Escapers, <@&545185755111096331>

We are happy to start the Tarkov Reporter #3 event.

You actively go to raids and therefore often accompanied by numerous events. Moments and situations on your way can be absolutely different. So what exactly are they? Are they scary? Are they funny? Wild? Scary? Realistic? Only you know the answer. Perhaps you have met something unusual in the expanses of Tarkov? Something that no one has ever seen...
The only question is, do you want to share it? If yes, then show us your photos!

We decided to upgrade the series of creative competitions "Reporters of Tarkov"!
Now you are not limited by anything! Your choice, your creativity, your result!

What is the task?

  • You need to make a creative, funny or just a beautiful screenshot in #EscapefromTarkov.
  • Upload your work in #781058725813157888

Nuances and comments:

  • Screenshot should be taken on the current version of the game.
  • Only one work is accepted from one participant.
  • It is allowed to process the screenshot with in-game filters PostFX. If you use PostFX, be sure to attach a screenshot of your PostFX settings.
  • Works are accepted up to 06.12.20.

Prizes and number of winners:

  • Between 1 and 5 winners will be selected.
  • Additional nomination "Audience Choice Prize", for the largest number of likes.
  • The winners will receive sets of in-game equipment (good loot in the game).

We are waiting for your works.

We installed a small client update 0.12.8.9942 which will add new setting, that potentially fixes the problem with group gathering in the lobby and group entry into the raid. Those who still have this problem should go to: Settings - tab "Game" - type of notification channel - web socket. All players need to download the update via the launcher.

Tomorrow at 14.00 Moscow time, we plan to start installing a technical update of the client and the server, which fixes a number of problems associated with late loading into the raid, as well as fixing the display of the lot on the flea market with the option web socket, and making other minor technical fixes. The game will be stopped for about 2 hours. This is not a patch 0.12.9

Today, in one hour, at 14.00 Moscow time, we plan to start installing a technical update of the client and the server, which fixes a number of problems associated with late loading into the raid, as well as fixing the display of the lot on the flea market with the option web socket, and making other technical fixes. The game will be stopped for about 2 hours. This is not a patch 0.12.9.

This is the first step to improve the situation with late loading into the raid. The work will be iterative and include further fixes and processing of feedback.

Please note the speed of loading to the raid and late spawns. We also remind you that we recommend you to install the game on SSD. <@&545185755111096331>

Friends, we would like to remind you of Battlestate Games email newsletters to your personal mail. Such emails help you to stay informed about the latest and major news and updates of the #EscapefromTarkov project. From these newsletters you can also find out in advance about discounts, promotions, and most importantly, promptly receive information about attempts to change the data on your account or suspicious activity. Security and timely news is very important.

We periodically receive complaints that some players receive too many emails or do not receive them at all. What does this mean? If you receive frequent emails about attempts to log in to your account, you need to change your password immediately, as well as enable two-factor authentication. You can change the rest of your email subscriptions at - https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/profile/edit. These are the subscription options, where you can choose the language and type of messages you want to receive on your e-mail.

If you do not want to receive messages to your email and prefer to learn about discounts and updates from other sources, you can always disable unnecessary messages in the subscription options.

Some users do not know about it and click the "Spam!" button in the mail clients. Or they use the "Spam" button as a "Delete" button, this is not correct. Our emails are not spam, they just keep you informed about news and events. By clicking the "Spam!" button you block messages from the company in the future. This means that you will not be able to receive, including mail related to the security of your account (login attempts, change of mail, password, HWID, etc.). Thus, your actions may lead to blocking important system emails by yourself. Fixing this situation will require technical support assistance and loss of time. Be aware of this. Manage e-mail subscription parameters on the project site and delete unnecessary messages in the e-mail client correctly. <@&545185755111096331>

  • Failed to redeem all available items in the lot if the player attempted to purchase items over the limit.
  • Failed to interact with the inventory in a raid if the player had previously disassembled the weapon via the context menu.
  • When reactivating the exit with the hermetic door at the location Reserve, the siren stopped working earlier than it should have.

