[frail ridge]

I got jack tho

[amber kindle]

same, it still says the same error but no red bar 🙁

[prisma wharf]

fart ass

[torn flower]

hey it worked, closed the launcher and red is gone for sure 100% 🙂

[formal moat]

Clear yoru cash and delete logs and it lets you in

[amber kindle]

better dead than red

[torn flower]

thats how i got in, cleared cache

[deep night]

WHY WONT MY LAUNCHER EVEN OPEN

[dapper obsidian]

liar

[nocturne robin]

he forgot to say also do an integrity check

[naive garden]

Anyone want used dirty panties?

[torn flower]

you have to close the launcher and clear the cache

[dapper obsidian]

i forgot to say i hope your family has a nice Christmas

[amber kindle]

no, dont do a damn integrity check

[formal moat]

I'm trying to do a public service, not fully troll people...

It's like sticking your dogs medicine in a roll of ham

[torn flower]

when you close the launcher the red line is gone

[nocturne robin]

sorry we don't celebrate, im going to have to report you for wild gestures towards my christian family!

[mellow sky]

I clear cache and it does nothing

[vestal lotus]

insert that video where the dog spits out the medicine anyways

[torn flower]

did you close launcher

[mellow sky]

yes

[nocturne robin]

hey I'm trying to help that integirty check takes a min it might actually be up by the time they finish

[torn flower]

then the red warning is gone right

[ashen folio]

Anyone else still getting user action required..?

[amber kindle]

yes

[mellow sky]

yes

[deep night]

Yep

[formal moat]

Yeah, but you should see the comment section of my videos when I mention the tip of deleting logs... There are always people that are like "dude, I had 2 GB of logs".....

[torn flower]

perfect you should be in

[ashen folio]

Any ideas what to do? Or is it still down?

[dapper obsidian]

Ah

[mellow sky]

still on 16.8

[nocturne robin]

LMAOOO

[deep night]

Nah im wondered too

[ashen folio]

16.8? Sorry I’m new I’m not sure what that means

[severe venture]

my arena is up but not tark 🙁

[ionic dove]

same here

[limpid sequoia]

yep

[mellow sky]

16.9 is new version for the update 16.8 is old

[nocturne robin]

i have 7gbs of logs...

[ashen folio]

How do I switch to 16.9?

[mellow sky]

buh

[mellow haven]

Herro

[quasi crystal]

0.16.9.0 has not been installed yet, that patch is being installed at 8AM BST

[warped cedar]

who?

[summer river]

task manager closed the launcher. started back up and the banner is gone. still can’t load in though.

[mellow haven]

HERROOOOOO!!!!!

[mellow sky]

ah alright still getting user action required does the region im in matter?

[quasi crystal]

Maintenance may still be ongoing, they haven’t announced that it has concluded yet

[torn flower]

dude, just messing around, tark servers are still down

[formal moat]

u did not

[mellow sky]

buh

[ashen folio]

So is that game down till 3am (est)?

[limpid sequoia]

aight

[nocturne robin]

LMAO I DID

[frail ridge]

wild

[severe venture]

Unfortunetly I still have the banner. Hopefully they are disseminating the access / release of this so theyre not over loading the servers when everyone logs on at once. Atleast that is what I would do

[quasi crystal]

3AM EST is when the patch installation will BEGIN

[nocturne robin]

dating back to 2023

[ashen folio]

Oh, so it’ll be down till 3am est

[mellow sky]

why does nikita choose horrible timing

[quasi crystal]

No

It will be down FROM 3AM EST

[severe venture]

No, it will be up for now until 3am.

[uncut basin]

so we get three hours?

[ashen folio]

It’s been down since 4pm est

[mellow sky]

thupid

[summer river]

yeah

[quasi crystal]

For server maintenance, not the patch installation.

[formal moat]

Something is very weird about the current downtime. The middle of the night for them, and it's not during a patch cycle

[ashen folio]

Thanks, still getting user action required which is why I was asking

[mellow sky]

everyone is

[eternal oracle]

data center maintenance almost never goes according to the windows provided by any game or service lol

[summer river]

it’ll come back up. play for 3 hours, then do the patch

[ashen folio]

They should just keep it down at that point

[hoary bramble]

nvm its still down, but hey at least itll be up tmmr, wait is this the 1.0 update?

[severe venture]

Silly russians doing silly nighttime things.

[mellow sky]

u should just go to sleep at that point

[nocturne robin]

lol no

[spare quartz]

Excited for the patch

[ashen folio]

I don’t go to bed until 8am est

[quasi crystal]

The recent downtime was due to maintenance on the data center, not anything related to a game patch
The installation of patch 0.16.9.0 begins at 8AM BST (in 3 and a half hours)

[mellow sky]

uh huh

[hoary bramble]

ah alright thanks also since im here whats yalls favorite sniper?

[frail ridge]

[formal moat]

data center maintenance never takes down services anymore either... Thats whats really wierd about this

[boreal hazel]

he's got the info

[mellow sky]

mine is the blicky

[nocturne robin]

mine is pm pistol cuz i can helmet check my homies

[torn flower]

woot servers coming back up

[mellow sky]

my homie gets mad when I helmet check his balaclava its weird

[autumn reef]

how u know this?

[eternal oracle]

really depends what the service is and what redundancy is in place.

[torn flower]

check it now

[quasi crystal]

If you do it twice it cancels out the first one

[nocturne robin]

dude fr esp when balaclavas on arena bounce shots

[mellow sky]

good to know

[summer river]

blickt is unironically so much fun. middle of the night shooting little discs at people and they freak out

[ionic dove]

user action is required for me. but the red flag is gone

[summer river]

no red banner, no game tho

[torn flower]

yes its coming, 5 minutes

[mellow haven]

astute observation

[severe venture]

I've heard that before. Nikita told me in donetsk that if you just like shoot them really realllllyy hard and cool like then it cancels out

[hoary bramble]

LMAO real, Im a timmy compared to my friends they let me helmet check with an Mp5 3 times and they didnt die

[mellow sky]

who could have thought

[formal moat]

Only if they are inhouse is it even remotely normal anymore.

[rich merlin]

I genuinely don't know how that 7gb happened for the lad.

Must've had the game installed since wipe 1

[formal moat]

I had 900 MB with like 2 years of logs when I first learned about it

[uncut basin]

he deleted his stash by accident

[formal moat]

It just depends on how much you play, each raid generates a new log I'm pretty sure.

