviewed manually before issuing the ban, so it wouldn't be something your friend just did but most likely days ago. They will not reply to any ban appeals.
any way to know what did he do?
could send a list of programs to them and ask them but they pretty much wont ban unless a cheat was detected
are you using a spoofer or something? says blocked not banned
whats the difference between blocked and banned? (we play together thats why i ask)
Hey I just found an error in a Jaeger trade.
Would anyone know why as of 2 days ago when I play tarkov my computer black screens and crashes and restarts I have played many times before and just 2 days ago it started only with tarkov
Hey i received a message of somebody who wanted give me a hack is there some staff at who i can show the screen
In LVNDMARK's discord there's a chat channel to report discord users advertising hacks. In the channel, view pinned messages to see how to copy their Discord user ID
Okay
The inventory check quest does not register for me even though i was in the correct rooms
everytime i try to load the game, it gets stuck on first loading screen x.x what should i do, ive tried the delete the files or whatever, and ive reinstalled tarkov. still doesnt work
error 228 item moving for scav case whats up with that
When you launch the game you can't even get to the main menu?
You might need more room.
it wont even let me start a scav case
Any of them?
none of them it pops error code then boots me to the menus
If even a restart of the game doesn't help please submit a bug report. There may be nothing that can be done besides an account reset in the worst case.
lol im level 51 im not restarting and it dosent help when i restart system
Please submit a bug report.
where do i submit the bug report
In the launcher. They might be able to help you with the problem.
thank man really appricate it
Hello I have a question I preordert Tarkov and I can“t play it.
I preordert it and they send me a email I get the acces when the beta version is released
Check your webpage profile
should be something like
Thank you very much
Yah itās just the background. Nothing loads in after.
First go to my documents / escape from tarkov / delete "local.ini" and restart the game. If that doesn't work go back to that folder and delete "local.ini" and "shared.ini". This resets your graphics settings and shared.ini deletes your key binds. They might be corrupted.
Yah I did this and it still didnāt work
So you can load the launcher, you press play and you get a screen before the menu screen and it just sits there forever? Any movement?
yah i can move my mouse around but other than that, its just the background of the game
This is all I see
i just got this now too
how am i suppose to scav run if i die instantly, i have -0.33 scav rep and die every time to a scav, as soon as i load in
Utilize those paid extractions on Woods/Customs/Interchange
If you able, try and use the co-op extractions on Woods/Interchange/Reserve
do i get better rep?
Yes - a good chunk if you've never used them before ~ +0.25 for your first time
Each time you use it, you get less though
First time = +0.25, second time +0.12, Third 0.06 etc
Each map has its own ticker though so you can use all three maps and get +0.75 @agile birch
k thanks
Have you restarted your game? / Are you trying to connect to a high ping server?
Hi, tarkov for me is unplayable, is disconnects me randomly, I've tried a few fixes but the problem didn't go away, any ideas?
Are you getting disconnected the second you connect? Or can you kind of run around for a little bit
buy internet
I can run around for some time
On the top right, what's your average ping?
But some raids, it disconnects me instantly
Uh, it deosn't appear unless it disconnects me
When the avg ping shows up on my screen, I know that it will most likely disconnect me
@vivid briar the internet is good, idk whats wrong
So personally, when I hit above ~135 ping it disconnects me, but some people have said over 165 will boot you - I would go to your launcher and manually select servers
You're playing on a wired connection i'm presuming?
Yes
It shouldn't be that bad if you're selecting only under 50 ping servers
no
Exactly, for some reason it is
Your firewall isn't blocking anything Tarkov related is it?
Do you see a number or a symbol when you're DCed on the top right?
No i'm asking you which one ; Number or Symbol?
Both
That's really just you ping spiking
Okay, can I somehow fix it? I've heard that i should use a vpn but I dont wanna waste my money..
What servers are you playing on?
London, netherlands, austria, germany and france
Might I suggest selecting only 2 at a time?
Okay
Try and troubleshoot to see if it's one of the servers that is causing problems is all I can really suggest at that point
Mkay, how do I troubleshoot?
Do what I said, select London & Netherlands
Play for a day multiple raids
Then try again Austria & Germany
Okay
I selected london and netherlands, and now im stuck in awaiting session start
Server connection lost
help i'm getting constant 1 fps drops mainly on reserve and when i did a scav run it instantly disconnected
Specs : 1060 6 gb ram 16 gb , cpu i 5 7400
game settings : recommended in nvidia geforce or medium
Bought the game today, keeps crashing everytime I try to join a game or go into the hideout, I've tried disabiling antivirus and opening as administrator etc, but nothing has worked so far
Doesn't seem to work
So you tried London & Netherlands and you lost connection?
Yep
Try the other two set of servers now
It'll take some time because im trying to reconnect and extract asap
why scav are angry at me when i'm playing as a scav
Anyone under a -1.00 Karma is KOS during this event (Might not be an event and may be a change)
Fence karma level?
It's happening to me as well - are you binding them in raid or out of raid?
Only thing I can really think of is the personal settings/properties folder is set to read only (locally)
Server connection lost again
You're getting red/high numbers and dcing?
Are you just starting out? First day?
No
When did these problems start?
Since the very first raid/s
So you've always played with dcing issues since day one?
I got some good raids, but way too often random dc, yes
hmm, if you're completing entire raids then I don't know.
Last thing I can suggest for you is, reinstall the game with your firewall/antivirus disabled - I can't troubleshoot any further than that personally
Just the game
Alright
"Awaiting session start" all evening.. can't someone please write "This is beta"
Are you loading in to a scav?
No, normal raid.. trying St Petersburg server now, lets see if that works
When it says awaiting session start for more than 3 minutes it tends to be just bugged and have to confirm leave...
would anyone be willing to get in a call an try to help me figure out why im only getting like 50 frames.
3900x 3090 with 32gb ram
Oh I was wondering where that message went
@vivid briar What map are you trying to run?
@slim spruce dam that sucks
You have your drivers updated i'm guessing?
yes sir
around - 50
help i'm getting constant 1 fps drops mainly on reserve and when i did a scav run it instantly disconnected
Specs : 1060 6 gb ram 16 gb , cpu i 5 7400
game settings : recommended in nvidia geforce or medium
That would be the reason the scavs shoot you.
if you mean -5.0
-0,5
I'm not sure of the specifics, but negative is not good.
Is this first raid of the day?
I dont get the verification code like i cant even log in on the website so i cant get the launcher
Even in spam folder?
yup
You will still need an email verification to log into the launcher but that might work, as some people have the problem with only one of the two.
š
im stuck on shorline in a bush behind a box and can't jump out its at the weather station
alrighty, has something changed with scav behaviour, we are going into scav runs and my friend is constantly hostile to scavs without ever engaging them
fence is neutral 0.33 rep
Is there a difference between the Emelya Rye Crutons and the Rye Crutons?
what do i do when the mentor gives a bad callout getting me to accident tk
after calling me and this other guy retarted
a sherpa? might just be mad. sort of unprofessional
With the name he has is it suprising?
I literally can't enter the hideout without the game crashing saying it has been terminated with an error
When I use PayPal to try and upgrade to the max version of tarkov it doesnāt work any one know why it charges me than instant refunds but doesnāt get back on my card until a few hours later
Is the card linked to your address your paying from? try a different browser
Yes
Clear the cache and restart the game
Have done this a few times
Iāve done both and at the end of the transactions it says failed try again
But still charges me and only refunds after a few hours
Could be a payment server issue why dont you just use your card?
I can try but last time the whole verification with the some odd cents charged to the card thing didnāt work
Thanks for the suggestions though Iām going to try again here shortly
This is just frustrating coz I bought the game and can't even access the hideout, I've tried re installing too
I had this problem at the very start of buying the standard edition but it almost seemed to fix itself over night so idk @rancid island
as in the game would crash when loading in?
Oh no the explained hideout issue
Oh yea sorry Iām confused yes thatās what I was talking about I had the same issue and it fixed over night
that's so weird lol, bc it wasn't just the hideout it was also me trynna get in games too, but that has fixed itself
Yea trying to upgrade my tarkov to the max edition isn't working at all on the website it just says "your payment has been cancelled"
Try paypal? Otherwise contact xsolla support
Your bank might block the purchase to Russia
No paypal isnt working at all either how do I contact Xsolla
Thank you so much