Escapers,

a very strange year lies behind us. Full of challenges, ups and downs, with a lot of changes no one would have thought to be possible.

But whatever happened, thanks to you, our community, our team never lost their spirit but gained strength from being part of something bigger. We laughed, we discussed, we played. Together. And especially in these days "together" is more important than ever before. While most parts of our team are still working from home, every obstacle can be overcome, together.

For many of you, these are special days, not only because of the patch or the wipe but because it is Christmas! And we would like to take this opportunity to wish the once who are celebrating Christmas a merry, merry Christmas and also say "Thank you" to every one of you.

Thank you, for enjoying our game!
Thank you, for the feedback and reports!
Thank you, to all content creators, for covering every aspect of our game!
Thank you, for your constant support!
Thank you, for being our community!

Merry Christmas!

The year 2020 soon lies behind us, a year of many challenges and difficulties.

Challenges that we overcame.

Tarkov city now brims with expectation for what the new year might hold,

a vast new city, soon glistening with the reflections of a sparkling light show.

Thank you all for being with us at this ending of 2020,

Dear friends, Nikita Buyanov briefly answered a few questions on Escape from Tarkov, at the last community podcast in blitz format.

Q: Boss Gluhar has never been encountered in a large number of raids in a row. Have you decreased the chance of Gluhar boss or other bosses spawn?
A: It was a bug. We've already fixed it.

Q: Will there be a rebalance of experience and levels. Reaching 40th with each wipe is getting easier.
A: Yes, most likely.

Q: Now there is a door piercing, will there be more work to increase the piercing? Walls? Corners? Other obstacles?
A: There will be a complete redesign of ballistics on the locations. This means that there will be a readjustment of objects in terms of penetration, vehicles will receive hard-to-penetrate zones (for example, the engine) and so on.

Q: Do you plan to have an exit and entrance to the Hideout location?
A: No, this is not planned.

Q: The IFAK individual tactical first aid kit now stops heavy bleeding?
A: Yes, that's right.

Q: What about the cheaters situation in the game at the moment?
A: Send us reports on cheaters. Since the beginning of 2021 we've already banned about 30000 cheaters.

Q: Minefields currently serve as a location limiter. Will there be any exits at minefields in the future when mine detectors are implemented?
A: Yes, such exits are planned.

We present the full version of the Raid miniseries based on the multiplayer online FPS Escape from Tarkov.

In the film adaptation of director Anton Rosenberg, viewers discover the world of the game and the armed conflict that takes place in the Norvinsk region, a special economic zone on the border between Russia and Europe. The main operating parties are two opposing private military companies — USEC and BEAR, waging fierce battles between themselves and the gangs remaining in the city — the Scavs. The main character finds himself in the occupied city of Tarkov, the exits from which are blocked by UN peacekeepers and Russian troops.

The winners are:

"Concordia is a business class residential complex consisting of two buildings. Located in the business part of the central district, between Razvedchikov and Kamchatskaya streets.
The architecture of the complex is dominated by clear geometric shapes and straight lines of the facades. A system of ventilated facades has been used, which helps to keep warm in winter and protects from overheating in summer. The color palette is restrained. High ceilings and panoramic windows will not leave anyone indifferent. Another advantage of the Concordia residential complex is the sufficient number of parking spaces in the underground parking - 149 parking places.
The courtyard is closed, landscaped, including functional areas for games, sports and recreation, as well as a guest parking."

Streets of Tarkov is the most ambitious new location in the game which is coming in future version 0.13.