[silk oak]

how do u know this for certain

[nocturne robin]

crashing is involved as well

[summer river]

click change server region, you can see the servers slowly getting started back up

[vestal lotus]

MP-155 Ultima with FTX slug

[rich merlin]

@rotund iron drop log folder size rn

[frail ridge]

u sweat

[torn flower]

last time server went down for maintenance

[uncut basin]

toz 7mm

[summer river]

japan is up. one usa server, and the europes are slowly starting now

[eternal oracle]

also just a chance they didnt need to take the service down entirely but did to mitigate the need for continuous support due to latency or other issues. its just a game, people can take 6h off

[hoary bramble]

jesus\

[torn flower]

5 minutes came back up

[boreal hazel]

Are they adding a 3rd wave of stash space yet?

what about red tracksuit

[vestal lotus]

stash space??

[dense rose]

OPEN?

[formal moat]

oh for sure... They weren't originally planning on turning the game off. I'm glad they did. It would of been a shit show of back end errors and lost raids I bet if they hadn't

[frail ridge]

"where'd my ledx go!? waaaa"

[rich merlin]

Would buy it immediately, gotta feed the p2w drop/spawn rates

[boreal hazel]

ngl I would, lol.

[foggy coral]

there should be a 'server restart in x minutes' like every other game known to man

[uncut basin]

too much effort

[formal moat]

It's so weird though, you can tell this wan'st really planned out... Take servers down for 6 hours, then turn them on again for 4, then take them offline again for 6 hours for a patch.

[boreal hazel]

I really hope they aren't fixing the transit... crashes...

[rich merlin]

Tis all I'll say

[nocturne robin]

they better i hate gaming and people use it as a way to get out

[rich merlin]

(Mind you, that's 2x28)

[boreal hazel]

you don't have the event lines as well? psh..

[mellow haven]

ITS UP LFG!!!!!!

[rich merlin]

I do, but it doesn't show there

[uncut basin]

who tryna get me an upgrade i got dirty ass feet rn

[severe venture]

BSG is a multi million worth company, i am sure there is extensive planning in these decisions...lol

[pearl quest]

hello

[snow patio]

they literally shut down the servers 30 minutes earlier than the actual beginning time but now theyre taking even longer

[amber kindle]

^^^^^

[formal moat]

I've worked in multi million dollar companies... Shit still happens outside of plans....

[boreal hazel]

people it's coming back online soon... then going offline again soon... then coming back online again soon

[severe venture]

Fair point.

[eternal oracle]

how do u see this view?

[uncut basin]

real shit

[rich merlin]

website -> profile

[pearl quest]

how long does a chat violation work haha im in trouble in chat 1 hahaha

[nocturne robin]

i've been with tarov long enough to know their estimates arent usually the same as when it is avaliable

[boreal hazel]

I thought website was down with this datacenter upgrade?

[eternal oracle]

damn bought the game 20 march 2021 and never played til july 2025 lol

[formal moat]

I mean, that just tells us its atleast your first wipe 😉

[nocturne robin]

website came back on 10 after 4

[low knot]

does arena work?

[snow patio]

for some reason on the "change region" list only some servers have a matching time showing the rest are 0:00

[severe venture]

I have a timing countdown on arena. ANyone else?

[mellow sky]

its up I just got in

[nocturne robin]

pffft I feel bad for anyone whos first wipe is hardcore wipe lol

[uncut basin]

thats me lmao

[boreal hazel]

I bought it around then, too. Couldn't play because of firewall issues for a long time

[formal moat]

Why? it's only downhill from here 🤣

[rain halo]

omfg Nikita put slowmode on the launcher! I cant attempt another time for 00:30'

[prisma delta]

fueling guys holy shit

[eternal oracle]

hardcore is great time to learn, game gonna be ez af for me when shit isnt so locked down

[formal moat]

If you get the timer on your Play button, just close and reopen the launcher. It's a mechanic to keep people from spamming it

[boreal hazel]

if you started playing on hardcore with a standard account the game is about to get hella easier, lol

[nocturne robin]

because lmao the learning curve, i had a boy who was like 4k hours and every time he joins he has like 4k roubles to his name lol

[severe venture]

oh lmao its a slowmode o nthe launcher. theyre disseminating the access as to not overload the servers. makes sense

[rotund iron]

Bro i clear that shit like every week

[frail ridge]

hop in here boyo

[rich merlin]

bozer

[snow patio]

thats if they actually bring back flea

[formal moat]

Best I can do is a mushroom stamp on your keyboard

[rotund iron]

Gang i just got out of the shower give me a minute

[vast dew]

i just wanna change my cultist circle wtf

[boreal hazel]

I hope they don't honestly, but I think they might since a majority responded they want it

[viral frigate]

no forehead??

[snow patio]

50% voted that removing flea is a good idea

[formal moat]

nah... the fuel wierdos are into some fucked up shit.... he might lick it....

[rotund iron]

Bruh

[boreal hazel]

but I agree with @formal moat 's X comment... I don't think it'll do anything but piss everyone off in 3 weeks when everyone is meta everything

[prisma delta]

so no fuel then

[nocturne robin]

naw cuz even after with no flea, youll have actual barters and sales avaible like calok bs and not cost the same amount to upgrade their stash as it costs to get 1 trader leveled up

[snow patio]

removing flea just messes with casual players

[viral frigate]

lmao

[vast dew]

andddd hes gone....

[snow patio]

im not tryna grind a 12 hour eft shift to find some key to do operation aquarius part 1

[mellow haven]

my bad lil worked up

[red tangle]

survey says no flea was an improvement buddy. However i think almost everyone who doesnt like no flea is just not playing obviously so not surveyed.

[formal moat]

i mean, it messes with everyone.....

The idea that i'm not impacted by the flea or i'm impacted less than you is a ridiculous assertions...

If anything I'm impacted more than you...

[nocturne robin]

those surveys are faked 100%

[uncut basin]

real shit

[rotund iron]

Well i'm making good progress to Prestige 4.
So ig we'll see what happens

[frail ridge]

level 13 lookin

[snow patio]

i dont care about getting shit on by meta kits i want to be able to actually do quests 😢

[boreal hazel]

no. He polled on X if they should bring back flea and 62% said yes

[rotund iron]

People will hate me for saying it, but i truly believe this game is 500% better off without a flea market and with a trader rework

[frail ridge]

Twitter polls mean jack

[red tangle]

oh nice thanks for the confirmation majoia -NA- 71 bear

[uncut basin]

with trader rework yes not the way it is rn tho

[chrome thistle]

this guy gets it

[graceful herald]

agreed

[red tangle]

bruh an X post shouldnt be your source

[vast dew]

if they just gave prapor korunds, and Peacekeeper 56a1 id be happier then shit on a pig

[nocturne robin]

not to mention people who disliked this wipe probably stopped player far before that survey even dropped

[severe venture]

with a trader re work and back to normal loot dissemination / buff... yes

[red tangle]

yeah thats what i said that u replied to mate

[graceful herald]

loot needs to go up though. current marks are good, but empty normal locked rooms and empty crates is real dumb

[boreal hazel]

a poll from Nikita shouldn't be my source on whether Nikita is considering something? You use your brain?