᲼᲼᲼᲼ ᲼᲼Most Common Fixes
Please review these before the FAQ
- Right-click the launcher, and select "Run as administrator"
- Click the drop-down arrow at the top right of the launcher (Refer to image below)
- Check for updates -> Clear cache -> Integrity Check
- Verify your drivers are up to date. Depending on your graphics card, you can download the latest drivers here:
Nvidia: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
AMD: https://www.amd.com/en/support
Intel: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/80939/Graphics-Drivers
OPTIONAL FIXES - These may also help, but it is recommended you search the FAQ before trying these.
- Delete the files local.ini and shared.ini in your Documents -> Escape From Tarkov folder. These are your settings which you will have to reset manually. Verify game integrity after doing this.
- Do a completely fresh reinstall. Uninstall the game, make sure there are no remaining folders for Battlestate Games, such as in your Documents folder and appdata. To get to your appdata folder, hold the Windows key (or command key) first and press R; this should open "Run" in which you will type %appdata% and click okay. Repeat the same process with %temp% file. With that done, you should find the Battlestate Games folder; delete this folder as well. You should then be clean for a reinstall.

Q: How long does it take for the official support to get back to me?
A: It usually takes 3-5 business days to get a response but it might take longer depending on the workload, holidays, urgency of the request, etc. There's no official/expected response time. Note that ban appeals must be sent to Battleye, not BSG.
Q: When trying to access Tarkov's website, I can't get past the captcha, it always resets itself.
A: The first thing you can try, is to go to your time settings in Windows, turn off auto-sync and then re-enable it, see if that did the trick. If you've installed any antivirus, e.g Malwarebytes, BitDefender, Windows Defender, etc., disable their online protection in the applications settings, they seem to block captchas. Turn the protection back on after the captcha is completed and you're logged in. Note, Windows Defender may reactive itself if you disable your other antiviruses, be sure this gets disabled as well.
Q: I don't seem to receive the verification code sent via email.
A: Look at the thread below for tips regarding the issue or try to add BSG's email to your contacts so your email provider knows it's coming from a trustworthy source. If nothing seems to work, best to create a support ticket or send them an email at support@battlestategames.com
https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/111372-not-recieving-an-e-mail-verification-code-from-launcher/page/47/?tab=comments#comment-1896140
Q: I can't change my email while being logged in, it's greyed out.
A: It's not possible to change it yourself anymore, as you will need to open a support ticket to get it changed. When doing so, provide a solid reason you'd like to have it changed. If you are unable to access your account, please send the support an email (support@battlestategames.com) and they will help you there.
Q: When trying to purchase Tarkov on the official website with my Credit/debit Card, Gift Card, Bank transfer, etc., I always get an error and it cancels the purchase.
A: Some payment methods get blocked, PayPal seems to work best when trying to purchase this game. If it still doesn't work, get in touch with Xsolla as they handle the purchases.
Q: When trying to purchase Tarkov on the official website with my Credit/debit card or Bank transfer I get error 3032.
A: This means the payment method is blocked by the Xsolla payment system, and the most common cause is that a forced chargeback has been done with this payment method. Contact Xsolla support below for more help to resolve this issue.

Q: I've successfully bought Tarkov and logged in on the official website, but when trying to download the launcher, it won't let me download it/it's not displayed there.
A: If you cannot see your transactions shown at the bottom right of your profile on the webpage, please wait up to an hour (maybe up to a day!) and check back every so often (refreshing page). If you see the transaction but cannot manage to download the launcher, try using the download link below. Also, make sure the payment is not still pending on your payment method - if it is, wait until the payment is processed all the way. If it is not pending anymore and it's been over 24 hours, please contact Xsolla support. Other methods should not have this issue, such as PayPal.

Q: I'd like to request a refund for this game.
A: That is not possible. When you've purchased the game, you've agreed to the Terms of Service and EULA which state that it's not possible to request a refund.
Q: I got banned in-game, even though I've done nothing wrong!
A: As BattlEye handles the in-game bans, you'd need to send in an appeal on BattlEye's website first to get unbanned, then let BSG know you got unbanned and create a support ticket for it on the official website of Tarkov. If your account got disabled/blocked, create a support ticket and go from there.

[ Launcher / Installation Issues ]```
į²¼
Q: My launcher is installed but when I try to open it, it doesn't open at all.
A: This can be solved by reinstalling "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64)" - not repair - uninstall and reinstall from the Microsoft website, which is linked below. You will be looking for "x64: vc_redist.x64.exe" on that page. Reboot after installing it and you should be good to go.

Q: I always get a "Checksum error" when trying to install Tarkov.
A: The solution that worked for the most users is explained in the video below. Please note, this video contains a lot of profanity and offensive content, but overall is a great resource.