Here is the list of fixes for Escape from Tarkov patch 0.12.11.
<@&545185755111096331>
**This list does not include changes and new additions to the patch. A full description of the patch will be published later.
**
Fixed:

● In some cases players wouldn’t spawn even after successful matching and would get back to the main menu. 
● Totally silent movement of Shturman and his guards. 
● The player hung on a blank screen after pressing the "Back" button on the treatment screen after a raid. 
● The progress of the "Crafting" skill diverged between the client and the backend after production was completed. 
● Inventory and animation of the player's hands hung when the player tried to move a cartridge from the chamber of the weapon in his hands to a full stack of ammunition. 
● The difference in the actions of the character when switching between pressing and holding the keys. Strong and weak grenade throws now work the same way: held down the key, thrown by releasing the key, and does not depend on the aiming settings. 
● The mods locked behind a quest did not unlock on the purchase screen for presets even after completing the quest. 
● The consumption rate of the air filter was higher than necessary. 
● At the moment of the weapon assembly in the presets menu - the separate weapon mod would be applied to the gun even if the gun already had such a mod on it. 
● The production timer in the hideout, which has been partially cropped. 
● The library did not speed up the "Crafting" and "Hideout management" skills. ```
#
● Bolt-catch animations would be replaced with a charging handle loading one. 
● Hits on the neck protection worsened the condition of the helmet itself, not the condition of the neck protection. 
● Saiga 12 and PP-9 Klin stocks would get folded together with a quick drop of the backpack. 
● Inventory and animation of the player's hands hung if the player simultaneously opened the door with a key and threw a grenade. 
● The transfer screen from scav layered onto the main menu screen after restarting the game on the transfer screen. 
● The player could not go sideways through the doorway. 
● Filters for food and medicine that did not work in the player's stash. 
● Quest "The Punisher. Part 4." which could be done without the scav vest. 
● “Strength”, “Stamina”, and “Stealth” movement progress was not properly counted during the raid. 
● Weapon mastering progress was not properly counted during the raid. 
● Character's empty hand animation at a distance. 
● The player with empty hands could not drop the backpack.  
#

Hello, everybody!

It's been a long time without status reports and it is not meant that we do nothing. On the contrary, we are so immersed in colossal volumes of work that we do not have time to exhale.

Here is a status report on what is going on and what are we focused on right now.

Patch 12.11.5. Intermediate patch with fixes and optimizations

Patch 12.11.6. Unity 2019 migration and DLSS support

Patch 12.12.0. Lighthouse location, daily quests, Inertia (there will be ETS test), VOIP (there will be ETS test), next weapon malfunctions iteration, new weapons and other stuff.

Patch 12.12.5. Lot of QoL improvements and additions.

Other intermediate patches with hotfixes, visual improvements (partially will be pushed on ETS servers)

3 new modules to anticheat system to increase AC reaction time and overall cheat detection speed. It's a hot topic right now, although we did a great progress on this issue for the last weeks, but the war is not over

Events, podcasts and other related activities preparations

Next 4 months will be pretty hard and important - we need to provide to you a lot of important fixes, changes and content. Action speaks louder than words.

Take care,
EFT devteam

Today at 18:10 MSK we plan to start maintenance on the Escape from Tarkov servers to fix a series of bugs. The game will not stop. On the servers undergoing the update, the raid time may be reduced to 10 minutes. Thank you for your understanding.
<@&545185755111096331>

calm spindle
#

Maintenance is now complete. Thank you for your patience.

Changes:

  • Changed the damage distribution mechanics when shooting destroyed (blacked-out) limbs for PMCs, Player Scavs, and all AI bots.
    Now, when a blacked-out limb gets shot at, the damage will be distributed across all non-destroyed limbs (before this, the blacked-out parts also counted for distribution, which mitigated some of the overall damage). This will eliminate situations when a seriously wounded character would not die after several hits in the blacked-out area.

Today at 15:00 MSK we are planning to install update 0.12.11.5. The installation will take approximately 4 hours, but may be extended if required. The game will not be accessible during this period. The update notes will be published after the installation is complete. <@&545185755111096331>

Installation of update 0.12.11.5 has begun. The process will take approximately 4 hours, but may be extended if required. The game will not be accessible during this period.