[severe venture]

empty safes will be the death of me

[elfin saffron]

Why can we not play 💔

[uncut basin]

hes too busy givin his brain to me

[red tangle]

i hope he doesnt really base his patches on what the few nutters following him on x and are willing to reply to his x polls are thinking is all i'll say lmao

[nocturne robin]

empty key rooms are the death of me, like how is it empty if i unlocked it :C

[snow patio]

im stuck on gunsmith part 1 because other wipes i could just buy the parts but i cant be bothered wasting time looking for parts

[formal moat]

Your just not trying then

[red tangle]

"im stuck on the first mission cuz i wont do it"

[nocturne robin]

you can buy most parts tbf

[severe venture]

fr, the only good key rooms ive been in with consistent good loot is dorms marked and chek-13 key

[boreal hazel]

I hope he doesn't either

[rotund iron]

Gunsmith 1 is easy as fuck.

[snow patio]

ive been focused on farming killa for tracksuit

[vast dew]

yea like when wipe dropped and i spammed my first marked key and got some toeshanka and a camper axe

[uncut basin]

took me a day or two to find the parts lmao no way i finish 3 any time soon tho cant find a 3 lug anywhere

[formal moat]

You farm killa for tracksuit but you can't do gunsmith part 1 without the flea? Dude..... Half the scav guns that drop you can turn in jsut by repairing them over 60 durability....

[nocturne robin]

yeahhh I dont use marked keys unless ik they buffing em otherwise it never pays out compared to selling on flea or to a trader, but thankgod they buffed it

[snow patio]

as soon as I get that tracksuit and look fresh THEN ill do the quests

[severe venture]

gunsmith 1, 2, and 3 can all be obtained by leveling up traders and bsrtering or buying the necessary parts.

[graceful herald]

The "this is a grind" and hideout loot needs crew don't have a big-picture mindset... i don't want 1.0 to be geared towards kappa in 2-3 months or 5mo wipe cycles. It needs to be a long slow progress.

[boreal hazel]

bets that they'll reduce boss spawns to 15% for those that recently got prestige 3 to slow them down?

[snow patio]

true

[vast dew]

then that will just impact everyone

[wet tartan]

im not able to start the game what do

[nocturne robin]

pretty sure at release wipes will be no more and they will just have prestieging and its just an advance at ur time typa game

[prisma delta]

new player pov

[frail ridge]

Comma pov

[uncut basin]

man i want these servers up so i can rat and steal some kits that ill leave to rot in my hideout

[boreal hazel]

you've excaped. You won.

[frail ridge]

man hasn't done a single quest

[wet tartan]

i dont wanna win i wanna play lol

[prisma delta]

honestly can't fault it i did that shit first wipe too lmao

[snow patio]

i just try to kill shturman and take his svd with the decent ammo he has and try to 1-2tap killa if i can find him

[graceful herald]

Exactly, and i don't want to power through it in 2 months.

[boreal hazel]

I stress myself out all day at work then come home to whiney kids all day... I need to unwind with the most stressful game I've ever played. Give. It. To. Me.

[vast radish]

guys new update need to make sure you have SAFE BOOT enabled or game wont start

[snow patio]

😂

[dense rose]

Server is OPEN YET?

[wet tartan]

exactly so why cant i play if mainteance is done

[graceful herald]

Tons of loot, high hideout (and even up the quest needs) loot needs, and make in-game loot extracts a prime decision making experience

[uncut basin]

lies

[manic prairie]

yeah, you gotta restart your pc

[cerulean ether]

thnx bro @polar salmon

[boreal hazel]

You need to delete system32 folder as it interferes with Tarkovs new anticheat

[graceful herald]

they need to enact a 'turn-in' system for hideout though to prevent massive hoarding necessary to advance

[uncut basin]

anticheat? whats that?

[cerulean ether]

5 minute slowmode in eft chat 1 so i guess everybody talk here now

[nocturne robin]

so then dont force it? if you wanna play slow go ahead, go for pvp and stop others from advancing or just don't play as often, don't just focus only on kappa related quests its all based on how you play it

[deep night]

DONT LISTEN TO AN121 SAYING ITS OPEN IFF IT WAS THEY WOULNT BE SAT HERE SPINNING DITS

[boreal hazel]

anti-anti-cheat

[vast radish]

only real comment

[manic prairie]

oooohhhh that's why it's still not launching. I appreciate you!! 💯

[wet tartan]

how does 1 play the game now

[graceful herald]

yeah, maybe only able to turn in once you have a 'complete stack' of an item

[amber kindle]

they dont, still down

[uncut basin]

sounds about right

[nocturne robin]

I just don't undestand why there isn't a feature to loot quest items off players you have killed that potentionally already went and grabbed that same quest item u need.

[cerulean ether]

oh my game is launching

[snow patio]

im tryna collect tons of the killa fangirl posters for my gooning hideout

[rain halo]

good idea, I was just thinking about that poster

[paper peak]

Curious what region you're in.

[ionic dove]

launcher won't even start now

[frail ridge]

@winged aspen you can say whatever to me again btw

[summer river]

i think the servers are starting to go up. tried to restart launcher and now it won’t open

[severe venture]

ewe pronouns

[winged aspen]

What

[formal moat]

yup, lol

[red tangle]

I GOT A DIFFERENT ERROR THAT TIME OMG ITS CLOSE

[manic prairie]

@graceful herald worked for me

[boreal hazel]

is it sad that we get excited when we get NEW errors? Surely this means progress, no?

[torpid salmon]

i had almost 4gb of logs

[eternal oracle]

if you use clipchamp to trim videos you should also clear your clipchamp appdata every so often as it gets large as hell

[icy hatch]

i do think its less, but someone being aware that they are a casual player and holding it against people who have more (for whatever reason) is ridiculous

[uncut basin]

will trade dirty foot pics for a working server! hmu with offers!

[snow patio]

smh the spammers made this chat get a long slowmode now

[frail ridge]

I'm single again

the meme can resume (curse chek for making it 5 minutes in here as well)

[wet tartan]

game working yet?

[formal moat]

Right now, if we had the flea, a casual player is still going to be sub level 20, struggling for money, but doing ok. They'd be able to buy some level 4 armors, 35-40 pen ammo, but be riding that line between enough money for kits and completly broke.

Me? I'd be over 50 mil, have maxed hideout, a armor plate case full of class 5s and 6s, and have thousands of rounds of the best ammo you can buy and craft...

The flea doesn't just help casuals. It helps the hard core grinders too. And it helps them WAY more

[nimble wolf]

Nah constant user action required pop up

[latent forum]

WHERE PATCH NOTES

[summer river]

no

[green lake]

agreed

[ionic dove]

is game up?