Q: I see an error saying "Error 104006: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when trying to install the game.
A: Please read the footnote before attempting this. First, try opening the launcher as admin. If that doesn't work, clear the launcher's cache by clicking your name at the top right > Settings > Clear cache. If this does not help, reinstall the launcher. If that does not help, Reinstall the launcher on the same drive that your Operating System (Windows) is installed to and install the game to a separate folder named "Escape from Tarkov" (not in C:\ ... Try C:\Program files\Escape From Tarkov\ [HERE] ). After the game is installed on C you can move the game folder to another drive, like an SSD, and, in the launcher, "choose an existing installation" and point to that folder on your SSD with the game files, and let it scan it and you should be good to go. If not, you may need to delete a registry key (or use CCleaner and "delete"(not uninstall) "Escape from Tarkov" game (not the launcher!) entry in the "uninstall a program" list - This is easiest!) then reinstall the game where you want it to be. If you don't have CCleaner please first create a restore point on your C drive by going to Start > type "create a restore point" and click on the drive where your Windows is installed (C:) and then "create" and name it anything you'd like. After that is done (to be sure you can undo this if you do the wrong thing), go to Start and type "registry editor" and right-click the registry editor and open it as administrator. Browse to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\EscapeFromTarkov and delete the folder "EscapeFromTarkov" on the left. Then try to reinstall the game. You may need to install it to C with the launcher on C as well if you still have this problem. You may need to delete that registry entry again if you got the error after deleting it, and after you install the launcher to C to troubleshoot further. This problem is caused by having the game previously installed to another drive (or drive letters were changed due to a new drive added!) and the launcher is confused.
- If you just changed or added a drive and this happened, you might be able to fix this problem, easily, by changing the drive letters of your previous drives (not C ) back to what they were, before this change/new drive, in Disk Management (right-click Start > Disk Management and right-click the drive and "change drive letter"). Note, changing drive letters may cause some issues with anything installed to any of these drives. Doing so may also fix some problems with programs on the drives that were changed when this problem happened. This second option may fix various other programs having the same issues but may result in data loss. Thus, it is advised to back up your data externally before attempting this.
Q: When trying to download Tarkov or just an update, I get a speed of 0MB/s, why's that?
A: First, right click the launcher's icon and run as administrator. If you still have the problem, wait about 5 minutes with the download attempting to continue, as this can fix itself. If not, turn off all antiviruses, including windows defender. If this does not work, open Powershell as an administrator and type in the following commands: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled and hit ENTER, then follow it up with this command netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal and then attempt to update again.

Q: Whenever I try to download the game or an update, it keeps getting stuck at a certain % or just fails, doesn't matter how long I wait for it.
A: It's likely that the servers the launcher is trying to get the files from are having connections issues, thus failing the installation. You can either try to download the game/update with a VPN enabled or go into C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Battlestate Games\BsgLauncher\Logs, open the latest log (not cef.log) the launcher created with Notepad or similar and get help in the #community-support channel. Please don't attach this file to a public channel as it contains private information! If this is for an update, if it's been stuck for a long time (>30 minutes), X out the launcher and reopen it and run a file integrity check from the menu at the top right > click on your name. Then try to update again after it is complete.
Q: I'm getting the "the process is being used by another program" error for a specific file.
A: Either try to start the launcher with admin rights or Open Task Manager > Performance > Resource Monitor at the bottom > CPU > Associated Handles > Look for the file with the search bar and see which process uses it > Right-click > End process. Also try disabling all antivirus software, especially Windows Defender, temporarily, if this is for installing the game. Also, add the game and launcher directories to your antivirus' exclusion/whitelist to prevent any further issues.
Q: I'm getting "Game launch error - ERROR 103003 - Access is denied"
A: Make sure to run both launcher and game as administrator and either make an exception in your Antivirus for the game's launcher and game file folders or turn it off for the time being - even Windows Defender.
Q: I'm getting different kinds of BattlEye installation/startup errors when trying to play the game.
A: Please refer to the official FAQ from BattlEye below, as they've listed quite some solutions to errors users have encountered thus far.

[ In-Game / Technical Issues ]```
į²¼
Q: My game starts in Window mode only and I can't seem to change it back via the in-game settings.
A: The most simple solution would be to press ALT + ENTER. If that doesn't work, go into Documents\Escape from Tarkov, open the local.ini file with Notepad or similar, look for "FullscreenMode": 0, and change it to a 1, then save the file. If this doesn't work, delete the local.ini file and that will reset your graphics settings and resolve the issue.
Q: My whole PC shuts down while playing Tarkov and then instantly reboots.
A: As it's highly unlikely that the game is causing this, the next logical thing would be that one of your components is faulty / has a malfunction / overheating or that it can't allocate the power needed to play this game. This also may be a result of an improper overclock. There's no generic fix for that. You'd need to test each component separately to know what's causing this. The only thing you can do is to monitor the temperatures and usage of your components with Task Manager (for the usage) and HWMonitor for the temperatures and see if overheating is the issue. If not, test your RAM with Windows built-in tool "Windows Memory Diagnostic" or MemTest86 for a more advanced user.
Q: My PC tends to give me a blue screen while playing this game, why?
A: To know what's causing the blue screen, it'd be necessary to analyze the .dmp file Windows created when it happened. It should be located in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\Minidump. Once found, leave a message in the community-support channel and someone will help you analyze it.
į²¼
Q: My game keeps crashing with a Unity error / without errors. What can I do to resolve this?
A: There's no generic fix for that, but it generally helps to completely uninstall your graphic drivers and do a CLEAN (important) installation via AMD or NVIDIA's website, make sure to be on the latest Windows update, start the launcher and game as administrator, disable "Fullscreen optimization" via the game .exe's Properties > Compatibility tab. Other than that, you can check what Windows Event viewer says about those crashes, they'll be listed as a "critical event". Once found, double click on it to receive further information on what made the game crash (Faults module name) and then go from there.
Q: I'm getting stutters/freezes while playing, and it only happens with Tarkov.
A: Your RAM or disk is likely the cause of it. Monitor the usage of your components via Task Manager while playing and see if any of your components have a high usage (85-100%). The next best thing is to check your disk's health with software you can find online or let Windows check for any disk errors. If there's nothing wrong with it, check your RAM sticks with Windows integrated "Memory Diagnostic" tool or Memtest86 for the more advanced user. Also, make sure to be above the recommended system requirements. The solution that worked for most people is to increase your pagefile size (virtual memory) to 8000 minimum and 15000 maximum (suggested to start with), but keep in mind that this could also cause Windows to have issues. If your Windows drive is a mechanical hard drive, moving the page file (virtual memory) to an SSD can help this problem. Make sure you only have one page file by making sure all other drives in 'Paging file size for each drive' say 'none', otherwise this may cause significant performance issues.
Q: While attempting to start the game, it won't get past the first/second loading screen.
A: Go into Documents\Escape from Tarkov and delete the local.ini file and then restart Tarkov. If this does not fix the problem, go to the same file location and delete the shared.ini file and local.ini file again. Keep in mind, that this will reset your settings for Tarkov, so if you want to keep them, backup both of the .ini files first before deleting them.
Q: I always seem to get "Server connection lost" while playing Tarkov, be it as a Scav or PMC, all other games work fine and it's not my internet.
A: There's no generic fix for that; it's a common issue some users encounter. The provided solutions may or may not work for some users. Some users managed to solve it by playing with a VPN, switching to a wired connection and not using Wifi, or turning off IPV6 in your Windows' network adapter's settings. Also, if nothing works, this might be an ISP issue related to them being IPV6 only - and that is not something you can fix on your end. You can attempt to reach out to your ISP and ask for them to get prioritized IPV4 support for your network as ISPs that are pure IPV6 seem to be the cause of this problem on Escape from Tarkov. This may require asking for tier 2 support as your ISP may not know what you're talking about. Note that this seems to be a more common issue in Europe as they are moving to IPV6 only faster than other countries.
į²¼
Q: The icons of my in-game items all just keep loading/are displayed as another item.
A: Close the game, open your launcher and click on the little arrow in the top right corner that's next to your name and click on "Clear cache", this should reset all of the icons. It will not pop up and tell you it cleared the cache, and that confuses some people.
Q: I always receive an "EBackendErrorCode/518" error when trying to purchase something from the in-game traders.
**A: ** That's because you don't have any room left in your stash to receive the cash, so you just need to make some space for it, it won't go in any containers or the like.
Q: I've video proof of someone cheating in-game, and I'd like to send it to someone to get this person banned. Where can I send it?
A: The only way to report someone is at the death screen via the red triangle (if it was a player). No further evidence is needed. If there is no red triangle next to the person's name who killed you, you died to AI. If the name is not in Russian, it could be from a Raider, Scav Boss, or Scav Boss Guard, all of which are AI.