In technical update 0.12.11.5 we focused on various optimizations and fixes. <@&545185755111096331>

#

Optimization and Performance:
● Made adjustments that allowed to reduce the amount of consumed RAM after finishing a raid.
● Changed the logic of in-game fonts that allowed to reduce memory consumption.
● Enabled Reflex no longer affects performance in the Hideout.
● Optimized the logic of loading character voices in raid, which reduced the time to load into raids.
● Optimized the sound batch loading, which reduced memory consumption and time to load into raids.
● Optimized the location loading time by rationalizing the logic of storing game resources.
● Optimized the memory consumption of the client by unloading all unused scenes from the memory.
● Optimized trader offer search time while using context search and filters.
● Added the “Enable Hideout pre-load” option in the game settings. If the option is enabled, it pre-loads the Hideout; if the option is disabled, the Hideout will load only when accessed. Disabling this option will reduce the main menu loading time when starting the game and after finishing raids. The option is disabled by default.

Visual and Graphical Changes:
● Shadow render distance is increased to 500 m regardless of shadow quality settings to ensure correct shading on locations. The resampling system has also been reworked to optimize performance.
● Fixed the work of the camera that led to weapon distortion on screen edges on some FOV settings.

#

Gameplay and QOL Сhanges:
● Reworked the game logic of the inventory, item moving and context menus to minimize the number of errors that occurred in the stash.
● Added the ability to change weapon fire modes “by rotation” by double-pressing the fire mode key.
● Added a “to menu” button to the first post-raid screen to skip all next screens.
● Added a check mark that lets you know if a weapon matches the Mechanic’s task requirements when inspecting it in the preset menu.
● Added the maximum single fire rate parameter for all weapons.
● All broken and damaged window glass is now synchronized between all players even if loading into an already ongoing raid.
● The AI of all Scavs, Raiders, and Bosses has been moved to a new technology platform that will allow us to expand and increase the complexity of AI-driven unit behaviour, and also increase the number of Scavs in a single raid in the future.
● Completely redesigned the quest system engine. This will decrease the number of errors in the quest system and will facilitate the creation of more diverse and engaging quest mechanics in the future.
● Optimized the formula of calculating Fence reputation penalty when killing Scavs while having a high reputation.
● Changing the quality settings of shadows and textures, choosing graphics presets and changing the Mip Streaming option is no longer possible during a raid.
● Redesigned the system of game settings that allowed to avoid several existing problems when changing parameters.
● Now, when trying to create an offer with missing items for sale, a “No available items” message will appear.
● The raid session id in the bottom left corner is now unique for every player. It will no longer be possible to tell on which server a streamer is currently playing.

#

Fixed Bugs:
● Various object penetration fixes on locations.
● Players would not speed up when holding the sprint key while moving prone.
● Scav faction was displayed as “SAVAGE” instead of “SCAV” on the lobby screen.
● Game freezes when starting/handing items for a craft.
● TOZ KS-23M Carbine was shooting well below the aiming point.
● Players were not receiving mail with aid while in distress condition.
● Leaning position was not resetting after moving and pressing the lean key again if the lean key was set to “Press”.
● Weapon loading through the chamber was leveling the “Mag Drills” skill slower than the supposed value.
● Hideout areas could remain inaccessible at the end of the build timer until the game was restarted.
● Players could freeze on the stationary weapon after using gestures or quick-releasing their backpack.
● Chambered cartridge would get pulled out of the chamber if the player used the "Top-Up" on this type of cartridge in the stash.
● The “Memory” skill would not grow by 5% from the current level when the player levels another skill by 1 level.
● Tagilla would go through the cistern collision and get stuck inside it.
● The breathing sounds would not play when loading into a raid with Tagilla’s “UBEY” or “Gorilla” welding masks equipped.
● Cultist knife poison amount would not get counted correctly.
● Flashlight light would go through obstacles.
● If the player spammed the compass key while dropping a backpack, the compass would not appear in the hand, but the azimuth would appear on the HUD.
● Players could move without animation if they quickly pressed the movement keys.
● Truck windows were visible through the fog on the “Customs” location.
● Fixed various issues causing “error 500”.