[ashen badge]

not yet for me

[cerulean ether]

airwingmarine why do you always look so coked out

[manic prairie]

that's definitely a really nice thing to say to someone. I bet people really like you

[warped cedar]

speaking facts

[snow patio]

removing the flea does slow down the good players but nowhere near as much as a new player or casual player

[rotund iron]

I still want the flea market to stay disabled.
I've never felt like progression has been more important and rewarding UNTIL they disabled flea market.

[barren shuttle]

@formal moat u should add me back on discord

[eternal oracle]

the cool thing about this is that you dont ahve to use the flea, you can feel rewarded on your own schedule, and abstain from using it.

[nocturne robin]

at this point there will be 1 hour of uptime if that b4 next update :c

[frail ridge]

don't harass people

[elfin saffron]

This is so awesome....

[haughty skiff]

Makes no difference because your just going to struggle even worse while people buy good armor and ammo off flee

[graceful herald]

this 110%

[quasi crystal]

People also forget where that gear on the flea is coming from, it’s not coming from other noobs that’s for sure, it’s us gamers that are flipping trader items every reset for 2-3x the price

[cursive basalt]

Is tarkov still down? should be up right now right?

[cerulean ether]

guy nitro boosted and thinks he's part of the staff team 💀

[severe venture]

this is so gay i just wanna play lmao

[amber kindle]

@cursive basalt nah those morons are useless

[summer river]

was supposed to be up an hour ago.

[manic prairie]

Hear hear. At this point in wipe, money is meaningless usually. This is the first time I've been max traders and struggling to have more than a few mil spare at any given time. I've been through countless wipes and though, yes, this wipe is far from perfect, the lack of a flea market has made me play Tarkov how I first thought it was meant to played, and by extent made me enjoy it far more. I feel like I'm now playing what I thought I would be playing when I first purchased tarkov.

[limpid sequoia]

Bro wasnt this shit suppossed to be up an hour ago

[red tangle]

it might literally not come up before the patch at this point

[quasi crystal]

Flea market actively defeats the purpose of progressing in the game, and takes looting from a finding what you need type of game into a filling every slot you can with as much roubles per slot that you can, it loses all stakes and if you die oh well just go Streets as a Scav and make 1M+ guaranteed

[green lake]

based

[snow patio]

Flea market is realistic though I thought y'all were all about realism
Obviously there should be restrictions but I'm at around 10 mil rn with nothing to spend it on and these dumbass starter quests

[hard skiff]

with all the money we give to BSG you'd think they could afford to pay for redundancy in the datacenter and then have updates without downtime

[quasi crystal]

The noobs just can’t understand that the flea market actually makes the game harder for them than it makes it better

[trim sigil]

Flee market can be added just make more restrictions. Accomodate all players since there is such a divide

[nocturne robin]

I mean flea also makes it easier to progress when quests dont require fir

[quasi crystal]

Or just give the developers time to work on traders more and improve that core gameplay aspect instead of them having hardly anything that you actually need

[south aurora]

Farm 200 jackets to MAYBE get ur quest key, or buy it off flea.

[quasi crystal]

Or BSG adds a static spawn or a barter deal for it to traders

[formal moat]

I'm not sure to be honest...

It might be the white powder that's always on your moms boobs, buts I've never check to be sure.... Too worried about other things.

[cursive basalt]

I dont know. The Fleamarket is a failsafe for casuals. Of course tryhards will profite from it, but there are tryhards. They will be always better than casuals. But if you are out of money as a casual, you just go Shoreline, hit the village or smuggler base, sell the hideout items and you can go in the next raid with ok gear

[dim dagger]

is the server working?

[eternal furnace]

Sooooo is the game up again?

[livid aurora]

no

[fading willow]

what the heck!

[manic prairie]

Never before this wipe have I actually really cared about getting a gun, mags, and ammo, or a set of armour from a quest reward. Now, that is often a deciding factor in which quests I choose to focus on.

[cerulean ether]

jokes on you, i have two dads

[tender kiln]

servers are down for update correct?

[hazy moss]

kinda

[quasi crystal]

Yep, and the casual player just assumes that without the flea market they can’t play but they don’t realise that the flea market is the culprit of making the divide between them and a more experienced player so much wider

[amber kindle]

no theres a magnitude 1 billion earthquake, servers are toast

[severe venture]

this is so gay lol i just wanted to play

[dusty sluice]

when did the servers go down?

[snow patio]

not everyone wants to search 100+ jackets for a random key to complete a quest

flea market is realistic just add restrictions

[shut valley]

Praying for a flea market that only allows purchases of shit like hideout items and keys 🙏

[winged aspen]

Idk what you are talking about

[winter moat]

Is there a wipe coming already?

[hollow heart]

Just do a limit per day or week on flea. That would be lovely

[formal moat]

There are positives and negatives to both no flea and flea tarkov...

Right now it's very difficult to make a good case for no flea tarkov because some of the other bad changes either overshadowed it or nullified it in some way.

The flea does close the gap a little for casuals, but most of what it does is give them a false sense of power. Which isn't meaningless... Feeling better while your playing the game matters, even if you aren't actually doing better.

They are still going to get rolled by anyone with more hours than them even with better gear.

Having to play with random crap you find vs being able to log on and buy some stuff you want is a huge change for the Tarkov player base. And while it objectivly makes the game more engaging and rewarding, it deff isn't for everyone

[manic prairie]

sir, I think you may be a bit stuck on assumptions of there being only one way to do everything, and that is what the guides tell you. You may need to try doing a bit of self experimentation and opening your mind to other ways to play.

[fading willow]

i think they need to buff thermals and give us cloaking devices like in star trek

[quasi crystal]

And you don’t have to, and the flea market being disabled allows BSG to add more static keys spawns as they already have done this wipe and also add more barter deals to traders for quest keys that are needed, this is much healthier for the game.

[hollow quest]

I think they need to add Segways so when I'm overweight I can use a purple flare to airdrop in a Segway and just roll out.

[chilly torrent]

they have the stims that lower body temp

[summer river]

dude, liked the flea when we had it. i’m still fully enjoying myself without it. who tf cares

[errant fog]

aura

[cursive basalt]

I agree on this… speaking about healthy: changing td2 and td3 would be also healthy

[quasi crystal]

I agree

[pearl mauve]

You who are deleting the messages, can you answer me please?
How long until the game is released, can anyone tell me? I know it's not back yet.

[red tangle]

they've barely got the BTR almost working, segways are planned for the 2.0 release.

[rich glen]

soon tm

[tight reef]

BSG rugged

[snow patio]

I wouldn't mind static spawns for quest keys but I still want to be able to buy shit like an SVD instead of getting burnt out by doing senseless quests to level up traders just to buy an SVD or other guns

[winter moat]

When wipe?