For videos, upload them to youtube and leave them unlisted and throw a link to the video in the report.
How to get Scav Rep without being a scav? Was told to just extract as my character and I did and didn't get any rep.
I killed someone in raid and all there stuff was not marked as found in raid, I dont mean their loadout either, like lcds, a gas can, a sugar, and all the random stuff they had picked up during the raid
Normally i would have just thought this guy went into raid with something by accident, but it was like 20 mins into the raid and it was random garbage
I have a clip of me killing him and then checking the inventory
how is the teapot on the p90?
you. must use the uber extracts

To fix icon bugs clear your game cache in the Launcher. Click on your name at the top right > clear cache. It will not tell you it did it with a popup or something.

Thanks! Worked perfectly

help i'm getting constant 1 fps drops mainly on reserve and when i did a scav run it instantly disconnected
Specs : 1060 6 gb ram 16 gb , cpu i 5 7400

Sounds like an internet issue not system issue
it only disconnected when I was 1 fps in reserve
And all your other games have been fine? restart your router and if you still have an issue i will send you some settings
nah my main problem is performance issue , my internet is fine
Dm me i will send you the settings i use
Server issues? @slim spruce 45mins been waiting for a scav run in reserve
If it's not "awaiting session start" nor are you in a party with someone, it's probably high demand on the servers.

Ah yes, they should fix their game but ty
You can try to contact BSG about it first, depending on if it's an account or ingame ban. If it's an ingame ban, then you'd also send in an appeal to BattlEye.
@hard shuttle You need to click on "Jump" on the first message, it'll redirect you to the big FAQ.
i think it is my internet and i use ethernet and sometime it just stops then comes back on
its never done this before
Up top you said your internet is fine
Check the pins
@hard shuttle If it only happens with Tarkov, then it's highly unlikely it's your internet. This Server connection lost error is a common problem for people. You can try some fixes, but they don't work for everyone, that's why I suggested to check the big FAQ in the pins for different solutions you can try
Are there any safe and good vpns for free?

hey guys can you help me figure out why only asian servers are showing for me?
Did you ever log into the game with a VPN from that region?
Or is your game from that region?
That region is region locked, and games that login to that region are permanently region locked to that region.
im temporarily travelling to india
so that means my account is gone? i have a USA account originally
When you get back I'd see if you can see other regions, but if not, you might need to buy a new account if you can't see servers other than that.
on the tarkov shooter it says i need to kill scavs with bolt action rifle from over 40 metres, with iron sight, what is iron sight?
iron sight is no scopes
just the sights on the gun
ProtonVPN, but the free version only has servers in the US, Japan and the Netherlands. Keep in mind that free VPNs majority of the times are bad for your privacy as they keep logs and all that and are stationed in the US, which is even worse. ProtonVPN is your best choice as they're based in Switzerland = privacy guaranteed.

No idea why, but my PC started randomly restarting again when loading inā¦ā¦ as soon as you get sound effects from the raid it crashes my PC. Had the whole thing checked top to bottom and there were no hardware problemsā¦. Clean install of Tarkov time? @frozen forum
Sounds like a driver issue
Already did a clean install of graphics driversā¦. Could be a sound driver issue not sure
Wouldnt close your pc to restart have you upgraded any hardware sounds like a power draw
That has been tested. Just got it back from a top to bottom hardware check. It was doing this like over a month ago so I had the whole PC tested and they found no issues. Iāve been playing since august 30 with 0 issues and now it
Returnsā¦. Just seems like an odd crash to get out of nowhere
Check Windows reliability history or Windows Event Viewer to see what the critical events say about this, sounds like a hardware issue, but hard to tell
Kernel Power-41 is the issue. Idk if you remember but I was having this same issue about a month ago. Just played for nearly 3 weeks with no issues whatsoever.
Thats a Psu issues
Or the even I should say
What are your specs?
750W PSU(gold rated if it even matters at this point)
GTX1080
16GB RAM
Asrock Z97 extreme 6 mobo
And an i5 4790k I believe IIRC
Not OCād in any way
Plenty of power then no PSU shortage
Yaaa
Like the build is solid and I had never experienced an issue like this in the 6 years Iāve had the PCā¦.. except once when one of my RAM sticks was junked. But both these sticks run without error on their own
Like the crash is so specifically timed. Every time that āLoading Mapā reaches the point where it introduces sound into the loading screen, I get the crash. Funny thing is right before it started happening again, I was playing a raid on woods with no issue
Temps!!!!
Check your Windows power options, temperatures while playing, test your RAM sticks with Memtest86
Itās just odd that the problem would disappear and then reappear like this
This stuff was all just verified like 3 weeks ago without issue. I canāt really check temps while playing if I canāt actually play lol
open hw monitor and try to load into a game
1 monitor boy
sounds like ur gpu needs re-pasting

Casually tab out once in a while playing and check temps, you can test it in offline mode with mods to make it a bit more realistic performance-wise
and dont call people boy!
That was me calling myself a 1 monitor boy
š¤£
This has got me so frustrated. I just had 3 weeks of this not happening and then all of a sudden 1 raid in to a night it starts again. And I just upgraded to EOD. Fade me
right!