Today we are happy to celebrate the fifth anniversary of our Emissary Program. Emissaries are volunteers from across the globe who have supported Battlestate Games since the beginning of the development of Escape from Tarkov by making sure every voice in the EFT community could be heard, and also that our messages could be understood in any part of the world. These people are volunteers but nevertheless work tirelessly, so that's why we want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to them.

<@&545185755111096331> In the next minutes we plan to install an update that will add a new mechanic to the game, called Operational Tasks.
The update installation will take approximately 3 hours, but can be extended if necessary. The game will be unavailable during this period. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

tropic parrot
#

<@&545185755111096331>
Operational tasks have been added to the game. Periodically offered by traders, these tasks can be accepted and completed during a limited timeframe (for example, 24 hours). Operational tasks are marked with a special clock icon on your task list.

Same as regular tasks, operational tasks are acquired from traders and after completing them you have to return to the same trader who gave you the task.

If you didn't manage to complete an operational task in time, it will be marked as failed. After some time, it will be replaced by a new operational task from a random trader.

Operational tasks with a daily completion time become available as soon as you reach level 5. At that moment, the first issue of operational tasks occurs and the timer for their completion starts.

The next operational tasks will be issued after the previous tasks’ completion timer runs out, regardless of success or failure. In upcoming patches, the mechanics of accepting those tasks and their timers will be adjusted and improved to ensure more convenience.

Operational task objective variety is based on a large number of additional conditions and their combinations. The difficulty of those objectives increases with the character level. In the current patch, the objectives are eliminating PMC operatives and Scavs, searching for certain items, and surviving on locations. In future patches the range of objectives and additional conditions is going to be expanded significantly.

The rewards for completing operational tasks are: experience, money, and various items.

Available operational tasks, their objectives and rewards are unique for each account.

In future patches the operational task system is going to be further developed to increase detail, ease of selection, cooperation, and taking into account player’s progress.

#

We have started the installation of patch 0.12.11.7. In this patch we have upgraded the game engine from Unity 2018 to Unity 2019.

Upgrading the game engine to a newer version is a complex technical process that may affect all game systems and mechanics, as well as graphics and service modules.

The size of the patch is 7 GB. The reason for this is that during the transition to the new engine version, we have optimized the structure of storing the game data.

This patch doesn’t contain new mechanics, content, or visual changes. However, the transition to a newer version of Unity will allow us to use new graphics, gameplay, and network technologies in the future and will also facilitate further optimization of the game client and speed up the development of Escape from Tarkov. <@&545185755111096331>

On this day, the Sherpa program turns three years old!

Sherpas are expert players who help beginners learn the basics of gameplay. The key task of the Sherpas is to develop the skills of novice players so they are able to survive on their own in the harsh environment of Tarkov.

Sherpas are volunteers who devote their free time not only to teaching others, but also to explore Tarkov, replenishing and updating their considerable knowledge about the game. Selfless help to new players makes an invaluable contribution to the development of the Escape from Tarkov community. On behalf of Battlestate Games, today we congratulate all the Sherpas on the anniversary and thank them for their hard work! <@&545185755111096331>

The installation of patch 0.12.12 has begun. There will be a wipe with the patch. The game will be completely unavailable for approximately 4 hours. Thank you for your understanding. <@&545185755111096331>

#

We present the Escape from Tarkov 0.12.12 patch notes. We would like to remind you that there is going be a wipe with this patch, which means that the progress of your account will be reset.

Patch 0.12.12

Key changes:

1. Added the Lighthouse location. The lighthouse at Cape Dalniy was an important strategic object on the way to Tarkov. During Contract Wars, it was the main entry point for USEC units and served as their base of operations. After the conflict, Scavs took a fancy to this place, until the old owners returned, who decided to stay in Tarkov and establish their own order.

This is the first iteration of this location. In the future, the territory will be expanded and will include new Bosses.

2. The Lighthouse location will feature a new AI type - ex-USEC operatives, also called Rogues. They are a gang of former PMCs who previously operated together. They are well-armed, well trained, and use coordinated combat tactics. They have similar interests to the Raiders’ ones, but have united around a shared military past.