[manic prairie]

For sure, that's the reason I've been solo this whole wipe . It's not a fix all solution by any means, and we've seen that this wipe, but I do believe in of itself, a lack of flea market is worlds better for balance than with it.

[livid aurora]

really good job on pushing the patch out at the time they said. great job guys, even after the 2nd time delaying it

[sleek maple]

Stop typing so i can keep my chat updated i have ocd!!!

[quasi crystal]

The patch hasn’t been delayed, and it’s due to begin installation in 2 and a half hours, what are you on about?

[tribal gazelle]

He is predicting the future, because it will be delayed 😄

[hollow quest]

check ur dm's for the insider scoop on Segways.

[vast radish]

nikita got hacked by trump

[dapper locust]

Was supposed to be done 1.5 hours ago, not in 2.5 hours. 😂

[quasi crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/i-see-really-now-i-know-nod-1k-gif-15884481

[quasi crystal]

No, that’s not the patch…

8AM BST

It’s currently 5:30AM BST

[cursive basalt]

It’s always funny af, doesn’t matter which game, how people will go nuts if they can’t play for 12 hours. You guys play this game every day. You will survive 12 hours

[quaint zealot]

Maintance is just taking longer than expected, but lord knows it'll come back up 30 mins before scheduled update.

[manic prairie]

Over half a day without tarkov?? whatever will we do. World is a fuck

[summer river]

think you’re missing something. i do not play every day, i work 12.5 hours a day. im bummed because i wanted to play tarkov and go to bed before going back and busting my ass again.

[winged aspen]

Gotta pick up extra shifts at the ball crushing factory to get my fix now

[formal moat]

I can also promise you, the 1 guy who has access to the EFT Twitter is also fast asleep right now, lol

[cursive basalt]

The only thing I am not understanding is why they don’t immediately do the patch after maintenance. Why bothering putting the servers up for a couple of hours (if they would be up )

[limpid sequoia]

Wait so when is the patch

[mighty oar]

2 hours

[rich glen]

Tomorrow, August 20, at 8:00 AM BST / 3:00 AM EDT we are planning to install Patch 0.16.9.0 for #EscapefromTarkov and Patch 0.3.3.0 for #TarkovArena.

The updates installation will take 6 hours, but may be extended if required. Both games will not be accessible during this period.

[quasi crystal]

The installation begins at 8AM BST. The downtime is expected to be 6 hours but may be extended.

[fading willow]

when are they going to add spell casting and lightsabers and base building

[nocturne robin]

mayyy be extended, I'd count on it with how the datacenters one went :C

[eternal oracle]

i wish theyd release the changelog early for some bedtime reading material

[cerulean ether]

as if any of the mods would even remotely know when the game could come back up 🤣

[quasi crystal]

I’m quoting the announcement made by Battlestate Games themselves you dork

[manic prairie]

wdym all the mods are omniscient deities all seeing, all knowing, and all controlling. Why do you think you can't find that flash drive?

You pray to the tarkov gods, but little do you realize...

[winged aspen]

Praying to the almighty nakaka

[amber kindle]

@quasi crystal should we assume they'll be down until done at 9am edt at the earliest with no uptime in between with it already being 2 hours late? assuming you don't know anything and its just a guess

[quasi crystal]

I would just go to bed

It will be at minimum 8 more hours until people are playing the new patch, probably more

[cerulean ether]

1.0 ready everybody

[quasi crystal]

Clearly it’s not 1.0 ready, that’s why the next patch is 0.16.9.0 and not 1.0

[thorny ravine]

i am in, no cap

[fading willow]

😮

[cursive night]

ITS UPPPPP I'M IN

[amber kindle]

@quasi crystal thanks for the insight, apprecaite it but sleep is for the WEAK

[sullen stag]

2 hours of playing lol

[tribal gazelle]

better then nothing 😄

[vestal pumice]

yoooo

[dire garden]

i want them to let us call in an ac130 gunship

[storm heron]

the game is still down?

[merry geyser]

Breaking News Tarkov 2 comes out in 2026

[wispy stump]

I extracted with my scavs 2 mins before the raid ended and got an error for the patch, did I lost everything?

[river sapphire]

what key is better shauns or vorons?

[clear oyster]

Dude when will it be up again

[twin talon]

looks like another 6 hours.. rip my air filters

[cerulean ether]

its crazy we have an 8 hour downtime 2 hr uptime followed by 8 hr downtime this game is so scuffed

[cosmic gorge]

anyoner want to team up with me

[cursive basalt]

No new content for PvP? 🙁

[tribal gazelle]

flee is back up? is it the event? or the rest of the wipe

[shrewd acorn]

it is but only for lvl 35+

[cursive basalt]

The majority is 50+ anyway or at least it feels like

[tribal gazelle]

Really? I never see anyone over 50+. Maybe its just the streamers. But a lot of dudes are over 35 for sure

[austere kernel]

damn good thing i didnt do marked key runs and sell the shit for money yesterday then lol

[distant parrot]

man the only positive change this wipe and everyone hates it

[austere kernel]

because nikita is a lazy guy who cant spend the effort into troubleshooting and fixing his own game. If you do hardcore, do it right. Not trying to fix your fuck ups by going back on your words, enabling flea market is simply trying to put a banadage on a deep heavy bleeding wound. What people wanted from this patch update was for them to fix all the shit they didnt consider when they disabled the flea market such as test drive 3

[cursive basalt]

I got killed a lot by 53+ and for labyrinth runs the majority of my team is 50+ too

[elfin saffron]

Servers come back up around like 10 or 11 est right?

[tribal gazelle]

tbh never done labyrinth and no clue how to get there 😄

[elfin saffron]

[quasi crystal]

In game? What makes you think that?

That didn’t answer my question

Why do you assume you’re permanently banned?

Show me what makes you think that

[austere kernel]

If theres no mention of rare loot spawn chance changes, can BSG still change it without announcing?

[quasi crystal]

229 means cheating software was detected in your system

[fleet sun]

did you ever cheated in any other games? maybe long time ago?

[quasi crystal]

You don’t get a cheating ban for having bad internet bro

You get a cheating ban because you have cheats on your computer

[frigid crescent]

Any chance the game is up atm?

[fleet sun]

it is

[cyan abyss]

lol cheater

[frigid crescent]

💀

[maiden forge]

where is all that stuff u guys promised us in the roadmap for this pach? there is like nothing in there. first u secretely take the interchange expansion away, now even the optimizations arent even in the patch..

[dusty vigil]

Wait, there was a cheater here? and I missed them?

[hollow shale]

Did the second hc achievement ever get dropped

[winged aspen]

Fr missed the drama

[dusty vigil]

I am sad

[quasi crystal]

It is a reward for completing the collector task

[hollow shale]

Ah I see thx

[fleet sun]

where are those "you guys"? are they with us in the chat rn?