Hey, I'm having trouble getting into games it goes to loading loot pools, after the fact when my character is loading in Tarkov will completely shut down. If I could get a response quick that would be helpful. This is a good game, trying to have patience with it, and I really enjoy playing it

@frozen forum When I Bought Tarkov we had to put tarkov into a folder, this was because the game would not be able too download straight too my pc. After the event it ran perfectly everyday till I logged in today. Today was the only day that I had a problem with said comments above. I'm not getting (Bsod) Bluescreen of death and I looked into my reliability and there was a day that my pc did not turn off properly. I've been able to play other games such as CS:GO and apex legends. So I came here to fix this game that I do enjoy
It doesn't necessarily mean it's your hardware, so you'd have to test a few things, unless event viewer / reliability history tells you what caused the crash. Usually it's a driver

how do i make my game load into raids faster? i seem to take up to 5-7 minutes to load map+loot+lootpools? where as it seems to be literally everyone else loads in less than 3 minutes

aight i reinstalled onto my ssd
ok wow i loaded map the fastest i have ever before
20 seconds... ffs this is what ive been missing
i got a high packet loss error can I do something about it ?
what ive found to be the main cause of packet loss is if you are downloading something
Wi-Fi or ethernet?
Doesn't matter. You can see if it's a problem with your own internet by pinging your own IP or any other IP, it'll tell you the packet loss at the end of each ping test. Or use https://packetlosstest.com/ for example and set the settings as you see fit.
Also, make sure the ethenet cables and adapters you're using (if applicable) are actually capable of transferring the speed/packets you've at home. CAT6 are the best ones in that regard

I hate to distrust a service I paid for.... but my PC was just inspected. They said they stress tested it and there were no issues...... this is driving me nuts and as much as a new PC would be awesome(this PC is 6 years old) I really don't want to spend lmao
Huhā¦ā¦ loaded no issue after switching to balanced
Also turned off discord and all other processes 
Turned discord back onā¦.. crashed instantlyā¦ā¦
So itās been discord all along. 
any experience with this?@frozen forum@slim spruce
hardware acceleration disabled in discord
?
It was... just disabled @slim spruce
That an often culprit of crashes in your experience? Sorry to be an annoyance. Just at my wits end with this
Game and discord crash at the same time, sometimes. Otherwise, if your PC is shutting down that's not usually a game issue.
Who knowsā¦.. Iām about to just throw money away to stop the problem if it persists because I donāt have the patience especially when the culprit is not evident
If RAM fills to max during loading that might restart a PC
And in that case itās basically āget more RAM or a faster CPU correct?ā
If you only have 16GB you could lower the resolution and textures to see if going below max solves the issue.
That and adding page file to an SSD
That one goes over my head, but thanks for the tips
ive started a twitch, but am very new to the platform. everyone is welcome to come join and chill. and any advice on it would also be much appreciated r33f_ttv see ya all there

can someone tell me why the hell my average fps is so low?
AMD RX 570 8gb,
AMD Ryzen 5 2600,
16gb of RAM,
temps fine, low settings, low draw distance, etc
In summary, the Radeon RX 570 4GB is clearly an overpowered bit of hardware for Escape from Tarkov, but it certainly gives you the choice of desired in game visuals.
this is pretty much the general sentiment when I go and look up my specs - I should be getting way more FPS than 35
Also I have an SSD
I need some help
I am trying to reinstall tarkov through the launcher but it just stays at 0 mbps
Also try loading the launcher as admin
If that doesn't help I have some commands for powershell that could help.
IT WORKED

Thank you for your help, I have been so frustrated trying to get this to download because I have only played it once but see lots of videos and it seems like fun. Even thought I literally know nothing about this game lol. @slim spruce

Another issue here.
I remembered why I uninstalled it to begin with. I changed the screen to windowed and now I cannot see the settings button to access them. Can anyone think of a fix for this?
Go to My documents / escape from tarkov / delete "local.ini" and restart the game. That resets display settings.
Thank you!
Hello fellow gamer
do ya play with auto ram cleaner and all that jazz? i'm trying to mess around a bit
i see absolutely 0 difference with ram cleaner on or off as far as idling in the main menu goes. for some reason tarkov usually needs 4gb of memory just sitting there.
no, i dont. currently i am just lowering the resolution to try and lower some of the burde, The main thing is that i am bottlenecked by the CPU
its a little old
the hell is it doing - storing every single tear that i have shed doing jaeger's quests as a byte?

Im looking to trade my red keycard on the flea but I dont want to get scammed because ive never put a barter trade on the flea before. Whats a good trade, i need gpus and how do i not get scammed lol

so im a bit confused
If i barter it are the items i get found in raid?
Nope

Heyaaa, I receive the update notice for the launcher and the game just now, but it appear somehow it broke my game and start "Repairing the Game". It says gonna take more than an hour just by repairing. Should i just reinstall or what?

Depends if repairing would take longer than a redownload.
just wondering is it normal to get 50fps every so often in tarkov? i run mostly interchange and reserve but i usually average about 50-80fps not sure if this is the normal i mostly get 50 fps when i go into the mall and screen gets a little laggy for a millisecond
Sounds normal
alright just checking

Hello I am having an issue with my game that is making it crash
My system is a 6700k, 16gb 8x2ram, and a GTX 760. I am not overclocking any due to the fact that I canāt get the game to run right. So I am running lowest settings at 1080p with anti aliasing on max and object ocd at max. Something close to object____. So the game appears to run fine but without any warning it kicks me out and shows me the Tarkov loading screen but itās frozen. I am still able to move around and shoot and even get killed by the scavs but after about 1-2 mins it crashes and sends me back to launcher
Also I forgot to mention I just swapped the gpu from a r7 260x which ram this game at around 50 FPS. This is pretty much my test rig and Iām testing all the closet gpus
the cpu and gpu have both been repasted with arctic mx-5 about 2 days ago
I just ran a reserve run and it was around 70-80 FPS but met my demise in about 5 mins because I ran into glucose
power limit was set to 70%
bugs on servers after update? spawned in as a scav with 3.0 karma so good karma and being aggroed and attacked by all scavs @slim spruce
Why does the game reset my screen ratio each time I load into raid or leave
need help from a mod
Check your .ini files in your Doucments folder if it's set to the proper ratio / resolution and that it's set to Read-only