Rogue USECs have taken over the water treatment plant, and entrenched there. Stationary machine guns and grenade launchers are set up along the perimeter, with several fighters patrolling around the clock. When an enemy is detected in a sector of fire or there is a suspicion of enemy presence, the guards open suppressive fire, trying to prevent the enemy from approaching their territory.

These new bots are lenient towards the USEC PMC faction. They will not open fire upon a USEC player unless the player tries to enter their territory. If the player gets too close, he will receive an order to leave immediately and will be shot if not compliant. Also, if a USEC player is in a group with a BEAR PMC, both of them will be considered hostile and attacked on sight without a warning.

If a USEC player engages in a fight with the Rogues, he will be considered a traitor and will be treated as a hostile for the next several raids.

3. Inertia has been added to the game for more realistic movement and actions. Inertia manifests itself in the following situations:

  • Walking and strafing
  • Sprinting
  • Sharp turns during sprinting
  • Landing after jumping or falling from a height
  • Leaning and sidestepping

The inertial force depends on the weight of equipment and the Strength skill level. The more your equipment weighs and the lower the Strength skill level is:

  • The longer it takes to accelerate at the start of movement (walk, strafe, sprint);
  • The longer it takes to slow down after stopping movement (walk, strafe, sprint);
  • The longer it takes to slow down and accelerate when changing movement direction to the opposite one;
  • The more movement speed decreases during sharp turns while sprinting;
  • The stronger and longer movement speed decreases when landing after jumping or falling from a height;
  • The slower it takes to lean, return to normal position from leaning, and sidestep.

The inertial force increases starting from 0 kg of equipment weight for characters with Strength level 0, and from 10 kg for characters with the Elite Strength level. The inertial force reaches maximum with 70 kg of equipment weight for characters with Strength level 0, and with 80 kg for characters with the Elite Strength level.

4. Expanded crouching and getting up mechanics. Now the duration of these actions depends on the degree of weight overload. Getting up drains stamina, the amount of spent stamina depends on the degree of overload and the number of changed stance bars (how high the character stood up).

#

5. Expanded the weapon malfunctions mechanics. Along with misfires, weapons can now suffer the following malfunctions:

Failure to eject - after firing, the cartridge is jammed by the bolt and is partially visible in the ejection port. The source of this problem is, first of all, the technical condition of the weapon, and less often - the overheating of the weapon and the cartridge characteristics.

Failure to feed - after firing, there are issues with the new cartridge feed (round gets stuck in the mechanisms of the weapon, cartridge case, etc.). The main source of this problem is the weapon magazine, especially the high capacity and drum magazines. Other sources: cartridge characteristics, weapon overheating, and technical condition of the weapon.

Jammed bolt - after firing, the bolt gets jammed. Jamming can be of two types: normal and hard. The only difference is the duration of the troubleshooting. The cause of the jammed bolt can only be overheating of the weapon or its technical condition. Hard jamming occurs only at low values of the technical condition of the weapon (5% and below).

Malfunctions cannot occur in new weapons (with durability more than 93%), except malfunctions caused by overheating.

Some types of weapons cannot have certain malfunctions due to their design or mechanism of operation.

Now, in order to fix the malfunction, you need to determine its type first. To do this, you need to inspect the malfunctioning weapon via the weapon inspection hotkey.

Characters with the Elite level of the Troubleshooting skill will automatically detect the type of malfunction as soon as it occurs, without having to inspect the weapon.

Now, after events and actions related to malfunctions (malfunction occurrence, determining the type of a malfunction, fixing a malfunction), a colored notification occurs and a sound signal is played. These notifications and sounds can be disabled in the game settings by unchecking the “Malfunction notifications” box.

6. Weapon overheating and related effects have been added to the game.

Weapons heat up after each shot. The heating rate for each shot depends on the cartridge, barrel and other heating-related elements of the weapon (receivers, muzzle devices, handguards, etc.).