[winged aspen]

No because the devs aren't here XD

[paper junco]

whens servers coming back up?

[winged aspen]

In some time

[ashen folio]

how many hours untill the update was done? rough estimation?

[serene finch]

like another 3

[winged aspen]

Multiple

[tacit apex]

when is character wipes?

[primal bison]

1.0 later this year

[scarlet estuary]

Does anyone know when the update will be done?

[winged aspen]

In a bit

[cursive basalt]

Why are you talking when you are not even helpful? Is this a kink or so? Giving stupid answers for normal questions?

[fleet sun]

"fun not allowed"

[winged aspen]

Free will

[cursive basalt]

It’s not a funny answer, is just a dumb answer that adds no fun to a conversation.
No one is sitting in front of his computer and is laughing because she does give stupid answers.

[fleet sun]

your reaction is surely entertaining to me

[cursive basalt]

Glad I am entertaining you. It is very rare for Germans being entertaining. Do you mind if I mark the day in my calendar?

I just feel bad for people asking questions, hoping for a normal answer

[fleet sun]

A german entertains a fellow german. Just that you know: No one knows more then it says in the #eft-announcements

[winged aspen]

[cursive basalt]

I know right. The missing capability of reading nowadays is insane.

[fleet sun]

i will send u link to official german tarkov discord in dms btw
idc if you join, noticed that many germans don´t know it exists

[cursive basalt]

There is one? sure go ahead, I appreciate it

[vocal wagon]

How much longer! I want to play 🙁

[primal bison]

atleast 1 hour

[fast tundra]

“Improved the AI grenade launcher aiming system;”

Nooooo 😩

[ashen folio]

are they finally fixing the rogues and endless abuse of people farming them for stupid easy shit?

[proud summit]

go show some interest in family, i swear the time flys by.. holy damn

[fast tundra]

they actually have good loot? mostly just broken m4s and M855

[serene finch]

i just take the m4's and repair them ngl

[fast tundra]

yea theyre still only like 85 dur and jam more often. i only use them for shit kits

[proud summit]

probably one of the best "shit kit" weapons you could use then eh? 😄

[scarlet estuary]

I've read that, but they are never correct on their timing, usually and most of the times people know more than that. Mr.Sherlock

[serene finch]

5 minute slow mode is insane what the hell.
@fast tundra Yeah I used the couple i had helping a couple buddies through ground zero

[plush pier]

Banner got me scarred for life

[stuck fjord]

??wipe

[winged aspen]

:3

[serene finch]

They're just doing a patch and server maintenance i believe.

[prisma delta]

that banner is 😩

[serene finch]

G59 fan ey? Im going to grey day in vegas on the 22nd

[tulip lichen]

dee

[mighty zinc]

Does anyone know if I buy Tarkov Arena through Epic Games (it's cheaper there), do I need EPIC LAUNCHER to play, or does the game only run through BSG LAUNCHER?

[proud summit]

how much is it on epic?

[serene finch]

download the Epic Games launcher and search it up its $34.99 @mighty zinc @proud summit It is also $35 on the regular website

[mighty zinc]

no, via regular website you need to pay also VAT and Xsolla fee €47.53 total. On epic it is final price VAT and Fee included 37€.

[proud summit]

yeah that's a decent deal. Sorry I can't answer about the launcher.

[serene finch]

Then you have ur answer, download the Epic Games launcher and buy it, if it requires the BSG launcher then itll say so when you try and launch it from the Epic Games launcher @mighty zinc

[mighty zinc]

I dont want aditional launcher, i want to only play via BSG launcher. If it is possible to buy it on epic and play only via BSG launcher? - that is my question.

[serene finch]

@mighty zinc Probably not, itll most likely have to initialize from the epic games launcher.

[proud summit]

you'll probably have to use the epic launcher atleast once... to connect it to the bsg launcher. but after that it may auto log in from bsg launcher and not need epic. (uninstall after)

[serene finch]

The downloaded file will be installed under epic games, itll have to use epic games to initialize the game everytime due to that, its like playing Rainbow Six Siege off of steam, even though you have it on steam it still needs to launch the Ubisoft launcher to play the game, but you are still able to just buy it on ubisoft to avoid having to launch it on steam and launch ubisoft at the same time

[proud summit]

anyone here still using process lasso still for this game?

[mossy quarry]

new potatos dont need it

[prisma delta]

i do same with islc, why

[serene finch]

What exactly does it help with? focusing CPU usage? RAM usage?

[proud summit]

CPU processor controller basically. More background control of apps and you can set it priority to high, even though you can set that through windows task manager, I feel it's not always the case as it's automatically on high.. lasso forces it from start up. I used to use it and get a good increase. But it don't know if the games are better optimized yet with bsg. I'm only recently coming back for the hardcore

[prisma delta]

take what i say with a grain of salt as i dumbed it down a lot.
if you have a 12 core CPU, tarkov will spread the load through all 12 cores at like 8% per core.
with lasso it tightens up the usage and will spread it to like 6 cores at a higher % usage

[red tangle]

windows power plan set to performance if not already

[livid aurora]

soo no event?

[mossy quarry]

not or lvl 9s

[fallen cosmos]

IMPORTANT! CHECK ANNOUNCEMENTS GAME IS BACK ONLINE!

[gritty cradle]

'The updates are extended. Thanks for your patience.'

[kindred rover]

what r u talkin about?

[elfin summit]

it's not

[spark marsh]

They are trolling in the other eft chat and thought they can come over here and do it

[eternal oracle]

i do wonder what causes significant delays, like do they release the patch and it completely fucks everything and they have to do active development to remedy, or what lol
oh didnt know its 5min slow mode in here lol

[obtuse quartz]

russian dev and russian modem probably isnt making it faster atleast

[warped cedar]

yea i wonder as well like did a plug in not work or something do the have test raids before?

[serene finch]

The way i think about it is that they probably cant overload the system with everything at once, or maybe they can. So perhaps they have to do it in incriments and if something fails the devs have to go back and check it and make adjustments to make sure they all work together incrimentally if that makes sense?

[gritty cradle]

The way I think about it is that they probably set their servers on fire, and Russian fire department is slow and underfunded if that makes sense?

[serene finch]

That seems a bit more reasonable

[ashen folio]

EFT is such a weird product relative to other games. Why do they have to shut down there servers for such long periods for updates

[primal pumice]

Remember last time people had wiped accounts

[tender skiff]

OPEN UP!!!!!!

[ashen folio]

goba goooooo

[stark dove]

Ey Tone, it’s like they don’t know how to run these servers or some shit

[gritty cradle]

New BSG Update: Servers are expected to be online within 5-7 business days. Thank you for your patience.

