@BCTheTruthl I am the same way, there are genre's I simply do not care for so I will not judge their hype. Marathon was the last release I was hopeful would live up to hype, simply because I want something to have the feeling of Tarkov without the issues of Tarkov.

@dienowkthx So for me Elden Ring isn't overhyped because I never thought I would like it anyway because I dont like those kind of games so although it was hyped, it wasn't for me personally.

Games that didn't live up to the hype (for me):

@pcgamer Jenebitch to the void where he belongs.

Path of Exile's richest player and item trading kingpin gets banned and pleads with Grinding Gear Games to restore 'more than 1,500 items, some of which can't ever be recreated': 'This is the worst day of my life' pcgamer.com/games/rpg/path…

@nikgeneburn This picture has to be fake, no packet loss in the top right corner.

@nikgeneburn Pretty bad honestly. When you loot guards that die on mounted machine guns you encounter the bug where you can no longer shoot guns again. Still lag and rubber band every time an entity spawns on the map (scav, player, etc).

how is the latest patch, guys?

@nikgeneburn Compared to the constant hitching and packet loss on entity spawn during raids (scavs, pscavs, air drop plane), matching times were a non issue.

maybe you noticed - we are doing some changes to matching, reducing matching times. There will be more changes to that to reduce it more

@nikgeneburn The packet loss and rubber banding when scavs and player scavs spawn is by far the biggest issue in raid right now, running around the same corner 3x trying to fight someone is beyond frustrating.

- seasonal character, PvE prestige is planned later after Q2 (in Q3) - matching times being addressed at this moment - anticheat stuff is being added almost every single patch -pretty big optimization part is that culling system rework in Q2 patch, also vegetation rework related to optimization -EoD unique clothing and armband is planned in Q2 patch (maybe earlier) -Icebreaker event moved to Q2, cause it's really big event, needs to have more testing and fixes -FSR4 in plans

@nikgeneburn 4-7 min NA Matching time is far less of an issue than the rubber banding and packet loss when something spawns on the map.

guys, pls tell what is your average matching time and what region/servers are selected?

@tarkov Does this include a fix to the rubber banding and packet loss every time a scav or player scav spawns on the map ?

Tomorrow, February 10 at 7:00 AM GMT / 2:00 AM EST we are planning to install patch 1.0.2.0 for Escape from Tarkov. The installation will take between 4 and 6 hours, but may be extended if required. The game will be unavailable during this time. The official websites #EscapefromTarkov and #TarkovArena will be temporarily unavailable from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM GMT / 2:00 AM to 4:00 AM EST.

@nikgeneburn Killing a scav as a player scav should be a static rep loss amount, not an arbitrary number that tanks your rep below 6 just because some idiot had a bad shot and I didn't.

@mrm04t @tarkov His stats are normal and you missed your shots, where are the cheats ?

@tarkov literally just now

Since October 18, 2025, more than 11000 cheaters have been banned in #EscapefromTarkov: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

@nikgeneburn The server hitches and rubber banding every time an entity (scavs, player scavs, air drops) spawns in a map. Something with their creation on server seems to be either lagging the server itself, or the information being sent to client is lagging the client.

decided to fix the game by myself finally. What do I need to fix/add/balance. Keep it short lets go

@LiquidCheese13 @tarkov Nothing in those stats says cheater.

We have installed update 1.0.0.5 for #EscapefromTarkov. The game will not be stopped, however the raid time on servers undergoing the updates may be reduced to 10 minutes. Please download the update via the launcher. The Winter season will be enabled on all locations after the full update of game servers and clients. ● Fixed the loading wheel icon showing throughout the starting mission; ● Fixed the camera lock and character movement lock that occurred when using consumable items before the second cutscene on Terminal; ● Fixed the inability to complete a specific task in the Batya story chapter in PvE mode; ● Fixed the lock for weapon operations and looting that occurred after looting a character that got killed while using a stationary weapon; ● Fixed the abrupt interruption of consumable item animations in certain cases; ● Fixed the incorrect spawn points for Zryachiy and his guards on Lighthouse; ● Fixed the audio artifacts when quickly skipping trader dialogue lines; ● Fixed the item icon display issues when trading while using active filters; ● Smoothed out the BTR movement; ● Fixed the incorrect message layout in the Messages tab; ● Fixed several localization errors; ● Fixed several visual geometry bugs across all locations; ● Fixed several interface issues.

@CptJamesForce @HayzStreams @Martine1337 @nikgeneburn Shoreline best map. I usually have super fast queues there though, even on scav.

@HayzStreams @Martine1337 @dienowkthx @nikgeneburn It's true. Man is a chronic yapper and a stash enjoyer. Also loves Shoreline so that's 10min load times at least haha

preparing special promo in couple of mins

@HayzStreams @nikgeneburn You did get your wish, your biggest threat now is sniper toz's.

@dienowkthx @nikgeneburn I don't either. I'll be lucky if I get 3 PMC raids per day.

@nikgeneburn Free toz to snipe with, sweet.

PAY2WIN

@HayzStreams @nikgeneburn Not everyone plays this game for a living, this will help more casual players and players who did not buy the most expensive editions with some extra space.

@nikgeneburn Pls don't give us all that 😬

@nikgeneburn I can never have enough thicc cases

@OhhLiightZ @tarkov Ah, NA server matching times for shoreline are much much quicker.

@dienowkthx @tarkov EU Servers

The technical issues have been resolved. #EscapefromTarkov

@OhhLiightZ @tarkov What servers are you on ? I just matched in 20 seconds, it took longer to load loot than it took to find a match.

@dienowkthx @tarkov This was shoreline