In contrast to heating, the weapon is constantly cooling down. The cooling rate also depends on the barrel and other cooling-related elements of the weapon (receivers, muzzle devices, handguards, etc.).

The degree of overheating can be monitored by the visual state of the barrel and muzzle devices. You can distinguish four stages of overheating in ascending order. Each stage of overheating adds new negative effects.

Slight overheating - the weapon is heated, but there is no reddening of the barrel and muzzle devices. Effects: heating of the barrel, muzzle devices, and handguard is visible in thermal scopes, possible mirage (heat haze) from the barrel and muzzle devices.
**Medium overheating **- the weapon is heated, reddening of the barrel and muzzle devices is visible. Effects: weapon’s accuracy decreases, malfunction chance increases, wear increases, and the weapon’s maximum durability is reduced during firing.
Severe overheating - the weapon is very hot, the barrel and muzzle devices are sizzling hot. Effects: weapon’s rate of fire changes, possible cooking-off chance.
**Maximum overheating **- when this level is reached, a malfunction occurs - the bolt gets jammed.

#

7. Improved the mechanics of external ammo ballistics. Now, when calculating the flight trajectory and energy, the initial speed, bullet weight, bullet diameter, its shape and ballistic coefficient are taken into account. Previously, only the initial velocity and bullet weight were taken into account.

With this, it became possible to achieve maximum correspondence with the real life data. Also, the loss of all types of damage, depending on the energy of the bullet at a distance, and the increase in damage and penetration of the bullet from the change in bullet velocity have been corrected. For example, for 5.45x39 at a distance of 150 meters, the drop in damage was about 20%, but when changing the barrel for a longer one, thus increasing the velocity, the damage and penetrative abilities also increase. However, it’s worth understanding that for some ammunition there is no data in open sources, or they are incomplete. Such ammunition will be adjusted as the necessary data is found.

8. Adjusted the recoil mechanics when shooting:

  • Reduced the automatic recoil compensation when firing long bursts
  • Decreased the recoil reduction bonuses from skills
  • General refinements and improvements in the weapon recoil system

9. VOIP - added voice communication functionality. To enable it, you need to go to the sound settings and check the "Enable VOIP" box.

This functionality is designed for coordination and the ability to negotiate.

Remember that using VOIP inappropriately can ruin the experience for you and other players.

Insults, playing music, clogging the air, and other improper behavior when using VOIP can lead to both the blocking of its functionality and the banning of the game account.

  • VOIP works only in-raid and only in the Push-to-talk mode.
  • Players cannot talk for more than 15 seconds consecutively. This means that every 20 seconds in a raid, you can only talk for 15 seconds, regardless of whether it’s consecutive or not.
  • Pressing the Push-to-talk button too often will trigger a short-term auto-block.
  • You can send reports on inappropriate VOIP usage. To do this, go to the gesture menu and press the report button while the other player is talking or was talking 2 seconds ago. You cannot report the members of your group.
  • The audibility of the voice depends on the distance of the speaker, as well as on all other sound modifiers: room partitions, floors, walls, active headphones, lowered visor, etc.
  • Scavs can pay attention to players talking.
  • VOIP can be quickly disabled from the gesture menu or via the hotkey.
  • The Push-to-talk hotkey can be reassigned in control settings.

10. Expanded the Operational Tasks

  • Added the description variety to all types of operational tasks.
  • Added the completed operational tasks statistics to the player stats screen.
  • Added the “exit through the specific extract” condition for the “exit the location” type tasks.

11. Added the ability to partially use different types of food and drinks.

  • Only the duration of the effect changes from the amount consumed. The strength and delay before the start of the buff does not change.
  • All buffs stack only up to the original buff’s value.
  • Negative buffs also stack only up to their original value.
  • Negative buffs take skills into account (in particular, the Metabolism skill, which cuts the duration of negative effects up to 50%).
  • Negative buffs take immunity at the maximum Metabolism skill level into account.