[tender skiff]

[livid aurora]

No queen building with the garage and tent on the groubd floor oposit from white bishop

[astral path]

[runic raft]

east wing near admin hall

[burnt geode]

key required?

hey, does anyone know where the information is for the new questline part 2 on shoreline?

[summer dirge]

[paper lark]

anyone find the diary for part 3 yet?

[fringe sleet]

[eternal oracle]

I def turned away from containers today.

[golden lark]

yoo i just found a map on a scav but it disappeared out of my inventory, it was a "map piece" found on a scav, it said "will it lead to trouble or great riches." anyone know what it is???

[buoyant moon]

Do we have a date for 1.0?

[fringe sleet]

mine is failing most of the time, and container stays open( normally closes)

[sullen blade]

Lowest I could spend on a PC to run tarkov??

[fading crater]

anyone know where the diary for mechanic is for pt3

[golden lark]

thats whay i thoiught at first but i dont think it was cause no extracts popped up

[tropic light]

w

[summer dirge]

second hand

[thick blade]

i have an arena bug making me invisible, persistent through clearing cache, clearing logs, relaunching and rebooting my computer. any ideas on how to fix it? ive tried everything I can think of, other than reinstalling, so far

[sullen blade]

What specs

[ionic spindle]

Its at the church tower in sunken village on woods. we are trying to find it rn but cannot see where it is exactly.

[icy stream]

Theres multiple spawns so far 2 in the water where you drop at the beginning and 1 one on each ramp that goes in and out the church

[sullen blade]

What specs do I need

[summer dirge]

i really can't tell you this since the minimum/recommended specs that BSG provides make very little sense, they also dont line up with every map. You can have the game running fine on Customs or Factory and run on 20fps on Streets. Your best bet is to just drop in and hope for the best.

places like /r/buildmeapc can help you better than i ever could. I did build this PC myself with parts i scrounged together (some from my old pc, the rest second hand or new) and i got it on the cheap, decent gaming pc for under €500.

That is very cheap for its performance, so i couldnt tell you how unless you go hunting for bargains yourself. But i really wouldn't recommend aiming for less than €600. Having a good single-threading CPU is the most important for Tarkov by the way.

Also its worth knowing that buying cheap means you aren't future-proofing your PC and you'll be back to wanting to get a new one within 3 years.

[uncut shale]

Anyone with this error message during download/update :

MY GAME IS F&CKED

F&&&&&&&&CKKKKKKKK

[vestal lotus]

do longer barrels in this game affect the damage value of ammo?

[winged aspen]

No

This ain't cod

[vestal lotus]

damn i thought it would, i mean since the gun systems seem to be pretty realistic (beside the obvious silencer being quiet and guns having too low recoil)

[winged aspen]

Longer barrel increasing damage isn't realistic lmao

Your damage is based on the bullet you use

[opaque needle]

Longer barrel should help with dmg dropoff or velocity but that's such a small thing idk if that's an issue in the game. I look at MOA that's it

[analog flare]

hi quick question, is extracting as scav pl ay er fixed? no more black screen and lost gear after scav raid ?

[stuck fjord]

Ok, thanks

[ionic dove]

Anyone else have their generator missing in their hideout? Or is this supposed to be, like some kind of event?

[vivid flame]

I have tried to install the arena in every way and it won't let me, does anyone know why this could be?

[dusky glen]

Please some1 tell me I am not the only one who's generator in the hideout has magically disappeared!

[solid wolf]

[silent jasper]

anyone else having connection issues?

i have like 250ping and its kicking me out of raid cant reconnect, and its 100% not my internet

[dire garden]

try using a vpn, or choose a different server

[silent jasper]

its definetly not my internet

ill try a difrrent server

[blazing ibex]

is arena down again?

[viral falcon]

they fix the arena bug?

[dire garden]

well it kinda is if you have poor routing, try a diff server, or a VPN

[oblique dagger]

someone found the disc for Last spurt - Pioneer yet?

[silent jasper]

i have never had a connection issue ever before, my internet/ping on everything else every other game i tried right now everything is perfect

today 2 raids were fine, then got kicked from one raid and cant get rid of this problem i cant even play

[dire garden]

thats fine, it's the routing, nothing you can control

its why I say try a VPN, to the same city as you even

[silent jasper]

okay thanks, ill try

whats a good free vpn?

[eternal oracle]

exitlag is pretty popular for this use case

[dire garden]

nothing is free 😆

[barren socket]

[dire wadi]

[idle olive]

did they patch arena glitch?

[opal cedar]

anyone else still getting the 228 stash error? they said it was fixed but im still unable to do anything in my stash. I also dont have the extra stash lines in PvE, they only show up in PvP

[junior jackal]

any answers to this?

[idle olive]

i played a game and didnt get anything, ppl saying the same and it is patched

[junior jackal]

okay

well it was fun

[junior iris]

is cheating allowed in PVE or just PVP?

[tawdry valve]

Did they patch arena thing yet

[fleet sun]

ur funny man
its not allowed anywhere

[eternal oracle]

lmao

[uncut oasis]

yeah its patched

[eternal oracle]

they not gonna roll anyone back?

[uncut oasis]

nah

[eternal oracle]

so everyone that boosted their shit to elite is just elite endurance for free in everything lol

[uncut oasis]

yeah pretty much lol

[eternal oracle]

i did my ref task and like 4 of my things were elite and i didnt even do anything out of the ordinary

mfs on my team sitting ins pawn searching shit all game

[shy dragon]

why did i just get a anticheat connection failed error and get kicked? what does that even mean

[eternal oracle]

stop cheating

[fast crypt]

So did the skills get fixed?

Can anyone check there account and confirm

[plush turret]

Not rolled back

[vernal wyvern]

My bolt-action rifles went from level 4 to level 3

xD

[fast crypt]

Tragic. They just lost another 20k players this wipe

[dire wadi]

for what?

[fast crypt]

People who didn’t get max stats aren’t going to keep playing against other people the same level with elite stats

A waste of time they have a clear advantage cheaters already annoying enough now we got lvl 30 max stat players sprinting across streets in 1 Stam bar

I’m sure you have max stats so you have no complaints of course

[dire wadi]

Lol such over kill statement, i think it was like2-4 wipes ago when a bug happend all that had max lvl traders could buy endlesly of all ammo, and ppl said the same stuff,

i think i have heard things like this every wipe from some type of bug or abuse etc, exampel the smoke bug abuse last wipe, etc.

yes i have some skill max but it wont afect me sinc im trying to presitge to lvl 3, got like 5-6 quest away.

[fast crypt]

Skills don’t run out

Ammo will

[dim vapor]

If your poor maybe

[fast crypt]

It’s not overkill just take the grind and fun away from average people

I’m fine if they just put everyone at max stats

[dim vapor]

Bwo it’s not fair

[fast crypt]

Max stats it’s a crazy advantage

[dim vapor]

Should’ve hopped on arena g

[fast crypt]

Yeah out of town working.