?
How do you get the beta code for the game? I preordered the game and recieved a email saying they'll send my beta code but it's been 3 days
There's no codes, your account gets access automatically. Download the launcher that downloads the game here https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/profile
Ah thanks
hello anyone who know how to fix the game aborted problem?
Were you in a game and now you can't connect?
both
You might be dead now. It might take a short while to sync that to you.
yeah i know it was some time ago tried to reconnect but couldn't
Is this the first time this has happened?
yeah its the first day this have happend i could play like yesterday
Try restarting your modem and router as that could solve this.
yeah ill check
anyone got a fix for this.
Gonna be hard to play when I can't loot as quick because I don't get item icons.
same issue here aswell even after clearing cache, the game in general feels a lot slower today
Lemme guess with the fix of Reflex today they some how managed to break icons in some way
wouldn't put it past them, they sometimes change something and manage to break something else that has nothing to do with what they changed or fix
Clearing your game's cache should fix this. In the launcher > top right on your name > clear cache.
No dice, no change. can't accept new quests either.
Anyone knows how can this file be installed ?
Because after downloading the game it poped an error and the installation path was empty with only the Temp file directory containing the 12gb file I downloaded while installing.
I think error retrieving link to upacked distribution backend returned code: 302, message: 302 - invaliad version
I found this on forum because I dont remember the exact error message but I think it was this one.
If it's fully downloaded, as that file will populate when it's first being downloaded and also can't be complete, you can extract it with winrar/7zip into a folder and then set that as an existing installation.
What was the full error?
After I tried to open the 12gb file with winrar I got a msg saying failed to open "name" and it got deleted. And seems like its fully deleted since it cleared space from my ssd as well.
I think I'm just gonna have to redownload it but i was just curious cuz all the times I reinstalled the game that never happened.
Make sure you run the launcher as admin and disable windows defender (or whitelist the launcher and game directory) to make sure there's no problems.
Windows defender is off since ever and the path is whitelisted from my antivirus. Its not antivirus related.
Does anyone else have a bug where the quest system breaks as soon as you complete it? Once I complete a quest I cant accept another one or collect the reward until i restart my game. I have done a few quests today and it's happened every time. I updated my game this morning. Problem with the new patch?
This isnt quite important but I cannot use the windows snipping tool (Shift + win + s) correctrly in tarkov (does ot display my game, shows black screen when trying to snip) . Is there a fix?
Run the launcher as admin
I print screen, and that saved a png to your my documents folder. Crop that image to a jpg
i do that aswell but it's time consuming and wanted to see if there was a fix that would avoid that
Not sure how to fix that snipping tool since the print screen is taken over by another application.
Does the snipping tool work in other fullscreen applications?
yes
alr will do
thanks!
imo just download lightshot : )
Is no one else's game acting supper funky. No icons, moving items makes them flash and not move.
happened to me, restarted and it fixed it. It made everything on my pc lose internet connection tho
Heya it seems like my loot rates are real low, is there a way to change this? I mean 50 dynamic items on interchange seem like nothing I go around loot spawns all the time and there is literally not a single item
If you own the game there should be a big ETS tab in the launcher.
hello , how do I unlock weapon modding , i'm new thanks
The workbench lvl 1
thanks man
Restarted. verified, cleared cache game is still acting hella wonky.
The standard edition counts as "owning the game" right? I do not have any such tab, I have GAME, NEW, FORUM and SUPPORT as my tabs @slim spruce
Even after checking for updates? Please mind we can't talk about the ETS but we can talk about how to sign up for it, due to NDAs.
And try re-opening the launcher.
wtf
I've reopened the launcher maybe 6-7 times today, always had it look like it does with 4 tabs