12. Added new items:

  • New weapons
  • New weapon parts
  • 4 new hand grenades (including impact grenades)
  • New equipment
  • New barter items
  • New keys
  • New storage cases (Injector case and Keycard holder)
  • Rangefinders (handheld range finder and tactical rangefinder module)
  • 5 new cartridges
  • New clothing sets for USEC and BEAR
  • New unique armbands
  • New face types for both factions at the start of the game

13. Added new quests on the Lighthouse location

As another year nears it's end, we would like to thank each and every one of you. Whether you have stuck with us through the ups and downs or are taking a break, we wouldn't have made it so far without your support.

While there are times when we may not always agree with each other, it is Escape from Tarkov that brings us all together. Thank you for being a part of this awesome community, for your trust in our vision, for playing the game that all of us enjoy and love.

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

<@&545185755111096331> We have started the installation of patch 0.12.12.10. The installation will take approximately 4 hours, but may be extended if required. The game will not be accessible during this period.

Fixed:
● Corrected the animation of transition to a jammed state for MP133, KS-23, M870 and M590;
● The barrel of the USP pistol now heats up correctly;
● Fixed a bug which didn't allow Scav bots use first aid kits picked up during a raid;
● Fixed a bug that displayed a Scav instead of a PMC on the stats screen after the end of an offline raid.

Added:
● New Year's events;
● New gear and barter items;
● A peaceful Santa Claus bot who gives out presents may spawn on every location, except for the Laboratory. He will not interfere with firefights, but will attack in response if you injure him. For killing Santa Claus with either PMC or Scav, the player will get a significant reputation penalty with Fence.

Dear players,

Our servers are currently overloaded, but this is not related to the Twitch Drops event we're running. On the release of Patch 0.12.12 we had more CCU and the backend was more overloaded than now.

Some issues show themselves only under heavy load (like the one we're currently experiencing) and "buying more servers" won't fix these issues. Such heavy load occurs during prime time only and it's been far heavier than one or two years ago, as the game became more complex.

We are working on identifying the nature of these issues and on how to lower the chanсe of them happening in the future. Our methods include replacing hardware, eliminating unstable nodes and adding changes to the software, for example a temporary queue system and different kinds of backend optimizations.

The queuing mechanism in the launcher has been introduced in order to prevent the backend servers from overloading and avoid game-related issues resulting from that overload. This is a temporary solution. We are working to reduce queues as soon as possible and our goal is to eliminate them completely.

Our team will continue to work during the holidays until we resolve these issues.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience and support. <@&545185755111096331>

<@&545185755111096331> <@&928745600483213313> Some of the specific items without the “found in raid” status will receive a new property - in an attempt to discard these items in a raid, they will be destroyed. In other words, if you take the specific items (from the list below) to the raid in advance and attempt to give them to other players, then in the process of discarding they will be destroyed.

**This change is intended to combat RMT and boosting. When attempting to drop a restricted item, a warning dialog box will appear with the text "WARNING! The following items will be permanently lost." **

Some items without the “found in raid” status will be destroyed if:
● Player tries to discard it from their inventory and ignores the warning;
● Player places it in their backpack, pockets, or chest rig, and gets killed by another player or tries to drop any container/backpack/chest rig containing this limited item;
● If a player dies, the limited items in their secure container will not be destroyed.

This change will be applied to the following items:
● Money
● All barter items (with some permissions below)
● Keys and Keycards
● Containers
● Specific armbands
● Info items
● Specific melee weapons (UVSR Taiga-1 survival machete, Red Rebel ice pick, Miller Bros. Blades M-2 Tactical Sword, Kiba Arms Tactical Tomahawk)

Items that can be discarded in a limited quantity:
● Roubles — 20 000
● Golden neck chain — 3 pcs
● Gunpowder “Kite” — 3 pcs
● Toolset — 2 pcs
● Roler Submariner gold wrist watch — 1 pc
● Paracord — 1 pc
● Silicone tube — 1 pc
● Injectors — 1 pc each type

These items can be discarded within the specified quantity, after exceeding which they will also be destroyed.