[dim vapor]

Seems like your stats would be behind anyway

[dire wadi]

max skills doesent make that big dif in my opinion, 7k andy here for the past 10-12 wipes. there has been a lot of wipes where i have max skills and new timmys dont, but thats a part of the game, altho this was a bug. i dont se why you would make such a statment that 20k ppl would be so but hurt over something so trivial.

[fast crypt]

Not too bad I’m lvl 40

[dim vapor]

90% of these kids will have max strength and sit in a corner not moving anyway it ain’t that deep

[fast crypt]

Bc now the other 20k have elite stats

[dire wadi]

true, 100%

[desert sandal]

so how does prestige work exactly? does it reset my whole account except the rewards or do i just pay the roubles and skills or what

[dire wadi]

its like restarting your acc from day one, altho with all achivments playtime etc.

you get it like day 1

[dim vapor]

You can bring Like 28 slots with you also

[balmy spruce]

Proof?

[dire wadi]

5% of skill points is retained

[fast crypt]

Look on twitter and discord

Mad people complaining

[dire wadi]

bro not all who is complaining on twitter is actually playing this wipe.

[balmy spruce]

Ah. Wouldn't suprise me. They'll come back for 1.0 tho

[desert sandal]

so does the prestige transfer over wipes or the people i was seeing prestige like a week or two ago just already that far ahead

[fast crypt]

Wipe went from everyone on level playing field to some kids having stats like they have played 2k more raids

[dire wadi]

its retaind on account

[fast crypt]

Well I’m playing. I’m lvl 40 and I don’t think some people should have way better stats then me just bc I didn’t get on arena

[desert sandal]

okay i was wondering how people were prestige 2 level ~40 when i am barely level 35 lol

[balmy spruce]

Didn't they fix people boosting xp via Arena?

Or nerf it I should say

[dire wadi]

ye its retained like achivments, so alot of ppl will prestige to lvl 3, and have all done to lvl 4, but wont prestige untill like 1 week before wipe. so they dont reset all items hideout, skills etc untill nex wipe

[desert sandal]

gotcha, so ill shoot for kappa and if it turns out i cant reach it this wipe ill just prestige.

[dire wadi]

kappa is needed for prestige

[desert sandal]

oh okay. i stopped playing tarkov after i got kappa the wipe before lighthouse was added so there is a lot of stuff im still adjusting to

[dire wadi]

i see 🙂 hope you get your prestige and kappa this wipe 😄

[desert sandal]

thatd be nice, but idk if im willing to mentally degrade myself to that point again lmao. i remember getting it then never wanting to touch that game again. shit was rough

probably because i was a rat

[fierce orchid]

lighthous missions sucks... I dont have twitch slavecomunity for that^^

[desert sandal]

@fierce orchid im having issues getting those and the streets tasks done but you run enough shitty kits with mosins in you start to learn the map a bit

[dire wadi]

same, altho i think an update is comming to fix this issues 🙂 it seams like it from nikitas posts. but hopping for a rework of the map, and more points of intrest rather than 2 houses and roug camp.

[odd barn]

WTF with raidrs aim ????

[dire wadi]

only 2 quest on streets is kappa req now,

[desert sandal]

yea and i chose bear this wipe @odd barn

[dire wadi]

delisius sasuge or what the name is, and test drive part 2.

also the guide

[desert sandal]

i have been forcing myself to go to streets cause its the only marked room keys i have so might as well knock some quests out

[odd barn]

no i meen this guys who can spawn on reserve
after update they started just auto aim in head

[fierce orchid]

btw what is the event ?

[tough hemlock]

if someone lists a Magpul AFG tactical foregrip (OLIVE) on flea for 500k ill buy it. stuck on smith 17

[desert sandal]

why are all the player scavs traitors on factory

[dull prawn]

Because that's where people run their scavs when they die and are waiting for their squad

[desert sandal]

i just dont understand why so many people kill their scav rep for my metal cutting scissors and bank robber rig but hell i guess im asking for it going to factory

[dull prawn]

Because they don't care, they maybe run one or two scavs a day tops, usually just to kill time

[twilit hazel]

anyone know why to great heights part 4 took my 1m rub and reset? Did not even get to play any of the arena games

[terse vault]

You can easily find that key in drawers. I've found so many now

[maiden bane]

[plain spear]

anyone know what to do if the disk for game review disappears from inventory?

[vestal lotus]

Just saw the release day announcement, after yesterday's patch they really thought it's going to be 1.0 ready??

I guess might as well release it and move on to whatever game that is planned and then maybe one day Tarkov 2 lmao.

[crimson kiln]

Plenty of time to fix it - the one that concerns me the most is the transit "bug"

[vestal lotus]

This game has tons of stuff to fix but I guess it is what it is

At this point the foundation has been laid, can only hope they learned what they can and put those into the next game theyre making.

[plain aspen]

lol the looting bug is insane, i had to hit this box 5 seprate times to get it to open

[plain aspen]

is it a item you gotta pickup in game? if so does it say resets upon death? some you have to extract and turn in without dying

Has anyone else had an issue playing PvE with friends?

A buddy and I are trying to play and his game gets stuck at loading loot pools, then disconnects and crashes after sitting there for a while. I'm able to get into the raid just fine

[ebon cipher]

If the game is running on your internet maybe that is the cause. Try using the bsg servers in that case.

If not, then disregard what I said

[daring maple]

ill ask, he was party leader
ty!

[plain spear]

any updates to the event today?

[late venture]

So is there anyway to fix the stash line bug? I have not played in a couple wipes and was going to play today. I have the unheard edition with all the stash purchases. On PVE i have 128 or 130 lines and on PVP i only have 72.

[plain spear]

they are supposed to be fixed now i thought

[late venture]

i have not done a raid or anything maybe that will fix it lol. i sent BSG a ticket but that will take a week or a month lol

i counted every line lol

[late venture]

so i had 0 raids this wipe so i reset my account and that fixed it

[plain spear]

nice!

as of recent patch they are broken

[terse marten]

massive skill issue

[young patio]

@terse marten your cute

[terse marten]

what makes you think they shouldnt be allowed to headshot you? if you rely on a mechanic like that to exist than you're just bad

[young patio]

if you didnt notice the change in AI behavior, i feel sorry for you, the first bullet is face every time. not on mounted guns.

[terse marten]

I did but headshots are fair game

not every time lol

[young patio]

yes bro, i pulled them into water treatment, held a spot, and he 1 tap my face instantly. only way to kill would have been to prefire i was INSIDE

[terse marten]

why didnt you prefire

[young patio]

cus i didnt know you had to PREFIRE them now??? that makes no sense

[terse marten]

oh no my ammo!

loses all ammo anyway

its not every time bud. you got tarkoved