You are indeed a wizard
So I tried to upgrade and my bank flagged the transaction as fraud. I called them to clear it up and they authorized the payment its been 2 days and the transaction still hasn't gone through.. who should I talk to? because I don't want to try paying for it again and get charged twice.
i got disconnected three times in a row and when i loaded in i was killed by a player? i have good internet why did this happen?
am i gonna get my stuff back because it isnt my fault or no ?
Xsolla handles card payments.
@slim spruce thanks really wish I would have known using debit was a bad idea
welcome to tarkov. No.
game ass
you can always recover, if you are going to be upset over loosing one or two kits to some BS, this game might honestly not be for you.
Its pretty useless contacting them. They are terrible at customer support. I have waited a week for a response
Still cant upgrade my copy of tarkov. Keeps telling me the payment cannot be completed rn. anyone know a work around?
Try paypal, they usually have no problems with payments to Russia.
I have. Still doesnt wanna work
Any error messages besides that?
3032: Sorry, the payment cannot be completed now. Please try again later or contact Xsolla customer support
That error means the payment method or your account is blocked from purchasing, and the most common cause of this is a forced charge back. You will need to contact xsolla about this.
I tried. The problem is them contacting me back. Its been days
They handle the payment processing, not BSG. I don't know what to tell you besides to wait. Sorry.
Id fucking pay someone to send me a gift code for gods sake. Just wanna play
anyone know why my frames are ass on reserve??? its unplayable
how low and whats your srttings?
Debit was weird for me to upgrade mine so instead I used pay pal and it was way easier
So, I don't know much about it, but can you gameshare with someone and play with them?
broken generators?
pretty fkin low it was fine b4
i thought that was some esp lol
No idk what it is.I did The update u experience anything similar?
items when moving just loading and never move had to restart to fix
settings??
I know EFT is bad with multi-core support? Does this mean that I will be getting worse/the same FPS if I upgrade the amount of cores I have? Or would I get better performance with less cores?
more cores is always better, try to get a multithreaded cpu
19 bullets m995 5 to the head 14 to the chest and doesnt even take damage! what the actual fuck!
Must be joking mate there is quite a few cheaters in this server they dont care
If it's exact the same single core and you don't really do taxing background tasks it will be same performance no matter the amount of cores under the assumption you have a quad core rn
Hi guys i have an r7 2700x rx 5700xt and 16 gig ram and im getting 70 fps
Can someone help me getting more fps in tarkov even if i need a new cpu or smth idc
Wait for Devs to optimize 
FIX YOUR FUCKING ANTI CHEAT GAME IS A FUCKING JOKE
š¤Ø
???? 3 bullets 3 headshots why falling from drop down rooom on reserve!
This isnāt the place for it.
tell me the place for it when i spend 14 hours a day every single day on this server in this community support helping people troubleshooting and doing the gprahics settings!
Would need a video of that
Probably not a cheater, more of a server issue
Trying to clip it brother never seen anything like it ping was 60 server issue for all 3 people to die at same time with head eyes we was all dead before he hit he ground
While the fact that he killed you mid air is weird, the fact that he tanked 3hs is probably server related
Perhaps even, due to latency, he was still in the air on your side, but on his POV he was on the ground aiming and shooting
ahh ok my friend is trying to get the clip done he messaged me in russian laughing
and you all died at once because the server caught back and all the sudden, all the information came at once, therefore, you all died at once.
It's a possible explanation
cant copy and paste tho :/ W6DB i think was the server
Hello Im am having an issue with a launcher update When I boot up the launcher it said "Critical Launcher Update, Critical launcher update discovered You need to exit the app - this action will cancel the launcher processes. I have tried to reboot the launcher, restarted and rebooted my computer and nothing. Any ways to help?
More like FIX THE FUCKING 10 feet lag behind DESYNC THATS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR YEARS 
How's your settings I sent you mate? Better and more fps?
š
This game has the worst fuckin desync ive ever seen, I thought Gta was bad.... fuck no. Your hitbox in tarkov lags like 10 feet behind you often
Go to cover behind a wall while getting shot at, you run like 3 seconds behind the wall and still get wrecked. Find it funny they want to make movement inertia and with the current desync paired with inertia its gonna make it 3x worse worse
This will sound weird but i've heard that there is an experimental section of Tarkov where you can test new upcoming things that are coming out soonā¢ļø . I wonder if there is a way where i can sign up to be able to participate or something like that?
Hey everyone! Any idea how much time it takes to get the beta invite post purchase? Been waiting for about 2 hours, should I wait more or continue about my business? š
Should have it instantly
There shouldn't be a delay. You get it instantly even if its a gift
Apparently been waiting for a confirmation email in vain, install button is in profile. š
Thanks guys!
@grim hatch Just 30 minutes ago, I had completed a quest and when trying to receive the rewards, it did the "flashing" animation of items when trying to move it to my stash. I thought it was some sort of internet connection problem, but it just kept "blinking" the items and freezing them. Couldn't even exit back to menu. Had to close the game through task manager. But after restarted the game, had no problems to receive the rewards. Hope it helps if that's what you asked for.
What is the recommended requirements?
Thank you indeed I received a video and details, I think we know what the issue is
Please exain this game is a joke!
Can I get eft with a visa gift card
If you register it for online use on the back of the card, on the website, by attaching your info to it, yes.
Ok
Ok thanks
Not sure if this is the best channel but is there any reason to not buy the EU version of the game?
I'm personally in the EU and want to gift it to an american friend
What is the recommended system requirements to run the game?
That's a server issue. Restart the game.
thank you!
EU version can be played anywhere. To upgrade to to EU version from an NA version costs extra.
ah okay, so just buy the EU version and gift it to him right?
You can purchase the Europe version and he can launch it, yes.
aighty thanks!
This would be under gifts.
hey, i got the game and the launher works but whenever i download the game it gives me this error C:\Battlestate Games\BsgLauncher\Temp\EscapeFromTarkov_live_0.12.11.2.14241.bsgp downloaded file checksum does not match
ERROR: 108003
can someone plz help, ive sent a ticket but they've taken forever and i've tryed a looking it up to no avail
hey i have this weird issue on the forums where the site is loading incorrectly. For example, the backgrounds and things aren't loading, and it looks like a "broken website". It's odd because I am at college right now and the site works fine from home. Could it be my college messing with the website's settings? Thanks in advance.
Check the pins, there's a big FAQ with an answer to your problem
guys i am having random server disconnection error mid raid sometimes i get it every now and then and somedays 0 any help ?
Are you on Wifi?
Hello , anyone could help me? Bought a new pc , tryina to log in to my eft account panel via website , and not receiving verification code to email.
no sir i am on ethernet cable (tried clean reinstal/ restarting router to factory settings / clean reinstal of windows ) nothing helped so far... š¦
Is all you need the launcher?
i cant even log in to the launcher , to download the launcher i was tryina to log in to the website panel , and im not receiving the code for last 10mins
is there any way to fix this?
See here for tips: https://forum.escapefromtarkov.com/topic/111372-not-recieving-an-e-mail-verification-code-from-launcher/page/47/?tab=comments#comment-1896140
i dont even have the launcher , i cant download it without logging in to the panel
thanks
Since the problem seems to be random, it could be problems on your ISP's end. I'd try with no router, as in Ethernet to modem if you have modem + router, to be sure the router is good.
my pc is connected directly to the modem so i guess its a isp problem ? do i need to call em ?
If it goes out again and you have no internet on anything, even on other devices and also on wifi as well, I'd call the ISP and let them know of the outage.
it worked on the first try from the launcher , but still not receiving code for panel's access š
That's good, as if you can't get it from the launcher that could be a sign of a worse issue that may require an email change on BSG's end.
If those tips don't help.
all good , probs it will come later , just happy that can play š
internet wise its only me having the connection problem or uhm its only tarkov other games work fine with no internet problems
Then it could be a server issue on our side if you only lose connection to tarkov.
thx a bunch for the quick help
š
i tried to play on other servers but its all same for me ( central EU servers) czechia and all the close ones with 30 ping and less
so ive gone back in and extracted twice now and it wont register my task. any ideas?
Log: calling UNET::VirtualUserHost::Disconnect because of reason NetErrors::kWrongConnection`- what can I do?
try getting some exp first, maybe you gotta do a survive and not a run through; if not that, i'm not too sure : (
If that's in the ingame console that doesn't mean there's a problem.
òh ok..
ty
@nimble hamlet I literally joined the discord today to ask about that same exact problem
I even went as far as buying a VPN and that didn't work
had no problems past 2 wipes i think ima gonna take a break from tarkov and wait for next wipe hope they fix it š¦
That sucks, last wipe I had no issues at all but suddenly with this new wipe I've been having the random disconnect issues
is possible that tagilla spawns late at raid ? i met him in last 3 minutes, he gave me meelee headshot.... i was not ready for that š
Need help asap
anyone got a working solution for not receiving the confirmation code?
from the launcher?
@slim spruceyes, but its good now... idk what are these bugs... had to login on another pc aswell to force out the codes..
Ok good. Sorry
Iām having a lot of trouble actually installing the game from the launcher
How long do I have to wait for it to finish downloading files? Itās stuck at 0/0 MB
Try launching the launcher as admin.
If that doesn't work disable windows defender.
I tried that already and unfortunately it did not work
I will try disabling
Did not work
Very annoying that I spent 45 dollars on this and the launcher doesnāt even work properly
After I stop the download, the bsglauncher keeps on running in the background using up disk and does not stop when I click end task either
While the download is trying to complete and launcher is running as admin, open Windows Powershell as an administrator and type in the following commands:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled and hit ENTER
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal and hit ENTER again
See if that helps.
Alright, so I got everything cleared out and reinstalled it, when I click install in the launcher it says āthe C:\Battlestate Games\BsgLauncher is not empty. Are you sure you want to install the game into selected folderā.
What should I do here
There is a bsglauncher file within the battle state games folder and a bsglauncher folder outside of it that has all of the data in it
Ok about the launcher, the folder must be empty
So delete everything in it
The bsglauncher folder thatās outside of the Battlestate games folder ?
The one inside of it has just one folder and itās an empty temp folder
If you're installing the game, install it to an empty folder. I thought you meant the launcher.
Try C:\Battlestate Games\Game
Sorry, was misunderstanding.
So create a folder called āGameā in the Battlestate games folder
K well.
I believe the file it downloads is dumped into whatever folder the install location is and itās about 12 GB
It creates that and it shows 12GB until it's completed, it can be empty
It goes to the temp folder
Make sure all antiviruses/firewalls that are enabled are disabled
The file it downloads goes to that temp folder
Then it extracts into the game folder
Should I delete the empty Bsglauncher folder thatās in C:/Battlestate games folder and cut and paste the one that has all of the data in it into the battle state games folder
The launcher and the game files are not the same.
If that file that is downloaded is complete, open it with winrar or 7zip and extract it to a folder and then set that as an existing installation in the launcher.
It can be incomplete if it's just a temporary file, as it will be created as soon as the download starts, to take up that space.
Itās just sitting in temp and thereās still 0/0 MB on the install
Turned off antivirus and firewall
Holy crap itās installing LETS GO.

Turn those all back on after the install is done.
and it's installed.
I'd make an exclusion for the game and launcher folders in the antiviruses, especially windows defender
Anyone know why my pc whines when i have my lights on in the hideout?
Coil whine from a GPU most likely
High usage can cause that
Ahh ok newer to pcs so just wanted to make sure it wasnt death lol
No mine does that at 100% usage
3080
All good.
Ight ight tyvm Sessamy
You can sign up in the launcher tab for it. No more discussion about it as there's NDA.
Does anyone have a solution for the long load times OUT of a raid
Okay so does anyone disconnect constantly but have good internet? Like I have done everything possible to fix it but it just keeps disconnecting randomly
š
maybe select servers near you
My game literally crashes in the middle of raids for no reason. Why
How do I report someone for tk
Check the pins for the FAQ / Troubleshooting
do you send the eft-modmail the clip to report?
@brittle rose i believe TK is also a part of the game so i dont think they will help you out, better to play with friends!
tk on purpose from my tm8
@timid mulch I was with a 5 man in this discord and 2 of them were friends and tk both of us intentionally
Left the discord right as they killed us
well rip maybe a mod will help in this
Only if you've it on video while being with them in a Discord vc
@grim hatch Hello. Just saw the 'feedback' post about ingame quest completion and rewards and I am here to tell you I have the same issue
Hi, yea a lot of players are impacted, we sent the information. Which issue do you have in particular? Getting the rewards?
turning the quests in, accepting new ones and getting rewards from it
how many raids did you do since launching game and before clicking button where you had the issue?
let me broaden it so it's easier to understand. The first time this occurred was yesterday. I was playing for about 5 hours straight and I'd say by the end of the session (probably my second to last raid) the error first occurred. Had to restart my game and go again.
When I first logged on today I immediately started doing tasks (on shoreline to be exact, not that it matters) and after the first raid, about 30 minutes into playing, I tried to turn in the quest item (did that with no problems) an then tried to accept a new quest (clicking accept did nothing). I couldn't even accept the rewards from the quest I had finished
Sorry for coming back again with questions, we would be interested in the following :
After the most recent, we disabled an event with the Fence trader. Do you remember if you had this quest completed (partially completed) or not at all?
Anyone ever had their m.2 nvme cause crashes in online raids? Been struggling to play tarkov for the last week because of this. Just tried it out on another external drive and itās now running fine
Just strange as the m.2 should surely facilitate better performance
Can i change my email with my tarkov account, can't find any reason as to why it's greyed out.
Hi, i saw that you were people helping people get better fps
do you mean the event quest? The one that required me to kill 3 pmcs for +1 fence reputation? I have not completed the task but I have failed it quite some times
does anyone know how i fix "server connection lost" ?
The Game says I have a Critical Launcher Update does anybody know how to fix it?
Hello, also have the same problem (and one of my friends too but not the other one) and if i remember right i had fence quest taken but not finished it. Also this hotfix didnt fixed it and it still lags you out when you complete any quest.
so maybe its just not finished fence bugging things out cause otherwise never had this problem
Thanks for the feedbacks, I forwarded them
Did you launch the launcher as admin?
I fixed the issue
Ok
I need help..... I played several raids and I tried labs but then I got 200ping, I restarted my computer twice, and checked that my internet is alright, but it's still 200ping
I'm still in the raid
200 ping forever
Not sure why. Are you downloading/uploading something?
nope
Is this in more than one raid?
no
If it happens again then we may worry
What does the ping for your servers say in the launcher?
If you have 200 ping ingame and that's not misreading the icons, you should be disconnecting with that high of ping.
and that is my issue right now
The OCE issues don't affect you since you're ASI
I'm disconnecting every few seconds
Are you on a VPN?
nope
I'd suggest sending in a bug report if all the servers do this, one by one.
so... there's nothing I can do to save my kit this raid?
cant turn in task
or my labs card?
They're looking into the problem
Unfortunately not.
QwQ I've lost 2 kits these 2 days because of this problem I really hope this problem can be fixed forget about my kits but this is a bit annoying unable to play random raids
0.0 I can't even report my bug
nvm it suddenly said I created a support
wtf
Any further talk about this item that violates the game's TOS will get you muted.
ok, I apologize. Didn't mean anything bad by it.
@slim spruce where can i suggest changes to channels i.e. daily quest suggestions
Like what?
There was reactions but that was removed because people couldn't behave
make a bot add reactions to them
not make one, i mean add one
Noted
š
anybody have trouble receiving rewards from tasks? when i try transferring them to inventory, they just blink inside my inventory. then after accepting the items it states there are still items i haven't accepted then after hitting yes,, all the items ive stored in my inventory arent there.
This is a known bug apparently. It is being worked on.
i reset app and it worked this time. appreciate the feed back!
Anyone here that can offer insight on getting better FPS with low GPU/CPU usage? I tried to "optimize" my settings based off a streamer's YT vid (VoX_E), but I'm only getting around 60fps with CPU utilization around 30% and GPU utilization 40-50%
i think the game caps at 60fps? my settings state 60 is the highest it goes in game..? \0.o/
Do you have Vsync enabled on a 60hz screen or have the game fps limiter enabled to 60hz? Also, vsync/fps limiter enabled in nvidia control panel?
oh, turn off ur nvidia reflex and it gives you option to raise FPS in game
Yes there's a problem with turning off nvidia reflex in a certain way to unlock fps
Vsync is off, monitor rr is 144hz, I do have reflex on though
Turn reflex off. Restart game and turn off vsync. Restart game and enable reflex again.
vsync is off to begin with, should I turn it on and off again?
yeah im interested now lol. i turn reflex off in control panel?
Try turning on Boost. That should allow above 60fps if vsync is disabled everywhere
Going to try that next.. did the reflex toggle and restart and looks like it's helped.. GPU utilization fluctuating but getting up into the 60s, FPS in the 70s, going between 90s and 60s.. we'll see what boost does
so my friend was banned for "discord nitro scam". He says he pissed of a hacker and idk he just wanna get unbanned. any staff help?

he clicked on a link
Those discord nitro scam links that pop up in here are hacker links
